We planned to do a re-installation of RT (same version). The second installation of RT is being configured for the same database, user name and password as the first one. We didn’t drop the database of the previous RT since we needed some already existing data. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#000080" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Does make initialize-database create the tables in the database? We intend to use the same tables of the previously installed RT. Can this be done? What does the make initialize-database command actually do?</FONT></SPAN></P>
