    Hi,
    I am using wordpress 4.0. I have added some extra fields in the default tables like wp_users, posts etc for my use. I just want to know that if DB upgradation OR WP upgradation done to newer version in future whether the fields i created in tables stays or will get deleted after that?

    Please suggest on this point.
    Thank You.

    Any database changes are done on the WordPress tables only. Any extra tables that you add in won’t be affected at all. You’d need to make any changes manually.

    Database tables created by you won’t be affected due to upgrading. Upgrading of WP doesn’t have anything to do with database tables.

    Upgrading of WP doesn’t have anything to do with database tables.

    That’s not 100% true.

    Under most circumstances the standard WordPress DB tables aren’t changed, but there is always the chance that they might be in the future if or when the need shows up. I’ll bet the database structure looks a bit different in V. 4 then it did in V. 1. 😉
