    INSERT INTO `outcome` (`outcome_id`, `aapor_id`, `description`, `default_delay_minutes`, `outcome_type_id`, `tryanother`, `contacted`, `tryagain`, `eligible`, `require_note`, `calc`) VALUES(42, '3.13', 'Max call attempts reached', 0, 4, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 'UH');
    INSERT INTO `outcome` (`outcome_id`, `aapor_id`, `description`, `default_delay_minutes`, `outcome_type_id`, `tryanother`, `contacted`, `tryagain`, `eligible`, `require_note`, `calc`) VALUES(43, '3.13', 'Max calls reached', 0, 4, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 'UH');

    ALTER TABLE `sample_import_var_restrict` DROP PRIMARY KEY, CHANGE var var CHAR(128);
    ALTER TABLE `sample_import_var_restrict` ADD `var_id` BIGINT( 20 ) UNSIGNED PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT AFTER `sample_import_id`;
    ALTER TABLE `sample_import_var_restrict` ADD `type` SMALLINT( 10 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AFTER `var`;

    ALTER TABLE `sample_var` ADD `var_id` BIGINT( 20 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AFTER `sample_id`;

    UPDATE `sample_var` as sv ,`sample`as s, `sample_import_var_restrict` as sivr SET sv.`var_id`=sivr.`var_id` WHERE sv.`var` LIKE sivr.`var` AND sv.`sample_id`=s.`sample_id` AND s.`import_id`=sivr.`sample_import_id`;

    UPDATE `sample_import_var_restrict` ,
    `sample_var` SET `sample_import_var_restrict`.`type` = `sample_var`.`type` WHERE `sample_import_var_restrict`.`var_id` = `sample_var`.`var_id`;

    ALTER TABLE `qsqr_sample` ADD `exclude_var_id` BIGINT( 20 ) NOT NULL AFTER `questionnaire_sample_quota_row_id`;

    UPDATE `qsqr_sample` as qsqr, `sample_import_var_restrict` as sivr, questionnaire_sample_quota_row as qq SET qsqr.exclude_var_id = sivr.var_id WHERE qq.questionnaire_sample_quota_row_id = qsqr.questionnaire_sample_quota_row_id AND qq.sample_import_id = sivr.sample_import_id and qsqr.exclude_var = sivr.var;

    ALTER TABLE `sample_var` DROP PRIMARY KEY;
    ALTER TABLE `sample_var` DROP `var`;
    ALTER TABLE `sample_var` DROP `type`;
    ALTER TABLE `sample_var` ADD PRIMARY KEY (`sample_id`,`var_id`);

  8. Rename the queXS 1.12.x directory
  9. Extract quexs-1.13.0 to a new directory on your web server
  10. Rename the new directory to the same as the existing installation was originally
  11. Copy the config.inc.local.php file from the queXS 1.12.x installation to this directory
  12. If you used .htaccess files, copy these to their respective directories also, for example: .htaccess admin/.htaccess client/.htaccess include/limesurvey/admin/.htaccess
