Commited Gerrit change #35659

No longer support for this commit by me.

Change 42278 restored by Umherirrender:
(bug 40667) deprecate rc_cur_time of recentchanges

Reason:
Column is still unused and should dropped same day.
Start with removing it from sql statements.

Is there a bug tracking dropping database columns from MediaWiki core?

Change 42278 merged by jenkins-bot:
Remove recentchanges.rc_cur_time from sql statements

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/42278

Field was removed from sql statements.

Milestone is now 1.24

Keeping the field until 1.24 allows easier rollback on version update from 1.22 -> 1.23, when something gets wrong with the new version.

I am now getting

Query: INSERT INTO "recentchanges" (rc_timestamp,rc_namespace,rc_title,rc_type,rc_source,rc_minor,rc_cur_id,rc_user,rc_user_text,rc_comment,rc_this_oldid,rc_last_oldid,rc_bot,rc_ip,rc_patrolled,rc_new,rc_old_len,rc_new_len,rc_deleted,rc_logid,rc_log_type,rc_log_action,rc_params,rc_id) VALUES ('2013-12-04 10:54:26 GMT','0','Main_Page','1','mw.new','0','1','0','MediaWiki default',,'1','0','0','127.0.0.1','0','1','0','524','0','0',NULL,,,'1')
Function: RecentChange::save
Error: 23502 ERROR: null value in column "rc_cur_time" violates not-null constraint

when installing git master (now at 0a54e70cdd2162be4b331aacb79ad5a3926dd2c6) on PostgreSQL.

Submitted gerrit change 99068 to revert this for now.

To reiterate what I said in the code review for gerrit change 99068:

I think that the commit should remove the field from both SQL as well as all table definitions and add updater definitions for three major databases as you did in the original gerrit change. WMF is using neither installer nor updater so I believe they can live with it.

This way was used to avoid the third party updaters to restore his database,
when he have to downgrade (or roll back the upgrade).
