There's a very rough draft diagram of MediaWiki 1.10's DB schema at: http://files.nickj.org/MediaWiki/mediawiki-db-schema-v1-cropped.png
Oooh, that would look great on the wall of my office. :)
Very high chance of errors / omissions / stuff-ups, so comments and corrections and suggestions welcome.
Quick questions:
- Can the validate table be safely deleted? (I'm assuming it's cruft left over after schema updates)
Yes, kill it. :)
- Can the ipblocks_old table be safely deleted? (I'm assuming it's cruft left over after schema updates)
Yep.
- A one line description of the trackbacks table? (e.g. "Stores trackbacks from external sites which link to the wiki")
Yeah, sounds about right. ;)
It's an optional feature, not sure how great it is; disabled by default. I think it should be made an extension. :D
You might also link the langlinks table to interwiki... I don't think they're ever joined, currently, but it might make sense. Either way.
