Question for Boonex Admins/Devs

Dear Boonex (haha.. sorry had to do it),

I would like to know if you could provide us with some detailed information regarding the changes in the database scheme in D7. It would really help alot of us out who have mods to refer to such a document. Let me give you an example:

The GIParams table is no longer used in D7, but was utilized ALOT in D6. So with that being said, can you tell use what tables are used now that are no longer used in D6?

Like this:

Old Table New Table
Profiles Profiles

Admin sys_admin_dashboard (just an example)

GIParams ??????????

localization_keys sys_localization_keys

and so on...

If we had some tyope of reference guide like this, we could possible take some of the mods we currently have with us that are no longer available, or the developer stopped or will not make a newer version.

Am I asking too much? Actually if anyone can help, that would be great.

Sincerely,

Chris

I took all the table names from a 6.1.4 dolphin system and did a quick recursive grep on the last D7 beta source code and redirected the output to a file of the same name but with an extension of .ph1. All the files of zero size indicate that the 6.1.4 table is definately not used in D7. However this logic is some what flawed in that the text being searched for could be, in part, common to part of another table name or even other non-table text. For instance 6.1.4 table profile_rating is no longer see more

Thanks cbassthefish for the asisstance. Can anyone else add to this? If an Admin or Developer can not provide this information right now, is there another expert who can give the database differences and what table names have change to?

You can refer to data_migration module to find table association for modules, and for common system tables:
GlParam* => sys_options*
MemLevels* => sys_acl*

Other system tables were changed the following way:
- sys_ prefix was added
- translated to underscore notation
for example:
TopMenu => sys_menu_top
