Summary: maintenance/sql.php should use
Maintenance::readConsole to provide readline editing
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.18-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Maintenance scripts
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: br...@pobox.com
CC: innocentkil...@gmail.com
sql.php seems to be optimized for running pre-prepared scripts, which is all
well and good but it would be nice to get the GNU readline goodies when stdin
is actually a terminal.
The readline stuff is encapsulated in Maintenance::readConsole() which'll
return a line at a time.
Looks like sql.php sends stdin straight into Database::sourceStream() which
does fgets() directly... that'll probably need to be extended to add a callback
to override the actual reading, or else clever use of stream wrappers. :)
