Keep track of Database Updates?

    I was wondering how WooCommerce keeps track of whether the database needs updating or not. I have a reporting tool where I want to report if a website I run needs to update it’s woocommerce database.

    Looking at some of the options my first thought was woocommerce_admin_notices which just held array( 'update' ); but even after updating the database it didn’t change substantially enough to keep track reliably, just added “legacy_shipping” to the array.

    I also notice there’s a woocommerce_db_version option but then I’m not sure what or how to compare it to the version it expects.

    Pretty much I’m looking for a reliable way to keep track of when WooCommerce wants to update the database.

    We simply use the woocommerce_db_version option. if it’s less than the current version, any updates are queued.

    Ah, thanks! I didn’t realize it was the same version as WooCommerce, I figured they were defined separately, that makes things easy.
