Avoid the use of deprecated MariaDB "zero dates" globally. If they're present
as attribute defaults somewhere, they will be replaced with NULL implicitly.
The existing "zero dates" in MariaDB storage will be left intact and this
should not present any issues.
The "timestamp" type in table definitions now corresponds to DATETIME in
MariaDB with "DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP", which
should be close enough to the original behaviour for compatibility purposes.
It is now the recommended type for "modified" attributes, because of the
update trigger on MariaDB. But there is no such trigger implemented on
PostgreSQL as of this moment.
Make common_sql_weight employ standard SQL functions for the timestamp
difference in seconds.
Also replace UTC_TIMESTAMP in the MariaDB-specific part with CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
as it is the only occurence and GNU social sets UTC as a default timezone.
In a delete_orphan_files.php script simplify the main query considerably.
In clean_profiles.php stop using COUNT as if it is ANY, that is unnecessary
punishment for the database. Instead implement the anti-join with a
left outer join.
In Autocomplete and Activitypub_profile use joins instead of a WHERE OR
anti-pattern for the semi-joins.
In lib/ui/galleryaction.php replace a CROSS JOIN with an INNER JOIN.
In actions/sup.php remove a redundant subquery: WHERE is applied before
grouping either way.
The code used to operate under the assumption that MariaDB doesn't support
quoting identifiers. Not only is that not exactly true, but MariaDB has
reserved keywords that cannot be used as table or column names unquoted.
For reference (raised by rozzin in IRC):
* http://foldoc.org/module
* http://foldoc.org/library
* http://foldoc.org/plugin
As noted by XRevan86, modules are not necessarily non-essential.
As we will keep the modules directory in GS root [therefore, near to
plugins/], it is evidenced the difference between both.
This is a simple yet fundamental structural change. It doesn't change
functionality but makes clearer the way we understand GNU social's
internals.
Seriously improved documentation
