Reasons for failures included an unhandled error code, erroneous sorting
assumptions, and a broken computation of the next insert ID in tests
Five failures remain.
This involved changes to the driver interface as well as the database
schemata. The most significantly altered queries were for article
selection and marking, which relied upon unusual features of SQLite.
Overall query efficiency should not be adversely affected (it may have
even imprved) in the common case, while very rare cases (not presently
triggered by any REST handlers) require more queries.
One notable benefit of these changes is that functions which query
articles can now have complete control over which columns are returned.
This has not, however, been implemented yet: symbolic column groups are
still used for now.
Note that PostgreSQL still fails many tests, but the test suite runs to
completion. Note also that one line of the Database class is not
covered; later changes will eventually make it easier to cover the line
in question.
PDO does not adequately inform PostgreSQL of a parameter's type, so type
casts are required. Rather than adding these to each query manually, the
queries are instead processed to add type hints automatically.
Unfortunately the queries are processed rather naively; question-mark
characters in string constants, identifiers, regex patterns, or geometry
operators will break things spectacularly.
Also move date formats to the ValueInfo class
Standardizing on immutables avoids any possible ambiguity in the API of the resultant value, as well as any ambiguity as to whether a DateTime output instance is the same instance or a clone (they had been clones)
The changes in this commit should make it more practical to:
- Allow the driver to decide for itself whether to try creating a PDO object if its own requirements are not met
- Have any driver use a generic schema update procedure
- Use the same constructor for native and PDO SQLite

Also added an AUTHORS file on the off chance of outside contributions
This introduces a data model function of unusual privilege: it can retrieve favicon URLs for any subscription, regardless of user ID. This is a single-purpose hack and its use should be avoided if at all possible.
This required adding the "notes" column to the arsse_marks table and adding same as a target value in Database::articleMark()
The Context class was also adjusted to remove the possibility of false positives in some tests
Queries for multiple specific articles are limited in size because of limits on the number of bound query parameters.
Currently this limit is somewhat arbitrarily set at 50, but it may increase.
Historically controllers would be responsible for chunking input, but this will present problems when the expected output is a result set, and of course the maintenance burden increases as the number of controllers increases.
This commit transfers the burden to the data model, and consequently introduces a ResultAggregate class which collects chunked result sets (currently only for articleList).
In the course of making these changes the mock Result class was also largely rewritten, fixing many bugs with it.
This commit does not modify the controllers nor their tests; this will be done in a subsequent commit.
Also consolidated article star counting into a generic articleCount function which accepts a context.
This may lead to slight efficiency losses in either listing or marking (and more significant ones in counting starred), but the advantages of centralized context handling are significant with the future addition of labels and the need to count articles under various future contexts in TTRSS.
- Backend functions for adding, listing, removing, and editing (renaming) labels currently implemented
- TTRSS functions for adding (fixes#96), removing (fixes#97), and renaming (fixes#98) labels currently implemented
