Creating a Mod with new tables/database fields
 

I know PHP/MySQL.
I am using VB 3.7.2
I have installed mods.
I have been looking through the code of some of the mods and made some minor changes to them.

I've read https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=98009 and https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=62164
but there's no explaination of where the installation code is.

I want to write a custom mod for my forums.
I notice there's an xml file that's used to install the mods.
How do I create the install file?

Let's say my mod requires me to create/edit tables on the database.
Where do I put the SQL code? Do I write it on the XML install file manually?
Or is there a way to write the install code in PHP then export it using the Manage Products page? :confused:

When I have created products for my site, I have added the queries manually. I think there is a modification which will take care of that for you though.

edit: I think this is the mod I was thinking of (I don't use it, so I can't say much about it) - [APM] Advanced Product Management 3.0.4
