Will adding a new table in the database break the system?

Submitted by thepricesite on Mon, 2007-08-13 14:02 in

I'm looking at adding a new table into the MySQL database on my system. Our hosting is shared so i only have access to one database.

If i add a new table will this affect the Price Tapestry install? I'm looking at 'bolting' on another app but obviously don't want to bring down my site in doing so!

Hi Mike,

Shouldn't be a problem. It's good practice to use a common table name prefix if you're mixing applications in the same database - which is why Price Tapestry has the $config_databaseTablePrefix setting. Even if you've not used a prefix it won't cause any problems, it just makes life easier when administering your database.

Cheers,
David.
