Do I need to upgrade my database if I patched up to 2.0.17 from 2.0.15

Existing ver: 2.0.15- ran patch to 2.0.16- then ran patch for 2.0.17

Now forum is working fine as 2.0.17

However one of the mods I'm trying to install threw an error and said my forum database is ver 2.0.15 while the forum is 2.0.17. Here's the actual error message.

"Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum's files are currently at version SMF 2.0.17, while your database is at version 2.0.15. The above error might possibly go away if you execute the latest version of upgrade.php."

I don't recall if either of the patches updated the database. Do I just run ver 2.0.17 upgrade.php to get the database synced up to 2.0.17 - is there a need for this? Or should I just ignore this error?

You can ignore it as there are no db changes between those 2 versions.

That's what I thought so. Thanks for the quick confirmation Doug.
