The fix requires UNION support in the database. I've added a simple little test to see if UNION queries work. This change very much needs to be tested out by someone using MySQL 3. If it tests out there successfully, the supports_union code should be moved out of this file and into datalib. Ideally, someone will extend that test and creatle get_records_union_sql, a function that would split up UNION queries for databases that don't support them and do an array_merge (and proper sorting, which is missing from my fix) on the result sets.
README $Id$ ------ If you are installing the first time, then you should read the installation guide which is part of the Moodle documentation (along with information about upgrading etc): http://moodle.com/doc/ There is a copy of all this documentation as part of this Moodle distribution. You can access your local copy of the installation guide here: lang/en/docs/install.html Once Moodle is installed on your machine, then you can also access a local copy of all this documentation (localised to your language) at: http://yourmoodlesite.com/doc/ For the impatient, here is a basic outline of the installation process, which normally takes me only a few minutes: 1) Move the Moodle files into your web directory. 2) Create an empty directory somewhere to store uploaded files (NOT accessible via the web). This directory must be writeable by the web server process. 3) Create a single database for Moodle to store all it's tables in (or choose an existing database). 4) Copy the file config-dist.php to config.php, and edit it with all your own settings. 5) Visit your new home page with a web browser. Moodle will lead you through the rest of the setup, creating an admin account and so on. 6) Set up a cron task to call the file admin/cron.php every five minutes or so. Cheers! Martin Dougiamas
