Modifying database = potential upgrade problems later?

[Erwin]

A few points to remember:

1) 99% of hacks for vB2 will not work for vB3 - different way of coding, different names for variables.

2) Most of the time, additional tables or columns in the db will not matter, unless vB3 uses the SAME name - then there will be conflict.

3) When you upgrade vB2 to vB3, new tables and columns will be used - like I said in (2), unless they have the same name, having those extra tables or columns won't make a difference. Since the hacks won't work straight off, you either redo tha hacks, or remove the unwanted tables or columns.
