This plugin is designed to help users of plugins that require them to create new tables in the database.
Some plugins need to create additional tables in the Textpattern database. Some of them (like this one) care to create and remove their own tables, however, some plugins give the user one or more text files with the commands required for MySQL to create the tables needed.
In these cases, the user is forced to use the mysql
command line or the phpmyadmin tool in order to create the tables.
This plugin, although somehow still raw, is (hopefully) a simpler way to create tables for this kind of plugin.
