Is this because the term "master" was used in the during slavery? But a) that term is much older, going back to Latin according to https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/master#Etymology_1. b) You might success is banning the word, but the roles master and slave do exist after slavery is banned, and are going to be there for a very long time. I alternate between a first world country and a third world country and know who the masters are. They typically have the money, the know how, .. put in one world, the _power_. The very fact the masters choose not to call themselves masters, shows who the masters are! This whole word game is a deception!

In the forums we discuss issue based, as can be seen in the title of the post, "Re: Massive duplicated questions". The database question is something new. So it should be a new discussion and ideally in the proper forum. You see the list of forums on the community home page https://moodle.org/course/view.php?id=5. Linked to that is the Forums code of conduct which contain more hints. One tip that may be not listed there: There is an excellent Advanced search (linked from the right side drawer). And don't forget Before you post.. Read this..
When we are at it your first post in this discussion https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=452758#p1844526 also belongs to a new thread. Thread hijacking is not appreciated - specially by the OP. Since Sarit has never come back after he posted the question, the damage is under control.

Yeah, your Moodle kind of suffocated in that shared platform.
I suggest, you move to another hosting provider. The only thing you need to take with you is a healthy Site backup. Then do a Site restore at the new provider. Roughly the same thing is documented as Moodle migration.
Important: Watch out for compatible system software, mainly the web server, PHP and the DBMS. Here is an overview: http://www.syndrega.ch/blog/#php-and-dbms-compatibility-of-major-moodle-releases. Notice the _maximium_ compatible versions!

Hi
I don't reply to PMs. See my profile. Now you've written in the forum, I will respond.
From the patch you've posted: I can see the issue, it is MDL-75854. "Questions were duplicated in the question bank during restore of a course from Moodle 3.11.2 into a new Moodle 4.0.1 site for all questions in system wide categories. Questions inside the course (not system wide) were not duplicated."

I remember. Apparently it was not solved in Moodle 4.0. It must have reached EOL by then. Either way, it will never be patched.
>> Time will tell if it is only Moodle 4.) courses or if it is Moodle 4.4 courses as well.
Good question. The bigger question is why you don't follow the recommended Upgrading path, rather on the Course backup > Course restore path - to an outdated Moodle, version 4.0, which is known to have this bug?
Being stuck in an old version is never good. If you really have no other options, why don't you apply this patch to your Moodle? (Again, I don't understand it at a programming level to take any responsibility.)

Why?

Can you present the evidence. I haven't seen or heard such complaints in the many, many discussions in the Installing and Upgrading forum.
> I guess I'm just going to have to fined a way to work around it .

Well, it is your decision, if you're fixed on taking unmarked routes, but don't put the blame on Moodle!
