What do you mean when you say "we does not support upgrades from alpha/beta versions?

If you want to test 2.8 Alpha with your database, you can copy your database on different server and run it with different TrackStudio instance. But you should not add real data to 2.8 Alpha instance, because when we release it - we provide only scripts to update from 2.7.x to 2.8, not from 2.8 Alpha to 2.8
This is because we test 2.8 under very few DBMSs and if we find some problems with other DBMSs (unsupported field name, for example) - we can change 2.8 database structure without additional notice, we also need not write (and, mor important, test) scripts to upgrade from 2.8 Alpha to 2.8.
