Understood and I agree. I would accept the possibility to do the most
stupid coding error in the world, but there is simply no statement
manipulating with the schema in the whole project. To be sure, I
searched thru the sources for /drop/i and didn't found anywhere but the
pear framework of PHP (some constants and test patterns of user
statements)... OK, I agree this can be run by some coincidence and so I
have started to log all statements in the logfile... but still I doubt
executing the drop statement is the problem...
