Title: Editing Tables
Post by: CypherGary on October 11, 2008, 08:44:27 pm

When a plugin is installed, it creates a table the first time it is ran.
I can remove the plugin, and that will make it so that function no longer works, but the table remains.
I looked around from the Brain Editor, first in standard mode, then in advanced mode. Is there a way to find these tables, and remove them? Is it safe to do this?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

What tables are you talking about?  What plug in are you talking about?

Darcy,

Read his post again as I think he was talking about plug-ins in general.

Unchecking a plug-in does not remove it from the tables in the brain, AFAIK.

Hi CypherGary,
If you look in the plugin script it with a editor like notepad it will tell you the name of the tables the plugin uses then open the brain editor in advance mode and then find the table or tables you wish to delete. To delete them just right click on the table and goto delete table from the menu that appears. It is safe to do this as the plugin will reinstall the tables if it is activated again.

Gary,
I asked this question a while back
The problem is the FK's and PK's and what is connected to the table.

Database knowledge is important  ERD's are handy

Yes, I was referring to plugins in general.
A plugin usually creates a table for itself, so it can store data without a danger of messing something else up.

What I was conserned about was the possibility of some links becoming dead if I remove the table.

After a while, other tables would have to link to it, for it all to work together?
