On PostgreSQL:
- Parse defaults for strings and booleans properly.
- Parse the "serial" definition type properly.
- Get information on the "enum" definition type.
- Re-work getting information about keys/indices.
On MariaDB:
- Get information about lengths in indices.
- Get foreign key information separately from the rest as they can have
colliding names.
This adds a requirement for all definitions that have foreign keys to also
require indices for all source (local) attributes mentioned in foreign keys.
MariaDB/MySQL creates indices for source attributes automatically, so this
serves as a way to get rid of those automatic indices and create clean explicit
ones instead.
In PostgreSQL, most of the time, indices on the source are necessary to
decrease performance penalty of foreign keys (like in MariaDB), but they aren't
created automatically, so this serves to remove that difference between
PostgreSQL and MariaDB.
Instead of relying on the MariaDB's ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP trigger update
"modified" attributes in Managed_DataObject. Every raw query that needs
adjusting is adjusted, as they won't update "modified" automatically anymore.
The main goal behind this change is to fix "modified" updates on PostgreSQL.
This way UNKNOWN (NULL) explicitly turns to FALSE when three-valued logic is
reduced to binary.
In pgsqlschema, however, use "IS FALSE" as boolean attributes in pg_index are
non-nullable, there is no outer join and there's no clear preference for NULL
reduction.
Over-complicated constructions in TagCloud queries have been simplified, which
should not affect their performance.
Additionally, in TagCloud's lib/subscriptionspeopleselftagcloudsection.php
a typing mistake in an equi-join of "profile_tag" and "profile_list" on
"tagger" was fixed.
That regression was introduced in f446db8e2a
Avoid the use of deprecated MariaDB "zero dates" globally. If they're present
as attribute defaults somewhere, they will be replaced with NULL implicitly.
The existing "zero dates" in MariaDB storage will be left intact and this
should not present any issues.
The "timestamp" type in table definitions now corresponds to DATETIME in
MariaDB with "DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP", which
should be close enough to the original behaviour for compatibility purposes.
It is now the recommended type for "modified" attributes, because of the
update trigger on MariaDB. But there is no such trigger implemented on
PostgreSQL as of this moment.
The code used to operate under the assumption that MariaDB doesn't support
quoting identifiers. Not only is that not exactly true, but MariaDB has
reserved keywords that cannot be used as table or column names unquoted.
