** Moved the responsibility for calling setupSchemaVars() on install to the DatabaseInstaller subclass. This allows it to be called after setupDatabase() has completed, as required by Oracle and PostgreSQL.
** Fixed OracleInstaller::getConnection() so that it respects $this->useSysDBA correctly.
** In OracleInstaller, added some more variables to the list of schema vars, which are needed by user.sql and tables.sql
** In SearchOracle, specify the database name when calling ctx_ddl.sync_index(). This fixes a fatal error in the createMainpage step, caused by the schema name not being equal to the current user.
* In oracle/tables.sql, fixed a couple of indexes with missing table prefixes.
* Improved debugging output in DatabaseInstaller::getConnection() and Installer::createMainpage().
* In DatabaseBase::selectDB(), set $this->mDBname correctly, as in DatabaseMysql.
* 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.
* 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
* 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.
