There's no need to flame other open-source projects here. We have code that's at least as awful if not more so, including *plenty* of places where we still call $dbr->query() directly (like everything based on QueryPage). As far as I know, our abstraction layer was devised by Domas early on in MediaWiki's existence. If he hadn't decided to go in that direction, we'd likely be using something similar. Besides, ugly or not, their multi-DB support looks to be a lot better than ours. As far as I know, MediaWiki barely works at all on anything other than MySQL and pgsql, and doesn't work fully on the latter either (various maintenance scripts, extensions, etc.). _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
