Saving form data to and existing MySQL table

Post by trevorm »

Hi

Please can anyone advise me that if a Mysql table and associated fields already exist, a Web Builder form will save to that existing table and fields without damaging existing data? The help file says it will create the table and fields and goes on to say there is no need to create the table and fields before hand.

Thanks

The built-in script will add a new record to the database, it will not overwrite existing data.
But, as always I do recommend to make a backup first.
