Ideally the character set should be set with the connection, and so this is
exactly what's being done now.
And now the character set code is attempted to be generalised.
Changing `character_set_server` requires root permissions and rebooting
the server.
Which is impossible on shared web hosting services.
So use `character_set_database`. This variable can be changed with
user permissions using `ALTER DATABASE`.
"Magic quotes" were removed in PHP 5.4, no need to mitigate it anymore.
Avoid implode() with the join()-like order of arguments which was deprecated
since PHP 7.4 and implicitly since PHP 5.3.
Also avoid implode() with an implicit separator for stylistic reasons.
mktime() with no arguments has been deprecated since PHP 5.1.
Before now table definitions could define collations only for MariaDB using the
MariaDB's collation names directly.
Now instead definitions get a slightly more abstract collation name syntax, but
only supporting the collations utf8mb4_bin and utf8mb4_unicode_(cs|ci) (wrapped
as utf8_bin, utf8_general_(cs|ci)), because those are the ones that have
practical use for GNU social.
Which also means that on MariaDB the formerly used utf8mb4_general_(cs|ci) have
been superseded by utf8mb4_unicode_(cs|ci), as they are the more modern
replacement.
Introduce collation support on PostgreSQL which results in use of the C (POSIX)
collation as utf8_bin and the und-x-icu collation as utf8_general_cs.
utf8_general_ci is also mapped to und-x-icu, which makes it case-sensitive,
unfortunately.
Now analogous to the simple and safe PostgreSQL's websearch_to_tsquery syntax.
MariaDB's full-text boolean search queries will fail on input such as "@user"
(unquoted) which is particularly noticeable to the user.
WebP format is now the default image format for anything that
is not an animated GIF. Image Intervention doesn't support
animated WebPs so we don't convert animated GIFs.
ImageFile:
MediaFile:
default:
- Add WebP support
"blob" is practically used with the expectation of unlimited length, which is
true with PostgreSQL's bytea, but not with MariaDB's BLOB, which is limited to
64KiB.
So instead use LONGBLOB, which has a maximum of 4GiB, effectively unlimited.
Give priority to cookies over GET.
Make sure session ids have only expected characters
(PHP file session handler's limitation).
Replace a mostly useless log warning with a debug message.
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
There are only three possible visible notice verbs: POST, SHARE and DELETE.
What including all verbs does is it makes limiting (FETCH FIRST) unreliable as
the query will fetch invisible stuff (like favourites) and count it in, but
nothing will be displayed.
NoticeStream only allows POST and SHARE, so this effectively removes tombstones
from the profile page like in 78a111b57d
Introduce a new property in CachingNoticeStream for always checking if there
are any new elements in the stream.
It would be extremely hard to blow InboxNoticeStream, so instead the database
hit will still occur, but it is be much faster than starting fresh.
This fixes a regression introduced in 36a55d8436
