Problem With Install: Database Error (MW ver1.19)

Using the most recent version of this extension (ver1.1911061) an apparent error has been identified.

As per install instruction; the following error message continues to persist:


Database error A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

   (SQL query hidden)

from within function "ContestDBObject::rawSelect". Database returned error "1146: Table 'sup12139xxxx____.mw_contests' doesn't exist (sup12139xxxx____.db.xxxxxxx.hostedresource.com)".


Accordingly; there is a problem with the distribution. One suggested solution is to change the function "ContestDBObject::rawSelect", as was mentioned somewhere on one of the extension's description pages. The updated function can not be located. Solutions for this issue would be appreciated.

You need to run update.php after including the extension in LocalSettings.
