Plugin uninstall: why run dbDelta after $wpdb->query($drop_sql)

This is indeed bizarre. I think they first tried it with dbDelta, found it doesn’t work with DROP queries, and went with a straight $wpdb query instead. They then just forgot to take out the dbDelta stuff. It appears dbDelta collects creation queries in $cqueries and insert queries in $iqueries, but silently ignores the rest. What a lovely function…

To be sure, you could ask this question on the book forum, hopefully the authors hang around there. Don’t forget to mention you first asked it here, so we get some publicity!
