The current system is that you have to:

1. Add the table to the relevant install.xml file
2. Add a section to create the table, in the relevant upgrade.php file (unless the install.xml is for a brand new plugin)
3. Update the relevant version.php file

Arguably, steps #1 and #2 are redundant, and if implemented, this would
fix the problem. We also sometimes have bugs where the upgrade.php
section has differences from the install.xml definition of the table,
and this proposal would fix that as well.

So, I think it would be a beneficial change, if it can be done without
too much effort.

Title:
  Mahara should create new tables from install.xml

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Enhancement idea:

  It would be good if creating new tables in Mahara, was simply a matter
  of adding them to the install.xml. If the installer checked
  install.xml and created any new tables listed there, then ran the
  upgrade script, the upgrade script could still do any population of
  the tables required and the developer would only need to describe the
  new table in one place.
