Member Function Documentation

◆ __toString()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IReadableDatabase::__toString ( )

Get a debugging string that mentions the database type, the ID of this instance, and the ID of any underlying connection resource or driver object if one is present.

Returns: string "<db type> object #<X>" or "<db type> object #<X> (resource/handle id #<Y>)"

Since: 1.34

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

◆ andExpr()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IReadableDatabase::andExpr ( array $conds )

See Expression::__construct()

Since: 1.43

Parameters

Returns: AndExpressionGroup

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

Referenced by MediaWiki\User\TempUser\RealTempUserConfig\getMatchCondition().

◆ close()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IReadableDatabase::close ( $fname = __METHOD__ )

Close the database connection.

This should only be called after any transactions have been resolved, aside from read-only automatic transactions (assuming no callbacks are registered). If a transaction is still open anyway, it will be rolled back.

Access: internal: Only for use by LoadBalancer

Parameters

string $fname Caller name

Returns: bool Success

Exceptions

DBError

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

◆ databasesAreIndependent()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IReadableDatabase::databasesAreIndependent ( )

Returns true if DBs are assumed to be on potentially different servers.

In systems like mysql/mariadb, different databases can easily be referenced on a single connection merely by name, even in a single query via JOIN. On the other hand, Postgres treats databases as logically separate, with different database users, requiring special mechanisms like postgres_fdw to "mount" foreign DBs. This is true even among DBs on the same server. Changing the selected database via selectDomain() requires a new connection.

Returns: bool

Since: 1.29

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabasePostgres, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseSqlite, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

◆ dbSchema()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IReadableDatabase::dbSchema ( $schema = null )

Get/set the db schema.

Parameters

string | null $schema The database schema to set, or omitted to leave it unchanged

Returns: string The previous db schema

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

◆ decodeBlob()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IReadableDatabase::decodeBlob ( $b )

Some DBMSs return a special placeholder object representing blob fields in result objects.

Pass the object through this function to return the original string.

Parameters

string | Blob $b

Returns: string

Exceptions

DBError

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabasePostgres, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseSqlite, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

Referenced by ArchivedFile\loadMetadataFromDbFieldValue(), and LocalFile\loadMetadataFromDbFieldValue().

◆ encodeBlob()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IReadableDatabase::encodeBlob ( $b )

Some DBMSs have a special format for inserting into blob fields, they don't allow simple quoted strings to be inserted.

To insert into such a field, pass the data through this function before passing it to IDatabase::insert().

Parameters

string $b

Returns: string|Blob

Exceptions

DBError

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabasePostgres, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseSqlite, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

Referenced by ArchivedFile\getMetadataForDb(), LocalFile\getMetadataForDb(), and LCStoreDB\set().

◆ estimateRowCount()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IReadableDatabase::estimateRowCount	(	$tables,
		$var = ' *',
		$conds = '',
		$fname = __METHOD__,
		$options = [],
		$join_conds = [] )

Estimate the number of rows in dataset.

MySQL allows you to estimate the number of rows that would be returned by a SELECT query, using EXPLAIN SELECT. The estimate is provided using index cardinality statistics, and is notoriously inaccurate, especially when large numbers of rows have recently been added or deleted.

For DBMSs that don't support fast result size estimation, this function will actually perform the SELECT COUNT(*).

Takes the same arguments as IDatabase::select().

New callers should use newSelectQueryBuilder with SelectQueryBuilder::estimateRowCount instead, which is more readable and less error-prone.

Access: internal

Parameters

string \| string[]	$tables	Unqualified name of table(s)
string	$var	Column for which NULL values are not counted [default "*"]
	string\|IExpression\|array<string,?scalar\|non-empty-array<int,?scalar>\|RawSQLValue>\|array<int,string\|IExpression>	$conds Filters on the table
string	$fname	Function name for profiling
array	$options	Options for select
array \| string	$join_conds	Join conditions

Returns: int Row count

Exceptions

DBError If an error occurs, {

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IReadableDatabase::expr	(	string	$field,
		string	$op,
			$value )

See Expression::__construct()

Since: 1.42

Referenced by Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database\getServerInfo(), and MediaWiki\Installer\DatabaseInstaller\meetsMinimumRequirement().

◆ getSessionLagStatus()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IReadableDatabase::getSessionLagStatus ( )

Get a cached estimate of the seconds of replication lag on this database server, using the estimate obtained at the start of the current transaction if one is active.

This is useful when transactions might use snapshot isolation (e.g. REPEATABLE-READ in innodb), so the "real" lag of that data is this lag plus transaction duration. If they don't, it is still safe to be pessimistic. In AUTOCOMMIT mode, this still gives an indication of the staleness of subsequent reads.

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database.

◆ select()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IReadableDatabase::select	(	$tables,
		$vars,
		$conds = '',
		$fname = __METHOD__,
		$options = [],
		$join_conds = [] )

Execute a SELECT query constructed using the various parameters provided.

New callers should use newSelectQueryBuilder with SelectQueryBuilder::fetchResultSet instead, which is more readable and less error-prone.

Parameters

string | array $tables Table reference(s) using unqualified table names.

Each table reference assigns a table name to a specified collection of rows for the context of the query (e.g. field expressions, WHERE clause, GROUP BY clause, HAVING clause, ect...). Use of multiple table references implies a JOIN.

If a string is given, it must hold the name of the table having the specified collection of rows. If an array is given, each entry must be one of the following:

A string holding the name of the existing table which has the collection of rows. If keyed by a string, the key will be the assigned table name.
A Subquery instance which specifies the collection of rows derived from a subquery. If keyed by a string, the key will be the assigned table name. Otherwise, the SQL text of the subquery will be the assigned table name.
An array specifying the collection of rows derived from a parenthesized JOIN. It must be keyed by a string, which will be used as the assigned table name.

String keys allow table aliases to be specified, for example:

[ 'a' => 'user' ]

This includes the user table in the query, with the alias "a" available for use in field names (e.g. a.user_name).

A derived table, defined by the result of selectSQLText(), requires an alias key and a Subquery instance value which wraps the SQL query, for example:

[ 'c' => new Subquery( 'SELECT ...' ) ]

Joins using parentheses for grouping (since MediaWiki 1.31) may be constructed using nested arrays. For example,

[ 'tableA', 'nestedB' => [ 'tableB', 'b2' => 'tableB2' ] ]

along with $join_conds like

[ 'b2' => [ 'JOIN', 'b_id = b2_id' ], 'nestedB' => [ 'LEFT JOIN', 'b_a = a_id' ] ]

will produce SQL something like

FROM tableA LEFT JOIN (tableB JOIN tableB2 AS b2 ON (b_id = b2_id)) ON (b_a = a_id)

All of the table names given here are automatically run through Database::tableName(), which causes the table prefix (if any) to be added, and various other table name mappings to be performed.

Do not use untrusted user input as a table name. Alias names should not have characters outside of the Basic multilingual plane.

Parameters

string | array $vars Field name(s)

May be either a field name or an array of field names. The field names can be complete fragments of SQL, for direct inclusion into the SELECT query. If an array is given, field aliases can be specified, for example:

[ 'maxrev' => 'MAX(rev_id)' ]

This includes an expression with the alias "maxrev" in the query.

If an expression is given, care must be taken to ensure that it is DBMS-independent.

Untrusted user input must not be passed to this parameter.

Parameters

May be either a string containing a single condition, or an array of conditions. If an array is given, the conditions constructed from each element are combined with AND.

Array elements may take one of two forms:

Elements with a numeric key are interpreted as raw SQL fragments.
Elements with a string key are interpreted as equality conditions, where the key is the field name.
- If the value of such an array element is a scalar (such as a string), it will be treated as data and thus quoted appropriately. If it is null, an IS NULL clause will be added.
- If the value is an array, an IN (...) clause will be constructed from its non-null elements, and an IS NULL clause will be added if null is present, such that the field may match any of the elements in the array. The non-null elements will be quoted.

Note that expressions are often DBMS-dependent in their syntax. DBMS-independent wrappers are provided for constructing several types of expression commonly used in condition queries. See:

IDatabase::buildLike()
IDatabase::conditional()

Untrusted user input is safe in the values of string keys, however untrusted input must not be used in the array key names or in the values of numeric keys. Escaping of untrusted input used in values of numeric keys should be done via IDatabase::addQuotes()

Use an empty array, string, or IDatabase::ALL_ROWS to select all rows.

You can put simple join conditions here, but this is strongly discouraged. Instead of

// $conds...
'rev_actor = actor_id',

use (see below for $join_conds):

// $join_conds...
'actor' => [ 'JOIN', 'rev_actor = actor_id' ],

Parameters

string	$fname	Caller function name
string \| array	$options	Query options

Optional: Array of query options. Boolean options are specified by including them in the array as a string value with a numeric key, for example:

[ 'FOR UPDATE' ]

The supported options are:

OFFSET: Skip this many rows at the start of the result set. OFFSET with LIMIT can theoretically be used for paging through a result set, but this is discouraged for performance reasons.
LIMIT: Integer: return at most this many rows. The rows are sorted and then the first rows are taken until the limit is reached. LIMIT is applied to a result set after OFFSET.
LOCK IN SHARE MODE: Boolean: lock the returned rows so that they can't be changed until the next COMMIT. Cannot be used with aggregate functions (COUNT, MAX, etc., but also DISTINCT).
FOR UPDATE: Boolean: lock the returned rows so that they can't be changed nor read with LOCK IN SHARE MODE until the next COMMIT. Cannot be used with aggregate functions (COUNT, MAX, etc., but also DISTINCT).
DISTINCT: Boolean: return only unique result rows.
GROUP BY: May be either an SQL fragment string naming a field or expression to group by, or an array of such SQL fragments.
HAVING: May be either a string containing a HAVING clause or an array of conditions building the HAVING clause. If an array is given, the conditions constructed from each element are combined with AND.
ORDER BY: May be either an SQL fragment giving a field name or expression to order by, or an array of such SQL fragments.
USE INDEX: This may be either a string giving the index name to use for the query, or an array. If it is an associative array, each key gives the table name (or alias), each value gives the index name to use for that table. All strings are SQL fragments and so should be validated by the caller.
IGNORE INDEX: This may be either be a string giving an index name to ignore for the query, or an array. If it is an associative array, each key gives the table name (or alias), each value gives the index name to ignore for that table. All strings are SQL fragments and so should be validated by the caller.
EXPLAIN: In MySQL, this causes an EXPLAIN SELECT query to be run, instead of SELECT.
MAX_EXECUTION_TIME: (only in MySQL/MariaDB) maximum allowed time to run the query in milliseconds (if database supports it).

And also the following boolean MySQL extensions, see the MySQL manual for documentation:

STRAIGHT_JOIN
SQL_BIG_RESULT
SQL_BUFFER_RESULT
SQL_SMALL_RESULT
SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS

Parameters

string | array $join_conds Join conditions

Optional associative array of table-specific join conditions. Simple conditions can also be specified in the regular $conds, but this is strongly discouraged in favor of the more explicit syntax here.

The key of the array contains the table name or alias. The value is an array with two elements, numbered 0 and 1. The first gives the type of join, the second is the same as the $conds parameter. Thus it can be an SQL fragment, or an array where the string keys are equality and the numeric keys are SQL fragments all AND'd together. For example:

[ 'page' => [ 'LEFT JOIN', 'page_latest=rev_id' ] ]

Access: internal

Returns: IResultWrapper Resulting rows

Exceptions

DBError If an error occurs, {

See also: query}

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

◆ selectDomain()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IReadableDatabase::selectDomain ( $domain )

Set the current domain (database, schema, and table prefix)

This will throw an error for some database types if the database is unspecified

This should only be called by a load balancer or if the handle is not attached to one

Parameters

string | DatabaseDomain $domain

Exceptions

DBConnectionError	If databasesAreIndependent() is true and connection change fails
DBError	On query error, if domain changes are disallowed, or the domain is invalid

Since: 1.32

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

◆ selectField()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IReadableDatabase::selectField	(	$tables,
		$var,
		$cond = '',
		$fname = __METHOD__,
		$options = [],
		$join_conds = [] )

A SELECT wrapper which returns a single field from a single result row.

If no result rows are returned from the query, false is returned.

New callers should use newSelectQueryBuilder with SelectQueryBuilder::fetchField instead, which is more readable and less error-prone.

Access: internal: callers outside of rdbms library should use SelectQueryBuilder instead.

Parameters

string | array $tables Table reference(s) using unqualified table names. {

See also: select} for details.

Parameters

string | array $var The field name to select. This must be a valid SQL fragment: do not use unvalidated user input. Can be an array, but must contain exactly 1 element then. {

See also: select} for details.

Parameters

string|IExpression|array<string,?scalar|non-empty-array<int,?scalar>|RawSQLValue>|array<int,string|IExpression> $cond The condition array. {

See also: select} for details.

Parameters

string	$fname	The function name of the caller.
string \| array	$options	The query options. {

See also: select} for details.

Parameters

string | array $join_conds The query join conditions. {

See also: select} for details.

Returns: mixed|false The value from the field, or false if nothing was found

Exceptions

DBError If an error occurs, {

See also: query}

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

◆ selectFieldValues()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IReadableDatabase::selectFieldValues	(	$tables,
		$var,
		$cond = '',
		$fname = __METHOD__,
		$options = [],
		$join_conds = [] )

A SELECT wrapper which returns a list of single field values from result rows.

If no result rows are returned from the query, an empty array is returned.

New callers should use newSelectQueryBuilder with SelectQueryBuilder::fetchFieldValues instead, which is more readable and less error-prone.

Access: internal: callers outside of rdbms library should use SelectQueryBuilder instead.

Parameters

string | array $tables Table reference(s) using unqualified table names. {

See also: select} for details.

Parameters

string	$var	The field name to select. This must be a valid SQL fragment: do not use unvalidated user input.
	string\|IExpression\|array<string,?scalar\|non-empty-array<int,?scalar>\|RawSQLValue>\|array<int,string\|IExpression>	$cond The condition array. {

See also: select} for details.

Parameters

string	$fname	The function name of the caller.
string \| array	$options	The query options. {

See also: select} for details.

Parameters

string | array $join_conds The query join conditions. {

See also: select} for details.

Returns: array The values from the field in the order they were returned from the DB

Exceptions

DBError If an error occurs, {

See also: query}

Since: 1.25

◆ selectRow()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IReadableDatabase::selectRow	(	$tables,
		$vars,
		$conds,
		$fname = __METHOD__,
		$options = [],
		$join_conds = [] )

Wrapper to IDatabase::select() that only fetches one row (via LIMIT)

If the query returns no rows, false is returned.

This method is convenient for fetching a row based on a unique key condition.

New callers should use newSelectQueryBuilder with SelectQueryBuilder::fetchRow instead, which is more readable and less error-prone.

Access: internal

Parameters

string | array $tables Table reference(s) using unqualified table names. {

See also: select} for details.

Parameters

string \| array	$vars	Field names
	string\|IExpression\|array<string,?scalar\|non-empty-array<int,?scalar>\|RawSQLValue>\|array<int,string\|IExpression>	$conds Conditions
string	$fname	Caller function name
string \| array	$options	Query options
array \| string	$join_conds	Join conditions

Returns: stdClass|false

Exceptions

DBError If an error occurs, {

See also: query}

◆ selectRowCount()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IReadableDatabase::selectRowCount	(	$tables,
		$var = ' *',
		$conds = '',
		$fname = __METHOD__,
		$options = [],
		$join_conds = [] )

Get the number of rows in dataset.

This is useful when trying to do COUNT(*) but with a LIMIT for performance.

Takes the same arguments as IDatabase::select().

New callers should use newSelectQueryBuilder with SelectQueryBuilder::fetchRowCount instead, which is more readable and less error-prone.

Since: 1.27 Added $join_conds parameter
