Not sure how this happened but i installed the g3 beta and imported my photos and everything went perfect.
I noticed the command prompts for 'php index.php ...' and tried them, and they wiped out all my tables.
I used the same db and user but with different table prefixes and now i checked my db and it only has one table. So basically the test wiped out both my g2 tables along with my new imported g3 tables.
I can restore from a backup but wanted to see if this was a bug or a prob on my end.
I have g3 beta 1 installed with no problems start, I cannot access any of the diag stats in my previous g2 gal which now gives me a 500 error which I am assuming to be from the tables wiped out. I can post my phpinfo if u need tho it has not changed since the last 3 branches.
Does php index.php package in the gallery3 dir whipe the db?
Thanks for your help.

Doh. Yes, "php index.php package" does wipe out your database. It's intended to be a developer-only option, not intended to be used by end users. I've created a ticket for this issue http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/ticket/425 and put up a much sterner warning in the latest code. Sorry for your troubles!
