I see the branch, but I don't see the code: https://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/branches/abstract-schema/phase3/ It looks like someone just copied phase3 and then never actually changed any code. I don't even see a syntax idea there.

We tried this before, and I'd love to see it happen. Take a look at the abstract-schema branch in SVN for what we did.

We've got a nice abstract query system but our table creation and migrations are horrible. We re-write them for multiple database engines. And as a result extensions need to do the same and often don't. Leading to things being a mess for databases other than MySQL. While I was doing the sites stuff a syntax for defining tables came to mind and I wrote out an RfC for a method of defining our database abstractly. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Abstract_table_definitions -- ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://daniel.friesen.name] _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org> https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
