By default Fabrik will alter any element's corresponding database table field to match the data it expects to store.
This definition tends to be on the generous side, e.g. all fields are set to VARCHAR(255).
If you have some experience in creating databases you may not want Fabrik to alter the field definitions you have set up.
To stop Fabrik doing this:
- edit administrator/components/com_fabrik/configuration.php
- change:
$fbConf_alter_existing_db_cols = '1';
to
$fbConf_alter_existing_db_cols = '0';
- save your file
Remember that if you upgrade this change may be reset back to the default (1)
