IUpgradeable and installer process ordering Started By johnhenley Seeing forum messages recently about installer and module install order reminded me that I wanted to post a topic and see if anyone has any insight or suggestions. In packaging for the Forums module, I've become intimately familiar with the DNN installer code since we've had some install challenges to maintain backward compatibilty and upgradeability from older versions.

Developing a new module that uses a different SQL schema to dbo Started By Alon Hi, I have a DNN installation that uses the default databaseowner (dbo). I would like to develop a module that has tables in the default database, but uses a different schema (fees) so that I can easily distinguish which tables are related to my module vs the other DNN modules. I don't want to use prefixes - I prefer to use a completely different schema. I also don't want to use a different database as I want to keep the DNN data and my module data inthe same database (for backup and a...	8	1119	1	1/19/2024 8:35 AM by Alon
