[opencms-dev] create table on module import

[Paul-Inge Flakstad]

Hi again Thomas,

Actually, the method description for the mentioned initialize(...) method reads:
(...) if the module requires special DB tables to be created, you should implement a check if theses tables exist in this method, and if they don't exist create them as needed.

So I guess there isn't a better way. ;-)

Best regards,
Paul
