Commit summary for MediaWiki.r111264: adding DBDataObject class after having some people review it and posting on the list. docs can currently be found at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Jeroen_De_Dauw/DBDataObject Jeroen De Dauw's comment: An instance represents a row. So if you want to do an operation on a table as a whole, it makes no sense to make an instance. I think it even does not make sense if you ignore that first argument. Why would you create an instance of an object if there is absolutely no need to? <pre> $instance = new MyClass(); $instance->someNonInstanceBehaviour(); </pre> <pre> MyClass::someNonInstanceBehaviour(); </pre> The later one looks more sane to me. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list mediawiki-coderev...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
