mtlanius theme issue - Site move from development to production server

Question

Site move error:

1) We moved the entire site (zip format) and extracted on server.

2) Created the database instance

3) Updated the database urls in config table and local.xml updated with new details.

When I check in browser, it executes site correctly but templates settings and sliders images tables are deleted and recreated with default entries, because "sql" folder has commands like :

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS {$this->getTable('mtslideshow_slide')};
CREATE TABLE {$this->getTable('mtslideshow_slide')}

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS {$this->getTable('mtslideshow_category')};
CREATE TABLE {$this->getTable('mtslideshow_category')}

Same for some content pages also footer etc are roll backed to default.

How to deal with this issue? Here I'm facing this issue: http://demo.aarnasystems.net/magento/lacxodemo/index.php/ Logo slider, Amasty filter settings, footer design changes are rolled back.

Please let me know, how to avoid to reinitializing the modules on database connection.

Thanks, Kiran

But you did copy the entire database to a new server? Because if in core_resource table there would be entry for mtslideshow extension with the same version that it had on the last server, then sql shouldn't be run again.
