Scott Sumner of Bentley University and blogger at The Money Illusion talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the basics of money, monetary policy, and the Fed. After a discussion of some of the basics of the money supply, Sumner explains why he thinks monetary policy in the United States during and since the crisis has been inadequate. Sumner stresses the importance of the Fed setting expectations and he argues for the dominance of monetary policy over fiscal policy.
Scott Sumner of Bentley University and the blog The Money Illusion talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the state of monetary policy, the actions of the Federal Reserve over the past two years and the state of the economy. Sumner argues that monetary policy has been too tight and helped create the crisis. He disputes the relevance of the so-called liquidity trap and argues that aggressive monetary policy is both possible and desirable. The conversation closes with a discussion of what we have learned and failed to learn during the crisis.
Scott Sumner of Bentley University and the blog, The Money Illusion, talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the last 30 years of economic policy and macroeconomic success and failure. Sumner argues that there was a neoliberalism revolution beginning in the 1980s around the world, an era of deregulation, privatization and falling marginal tax rates. Sumner argues that the states that liberalized the most had the most successful economic results. Roberts argues that it is difficult to assess the independent effect of various policy changes and points to many areas--in the United States at least--where government involvement increased in important parts of the economy, and Sumner responds. Sumner also talks about the importance of culture in economic performance.
Scott Sumner of Bentley University and the blog The Money Illusion talks with host Russ Roberts about monetary policy and the state of the economy. Sumner argues that tight money in late 2008 precipitated the recession. He argues that the standard measures of monetary policy--growth in reserves or the Federal Funds rate--are misleading. Sumner suggests focusing instead on nominal GDP. He argues that the failure of the Fed to counter the drop in nominal GDP in late 2008 intensified the recession and points to the growth in unemployment. Along the way he discusses the Taylor Rule and other monetary prescriptions.

Barnstorming season is over.For two weeks every August, prep football players and coaches work and sweat together, then greet the media to discuss their hopes and plans for the campaign ahead. The key word is "hope," for even the players on teams that few expect much from have that light in their eyes. Anything can happen on Friday nights. Maybe this year, it even happens for them.Hope always wins in August and early September. But as summer wilts into fall, reality creeps in like shadows, like spooky music. Most football teams see their playoff chances snuffed. The hope of August is a summer flame that grows smaller week by week. By November, only a few of the best, hardiest teams will carry it forward.Your team begins its 2014 season this week, readers.Here's hoping.

Had to check-in & see what's up. I'm more of a balsa guy at this scale, but I'm interested in seeing how the VA performs in higher winds, and I'm interested in how the system behaves across a wide speed envelope in a 50"-class plane with large control surfaces. Given than the Beast 3D laughs at 25 MPH winds, this bird aught to laugh at 35+ MPH winds. If so, I may put an AR635 in my 48" PA Extra 260. At 9 oz/sq ft & 32 oz AUW with a 3s 2200, it's not much fun in turbulence or even light gusts, but 240W/pound & 10-15 minute flights on a 3s 2200 is nice. Seems like a great candidate for a stab/aug system. Chuck, Looking forward to your flight-test! Joel |

Actually, I have flown my Sbach 3D and Beast 3D in some serious wind, 1/2 throttle and it flys backwards, and it was a ton of fun. My MAIDEN with the Sbach was in such conditions. Stationary snap rolls, followed by a hover landing. TOO FUN. The AS3X tech is absolutely amazing. Marlin SBach Maiden Flight Video Joel flying in strong winds! |

A second to this motion - You just won't ever find anyone at the flying field in our neck of the woods when wind is 25 mph. 10-15 is about all I consider for enjoying rc flying, but I'm far from expert. I have on occasion went out and played in 20 mph, but it wasn't really fun for very long.
Jan 09, 2013, 08:48 AM | |||
Looking back, I am very glad that I took the time to get comfortable flying in higher winds during my first season. Joel |

About wind:
Most of us fly for the adrenaline rush we get out of it. Personally, I hate flying in anything over 10mph. But for some, flying in high wind simply give them the same adrenaline rush (while simply trying to fly straight) that we get when we push our "3D skills" in no wind. End result is the same, adrenaline wise and they do get more flight time/windows. But as I said, having to rush to pick up your airplane after landing so it doesn't get blown away is not worth it for me. I prefer to wait for better days, and bring tons of batteries. |
Jan 09, 2013, 10:59 AM | |
You nailed it. I simply get a kick out of flying in high winds. I often find myself laughing out loud during the flights, and I'm usually still chuckling on my way back to the pits. Oh - and I often have to keep some power on & fly the plane on the ground as I walk over to pick it up. Some aspects of wind-surfing RC planes remind me of racing catamarans back when I was a high-school kid. I'd love to try DSS!! Joel |
Jan 09, 2013, 01:33 PM | ||
I suspect that AS3X isn't something that can be modeled very well in the simulator. I've noticed that none of the HH AS3X planes are in Phoenix. (Actually, I think none of the HH micro and ultra micro planes are in Phoenix whether they're AS3X or not.) But since the AS3X can be turned on and off on the VisionAire and it's larger than a micro, maybe a non-stabilized version could end up in Phoenix? I'd love to see the Edge 540QQ in there, too. |

Soy-Lemon Dipping Sauce
Tamari soy sauce is similar to regular soy sauce but is slightly thicker and has a richer flavor. It is available at most grocery stores. Besides being the perfect condiment for the tofu, this sauce makes a nice addition to the soba noodles -- just drizzle a little bit on top. This recipe is also featured in "Martha Stewart's Dinner at Home."
Soy-Lemon Flank Steak with Arugula
It's a good idea to place the plastic bag holding the steak and marinade on a rimmed baking sheet or in a baking dish, in case of any leaks. This recipe is one of our Better Basics: 10 New Takes on Family Favorites, see the others.

"scale of threatening behavior is without precedent"??? Seriously?
"scale of threatening behavior is without precedent"??? Seriously?
pretty sure no one said the word "abomination" in biblical times.
Interesting how this article only comes after a good report and not the bad reports - that were later revised upward. Very interesting.
The last one comes is a National Weather Service text. there are people who don't own an iphone. They got the text too.
The only reason Texas was able to "balance" its budget was with help from the federal government. LOL.
"younger Republicans who would speak for the record almost universally rejected the notion that the party has gone broadly astray — it just has a communications problem." So in the end, these "young republicans" are exactly like the "elders"… the failures will continue.
karl rove just barely stopped himself from muttering the n-word ("nerds")
Japan is Germany's path to the sea!
The actual reason the line is so long: Republicans are actively making voting more difficult in areas that might lean Democratic. Republicans are simply horrible and anti-democratic.
Agreed this isn't proper. However, it's telling that BuzzFeed has this post, but not one on the fact that right-wing True The Vote has been blocked from monitoring in Ohio for the very real accusation/crime of FORGING applications.
right-wing extremists itching to commit murder. no surprise.
Data + Reality vs right-wing fantasy. Never a fair matchup.
Numbers don't actually mean anything to Romney, nothing he says is true or genuine.
LOL, i saw someone respond on twitter that 2004 was on a weekend, versus Monday for this year. So, people are working!
socialist how…? no one ever details these stupid rants, because it's all made up in your childish imagination you make up to feel better.
And…? Totally context-free. Obama's been to WI a ton already. How about the weather? More people are busy working thanks to the improving economy? Fewer people as enthusiastic as 2008? GASP! doesn't necessarily mean anything, but you are trying to make it seem like it means something.
last I checked, SI is still New York, so where's all the effusive posts about helping out SI? Not enough hipsters? NYC hypocrites.
and you voted for Sarah Palin?
if it adversely affected the running performance of the top tiny percentage of elite runners in the marathon, but all in the same relative magnitude… it still completely pales in comparison with how others are ACTUALLY hurting in other parts of the area. move those generators!
Don't forget "Continued to ignore Staten Island"…
Right, because that's clearly what he meant to say… what stupidity. Romney: "I like to fire people".
2010 elections as well. "odds of winning" is not the same thing as "poll result". once you understand that, then come back.
Ah, the triumph of "social". On many levels, "social" is equivalent with "mob mentality".
So much wrong with this sentence: "Silver has become the most trusted source in polls, if you're an Obama supporter." It doesn't matter to BuzzFeed that his model has been successful in past elections. It only matters that liberals "cling" to reality, and so whatever it is must be smashed. To BuzzFeed and Republicans, only the narrative matters. An advisor spouting ramblings of "momentum" are more accurate than proven statistical analysis. If you're a Romney supporter.

Tips over Jack from Topeka, KS– Verified Buyer The stands are nice looking. The base of the stands need to be bigger as they tip over very easily! That makes it very frustrating! We would not purchase this particular design again for that reason. The process of ordering and receiving the produce was great. |
Nice! Tom from Seattle, WA– Verified Buyer Once I had the assembly done, and the speakers attached, these stands are a very nice, elegant looking setup. |
Pros/Cons for the units L from Maumelle, AR– Verified Buyer Pros: Price Point & Overall appearance, Exterior Quality outstanding. |
Horrible! Does not hold speaker! Lynsey from Gaithersburg, MD– Verified Buyer All that holds the speaker on is a sticky tape! Our speaker was well below the weight maximum, but only about one hour after assembling this, the speaker fell off backwards, bringing down the whole stand, making a scratch on our hardwood floor and creating a nick in our drywall. Not happy! |

Got my third fix from Stitchfix this week and thought I'd share a few more thoughts. I shared my last blog post and pictures with my stylist, pinned many examples on the board she sees on Pinterest and gave detailed feedback on my checkout page. I think all of these things really helped to get a fix that was really great this time around.
I specifically asked for a white tunic blouse, a black skirt and an neutral cardigan:
Margaret M Christiana Skirt - Black R D Style Vivianna Open-Draped Knit Cardigan Daniel Rainn Minal V-neck 3/4 sleeve Solid Blouse |
Thank you, Amanda. You rocked this.
Also in my fix, this cotton voile blouse in navy blue:
Fun2Fun Aurora Tab-Sleeve Blouse Mavi Ruxin Boyfriend Jean |
This shirt, shown paired with jeans from my first fix, is going to be a favorite. When I first saw it, I thought it would be too small and would just make me feel bad, but it fits beautifully and I like everything about it. It is slimming and cool and a little bit tough. It's perfect for me. I feel like myself in it.
Loveappella Tori V-neck Knit Top |
Rune Porter Legging |
This was almost a complete win, but sadly, this shirt does me no favors. I kind of bitterly hate it in a way that really makes no sense. I mean, it's an article of clothing, not a terrorist, but sometimes clothes are weird that way. However, if you buy all the items, you get such a big discount, it was worth it to keep it. I am shamelessly going to wear it as pajamas. Or, you know...the outfit I roll out of the house in to drop kids off at school and go back home to waste time on the internet. It's that kind of shirt.
This fix was the one that tied everything together for me. I can now put together dozens of outfits for any occasion. I had some fun for the first time in a long time just mixing things together to see what would work. It might seem shallow in the face of all the things that are happening in the world,
but a little self-care so that I can take good care of others is a healthy thing. So far, this service continues to be worth it for me. That was especially obvious to me as I have now gotten rid of nearly everything I bought for myself to wear post-baby because it didn't fit right, looked bad on me, or has fallen apart. Confirmation that a little quality over quantity is a good practice.
So, once again, if you decide you would like to try Stitchfix, consider using my referral code.

Apples and Oranges: A Linux DBMS Comparison - page 4
Introducing the Series
Downloading mSQL is not as uncomplicated as downloading PostgreSQL or MySQL, but then, the distribution is much smaller, too. Start out from Hughes Technologies Web page and look for further instructions. To download mSQL, one needs to first register with the site and go through a CGI-based downloading system which allows choice between a couple of mirrors if necessary. Building and installing mSQL is a matter of the following steps:
- Untar it and change into the source directory tree:
tar -xvzf msql-2.0.11.tar.gz cd msql-2.0.11
- Generate the target definitions:
make target
- Change into the target directory for your platform:
cd targets/Linux-2.2.12-i586
- Configure the package:
- Edit site.mm; I only changed the installation path into /opt/msql.
- Build it:
make all
- Install it as root:
make install
After building and installing mSQL, you'll need to configure it:
- As root, create the msql user:
useradd -c "mSQL Administrator" -d /opt/msql -g users msql
- As root, give the tree to the msql user:
chown -R msql.users /opt/msql

Political pundit on the latest from Washington, D.C.
Amid claims of violations, Kentucky sues EPA over coal regulations
Kentucky's governor says the EPA is overstepping its bounds. Other groups contradict his claims of looking out for the environment.
Tue, Oct 19, 2010 at 03:56 PM
JOINING THE PARTY: Kentucky, like West Virginia, is suing the Environmental Protection Agency over mining regulation. (PHOTO: Zuma Press Inc.)
Suing the Environmental Protection Agency is all the rage these days and Kentucky is joining the party
Kentucky's Governor, Steve Beshear, joined forces with the Kentucky Coal Association and filed suit against the EPA this week over the agency's blocking of coal mining permits in the Blue Grass State. The block came back in April when the EPA filed a memo that stated the new permits didn't jive with clean water standards. The lawsuit against the EPA, which was filed in U.S. District Court, claims the EPA's decision is a violation of the 1977 Clean Water Act.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports that Bill Bissett of the Kentucky Coal Association wrote an email where he said the EPA is undertaking an "illegal agenda to end coal mining in Kentucky."
As for Beshear, he isn't holding back either. The governor released a press release saying, "Kentucky can and does mine coal while at the same time protecting Kentucky's environment."
While Beshear's comments are direct, they don't match up with several accounts from organizations within his own state. A quick search on the Herald-Leader's website reveals that several groups claim Kentucky isn't doing all it can to mine coal while protecting Kentucky's environment, as the governor claimed. One report from earlier in the month claims that two Kentucky mine companies have violated the 1977 Clean Water Act 20,000 times over the last two years. Specifically, the accusations claim that the violations are generally related to fraudulent environmental reports filed by the Frasure Creek Mining Company and ICG, another mining company.
In September, the Mine Safety and Health Administration reported hundreds of violations in Kentucky's mines, which triggered Joseph A. Main of the MSHA to say, "They don't yet understand the value of safety in our nation's mines. That's got to change."
So, while claims of safety on behalf of the Governor Beshear and the Kentucky Minning Association don't seem to match up with the deluge of violations reported in Kentucky, the next battle over mining in Kentucky looks like it will be fought in the court system. Stay tuned.

5 key SEO considerations for 2015
With top search engines constantly changing and evolving their indexing and ranking techniques and algorithms to achieve better, more relevant results, search engine optimization strategy with every SEO too needs to evolve and change in tandem. 2014 was a year full of interesting and unique developments in SEO. These developments were brought about largely with the implementation of new search engine ranking algorithms. This in turn, sparked a concerted effort for change and evolution among the ranks of search engine optimization professionals.
In the year 2015, these trends are expected to hold good and new developments can also be expected along the same lines. With the focus firmly on content, returning relevant search results, mobile optimized websites and smooth and easy navigation, here are some of the important SEO recommendations for the year 2015. Keeping these in mind while devising and implementing your SEO strategy will hold you in good stead for the upcoming year –
Keyword Research and Optimization
With the Hummingbird update, Google made clear their intention to focus firmly on contextual and conversational search. This focus on semantic search warrants that SEO strategies for 2015 be made keeping semantic factors in mind. As per stats from Keyword Discovery site1, English users prefer using 2 to 3 words in their search query rather than single word query.
The essence of semantic search lies in the fact that more focus would be placed on the actual meaning or context of a search query taken as a whole, and not as a bunch of short primary keywords. Keeping this in mind, keyword research should be focused on identifying both long tail keywords and LSI keywords.
Long tail keywords will help search engines understand the relevance of your website and content with respect to the specific search queries of users, while LSI keywords widen your scope and reach. High-quality keyword research remains relevant, even more so now with the advent of conversational search and semantics-based search queries and results. Adapting your keyword research workflow to make room for conversational queries will significantly boost your chances in 2015.
Understanding Diagnostics and Mobile Optimization
Understanding and integrating website diagnostics into your SEO strategies has always been a crucial part of the overall SEO workflow. With the advent and proliferation of smart devices and the huge user base that they enjoy, Google has started placing more importance on Mobile optimization as an important factor in determining site rankings. Mobile searches do not always have the local intent.
For example, over 40% of mobile shoppers do both their product research and their shopping online. Over 40% of smartphone users in the USA considered their smart devices as their main search tool, and according to current projections, mobile searches set to overtake desktop search in the year 2015. With these in mind, it is prudent to take advantage of the "mobile friendly" label assigned by Google and improve your SEO. Google also provides Webmasters with special tools which they can use to their journey towards mobile optimization.
High-Quality Content
The one important thing about Google and other major search engines is that they have the ability to differentiate between good content and poor content. Google's ability to gauge the quality, engagement and uniqueness of web content has improved in leaps and bounds over the years, and is set to improve even more in 2015.
In recent times, in addition to preferring high-quality content, Google has also shown a willingness to attach more importance to content that is relevant, apt, fresh and interesting. Therefore, it would be a good strategy in the year 2015 to ensure that the content of your website gets updated at regular intervals and the information on offer provides genuine value and interest for your users. Apart from using high-quality, relevant content, keeping things fresh will significantly improve usage experience – something that is bound to score points with Google.
The Importance of Links
As popular as getting back links has been as a sound SEO strategy, of late, professionals have had to think and rethink about the efficacy of collecting back links in large volume. Over the course of the last few updates, Google has started placing less importance on the number of back links and is putting more focus on the quality and relevance of every single back link while calculating page ranks.
Paying for links is no longer a good SEO strategy and this is where back links that you have earned due to your merit from authority websites and high-quality webpages come in handy. Here as well, having great and engaging content is one of the key factors. In addition, you can also explore other avenues like getting back links leveraging your online and off-line relationships, or taking part in broken link building activities. The more high quality back links that you can gather for your website from reputed and authority websites, the better your fortunes will be in 2015 when it comes to SEO.
Leveraging Your Brand Visibility
For businesses that work with a limited geographical scope, getting themselves ranked for their chosen local search queries is much easier as the competition is geographically limited. With respect to this phenomenon, SEO effort is for the year 2015 should focus on leveraging your brand and increasing your authority level by getting brand citations on the Internet. A brand citation is usually a listing of the name and address of your business along with its phone number at another location in the Internet.
For your business, getting these brand citations contributes to your overall authority – something which Google considers important while assigning ranks. As a business, you should focus on getting three kinds of citations – local, which includes local directories, industry based, which includes getting mentioned on industry specific directories and groups, and niche based. If you can optimize your brand presence across multiple versatile platforms, it can act as a major catalyst for your search marketing strategy and bring you better results and performance in the year 2015.
Usage Experience
The one fact that SEO professionals and website owners need to wake up to is that search engines only like a particular website as much as its human users do. If you have a website that suffers from high bounce rates, or your users do not spend much time on your website, you need to rethink your strategies and ensure that your website provides a more rewarding, fulfilling usage experience. This will not only increase your conversions but also make your website more appealing to search engines.
The average time every user spends on your site and your site bounce rate are two factors that Google considers to be of importance while ranking your website. In the year 2015, you need to have a clear plan when it comes to your user interface – avoid confusing navigation issues, have a streamlined and indicated URL structure and make use of XML site maps. Google also provides you with advanced Webmaster tools that help you minimize website issues like crawling errors, navigational problems, broken links and other factors which contribute to negative SEO.
With these important factors in mind, you need to devise a smart, scalable and adaptive SEO strategy to allow for the latest developments in the field of search engine algorithm updates. Having a website that is supremely appealing to your user base already wins most of the battle on your behalf.

Comment #3
pwolanin commentedThis seems like the issue to deal with a problem that's bugged me for the last yer- database column names that are reused for no good reason. Does "cid" refer to "cache id" or "comment id"; does "vid" refer to a "vocabulary id" or a "revision id". I think that making these ID fields unique would move us towards being able to figure out more easily the foreign key constraints.
Comment #5
Crell commentedwebchick, your patch adds cascade on update and delete. Have we considered the effect that has on overall development, and how we could best leverage it?
Don't get me wrong, I'm very much in favor of RI and using cascade on update/delete. I just don't know if we've considered all the ramifications of how we can leverage RI to make more things more automated.
Comment #6
Pancho commentedVersion: | 6.x-dev | » 7.x-dev |
Crell is absolutely right. For this move we need to take our time and make sure we oversee the consequences.
We definitely should do this, but only in D7.
Comment #7
Crell commentedStatus: | Needs work | » Postponed |
I think it's actually been determined that as long as we support any database configuration that doesn't enforce RI (like MySQL MyISAM tables, the most commonly used type), we really can't use it. So that means somewhere around MySQL 6.0, maybe. :-)
I'm marking this postponed rather than won't fix, because it would be nice to fix in 5 years or so.

Reopening this. Even if we don't use them directly, extra metadata is good and can be helpful for advanced usage (Views, Schema module, and other weirdness).
Comment #11
Josh Waihi commentedIssue tags: | +database |
There are two imediate issue I see here:
- writing code in drupal that obeys foreign key contraints, i.e. invoking hook_nodeapi before a delete or update is done and so on.
- how to structure the schema api
Both of these are crucial for myisam to be able to play with the big boys, innodb, postgres and sqlite.
I can understand webchicks reasons for wanting to use cascades however, I feel like this defeats the purpose of FKs, they're are suppose to be a constraint to prevent such actions from happening. I suspect most of drupal will crash and burn when these FKs get implemented but will rise from ashes a stronger framework for it.
As for schema api, well thats the fun bit! I notice we seem to like seperating things out into massive schema arrays that take up a huge amount of lines. This could sooo easily be reduced. Naturally, I guessing my drupal maturity (exuse the spelling) is lacking here, that there must be a good reason for it. But my ideal schema example ladies and gentalmen:
$schema['table1'] = array(
'fields' => array(
'tid' => array('type' => 'serial', 'primary key' => TRUE), // primary key auto assumes not null
'title' => array('type' => 'varchar', 'not null' => TRUE, 'unique' => TRUE),
'body' => array('type' => 'varchar', 'length' => 225),
// no primary key defined here because already defined in field
// if primary key was made of 2 < columns then here a primary key
// would sit: 'primary key' => array('tid', 'title')

$schema['table2'] = array(
'fields' => array(

't1id' => array('type' => 'int', 'references' => array('table1' => 'tid')),
'revision' => array('type' => 'varchar', 'not null' => TRUE, 'length' => 225),

I'm happy to do the work for this issue at this stage, just need some direction and motivation as in keeping this issue alive with feedback and opinion.
Such transactional features to drupal does beg questions such as, "should the transactional features in the mysql driver be seperated out into innodb and myisam instances?" I mean, with more relational functionality - more work will need to be done in PHP to ensure myisam keeps up - innodb shouldn't suffer because of it. Yes this will make myisam slower through drupal, BUT, if innodb becomes the default, all we have to do is merely support myisam as it will slowly dull in usage.
Lots to think about for this issue, I'm sure this comment doesn't cover it all but is a start.
Comment #12
Crell commentedAs has been discussed at length, as long as we support MyISAM tables we can't leverage foreign keys natively as foreign keys. I'm OK with that. It's still valuable metadata to include as it can potentially be leveraged by other modules like Views, or for user-space offline integrity checking, etc. Even if we don't send that data down to the database itself, it's still useful data to keep around.
The syntax convention for schema itself is just Drupal's standard "long form" array syntax. Let's not play with that for now. Plenty of other battles to fight first. :-)
Comment #13
Josh Waihi commentedDrupal now has support for 3 transactional databases and 1 non-transactional database, it is truly a shame to not be better using these transactional databases because of MyISAM. I believe we can support foreign keys natively as foreign keys and still support MyISAM - however, I'd recommend that the MySQL driver defaults to innodb but can fall back to MyISAM as foreign key support in MyISAM would mean holding the logic in Drupal. The bigger problem here is getting people to let go off MyISAM and excepting innodb. This would make the database world in Drupal a whole lot easier to implement relational logic.
Comment #14
Crell commentedIt would. But abandoning ISAM is not on the table right now, so we can't base our business logic on assuming that we have foreign key integrity. But we'll need to the schema API support first either way, so let's do that and then revisit the question of what to actually do with that metadata later.
Comment #15
Josh Waihi commentedBut we'll need to the schema API support first either way
@Crell, I think you missed a key word here I can't quite figure out what.
I didn't say anything about abandoning MyISAM, but merely adding the logic it needs to be relational to its drupal driver. Yeah I know, lots of other worms I'll leave in the can for now.
For now, what is it exactly we need to do to the schema to get things rolling. Yes, that means I putting my hand up to roll up the sleaves and give this thing a hoon!
(if you dont' know what hoon is, ask Druplicon in IRC)
Comment #16
Crell commented1) Extend the Schema API syntax to allow for the definition of foreign keys in an easily-parsable way.
2) Ensure that information is cached along with the rest of the schema.
3) Include FK specifications for core schema definitions wherever appropriate.
4) Profit (in later patches)!

ok, well lets start with documentation, cause if this is right, then the code will follow. How does this look for starters?
Comment #19
earnie commentedStatus: | Needs review | » Needs work |
Subscribing. For non-transactional (MyISAM) could the DB API create a referential table that then can be used to create deletes and/or updates to the appropriate tables? We can eliminate a lot of module code if this is kept by the DB API.
In the example of the node table, you should add vid as a foreign key to the node_revisions table and type as a foreign key to node_type.
Comment #20
Crell commentedAll this talk of emulating RI on MyISAM is really reaching too far, IMO. First of all, doing so requires that every single table in the database be either MyISAM or InnoDB. No mixing, or we don't know which driver to use. Switching to depending on RI also means that we would have to completely reverse the order of every delete or update operation in core. Right now, for instance, we delete a node from the node table (the primary table), then from each of the dependent tables. If we had forced RI, that would break. If we had delete-cascade, that first delete would also delete all of the other dependent records, even if we logically want to do something else first. In that case, we'd have to completely and totally redesign the operations for the nodeapi hooks. Full on RI is more of a wtf than OOP would be. :-)
And doing that while we still need to deal with decidedly non-trivial task of manually enforcing RI on MyISAM, which is the most commonly used database type. That means we're slowing down the code on the most common use case. Sorry, I can't get behind that.
There's plenty of other things we can get from knowing about FKs besides DB-level enforced RI.
Wow that's a lot of acronyms in this post...
Comment #21
Josh Waihi commentedHowever Crell, MyISAM does not have to be the most used database. If we rose our benchmark up to innodb then things would change dramatically. And for those on crappy hosting plans only with MyISAM support - they would have a slower system - no slower than a relational database I would think though. I like earnie's idea here. And sooner or later the logic in drupal will need to be reversed. Other node tables should have there rows deleted that relate to node first before deleting a record for {node}. Why not add to the schema:
$schema['mytable'] = array(
'fields' =>array(
'primary keys' => array(
// .....
// other stuff like foriegn and unique keys + indexes
// then allow db specfic tweaks to happen
'mysql' => array(
'engine' => 'innodb',
// or ....
'engine' => MYSQL_ENGINE_INNODB // only mysql looks for this key.
// or ....
'relational' => TRUE // again, only MySQL could find this key useful.
This would help determine which driver to use and even let you use both at the same time.
I'd like to know what David Strauss's thoughts are on this topic.
Comment #22
Frando commentedWhat about first actually adding foreign key definitions to core (what this issue is about), and then discussing what to do with them (in a seperate issue)?
And talking about db-specific extensions like in the last response is a great topic, but shouldn't hold back foreign key definitions IMO.
Referential integrity is just one thing that can be done with foreign key definitions in core, but there certainly are other purposes (e.g. views could likely use them).
Comment #24
earnie commentedI agree but the patch given still needs work to add all the foreign keys of the node table example.

getting the ball rolling on this again. did that last patch get commited to HEAD? for some reason, it didn't show up in this patch when I did cvs diff -up
though the I had applied the patch. weird.
anyway, this updates the node schema implementation but it removes the description column.

Josh, removing unsigned does not belong to this issue. Also:
+ * 'vid' => array('node_revision' => 'nid'),
this certainly is wrong, this wants to be

Ok, I spent a bit of time adding foreign key definitions to core, I may have missed a few out or applied them where they are not needed, please revise this, I'm no Drupal all rounder, I'm not 100% on where foreign keys should or should goas far as core is concerned, not that it matters while we're not using them :( Feedback please.

jhodgdon commentedStatus: | Needs work | » Needs review |
I have added this to the 6.x-7.x module upgrade page http://drupal.org/node/224333#foreign-keys-added
I only added text to say that these foreign key descriptions had been added to the core schema, since that is all I saw in this patch.
I wasn't sure if there should also be a recommendation for contrib module developers to similarly add foreign keys descriptions to their schema, or if that recommendation was new for 7.x. Is Drupal doing something with foreign key descriptions, and if so, is it new to 7.x? If the answer to those questions is yes, then please mark this back to Needs Work.
Otherwise, if the text in the upgrade page is correct, probably this can be marked Fixed.

This is a serious WTF. I don't even know why it is in core, but as long as it is I'm changing the title to reflect reality so other people might not be so confused.
Comment #48
Damien Tournoud commentedTitle: | Show where foreign keys might exist in core schema definitions. NOTE: NOT YET IMPLEMENTED ANYWHERE. | » Add foreign keys to core |
This array is for documentation purposes only, the same way we have a 'description', but more easily parsable by automatic tools.
Comment #49
JacobSingh commentedOkay, but sorry please pick a different title. This issue in no way "Adds foreign keys to core". It simply indicates where they might exist, one day.
I'm sure I'm not the only person to be massively confused by this. Especially if someone comes from a background of having worked on more mature RDBS implementations.
A Foreign Key definition means something, just like primary or unique. How is someone supposed to know that one is for "documentation" purposes and the others actually do what they are supposed to?
Comment #50
Damien Tournoud commentedIt's just documented wrong.
I edited http://drupal.org/node/224333#foreign-keys-added to clarify that this is for documentation purposes only.
Comment #51
LinuxBloke commentedWhy oh why is anyone still using MyISAM???? InnoDB has been around for quite a while now, and current and proper Database design simply involves foreign keys, period. I would not want to do a mission critical application without them, except for very limited contexts where it would make sense.
I am currently dealing with a project written in Drupal 6.X, and in the middle of scaling this application up for high-availability, high-performance, high-reliability and high-volume. I don't want to migrate to 7.x because 7.x is not ready for prime time yet.
I have converted all tables in this application from MyISAM to InnoDB for performance reasons, and hesitated putting in the foreign key relationships because I'm not sure what happens if Drupal 6, not being foreign key aware, tries to do the work the database should be doing already. Seems to me Drupal 6 will crash and burn.
Is there a reliable way to use real InnoDB FKs with Drupal 6 code? The application should NOT be dictating relational issues to the database, but it would seem that Drupal commits this sin big time. Or maybe there's a replacement for Drupal's ORM core that does the right thing?
Any help would be helpful!
