Hi,
Probably a simple problem but I don't find solution on d.o.
I have a D6 contrib module that did not use database before, but now it does. The problem is that even though a .install file has been added, the database is not created in case the older version of the module is enabled already, not even after running /update.php.
http://drupal.org/node/323314 explains that ".install file is run the first time a module is enabled" -- but how to make sure the initial database is installed on an existing module? Is the only solution to solve it via hook_update_N, detecting whether the table exists, and installing it -- even though in fact we are installing, not updating?
AFAIK this case has to be handled by update functions in your .install file. Regards Jan
