 * Hey
 * So updated to the new 1.9 version today, from 1.7 I think, and a lot of data 
   has gone missing and tables are missing columns which I assume where added in
   1.8 – the rain, SC stuff and so on.
 * Is there some db-install script missing or did I miss something?
    There was no
   note that something should be done before upgrading…

 * Okay, this got solved.
 * If any of you run in to this problem when updating just deactivate the plugin
   and then activate it again.
 * Seems like it runs the table-installer when you activate it, no data was lost(
   but do a backup of the tables just in case)!

 * Glad it’s sorted.
 * When WordPress upgrades a plugin, it is meant to deactivate, update the files,
   then re-activate, but often it fails to perform the deactivate/reactivate.
 * This seems to happen more often with a bulk update.
 * See [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/17833](http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/17833)
 * As you guessed, deactivating/reactivating adds the new database columns and sorts
   the issue out.
