I am writing to seek clarification regarding the database update scripts described in the [IFS Cloud 26R1 Technical Documentation](https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/26r1/060_development/027_base_server_dev/007_concepts/200_upgrade_scripts/).

While the documentation outlines the use of traditional script files such as `.INS`, `.CDB`, and `.UPG`, we have noticed the introduction and increasing use of database update scripts designed for online updates.
(https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/26r1/060_development/027_base_server_dev/007_concepts/250_online_upgrades/)

In light of this transition, we would appreciate your guidance on the following points:

1. **Deprecation Status:** Are traditional database update script files (`.INS`, `.CDB`, `.UPG`) planned for deprecation in future releases, or will they continue to be supported?
2. **Coexistence and Deployment:** If a deployment package contains both traditional update files and online update scripts, will both types of scripts be properly applied without conflict?
