From dffca4de5daf3e86a185860492229f328d547a0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chad Horohoe Date: Tue, 7 Sep 2010 12:37:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Per wikitech-l discussion: it would be nice if the various DBMSs we support kept all of their docs in one place. So make a place and move two already existing READMEs there. Add some info to /docs/database.txt about this as well. Postgres, Oracle, Mssql need to add some info kthnx :) --- docs/database.txt | 17 +++++++++++++++++ .../README => docs/databases/ibm_db2.txt | 0 .../sqlite/README => docs/databases/sqlite.txt | 0 3 files changed, 17 insertions(+) rename maintenance/ibm_db2/README => docs/databases/ibm_db2.txt (100%) rename maintenance/sqlite/README => docs/databases/sqlite.txt (100%) diff --git a/docs/database.txt b/docs/database.txt index 9962a83b0a..555347dccb 100644 --- a/docs/database.txt +++ b/docs/database.txt @@ -171,3 +171,20 @@ queries, by using an appropriate condition in the WHERE clause of an UPDATE, or by using unique indexes in combination with INSERT IGNORE.
