[wp-hackers] Plugins installing db tables automatically

[Jalenack]

Thanks Denis,

Nice code. Very easy to understand. But doesn't it weaken performance 
slightly, by checking the table version number every time the site loads? Or 
is it too insignificant? The way I've done it, it only checks if there's 
been a plugin activation. Your way is definitely cleaner.

Thanks again,

Andrew

P.S. Dave - Yes, it drives me crazy as well when plugin authors use wp_ 
without a second thought. At the Codex, we try to teach them better than 
that :-)
