[otrs] Can I use upgraded DB on new code install?

Hi, I have an old (3.x) installation that I want to migrate to current 6.x. Can I run the DB upgrade scripts from all intermediate versions against my database, and then expect that upgraded database to work on a brand new installation? (Assuming I handle migration of the config files to the new install, of course.) I don't see why this wouldn't work, but thought I should at least ask the experts... Thanks in advance, Mike Morris
