Why is anything about wp databased into ones own pc?

Perhaps its more to do with “big brother” in case you upset somebody without worth. The true bad boys have sandboxed pc’s anyway.

Besides, it can be removed with a piddly bit of script without fear or hassle, no problem.

[...] Jeff nos hace notar, sin embargo, que al desactivar un plugin no se deshacen esos cambios, simplemente se dejan de utilizar; de la misma forma cuando uno borra los archivos.

Would there be a way for a plugin author to build a plugin that would check to see if each of the database tables are in use by either WordPress or the Active Plugins? This new plugin could then present a screen that would show you ALL of the tables that it believed are no longer in use you could check off each of the ones you want to remove and it would basically clean-up the database.

I’m not sure if there is a way to do this short of reading through each of the plugins source to determine if it tries to do any SQL.

Just a thought..

I’ve created a sample plugin that adds an uninstall option to plugins that have a pluginfile_uninstaller.php file. This is just to give an example of some of the ideas in this thread.

My plugin already has this included since it has been released to the public. It will kick of all data from the DB when the user selects it with the button below, afterwards the user can select if he wants to deactivate the plugin or start again with default values (button at the bottom): http://wp-simpleviewer.fuggi82.....nspage.jpg

I knew this reminded me of something, and I’ve just remembered what.
Firefox extensions have s disable button and a (sometimes grayed-out) uninstall button - and I’m pretty sure that nobody confuses the two.
(This comment is all about GUI, of course - I’m not suggesting that firefox extensions and Wordpress plugins have much in common!)

Yes, for a developer to casually hand the general public direct access to MySQL database structures is (too) worrisome. I have wondered myself, whether text-file (CSV) data might be alright for some kinds of plugins. Certainly, I have seen facilities calling in the Battleship MySQL to swat flies. Some applications, which generate lots of data, and/or heavily process it … that’s what MySQL is for, sure. But I am not knowledgeable enough to say whether local (in it’s own plugin directory) text-files make sense for lightweight plugin-data needs (or if it is already widespread!). It has long been done elsewhere though, and MySQL is often overkill.
