 * I installed and activated the latest version of the plugin 8.7.5 and it didn’t
   create needed database tables. I’ve checked the db user permissions (they seem
   to be okay. I tried to run SQL queries manually and they succeeded). I also tried
   to check the database logs with [https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/)
   but the only failed request during the plugin activation came from the admin 
   panel menu:
 * > SELECT bk.booking_id
   >  FROM wp_linkopingsklatterklubb_se_booking as bk WHERE
   > bk.is_new = 1 AND bk.trash != 1 + wpbc_get_number_new_bookings() Plugin: booking
   > Table ‘linkopingsklatterklubb_se.wp_linkopingsklatterklubb_se_booking’ doesn’t
   > exist
 * Note that there **was no prior call to the database** with “CREATE TABLE …” meaning
   that the plugin never tried to create the table in the first place.
    Obviously
   when I try to create a booking I’m getting an error “Table ‘linkopingsklatterklubb_se.
   wp_linkopingsklatterklubb_se_booking’ doesn’t exist”.
 * What am I doing wrong? Why the plugin doesn’t create the table automatically 
   as it should?

 * Hello.
    1) Please open the Booking > Settings General page and in Uninstall deactivation
   section set checked this option “Delete booking data, when plugin deactivated”.
 * 2) Then try to deactivate the Booking Calendar plugin at the WordPress > Plugins
   menu, and wait until its show message that plugin successfully deactivated.
 * 3) After this activate the Booking Calendar, plugin and wait for the message 
   that is was successfully activated.
 * If you still will have issue, please recheck your error.log in the server configuration.
   
   Thank you.

 * Hi, thank you for the prompt response. I did these steps many times yesterday
   and they didn’t help. I’ll check error.log (if there is one) and come back here.

 * Checked the log and indeed the issue was caused by not enough rights for the 
   database account (in the admin panel the same account has different rights depending
   on what tool is used). I granted the permissions and the plugin created the tables
   during the activation.
 * Thank you for your help, the issue can be closed.
