Who is asking for "database upgrade"? Limesurvey?

This is usually no problem and you won't loose data. However, before upgrading it is always good to make a backup of your database, just in case something goes wrong.

Database upgrade not database delete and create …

We make the maximum to don't loose any data during database upgrade.

Then: you don't loose data on upgrade.

Else : it's always good to make a backup before any update.
