Under MySQL, new tables will be created as InnoDB with UTF-8 (utf8/utf8_bin) same as core tables.
Existing plugin tables will have table engine and default charset/collation updated, and string columns will have charset updated, at checkschema time.
Switched from 'DESCRIBE' to INFORMATION_SCHEMA for pulling column information in order to get charset. A second hit to INFORMATION_SCHEMA is also needed to get table properties.
Indices were only being created at table creation time, which ain't so hot. Now also adding/dropping indices when they change.
Fixed up some schema defs in OStatus plugin that were a bit flaky, causing extra alter tables to be run.
TODO: Generalize this infrastructure a bit more up to base schema & pg schema classes.
With $config['db']['schemacheck'] set to 'script' in live deployment, Schema class wasn't being preloaded for us; the uses of TableDef by plugins for DataObject configuration would then fail because the class wasn't loaded. Broken to separate files, the autoloader can find all classes in either case.
PHP Fatal error: Class 'TableDef' not found in /var/www/statusnet/plugins/OpenID/User_openid.php on line 43, referer: http://identi.ca/brionv/all
