When installing 7.1 beta with an existing 7.01 installation, no database connections are imported. Any additional drivers exist, however.
Also in 7.01 before I installed 7.1 beta, some connections periodically disappeared permanently so I had to re-define them.
Weird, it works for me. Please, run your NB7.1Beta again with new userdir, import NB7.0.1 and attach your messages.log (View|IDE Log menu item). And, could you attach a part of NB7.0.1 userdir, C:\Users\
I could not reproduce the issue with the suggested method. I think it could be possible that I overlooked when exactly original connections disappeared with issue 203381.
