453 * @param mixed $res A SQL result
455 public function freeResult( $res );
458 * A SELECT wrapper which returns a single field from a single result row.

504 * @param string|array $table Table name
505 * @param string|array $vars Field names
506 * @param string|array $conds Conditions
507 * @param string $fname Caller function name
508 * @param array $options Query options
509 * @param array $join_conds Join conditions
512 * @param string|array $table
514 * May be either an array of table names, or a single string holding a table
515 * name. If an array is given, table aliases can be specified, for example:
517 * array( 'a' => 'user' )
519 * This includes the user table in the query, with the alias "a" available
520 * for use in field names (e.g. a.user_name).
522 * All of the table names given here are automatically run through
523 * IDatabase::tableName(), which causes the table prefix (if any) to be
524 * added, and various other table name mappings to be performed.
527 * @param string|array $vars
529 * May be either a field name or an array of field names. The field names
530 * can be complete fragments of SQL, for direct inclusion into the SELECT
531 * query. If an array is given, field aliases can be specified, for example:
533 * array( 'maxrev' => 'MAX(rev_id)' )
535 * This includes an expression with the alias "maxrev" in the query.
537 * If an expression is given, care must be taken to ensure that it is
538 * DBMS-independent.
541 * @param string|array $conds
543 * May be either a string containing a single condition, or an array of
544 * conditions. If an array is given, the conditions constructed from each
545 * element are combined with AND.
547 * Array elements may take one of two forms:
549 * - Elements with a numeric key are interpreted as raw SQL fragments.
550 * - Elements with a string key are interpreted as equality conditions,
551 * where the key is the field name.
552 * - If the value of such an array element is a scalar (such as a
553 * string), it will be treated as data and thus quoted appropriately.
554 * If it is null, an IS NULL clause will be added.
555 * - If the value is an array, an IN (...) clause will be constructed
556 * from its non-null elements, and an IS NULL clause will be added
557 * if null is present, such that the field may match any of the
558 * elements in the array. The non-null elements will be quoted.
560 * Note that expressions are often DBMS-dependent in their syntax.
561 * DBMS-independent wrappers are provided for constructing several types of
562 * expression commonly used in condition queries. See:
563 * - IDatabase::buildLike()
564 * - IDatabase::conditional()
567 * @param string|array $options
569 * Optional: Array of query options. Boolean options are specified by
570 * including them in the array as a string value with a numeric key, for
571 * example:
573 * array( 'FOR UPDATE' )
575 * The supported options are:
577 * - OFFSET: Skip this many rows at the start of the result set. OFFSET
578 * with LIMIT can theoretically be used for paging through a result set,
579 * but this is discouraged in MediaWiki for performance reasons.
581 * - LIMIT: Integer: return at most this many rows. The rows are sorted
582 * and then the first rows are taken until the limit is reached. LIMIT
583 * is applied to a result set after OFFSET.
585 * - FOR UPDATE: Boolean: lock the returned rows so that they can't be
586 * changed until the next COMMIT.
588 * - DISTINCT: Boolean: return only unique result rows.
590 * - GROUP BY: May be either an SQL fragment string naming a field or
591 * expression to group by, or an array of such SQL fragments.
593 * - HAVING: May be either an string containing a HAVING clause or an array of
594 * conditions building the HAVING clause. If an array is given, the conditions
595 * constructed from each element are combined with AND.
597 * - ORDER BY: May be either an SQL fragment giving a field name or
598 * expression to order by, or an array of such SQL fragments.
600 * - USE INDEX: This may be either a string giving the index name to use
601 * for the query, or an array. If it is an associative array, each key
602 * gives the table name (or alias), each value gives the index name to
603 * use for that table. All strings are SQL fragments and so should be
604 * validated by the caller.
606 * - EXPLAIN: In MySQL, this causes an EXPLAIN SELECT query to be run,
607 * instead of SELECT.
609 * And also the following boolean MySQL extensions, see the MySQL manual
610 * for documentation:
612 * - LOCK IN SHARE MODE
613 * - STRAIGHT_JOIN
614 * - HIGH_PRIORITY
615 * - SQL_BIG_RESULT
616 * - SQL_BUFFER_RESULT
617 * - SQL_SMALL_RESULT
618 * - SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS
619 * - SQL_CACHE
620 * - SQL_NO_CACHE
623 * @param string|array $join_conds
625 * Optional associative array of table-specific join conditions. In the
626 * most common case, this is unnecessary, since the join condition can be
627 * in $conds. However, it is useful for doing a LEFT JOIN.
629 * The key of the array contains the table name or alias. The value is an
630 * array with two elements, numbered 0 and 1. The first gives the type of
631 * join, the second is an SQL fragment giving the join condition for that
632 * table. For example:
634 * array( 'page' => array( 'LEFT JOIN', 'page_latest=rev_id' ) )
636 * @return ResultWrapper|bool If the query returned no rows, a ResultWrapper
637 * with no rows in it will be returned. If there was a query error, a
638 * DBQueryError exception will be thrown, except if the "ignore errors"
639 * option was set, in which case false will be returned.
641 public function select(
642 $table, $vars, $conds = '', $fname = __METHOD__,
643 $options = array(), $join_conds = array()
647 * The equivalent of IDatabase::select() except that the constructed SQL
648 * is returned, instead of being immediately executed. This can be useful for

772 * INSERT wrapper, inserts an array into a table.
774 * $a may be either:
776 * - A single associative array. The array keys are the field names, and
777 * the values are the values to insert. The values are treated as data
778 * and will be quoted appropriately. If NULL is inserted, this will be
779 * converted to a database NULL.
780 * - An array with numeric keys, holding a list of associative arrays.
781 * This causes a multi-row INSERT on DBMSs that support it. The keys in
782 * each subarray must be identical to each other, and in the same order.
784 * Usually throws a DBQueryError on failure. If errors are explicitly ignored,
785 * returns success.
787 * $options is an array of options, with boolean options encoded as values
788 * with numeric keys, in the same style as $options in
789 * IDatabase::select(). Supported options are:
791 * - IGNORE: Boolean: if present, duplicate key errors are ignored, and

885 * This is useful for combining a field for several rows into a single string.
886 * NULL values will not appear in the output, duplicated values will appear,

933 * escaped or tokens returned by anyChar() or anyString(). Alternatively,
934 * the function could be provided with an array of aforementioned

937 * Example: $dbr->buildLike( 'My_page_title/', $dbr->anyString() ) returns
938 * a LIKE clause that searches for subpages of 'My page title'.
939 * Alternatively:
940 * $pattern = array( 'My_page_title/', $dbr->anyString() );
941 * $query .= $dbr->buildLike( $pattern );
943 * @since 1.16

976 * REPLACE query wrapper.
978 * REPLACE is a very handy MySQL extension, which functions like an INSERT
979 * except that when there is a duplicate key error, the old row is deleted
980 * and the new row is inserted in its place.
982 * We simulate this with standard SQL with a DELETE followed by INSERT. To
983 * perform the delete, we need to know what the unique indexes are so that
984 * we know how to find the conflicting rows.
986 * It may be more efficient to leave off unique indexes which are unlikely
987 * to collide. However if you do this, you run the risk of encountering
988 * errors which wouldn't have occurred in MySQL.
990 * @param string $table The table to replace the row(s) in.
991 * @param array $uniqueIndexes Is an array of indexes. Each element may be either
992 * a field name or an array of field names
993 * @param array $rows Can be either a single row to insert, or multiple rows,
994 * in the same format as for IDatabase::insert()
995 * @param string $fname Calling function name (use __METHOD__) for logs/profiling
997 public function replace( $table, $uniqueIndexes, $rows, $fname = __METHOD__ );
1000 * INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE wrapper, upserts an array into a table.
1002 * This updates any conflicting rows (according to the unique indexes) using
1003 * the provided SET clause and inserts any remaining (non-conflicted) rows.
1005 * $rows may be either:
1006 * - A single associative array. The array keys are the field names, and
1007 * the values are the values to insert. The values are treated as data
1008 * and will be quoted appropriately. If NULL is inserted, this will be
1009 * converted to a database NULL.
1010 * - An array with numeric keys, holding a list of associative arrays.
1011 * This causes a multi-row INSERT on DBMSs that support it. The keys in
