So this isn't a good > solution. That's nonsense. We use a single TINYINT because it was introduced to the schema as an unused boolean, and Brion later had the bright idea of using it as a bitfield to expand its applications while avoiding another schema change. It wouldn't make a significant difference to database size if it were a text field with some complex ACL format, like the old page.page_restrictions, and it's quite possible we would have done that if the schema for it were designed from scratch. However, we still want to avoid unnecessary schema changes to large tables. >> 2. Add a function to the Database API for each bit operator. >> >> $sql = $database->bitand('log_deleted', 1); >> >> 3.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Database API: Abstracting bitwise operations
Personally, I'd rather stay away from any regex-based SQL compatibility shims. I think they introduce tight-coupling to the system, and are by nature fragile. Handling bitwise operation in a generic way is quite doable. The Database API already has similar abstraction for other things. I'll be happy to check in the addition to the Database class tomorrow June 13th. Any more votes for which stylistic approach is preferable? 2. Add a function to the Database API for each bit operator. $sql = $database->bitand('log_deleted', 1); $sql = $database->bitor('log_deleted', 1); $sql = $database->bitxor('log_deleted', 1); 3. Add a function to the Database API to handle all the operators. $sql = $database->op('&', 'log_deleted', 1); $sql = $database->op('|', 'log_deleted', 1); $sql = $database->op('^', 'log_deleted', 1); or $sql = $database->op(Database::BITAND, 'log_deleted', 1); $sql = $database->op(Database::BITOR, 'log_deleted', 1); $sql = $database->op(Database::BITXOR, 'log_deleted', 1); So far we've had one vote for option 1 and two votes for option 2.

Having that kind of silent and fragile rule in place isn't good, because it's counterintuitive. People aren't going to realize, they'll just assume bitwise operators work and use them everywhere.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Database API: Abstracting bitwise operations
This didn't even come up on my radar as I began working on integrating the 1.15.0 changes into the Microsoft SQL Server version. Here's why: It didn't break anything. The only noticeable database-related breakage recently has been with the Special:RecentChanges and Special:RecentChangesLinked pages, which use LIMIT and ORDER BY together with UNION in a way not supported by SQL Server. So, you can update your summary of the bitwise operator syntax in different databases to reflect that. MySQL, PostgeSQL, SQL Server log_deleted & 1 On Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 10:06 AM, Freako F.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Database API: Abstracting bitwise operations
Oracle abstraction solves this problem in makeList function ... the only weak point for this solution is if you write SQL statements manualy, if you use Database class functions to create the actual SQL statement this works and as i was told on #mediawiki manual sql creation should gradually be rooted out.

[Wikitech-l] Database API: Abstracting bitwise operations
The 1.15 release of MediaWiki introduced some hardcoded bitwise operators to the core SQL. They were added to operate on the log_deleted column in the logging table by, I think, aaron. This is because the log_deleted column now has multiple states. Unfortunately, bitwise operators have different syntax in different databases. MySQL, PostgreSQL: log_deleted & 1 DB2, Oracle: BITAND(log_deleted, 1) I think there are three options to make it compatible: 1. Refactor the database to not use an integer as a bit field. Just use four different boolean columns, which works well cross-database. 2. Add a function to the Database API for each bit operator. $sql = $database->bitand('log_deleted', 1); 3. Add a function to the Database API to handle all the operators. $sql = $database->op('&', 'log_deleted', 1); or $sql = $database->op(Database::BITAND, 'log_deleted', 1); My preference is for option 1 or 3.

But it mentioned LVS [ipvs], dunno whether we use it or not, but it supports ipv6 either. ;-) g ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

[Wikitech-l] wikimedia, wikipedia and ipv6
Ehlo, I see that this topic has been popped up from time to time since 2004, and that most of the misc servers have been already IPv6 enabled. I have checked around whether google have any info on that, and found a few (really few) mail on that, from the original 2004 test to a comment from 2008 that squid and mediawiki is the problem, apart from some smaller issues. (As a sidenote, google don't seem to find anything on site:lists.wikimedia.org about "ipv6", interesting.) Now, squid fully supports IPv6 as of now (since 3.1), so I guess that's check. (I didn't try it, though, but others seem to have.) MediaWiki, well, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/IPv6_support didn't mention any outstanding problem and the linked bug is closed, so as far as I'm observing (without actually testing it) it looks okay. The database structure may require some tuning as far as I see. Right? Apache handle it since eternity, php does I guess. Are there any further, non v6 compatible components in running a wikipedia? If not, is there any outstanding proble which would make it impossible to fire up a test interface on ipv6? I'd say to use a separate host, like en.ipv6.wikipedia.org, and not to worry about the cache efficiency because I doubt that the ipv6 level traffic would really measure up to the ipv4 one. At least it could be properly measured, and decision should base on facts how to go on. Maybe there's a test host already on, but I wasn't able to find it, so I guess nobody else can. ;-) Is there any further problem in this topic require solutions, or it just didn't occur to anyone lately? -- byte-byte, grin ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
