I've updated peeron to deal with the new values (all it took was (...) (18 years ago, 11-Jul-06, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.db.inv)

Another little suggestion - adding new columns at the end will often eliminate the effect of changes like this (and scripts can even be written to explicitly expect the possibility of new columns being added at the end).
