If i install any plugins in my discourse, will the Database columns get updated? I don’t find any answered/resolved column in the topics table. If I want to mark a Topic as answered I need to install a plugin.

That feature is supplied by the Discourse Solved plugin. It stores data in a few places, like the topic_custom_field, post_custom_field and user_actions tables (and likely others).

Can you give a use case? Your request is too vague.

Hi @Heliosurge I tried to upload an .png image explain my situation, but i can’t upload it. I’ll try to explain it. In each Topics conversation you can see an option to mark a post as “Solution”, this is not a default feature of Discourse it seems. Need to install an plugin to enable it. My Question is, I didn’t saw any Database column related to mark a post as Solution. Any new table will be created in DB, if I add a plugin?

Where is Solved data stored in the database?

It depends on the plugin.

Some plugins change the schema and add tables, others might use “Custom Fields” to persist data.
