* Merged the 4 simulated implementations of Database*::replace(). I took diffs, they were nearly identical. I made one based on the IBM DB2 version, since it used insert() which looked like a nice touch.
* Provided the non-simulated implementation of Database*::replace() via a protected member function, and made DatabaseMysql::replace() and DatabaseSqlite::replace() into a wrapper for it.
* Moved the MySQL-specific functionality from masterPosWait(), getSlavePos() and getMasterPos() from DatabaseBase to DatabaseMysql.
* Renamed getStatus() to getMysqlStatus() and moved it to DatabaseMysql. Removed "unimplemented" errors from two other subclasses. Really there's no way another DBMS could or should implement this function.
* Split the LoadMonitor class into a no-op class and a MySQL-specific class, to avoid fatal errors due to the getMysqlStatus() call if other DBMSs tried to use LoadBalancer with multiple servers. Of course there are lots of other reasons it won't work, I'm just fixing the architecture issue here.
And while I have a replicated test setup handy:
* On MySQL 4.1.9 and later, use SHOW SLAVE STATUS to get the lag instead of SHOW PROCESSLIST. This has the advantage of reading zero when there are no events for a while.
* Reverted the public -> protected changes from r90429, except for doQuery() after a review of usage:
** resultObject() is used by lots of things in core and extensions.
** makeSelectOptions() is used by SMW, and if that's going to be public, the other two probably should be too, for consistency.
** doQuery() was used by several things, but mostly by mistake. It's been marked private since r21359 which is before almost all of them. I updated the callers to use query().
* Added "protected" to doQuery() declarations in other database classes.
* Made PG throw a DBQueryError when it gets a query error, instead of DBUnexpectedError. Apparently this mistake goes back to r14625, when exceptions were first introduced. Did it by removing reportQueryError(), the DatabaseBase version works fine.
* Fixed several places where there was an attempt to check for a query error by checking if the result of query() was false. This never worked. Used try/catch instead.
* Made the DBConnectionError messages go on one line so that they don't mess up the formatting in the installer.
* In DatabasePostgres::selectDB(), only disconnect and reconnect if the DB name is actually changing.
* Made DatabasePostgres::schemaExists() less weird and scary.
* Added DatabasePostgres::roleExists() for use by the installer.
* Removed the PostgreSQL-specific hack to make _InstallUser have a default other than "root". Made _InstallUser into a proper DBMS-specific internal variable instead, since every DBMS we support so far needs a different default.
* Removed the $dbName parameters from openConnection/getConnection, and got rid of $this->useAdmin. Implemented a more sophisticated caching scheme instead. Partial revert of r89389 and r81440.
* When connecting as the install user before DB creation, and when testing the web user's credentials, try a few different database names and use whichever one works.
* Instead of connecting as the web user to create tables, I used SET ROLE. It seems cleaner and more like what the other DBMSes do during installation. "SET ROLE wikiuser" requires the same privileges as "CREATE SCHEMA ... AUTHORIZATION wikiuser", so it's unlikely to break anything.
* In the area of web account creation, fixed various minor logic errors and introduced more informative error messages at the submit stage, pre-install. Show a helpful error message if the web user exists already and the install user can't do the relevant SET ROLE.
* Split schema creation out to a separate install step.
* When creating an account as a non-superuser, add the administrative account to the new account's group. This is necessary to avoid a fatal error during installation (bug 28845).
* Removed code which alters an existing web user to have appropriate search paths and permissions. This may break other apps and is not necessary. As in other DBMSes, If the web user exists, it is the responsibility of the sysadmin to ensure that it has appropriate permissions.
* Rewrote setupPLpgSQL() to use the query builder functions.
This patch should allow you to use the $wgSharedDB [with Postgres]
normally, as you would with mysql. Basically this patch creates a
second connection with the shared database and when a query is
made, we check on which connection we should send it.
Patch from Luca Fulchir
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?)
* Remove last of $wgDBuser-specific settings like timezone, datestyle and search_path. This is all handled by open() :D
* Only set search_path if the schema exists (rather than just set to some random string), fall back to 'public' otherwise
* Only call setupUser() if we need to _CreateDBAccount, otherwise it returns immediately and confuses you (no functional change)
* Implement selectDB() for Postgres, basically call open() with a new DB name
* Try to fix setupDatabase() for this "user must be owner of relation" error I'm getting when the $wgDBuser exists (have tried with roles granted && no roles granted). I get no errors at all when
* Drop unused and likely broken /*$var*/` -> `$var syntax
* Replace {$var} with '{$var}' and `{$var}` handling that uses relevant database independent quoting ({$var} without surrouding quotes are never used)
* Give the generic/mysql class a proper quote_ident implementation
* Fix the unused Oracle and Sqlite quote_ident implementations which are potential sql injections if used
* Split common variable replacemnt code off to a replaceGlobalVars and make the generic and oracle code use it instead of duplicating the same code as each other
* 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
* Move setup_database() from DatabasePostgres to PostgresInstaller
** Add install step after interwiki for the COMMIT
** Put the table creation test (should we abstract this?) in setupDatabase()
** The leftover stuff in initial_setup() also belongs in setupDatabase(), I think?
