 * I’ve just read the [http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_Tables_with_Plugins](http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_Tables_with_Plugins)
   and although it seem pretty straight forward, I was wondering if it will work
   the same for theme development?
 * I’m also worried about using register_activation_hook() since it says in the 
   codex that
 * > This hook is now fired only when the user activates the plugin and not when
   > an automatic plugin update occurs
 * I can’t seem to find any articles online that creates database tables with themes
   though. Is it even possible to create database tables with themes?
