518 *
519 * @param string|array $vars
520 *
521 * May be either a field name or an array of field names. The field names
522 * can be complete fragments of SQL, for direct inclusion into the SELECT
523 * query. If an array is given, field aliases can be specified, for example:
524 *
525 * array( 'maxrev' => 'MAX(rev_id)' )
526 *
527 * This includes an expression with the alias "maxrev" in the query.
528 *

530 * DBMS-independent.
531 *
532 *
533 * @param string|array $conds
534 *
535 * May be either a string containing a single condition, or an array of
536 * conditions. If an array is given, the conditions constructed from each
537 * element are combined with AND.
538 *
539 * Array elements may take one of two forms:
540 *
541 * - Elements with a numeric key are interpreted as raw SQL fragments.
542 * - Elements with a string key are interpreted as equality conditions,
543 * where the key is the field name.
544 * - If the value of such an array element is a scalar (such as a
545 * string), it will be treated as data and thus quoted appropriately.
546 * If it is null, an IS NULL clause will be added.
547 * - If the value is an array, an IN (...) clause will be constructed
548 * from its non-null elements, and an IS NULL clause will be added
549 * if null is present, such that the field may match any of the
550 * elements in the array. The non-null elements will be quoted.
551 *
552 * Note that expressions are often DBMS-dependent in their syntax.
553 * DBMS-independent wrappers are provided for constructing several types of
554 * expression commonly used in condition queries. See:
555 * - IDatabase::buildLike()
556 * - IDatabase::conditional()
557 *
558 *
559 * @param string|array $options
560 *
561 * Optional: Array of query options. Boolean options are specified by
562 * including them in the array as a string value with a numeric key, for
563 * example:
564 *
565 * array( 'FOR UPDATE' )
566 *
567 * The supported options are:
568 *
569 * - OFFSET: Skip this many rows at the start of the result set. OFFSET
570 * with LIMIT can theoretically be used for paging through a result set,
571 * but this is discouraged in MediaWiki for performance reasons.
572 *
573 * - LIMIT: Integer: return at most this many rows. The rows are sorted
574 * and then the first rows are taken until the limit is reached. LIMIT
575 * is applied to a result set after OFFSET.
576 *
577 * - FOR UPDATE: Boolean: lock the returned rows so that they can't be
578 * changed until the next COMMIT.
579 *
580 * - DISTINCT: Boolean: return only unique result rows.
581 *
582 * - GROUP BY: May be either an SQL fragment string naming a field or
583 * expression to group by, or an array of such SQL fragments.
584 *
585 * - HAVING: May be either an string containing a HAVING clause or an array of
586 * conditions building the HAVING clause. If an array is given, the conditions
587 * constructed from each element are combined with AND.
588 *
589 * - ORDER BY: May be either an SQL fragment giving a field name or
590 * expression to order by, or an array of such SQL fragments.
591 *
592 * - USE INDEX: This may be either a string giving the index name to use
593 * for the query, or an array. If it is an associative array, each key
594 * gives the table name (or alias), each value gives the index name to
595 * use for that table. All strings are SQL fragments and so should be
596 * validated by the caller.
597 *
598 * - EXPLAIN: In MySQL, this causes an EXPLAIN SELECT query to be run,
599 * instead of SELECT.
600 *
601 * And also the following boolean MySQL extensions, see the MySQL manual
602 * for documentation:
603 *
604 * - LOCK IN SHARE MODE
605 * - STRAIGHT_JOIN
606 * - HIGH_PRIORITY
607 * - SQL_BIG_RESULT
608 * - SQL_BUFFER_RESULT
609 * - SQL_SMALL_RESULT
610 * - SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS
611 * - SQL_CACHE
612 * - SQL_NO_CACHE
613 *
614 *
615 * @param string|array $join_conds
616 *
617 * Optional associative array of table-specific join conditions. In the
618 * most common case, this is unnecessary, since the join condition can be
619 * in $conds. However, it is useful for doing a LEFT JOIN.
620 *
621 * The key of the array contains the table name or alias. The value is an
622 * array with two elements, numbered 0 and 1. The first gives the type of
623 * join, the second is an SQL fragment giving the join condition for that
624 * table. For example:
625 *
