[Wikitech-l] How do MS SQL users install MediaWiki?
I was looking for a way to test my fix to https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64338 and, having spent so much time on MediaWiki, I thought MW would provide a good way to test the connection to a MS SQL database. I was somewhat surprised to see that even though we have a db/DatabaseMssql.php, we don't have a installer/MssqlInstaller.php. I imagine this is because when the installer was re-written, no one was around to implement it for MS SQL. Are SQL Server users just updating their old MW installations? -- http://hexmode.com/ Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them?

Re: [Wikitech-l] How do MS SQL users install MediaWiki?
I don't know what others have done, but I have generally been able to just add the MSSQL option to the installation scripts and install as for other DBMSs and update the code to parallel the changes that have been made for the MySQL driver. My updates typically don't get added into the git repository. I'd like to remedy that, especially since I intend to spend time on the code again. I never did get to the point where it was obvious how the setup would incorporate the alternative storage architecture for Azure (storing the media in Azure blobs). That would probably be the next thing for me. On Sun, Mar 3, 2013 at 4:21 PM, Mark A.

Are SQL Server users just updating their old MW installations? Given the installer has been around for a few years, I guess we should simply drop Microsoft SQL server support. There is no point in keeping unused and bit rotting code. The same probably applies to DB2. -- Antoine hashar Musso ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
