Field List

[RodG]

I have not deleted the "new" files because all references to them should have been deleted when I ran the uninstal sql file; no?

No. not so. The uninstal.sql scripts only revert changes made to the database. It doesn't touch any 'new' files. The 'new' files need to be deleted manually. Leaving them in place could *cause* errors if they happen to be 1) automatically loaded by Zen-Cart, and 2) if they contain references to the tables/records that were removed when running the uninstall scripts.

For future reference, other can keeping the database 'tidy' there is never a need to undo/uninstall any changes made to the database by an install script. These changes, on their own, will *never cause or create a problem. The problem(s) only occur if you uninstall the SQL changes but neglect to take care of the related files.

*never means except in extreme cases where code has been *very poorly* written and expects table records to have an explicit field count in a specific order (and no one has written code like that for years)
