# SQL validation fails during upgrade

> When trying to upgrade to a new Automation Suite version, `validateUiPathASReadiness.sh` can fail to validate SQL connectivity.

## Description

When trying to upgrade to a new Automation Suite version, `validateUiPathASReadiness.sh` can fail to validate SQL connectivity.

The `validateUiPathASReadiness.sh` script uses the `podman` command to run containers to verify the SQL connection.

If there is any corruption in the Podman system data, the `podman` command can fail to run and, consequently, can cause the `validateUiPathASReadiness.sh` execution to fail also.

## Solution

You can verify if there is any Podman data corruption by running the `podman volume ls` or `podman secret ls` command. If the previous commands fail, you can reset the Podman files by running the `podman system reset` command.

:::note
The `podman system reset` command stops all Podman containers and removes all images, volumes, networks, and container content.
