    Default Database upgrades with custom tables added

    Hey everyone,

    Basically I would like to add a few custom tables for something i'm developing, but do not want the addition of those tables to cause database upgrade failure down the road. Will the added tables carry over to the upgraded database? etc...

    I failed in trying to find an answer for this - is there something i missed?

    Thanks so much for your help!

    The upgrader will ignore the additional custom tables.

    Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

    So, to clarify: After upgrading, additional custom tables will still remain in the database, untouched. Correct?

    Yes. I have mods like User Tracking, Search Log, etc that create custom tables and I've upgraded from 1.3.5 - 1.3.6 - 1.3.7 - 1.3.8 and the updater didn't touch those tables.
