Wishful thinking ???

Here's what I did:
using phpmyadmin I created a copy of my current stores database and change my sites config file to use the new database.
I then logged into admin and applied the 4.1.9 to 4.1.11 sql patches to the copied database.
Then I put my config file back to its normal settings so I don't have to worry about the current store having problems.
I then created a new directory
http://mysite.com/new and began the install process for 4.1.11 (new install) I simply set it to use a current database instead of creating one.
I now have a full version of 4.1.11 installed, using my current data, with no obvious problems and I'm ready to do the update_sql patch for 4.2.
It only took me about 30 minutes to do the whole thing.
