Hello,

 I have recently been working on a DotNetNuke module, more specific, implementing the Google geochart (https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/geochart) as a simple to use module. I utilize the SQL-database. 

However, after I released it for the website I'm working on, filled the database and set everything up, I made some changes to the module. I was trying to create an upgrade package, instead of a source and an install package, as I don't want to empty the whole database on updating, that would be wasted work!

Is there a way you can disable the execution of the SQL-code? Or do I have to manually remove this code? I have followed Chris Hammond's tutorial (So I use MSBuild packaging). Your support please! :-)

 Thanks for reading,

Tom

I might have found a solution, but still not completely what I wanted. Chris uses in his sql:

If exists (table)
Drop table
Create table

But the book module programming (Mitchel Sellers) uses

If not exists (table)
Create table

This method only works when you make no changes to the table structure, but I guess you wouldn't want to keep the data in that case. Does this sound like a solution you would apply?

I think the same package is implicitly used for both install and upgrade.

I don't know the exact details, but I think the idea is that you bump your version number and supply an SQL script that turns the DB from V-1 to V.

When the module is installed the system looks at the V already installed, the V being installed, and applies the scripts that move from one to the other.

I think it's been like this forever.
Best wishes,

In fact, if you only upgrade the version number of your install package, it's really a upgrade package. It won;t re-run the sql-script of last version. If you want to do some changes of the database, just write another change-script and up its verion number (like 01.00.01.SqlDataProvider).
