Member Function Documentation

◆ addIdentifierQuotes()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::addIdentifierQuotes ( $s)

Escape a SQL identifier (e.g.

table, column, database) for use in a SQL query

Depending on the database this will either be backticks or "double quotes"

Parameters
string$s
Returns
string
Since
1.33

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

Referenced by MediaWiki\Deferred\SiteStatsUpdate\doUpdate().

◆ anyChar()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::anyChar ( )

Returns a token for buildLike() that denotes a '_' to be used in a LIKE query.

Returns
LikeMatch

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

◆ anyString()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::anyString ( )

Returns a token for buildLike() that denotes a '' to be used in a LIKE query.

Returns
LikeMatch

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

Referenced by MediaWiki\User\TempUser\Pattern\buildLike(), and DeleteLocalPasswords\processUsers().

◆ bitAnd()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::bitAnd ( $fieldLeft,
$fieldRight )
Parameters
string | int$fieldLeft
string | int$fieldRight
Returns
string

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

◆ bitNot()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::bitNot ( $field)
Parameters
string | int$field
Returns
string

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

◆ bitOr()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::bitOr ( $fieldLeft,
$fieldRight )
Parameters
string | int$fieldLeft
string | int$fieldRight
Returns
string

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

◆ buildComparison()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::buildComparison ( string $op,
array $conds )

Build a condition comparing multiple values, for use with indexes that cover multiple fields, common when e.g.

paging through results or doing batch operations.

For example, you might be displaying a list of people ordered alphabetically by their last and first name, split across multiple pages. The first page of the results ended at Jane Doe. When building the query for the next page, you would use:

$queryBuilder->where( $db->buildComparison( '>', [ 'last' => 'Doe', 'first' => 'Jane' ] ) );

This will return people whose last name follows Doe, or whose last name is Doe and first name follows Jane.

Note that the order of keys in the associative array $conds is significant, and must match the order of fields used by the index.

When comparing a single value, prefer using the expression builder:

$db->expr( 'key', '<=', $val )

// equivalent to:
$db->buildComparison( '<=', [ 'key' => $val ] )
'key <= ' . $db->addQuotes( $val )
Parameters
string$opComparison operator, one of '>', '>=', '<', '<='
non-empty-array<string,mixed>$conds Map of field names to their values to use in the comparison
Returns
string SQL code

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

◆ buildConcat()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::buildConcat ( $stringList)

Build a concatenation list to feed into a SQL query.

Parameters
string[]$stringListRaw SQL expression list; caller is responsible for escaping
Returns
string

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef, Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\PostgresPlatform, Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\SqlitePlatform, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\SQLPlatform.

Referenced by DeleteLocalPasswords\processUsers().

◆ buildExcludedValue()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::buildExcludedValue ( $column)

Build a reference to a column value from the conflicting proposed upsert() row.

The reference comes in the form of an alias, function, or parenthesized SQL expression. It can be used in upsert() SET expressions to handle the merging of column values between each conflicting pair of existing and proposed rows. Such proposed rows are said to have been "excluded" from insertion in favor of updating the existing row.

This is useful for multi-row upserts() since the proposed values cannot just be included as literals in the SET expressions.

See also
IDatabase::upsert()
Parameters
string$columnColumn name
Returns
string SQL expression returning a scalar
Since
1.39

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef, Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\MySQLPlatform, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\SQLPlatform.

◆ buildGreatest()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::buildGreatest ( $fields,
$values )

Build a GREATEST function statement comparing columns/values.

Integer and float values in $values will not be quoted

If $fields is an array, then each value with a string key is treated as an expression (which must be manually quoted); such string keys do not appear in the SQL and are only descriptive aliases.

Parameters
string | string[]$fieldsName(s) of column(s) with values to compare
string | int | float | string[] | int[] | float[]$valuesValues to compare
Returns
mixed

◆ buildGroupConcatField()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::buildGroupConcatField ( $delim,
$table,
$field,
$conds = '',
$join_conds = [] )

Build a GROUP_CONCAT or equivalent statement for a query.

This is useful for combining a field for several rows into a single string. NULL values will not appear in the output, duplicated values will appear, and the resulting delimiter-separated values have no defined sort order. Code using the results may need to use the PHP unique() or sort() methods.

Parameters
string$delimGlue to bind the results together
string | array$tableTable name
string$fieldField name
string | array$condsConditions
string | array$join_condsJoin conditions

◆ buildLeast()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::buildLeast ( $fields,
$values )

Build a LEAST function statement comparing columns/values.

Integer and float values in $values will not be quoted

If $fields is an array, then each value with a string key is treated as an expression (which must be manually quoted); such string keys do not appear in the SQL and are only descriptive aliases.

Parameters
string | string[]$fieldsName(s) of column(s) with values to compare

◆ buildLike()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::buildLike ( $param,
$params )

LIKE statement wrapper.

This takes a variable-length argument list with parts of pattern to match containing either string literals that will be escaped or tokens returned by anyChar() or anyString(). Alternatively, the function could be provided with an array of the aforementioned parameters.

Example: $dbr->buildLike( 'My_page_title/', $dbr->anyString() ) returns a LIKE clause that searches for subpages of 'My page title'. Alternatively: $pattern = [ 'My_page_title/', $dbr->anyString() ]; $query .= $dbr->buildLike( $pattern );

◆ factorConds()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::factorConds ( $condsArray)

Given an array of condition arrays representing an OR list of AND lists, for example:

(A=1 AND B=2) OR (A=1 AND B=3)

produce an SQL expression in which the conditions are factored:

(A=1 AND (B=2 OR B=3))

We also use IN() to simplify further:

(A=1 AND (B IN (2,3))

More compactly, in boolean algebra notation, a sum of products, e.g. AB + AC is factored to produce A(B+C). Factoring proceeds recursively to reduce expressions with any number of variables, for example AEP + AEQ + AFP + AFQ = A(E(P+Q) + F(P+Q))

The algorithm is simple and will not necessarily find the shortest possible expression. For the best results, fields should be given in a consistent order, and the fields with values likely to be shared should be leftmost in the associative arrays.

Parameters
array$condsArrayAn array of associative arrays. The associative array keys represent field names, and the values represent the field values to compare against.
Returns
string SQL expression fragment

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

◆ getInfinity()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::getInfinity ( )

Find out when 'infinity' is.

Most DBMSes support this. This is a special keyword for timestamps in PostgreSQL, and works with CHAR(14) as well because "i" sorts after all numbers.

Returns
string

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

◆ getTableAliases()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::getTableAliases ( )

Return current table aliases.

Access: internal
only to be used inside rdbms library

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

◆ implicitOrderby()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::implicitOrderby ( )

Returns true if this database does an implicit order by when the column has an index For example: SELECT page_title FROM page LIMIT 1.

Returns
bool

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef, Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\PostgresPlatform, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\SQLPlatform.

◆ limitResult()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::limitResult ( $sql,
$limit,
$offset = false )

Construct a LIMIT query with optional offset.

The SQL should be adjusted so that only the first $limit rows are returned. If $offset is provided as well, then the first $offset rows should be discarded, and the next $limit rows should be returned. If the result of the query is not ordered, then the rows to be returned are theoretically arbitrary.

$sql is expected to be a SELECT, if that makes a difference.

Parameters
string$sqlSQL query we will append the limit too
int$limitThe SQL limit
int | false$offsetThe SQL offset (default false)
Returns
string
Since
1.34 in IDatabase, moved to ISQLPlatform in 1.39

◆ makeList()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::makeList ( array $a,
$mode = self::LIST_COMMA )

Makes an encoded list of strings from an array.

These can be used to make conjunctions or disjunctions on SQL condition strings derived from an array ({

See also
IDatabase::select} $conds documentation).

Example usage:

$sql = $db->makeList( [
'rev_page' => $id,
$db->makeList( [ 'rev_minor' => 1, 'rev_len < 500' ], $db::LIST_OR )
], $db::LIST_AND );

This would set $sql to "rev_page = '$id' AND (rev_minor = 1 OR rev_len < 500)"

Parameters
array$aContaining the data
int$modeIDatabase class constant:
  • IDatabase::LIST_COMMA: Comma separated, no field names
  • IDatabase::LIST_AND: ANDed WHERE clause (without the WHERE).
  • IDatabase::LIST_OR: ORed WHERE clause (without the WHERE)
  • IDatabase::LIST_SET: Comma separated with field names, like a SET clause
  • IDatabase::LIST_NAMES: Comma separated field names
Exceptions
DBErrorIf an error occurs, {

◆ makeWhereFrom2d()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::makeWhereFrom2d ( $data,
$baseKey,
$subKey )

Build a "OR" condition with pairs from a two-dimensional array.

The associative array should have integer keys relating to the $baseKey field. The nested array should have string keys for the $subKey field. The inner values are ignored, and are typically boolean true.

Example usage:

$data = [
2 => [
'Foo' => true,
'Bar' => true,
],
3 => [
'Quux' => true,
],
];
// (page_namespace = 2 AND page_title IN ('Foo','Bar'))
// OR (page_namespace = 3 AND page_title = 'Quux')
Todo
This is effectively specific to MediaWiki's LinkBatch. Consider deprecating or generalising slightly.
Parameters
array$dataNested array, must be non-empty
string$baseKeyField name to match the base-level keys to (eg 'pl_namespace')
string$subKeyField name to match the sub-level keys to (eg 'pl_title')
Returns
string SQL fragment

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

◆ selectSQLText()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::selectSQLText ( $table,
$vars,
$conds = '',
$fname = __METHOD__,
$options = [],
$join_conds = [] )

Take the same arguments as IDatabase::select() and return the SQL it would use.

This can be useful for making UNION queries, where the SQL text of each query is needed. In general, however, callers outside of Database classes should just use select().

See also
IDatabase::select()
Parameters
string | array$tableTable name(s)
string | array$varsField names
string | array$condsConditions
string$fnameCaller function name
string | array$optionsQuery options
string | array$join_condsJoin conditions
Returns
string SQL query string

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseMySQL, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef, Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\PostgresPlatform, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\SQLPlatform.

◆ setIndexAliases()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::setIndexAliases ( array $aliases)

Convert certain index names to alternative names before querying the DB.

Note that this applies to indexes regardless of the table they belong to.

This can be employed when an index was renamed X => Y in code, but the new Y-named indexes were not yet built on all DBs. After all the Y-named ones are added by the DBA, the aliases can be removed, and then the old X-named indexes dropped.

Parameters
string[]$aliases
Since
1.31 in IDatabase, moved to ISQLPlatform in 1.39

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

◆ setSchemaVars()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::setSchemaVars ( $vars)

Set schema variables to be used when streaming commands from SQL files or stdin.

Variables appear as SQL comments and are substituted by their corresponding values

Parameters
array | null$varsMap of (variable => value) or null to use the defaults

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

◆ setTableAliases()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::setTableAliases ( array $aliases)

Make certain table names use their own database, schema, and table prefix when passed into SQL queries pre-escaped and without a qualified database name.

For example, "user" can be converted to "myschema.mydbname.user" for convenience. Appearances like user, somedb.user, somedb.someschema.user will used literally.

Calling this twice will completely clear any old table aliases. Also, note that callers are responsible for making sure the schemas and databases actually exist.

Parameters
array[]$aliasesMap of (table => (dbname, schema, prefix) map)
Since
1.28 in IDatabase, moved to ISQLPlatform in 1.39

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseSqlite, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\SQLPlatform.

◆ strreplace()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::strreplace ( $orig,
$old,
$new )

Returns a SQL expression for simple string replacement (e.g.

REPLACE() in mysql)

Parameters
string$origColumn to modify
string$oldColumn to seek
string$newColumn to replace with
Returns
string

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

◆ tableName()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::tableName ( string $name,
$format = 'quoted' )

Format a table name ready for use in constructing an SQL query.

This does two important things: it quotes the table names to clean them up, and it adds a table prefix if only given a table name with no quotes.

All functions of this object which require a table name call this function themselves. Pass the canonical name to such functions. This is only needed when calling query() directly.

Note
This function does not sanitize user input. It is not safe to use this function to escape user input.
Parameters
string$nameDatabase table name
string$formatOne of: quoted - Automatically pass the table name through addIdentifierQuotes() so that it can be used in a query. raw - Do not add identifier quotes to the table name
Returns
string Full database name

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\SqlitePlatform, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\SQLPlatform.

Referenced by SqlBagOStuff\createTables().

◆ tableNames()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::tableNames ( $tables)

Fetch a number of table names into an associative array.

Much like tableName(), this is only needed when calling query() directly. Prefer calling other methods, or using SelectQueryBuilder.

Theoretical example (which really does not require raw SQL):

[ 'user' => $user, 'watchlist' => $watchlist ] =
$dbr->tableNames( 'user', 'watchlist' );
$sql = "SELECT wl_namespace, wl_title FROM $watchlist, $user
WHERE wl_user=user_id AND wl_user=$nameWithQuotes";
Parameters
string...$tables
Returns
array
Deprecated
since 1.39; if you must format table names, write several calls to tableName or use tableNamesN instead of calling this function.

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

◆ tableNamesN()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\Platform\ISQLPlatform::tableNamesN ( $tables)

Fetch a number of table names into a zero-indexed numerical array.

Much like tableName(), this is only needed when calling query() directly. It is slightly more convenient than tableNames(), but you should still prefer calling other methods, or using SelectQueryBuilder.

Theoretical example (which really does not require raw SQL):

[ $user, $watchlist ] = $dbr->tableNamesN( 'user', 'watchlist' );
$sql = "SELECT wl_namespace,wl_title FROM $watchlist,$user
WHERE wl_user=user_id AND wl_user=$nameWithQuotes";
Parameters
string...$tables
Returns
array
Deprecated
Since 1.43; if you must format table names, write several calls to tableName.
