Anope 1.8 has a different database structure than the Anope 1.7.23< branche has. Click. So if you're upgrading from anything lower than 1.7.23 straight to Anope 1.8, you probably missed the conversion.

I actually just updated to 1.8.0 from 1.7.21 and I didn't have any problems AND I'm using the databases which were also used in .21. So my theory isn't the problem. I'm sorry.

Have you edited one of the db's manually? Or the services 'startup script' itself?
