In you Bootstrap.php file:

use Elgg\DefaultPluginBootstrap;

class Bootstrap extends DefaultPluginBootstrap {

  public function activate() {
    $path = "path/to/your/db/script.sql";
    _elgg_services()->db->runSqlScript($path);
  }

}

The SQL file will be called on each plugin activation.

Thanks a lot.

please keep in mind "_elgg_services()" is an internal function and changes can be made without the need for backwards compatibility.

Why do you need to run a SQL script? Can't it be solved with the existing methods like an async upgrade?

Hi @Jerome,

I am using a plugin that is not compatible with elgg-3.3.x

The plugin requires two additional tables. that's why I am asking for run_sql_script() equivalent in elgg 3.3.x.

So I just need to run a sql script that will create two database tables.

Regards,
