The
popular phpBB and SMF web applications are PHP and MySQL (MSSQL with
Windows-based plans) based forums. These forums use the MySQL/MSSQL
database to store the forum related information (Users, Categories,
Posts, etc.). The installation scripts of phpBB and SMF create
the necessary database tables automatically. The installed
tables do not interfere with any MySQL/MSSQL database content
that you might already have.
Important:
Do not delete the phpBB or SMF related database tables as your Forum
may stop working properly. All phpBB related tables start with
“phpBB_”. The SMF tables have the "smf_" prefix.
