Quoting "Neil: esl-lounge.com" neil@esl-lounge.com:
I will do some testing too on a test site. I began this thread because I'd read in the upgrade.txt in 5.8 that "officially", you should disactivated all contributed modules before upgrading and I raised an eyebrow, remembering I'd had some issues with CCK by disactivating it and having content_type_X tables disappear.
It is possible I'm remembering badly but I've heard CCK mentioned by others in this thread and seeing as it's almost a core module in itself, it's vital we track this problem down, should it exist.
Especially since CCK fields are moving to core for D7[1]. Thanks Neil, it would be good to know where this bad behavior exists.
