   Quite a simple problem really:

   function create_links_table(){
   	//Create link table
   	global $wpdb;
   	$table_name = $wpdb->prefix . "fim_links";
   	if($wpdb->get_var("SHOW TABLES LIKE '$table_name'") != $table_name) {
   		$sql = "CREATE TABLE " . $table_name . " (
   		order mediumint(9) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
   		href text DEFAULT '#' NOT NULL,
   		id text DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
   		block mediumint(9) DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL,
   		PRIMARY KEY  (order)
   		);";
   		require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php');
   		echo "DBINFO:";
   		$result = dbDelta($sql);
   		var_dump($result);
   		$sql = "INSERT INTO " . $table_name .
               " (href, id) " .
               "VALUES ('http://crytekuk.info','link_example')";
   		$wpdb->query($sql);
   	}
   }

   I'm surprised, thought this would be a simple problem to experienced people.

   I suppose I'll have to analyse wordpress myself and try to figure it out.

   Alternatively I could try not using dbdelta but that is the proper way, apparently.

   Your doing a variable dump on dbDelta,did you find what I did and it returns a value that states the table was created even when it is not?

   I just wrote a script that uses standard query function to attempt to create the table and then I also run the same query using dbDelta in the event that table was already created then an update with any changes to the table should occur.
