Does every custom field has a mandatory "_" as a first carachter, or am I doing something wrong?

the _ hides the field if I remember correctly

@ruda.almeida nope, not at all. arbitrary names. if I remember right underscore will hide from interface

@Rarst And the custom field's name in the DB is the same name I should use on, say, meta_query()? Because I have a _event_end_date field in the wp_postmeta table and I was trying to reference it without the underscore in meta_query(), but it only works with the underscore.

you should use name exactly as it is created

@ruda.almeida The underscore is just there to keep the field out of the default Custom Fields metabox.

WP_Upgrader and its child classes are … an interesting start.
