We may not have that level of permission to check. Also, I would say if we could determine that it's not an empty database, then we should give the user the choice to continue or not. I have installed many an Umbraco site in an existing database to cheap out on having to pay to get a new one set up.. 😉 |

Yeah giving the option sounds like the most ideal scenario, to warn a user that the database is not clean, and to check as a precaution. |

When installing Umbraco 15 into a SQL Server database, Umbraco expects to have a database created already which is fine.
However, there are no additional checks to ensure it is a clean database, if someone isn't careful they could install into an existing database used for other purposes.
I think it would be reasonable for the Umbraco installer to check there are no existing database tables before commencing the installation. This way, it would prevent unexpected failures during the database creation process, and also stop someone accidentally installing into a database that is used for something else.
