We are planning on upgrading Bitbucket from v4.11.2 to v5.14. Is it safe to just take the back up of current database or are there any database schema updates?

Hi Srilatha
Glad to know that you are planning for an upgrade. Please note 4.11.2 to 5.+ is major version upgrade there are many DB changes and other architecture changes. Please see Upgrade guide for detailed instructions
To upgrade to Bitbucket Server 5+, you must migrate customizations to bitbucket.properties
Be sure to carefully read the Bitbucket Server upgrade guide to determine what impact this change may have on your instance. The page Migrate server.xml customizations to bitbucket.properties has specifics on which properties need to be migrated, how to migrate them, and includes some examples that demonstrate how to migrate some common customizations.
We always recommend taking a backup of your database and home directory before the upgrade. Also, please create a staging instance as close as to your production and try an upgrade there first. You can find some instruction in this article
Best regards, Prasanth Thaikkalloor
