Complete new wiki after update.php

I did an update.php (via webrowser /mw-config/ ) referring to my existing sql database.

After update I get a complete new wiki without my created pages from my older wiki.

Is my database overwritten ?

I solved the problem. The tables in my old database start with prefix mwiki_

This is not recognised by update.php so additional tables were added (without prefix mwiki_

I manually renamed all the mwiki_ tables to the name without prefix and now I can update.
