Some columns needed to be renamed:
* quiz -> quizid
* question -> questionid
* grade -> maxmark
Then all the places that refer to those needed to be fixed.
It was always a bit of a hack to use static methods on the
qbehaviour_whatever classes to return metadata about the behaviour. It
is better design to have real qbehaviour_whatever_type classes to report
that metadata, particularly now that we are planning to add more such.
For example, inheritance works better with real classes. See, for
example, the improvements in
question_engine::get_behaviour_unused_display_options().
This change has been implemented in a backwards-compatbile way. Old
behaviours will continue to work. There will just be some developer debug
output to prompt people to upgrade their code properly.
as well as for first or all attempts.
This commit drops a database table and then recreates it. This is in
order to be able to have some new columns in the table be NOT NULL with
no default value, which would not be possible if I added fields to an
existing table.
The quiz_statistics table is used for caching calculated values only
and thus we can safely drop it and recreate it.
quiz_question_statistics_stats renamed to question_statistics_calculator
separate class question_statistics used to store calculated stats
and api changed, also code generally cleaned up.

List of changes:
* New OOP API using PHP namespace \core\session\.
* All handlers now update the sessions table consistently.
* Experimental DB session support in Oracle.
* Full support for session file handler (filesystem locking required).
* New option for alternative session directory.
* Official memcached session handler support.
* Workaround for memcached version with non-functional gc.
* Improved security - forced session id regeneration.
* Improved compatibility with recent PHP releases.
* Fixed borked CSS during install in debug mode.
* Switched to file based sessions in new installs.
* DB session setting disappears if DB does not support sessions.
* DB session setting disappears if session handler specified in config.php.
* Fast purging of sessions used in request only.
* No legacy distinction - file, database and memcached support the same functionality.
* Session handler name included in performance info.
* Fixed user_loggedin and user_loggedout event triggering.
* Other minor bugfixing and improvements.
* Fixed database session segfault if MUC disposed before $DB.
Limitations:
* Session access time is now updated right after session start.
* Support for $CFG->sessionlockloggedinonly was removed.
* First request does not update userid in sessions table.
* The timeouts may break badly if server hosting forces PHP.ini session settings.
* The session GC is a lot slower, we do not rely on external session timeouts.
* There cannot be any hooks triggered at the session write time.
* File and memcached handlers do not support session lock acquire timeouts.
* Some low level PHP session functions can not be used directly in Moodle code.
to question bank
- move cron to clean up old cache records move code and
rename classes
- further review of the quiz reports statistics code
- starting to separate calculations of quiz stats, question stats and
response analysis
- introduce hashcode db field for cached stats convert
- code to use qubaids hashcode for caches
We just drop the old tables (including previous upgrade steps) and
re-create the new ones, because these tables just cache calculated
statistics. No important data is stored in them.
