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been superseded by utf8mb4_unicode_(cs|ci), as they are the more modern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
The notice.created sort forced the notice_tag by notice join plain to employ
materialisation, which can have a serious performance penalty depending on the
size of the database.
Sort by notice_tag.created instead, which should be exactly the same.
All verbs for not visible notices are filtered out, so this should not
break the timeline.
Additionally, filter by profile outside of the derived relation as that shows
better performance in PostgreSQL and MariaDB both.
It appears this was added to display "tombstones" of deleted notices.
However, it has other side-effects and the concept of keeping them visible has
not been adopted by the wider fediverse.
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.
Make common_sql_weight employ standard SQL functions for the timestamp
difference in seconds.
Also replace UTC_TIMESTAMP in the MariaDB-specific part with CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
as it is the only occurence and GNU social sets UTC as a default timezone.
In a delete_orphan_files.php script simplify the main query considerably.
In clean_profiles.php stop using COUNT as if it is ANY, that is unnecessary
punishment for the database. Instead implement the anti-join with a
left outer join.
In Autocomplete and Activitypub_profile use joins instead of a WHERE OR
anti-pattern for the semi-joins.
In lib/ui/galleryaction.php replace a CROSS JOIN with an INNER JOIN.
In actions/sup.php remove a redundant subquery: WHERE is applied before
grouping either way.
The Census event is now replaced with module settings for populating the
protocols array. With this we can shutdown some plugins and still make
them be checked by TFN.
The performance:high config is now added when deciding whether or not to
do online lookup after the offline lookup fails.
default:
- Add default values for the TFN protocol setting
EVENTS:
- Remove Cencus event
TheFreeNetworkModule
- Remove Census event handler, update protocols array to use module's settings
- Use performance:high config when deciding to do online lookup
