Creating user tables in the CMS database |
|
|
For my CMS application, I need to create a few tables in
the database. From the convenience point of view, I'm
thinking of creating those tables in the CMS database.
What is the argument for NOT using the CMS database?
Thanks.

Hi Dilip,
The general rule is:- DON'T EVER TOUCH THE MCMS DATABASE! :)
I say this for a few reasons:-
- If you touch the database (alter it or query it directly) your solution
will not be supported by Microsoft.
- I have heard (never seen) that some product's service packs will detect
objects that are not meant to be in database and remove them
I suggest you create another SQL Database and store your new tables.
Regards
