 Project:      Documentation
 Version:      <none>

 Category:     tasks

 Status:       patch (code needs review)

My only concern is site admins dealing with complex multisite setups,
where multiple database prefixes are involved. This documentation needs
to include a comment to such people, that if they want the tables
created by hook_install() to use a prefix other than the default one,
they must specify this in the relevant settings.php file *before*
enabling the new module.


Perhaps we should also recommend that module developers list all tables
in their module's installation instructions, along with instructions for
custom prefixing.

the mysql is missing the {} and I'm not so sure about the heredoc
strings, we don't really use those anywhere now.
