Hi Austin
The install hook won't run when you enable the module if you've already enabled it once before.
There is an uninstall tab on the modules page - use that and uninstall your module then reenable it - or use drush to uninstall it (note uninstall does not equal disable).

Hi Lee

Steps followed as below.

1. Wrote the custom module without install file.
2. Enabled the module.
3. After the front end (form) was finalized, I wrote .install file.
4. Disabled module.
5. Cleared cache
6. Enabled module.

So with this, I see the database issue.

-------------------------

Coming back to devel module usage, I will check it and revert back.

Thanks
Austin

Hi Austin
hook_install only runs once, when the module is first enabled - is it possible that you enabled it and then added the install hooks?
If so, it would be worth uninstalling the module and reinstalling it. (Uninstalling is not disabling it).
Devel module provides a nice utility to let you easily uninstall and reinstall a module to aid with debugging your install files.
