Problems with virtuemart_customs table during migration

[akerd]

I have some problem with virtuemart_customs table that seems it has not been udpated correctly during the migration from VM2 to VM3.
In noticed that because I receive a lot of errors similar to the following in the frontend

vmError: getCustomEmbeddedProductCustomFields error in query Unknown column 'c.is_input' in 'field list' SQL=SELECT c.`virtuemart_custom_id`, c.`custom_parent_id`, c.`virtuemart_vendor_id`, c.`custom_jplugin_id`, c.`custom_element`, c.`admin_only`, c.`custom_title`, c.`show_title` , c.`custom_tip`, c.`custom_value`, c.`custom_desc`, c.`field_type`, c.`is_list`, c.`is_hidden`, c.`is_cart_attribute`, c.`is_input`, c.`layout_pos`, c.`custom_params`, c.`shared`, c.`published`, c.`ordering`, field.`virtuemart_customfield_id`, field.`virtuemart_product_id`, field.`customfield_value`, field.`customfield_price`, field.`customfield_params`, field.`published` as fpublished, field.`override`, field.`disabler`, field.`ordering` FROM `DianaGoroup_virtuemart_customs` AS c LEFT JOIN `DianaGoroup_virtuemart_product_customfields` AS field ON c.`virtuemart_custom_id` = field.`virtuemart_custom_id` WHERE `virtuemart_product_id` IN (848) AND c.`published` = "1" ORDER BY field.`ordering`,`virtuemart_custom_id` ASC

So I decided to install a fresh J2.5 + VM3 installation by downloading the package from your site and in fact comparing the two tables structures they are different.
First big is difference is that the is_input column is missing in mine and  there are minor differences on other columns too.

I performed the update process from beginning at least 3 times but I always reach the same point.
Do you have some suggestions for me? Thank you in advance.

For database errors, under Tools use the "Install or if necessary update tables " function.

but the error about missing is_input column in table xxx_virtuemart_customs is still there.

Let me know if I should enable some debug settings to better undestand the problem or if you have other suggestions.

Could it be that I missed some upgrade steps before moving from VM2 to VM3?

I did a search on virtuemart_customs alteration introduced in VM3 code and the only I found was

         $this->alterTable('#__virtuemart_customs',array(
            'custom_field_desc' => '`custom_desc` char(255) COMMENT \'description or unit\'',
         ));

no references on column 'is_input' and others columns

I found the problem. It was related to a bad character casing on tables prefix.

you found the problem but did not share what you actually did to fix it?

As happens so often I'm afraid ... 

did you->

as I said in my case the problem was related to a bad character casing on tables prefix in Joomla configuration.php
