Not sure how old your DB is, but I successfully updated a database that was a little over a year old without losing anything.
I updated the binaries, etc., all to current, then ran the eqemu_server.pl update script to run db updates. (along with
fetching new dll's, etc) But if your database is really old, (before tables were renamed), then it could be a problem.
If you have a db table "character_" (with the underscore at the end), you're playing with a dinosaur, lol
