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.
This sees the addition of a dateOutFormat parameter to ValueInfo::normalize(), as well as a general simplification of how parameter binding works.
Some value type-casting results are slightly different, but this simply makes SQL statement objects consistent with the rest of the system.
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

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.
- Result sets are now single-use; this is required for PDO drivers (PDO result sets are not rewindable)
- Change savepoint exceptions to be simple database exceptions; codes remain the same
- Specifying a non-integer parent no longer silently casts to 0 or 1
- Specifying a folder ID of 0 now always converts to null automatically
- Performing both a rename and move to root in the same operation no longer results in potential duplicates
- Calling folderSetProperties with an empty data array no peforms an update; it now returns false before the update call
- Modification timestamps are now actually updated when a folder is modified
- Constraint violation exceptions triggered by code (rather than the database) now print a message
- Renaming a folder or subscription to a non-string value (e.g. an array) throws an exception rather than silently casting
- Added tests to better cover all the above
- Centralized the normalization of integers and title strings into a new ValueInfo static class
- Added a 'user add' function to the CLI
- Removed the last trace of paths from configuration; paths must default to null and Arsse must determine sensible defaults at runtime
- Don't load a config (and possibly create a database) in CLI if a configuration is not required
- Removed the 'dbSchemaBase' config option, which is really a testing hack
- Added sample Nginx configuration
- Fixed bug in REST handler
- Readme still needs work
