 * I upgraded my install on a development system and now I get this:
 * WordPress database error: [Table ‘wordpress.wp_terms’ doesn’t exist]
    SELECT 
   t.*, tt.*, tr.object_id FROM wp_terms AS t INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy AS tt 
   ON tt.term_id = t.term_id INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships AS tr ON tr.term_taxonomy_id
   = tt.term_taxonomy_id WHERE tt.taxonomy IN (‘category’, ‘post_tag’) AND tr.object_id
   IN (8, 5, 4) ORDER BY t.name ASC
 * It seems that none of the terms tables got created. I did not see any errors 
   during the upgrade. Any ideas what went wrong?

 * I may have had some plugins enabled when I upgraded. Dang confirmation dialog:).
   After “downgrading” my db version and performing an upgrade again, things seem
   to be happier.
