It is now duplicateTableStructure() duty to addIdentifierQuotes() them.
Fixed bug for mysql < 4.1 where the new name would be quoted twice.
Always quote identifier in Oracle, doing otherwise seems a bug (can someone confirm?)
This fixes bug in DatabaseOracle.php tableName() on line 671 and allows it to call
the parent implementation instead of copying it with different quotes.
Adapt Mssql addIdentifierQuotes(). Replace its addIdentifierQuotes calls with addQuotes
as it's what it really is. The serialize() is probably unneeded, since I don't think it will
ever be called with objects but I kept it anyway.
* Fixed a bug causing the engine and charset settings to not be properly preserved when adding new tables on upgrade.
* Fixed total breakage of SQLite upgrade, by reusing the administrative connection to the SQLite database instead of creating a new one when wfGetDB() is called. Added LBFactory_Single to support this.
* Introduced a "schema variable" concept to DatabaseBase to avoid the use of globals for communication between the installer and the Database. Removed a lot of old global variable names from Database::replaceVars(), most were only added on a whim and were never used.
* Introduced DatabaseInstaller::getSchemaVars(), to allow schema variables to be supplied by the DatabaseInstaller child classes.
* Removed messages config-mysql-egine-mismatch [sic] and config-mysql-charset-mismatch. In the old installer it was possible for users to request a certain character set for an upgrade, but in the new installer the question is never asked. So these warnings were shown whenever a non-default character set or engine was used in the old database.
* In MysqlInstaller::preUpgrade(), fixed the incorrect strings used to identify the MySQL character sets: mysql5 instead of utf8 and mysql5-binary instead of binary.
* On install, initialise the site_stats table, using code copied from the old installer. Unlike the old installer, use SiteStats to increment the user count when the initial user is added.
* Fixed several instances of inappropriate call-by-reference.
* Replaced call_user_func_array() with call_user_func() where possible, it is shorter and simpler.
* Moved the caching boilerplate for DatabaseInstaller::getConnection() to the base class, and have the derived classes override an uncached function openConnection() instead. Updates r80892.
* In MysqlInstaller::getLocalSettings(), escape PHP strings correctly with LocalSettingsGenerator::escapePhpString().
* Reduce timeout for checks in dirIsExecutable() to 3 seconds, so that it doesn't take 30s to run when apache is in single-threaded mode for debugging.
* MySQL and SQLite have been tested and they appear to work. PostgreSQL upgrade is totally broken, apparently it was like that before I started. The Oracle code is untested.
-Add a working PHPUnit test that instantiates a new DB, adds set data, and deleted when done.
-Add listTables() to the Database classes (only MySql and SQLite use it, and only MySQL is tested)
* Made them all implement one common interface (might add more functions to it later)
* Moved MySQLField to DatabaseMysql.php
* Renamed nullable() to isNullable()
* Removed maxLength() from:
** SQLiteField: makes no sense
** MySQLField: doesn't do what people may think, useless for this class' purpose of assisting querying the DB schema
* Fixed fieldInfo() on Postgres not using tableName() and thus failing for table user, for example.
* Made fieldInfo() on MySQL return false instead of throwing a query error if table does not exist. This is consistent with other databases' behaviour.
* default is disabling all modes ('')
* null disables the SET operation (we will use this at WMF deployment)
* String override can be used as configuration parameter
* In SqlBagOStuff, ignore errors due to a read-only database, per my comments on CR r42796. Same for LocalisationCache.
* Merged SqlBagOStuff and MediaWikiBagOStuff, that proved to be an awkward and unnecessary generalisation. Use the standard quoting wrapper functions instead of $db->query().
* Implemented atomic incr() and decr() functions for SqlBagOStuff.
* Made incr() and decr() generally work roughly the same as it does in memcached, respecting negative steps instead of ignoring such operations. This allows decr() to be implemented in terms of incr().
* Per bug 11533, in MessageCache.php, don't retry 20 times on a cache failure, that's really memcached-specific and won't be useful for other cache types. It's not really very useful for memcached either.
* Moved MySQL-specific implementations of wasDeadlock() and wasErrorReissuable() to DatabaseMysql.
* Briefly tested page views with $wgReadOnly=read_only=1, fixed an error from Article::viewUpdates(). A CentralAuth fix will be in a subsequent commit.
Also make it abstract in DatabaseBase so all subclasses have to implement some human readable name
(also make getSoftwareLink abstract for the same reason) Every current Database class already implements both.
