DB Error on update to Civi 4.7

[ichi]

Hello,

when updating Civi on Drupal 7.41 from CiviCRM 4.6.11 to CiviCRM 4.7, I encounter this fatal error :
CiviCRM_API3_Exception: DB Error: no such field in civicrm_api3() (line 45 of /home/site.com/public_html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/api/api.php).

Should the drush command drush updb be applied on Civi update before logging into the site ?

Best.

I am encountering an error as well from civicrm 4.6.11 on drupal 7.38-1 running the database upgrade script to 4.7

The status of Drupal indicate :

Error
Database updates   Out of date
Some modules have database schema updates to install. You should run the database update script immediately.


When on updating the dabs via drush :

drush updb
 Civicrm  7401  Trigger cache clear to pick up TZ handling change from CRM-6877.
Do you wish to run all pending updates? (y/n): y
Performed update: civicrm_update_7401                                                                                                   [ok]
'all' cache was cleared.                                                                                                                [success]
Finished performing updates.                 

But still : CiviCRM_API3_Exception: DB Error: no such field in civicrm_api3()

ichi - drush updb only updates the drupal database.
To update the civi database, run the command drush cvupdb.

Thanks Coleman
I didn't know. Then I did run the command drush cvupdb.

Before I had the message :
messageCiviCRM_API3_Exception: DB Error: no such field in civicrm_api3() (line 45 of /home/photocontact/public_html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/api/api.php).

Then after some –long– time I had the following feed-back :

Upgrade outputs:

Then : perfect !
The site works and it is powered by CiviCRM 4.7.0.

Thanks so much Coleman.

I seem to be getting the same error upgrading CiviCRM 4.6.20 to 4.7.10, on Drupal 7.50.

[Error: Upgrade DB to 4.7.alpha1: SQL]
Error Field   Error Value
Type   DB_Error
Code   -4
Message   DB Error: not found
Mode   16
UserInfo   ALTER TABLE `civicrm_action_schedule` DROP FOREIGN KEY `FK_civicrm_action_schedule_mapping_id` [nativecode=1091 ** Can't DROP 'FK_civicrm_action_schedule_mapping_id'; check that column/key exists]
DebugInfo   ALTER TABLE `civicrm_action_schedule` DROP FOREIGN KEY `FK_civicrm_action_schedule_mapping_id` [nativecode=1091 ** Can't DROP 'FK_civicrm_action_schedule_mapping_id'; check that column/key exists]

I've tried this several times. My Drupal database updates are all executed. Before running the upgrade, the civicrm_action_schedule table has an INDEX with the name, FK_civicrm_action_schedule_mapping_id. But when I execute SQL to list all foreign key constraints, there are none. I don't know if this makes a difference, but the table is empty. I don't have any rows in civicrm_action_schedule.

What could I be missing here? Thanks!
