What is the situation with respect to database support?

@Anomie, do you have any insight into the database support in Echo?

I think sqlite and mysql are good. Postgres if it works, is more by accident (ie the sql works there too) than any sort of planning

It almost certainly doesn't work then, since for example the syntax for defining auto-incrementing ID fields is different, PG doesn't have "unsigned", and other incompatibilities.

It might work if someone were to write the schema for it and wire it into EchoHooks::onLoadExtensionSchemaUpdates(). MediaWiki's DQL and DML abstractions are pretty good if used right, it's just the DDL that's almost completely not abstracted.

Based on the determination above, and that clearly we are not going to get DB schemata written, tested, and merged in the next 11 days when there are no volunteers who care about PG support around, I'm moving this and related tasks to 1.35 and marking as Stalled.

I seriously doubt anyone is going to fix CentralAuth to work with postgres any time soon. :-(

Why is that a dependency? CentralAuth is not bundled; if Echo works in Postgres as part of the bundle but doesn't work when random extension X is also added to the bundle, that should not be a blocker IMO.

If you want to write a set of config in CI that knows to pull the CentralAuth dependency from Notifications but only when running the postgresql DB back-end, and convince RelEng to allow that complexity into their stack, be my guest.

Hey there. This task is proposed as a blocker to MediaWiki 1.37, which will be cut in less than three weeks' time. Please consider whether this will make that deadline, and if not, move it to block the MediaWiki 1.38 release (MW-1.38-release) or remove as a blocker entirely.
