That's right. There isn't one. The PostgreSQL and Oracle schemas will be 
removed also in a future release, as soon as the setup system supports 
these databases too.

Yes.

Maybe you could create a copy of your database, run the setup script on 
this database and compare the result with your 0.9.1 database. The 
schema is created/updated automatically based on the node classes that 
can be found in the different modules. Only in special cases, when it's 
hard to detect certain changes based on the node class file (for example 
when a certain field gets renamed), customized code is used in the setup 
proces.

Because the node classes reflect the database schema and vice versa the 
best way to start is comparing the old nodes with the new ones (which is 
a difficult thing to do for this release, because of the moving of all 
nodes to seperate modules), or do the above.
