Manual:Shared database/ja

This page provides a brief overview of using shared databases in MediaWiki. Most of the information here should work with a plain installation of MediaWiki (no extensions). Any extension requirements are noted. Note that this is designed around MySQL databases. Support for SQLite was added in MediaWiki 1.17. Support for PostgreSQL was added in MediaWiki 1.19. Other database engines may not support shared databases in this way.

Basics
Shared databases are configured with 3 main global in your :



Depending on your needs and environment, you may not need to use all of these.

The simplest setup: A shared user table
A shared user table can be used to have multiple wikis that have shared user registrations, so that users need only sign up to one wiki.

By default, $wgSharedTables contains the user and user_properties tables. Adding 'actor' to it is planned.

Database permissions
The MySQL user of the shared wiki must have at least SELECT and UPDATE permissions for the main wiki user tables. If you use different MySQL users for each wiki, you will need to grant additional permissions to the shared wiki user as specified in that wiki's setting. This can be performed using MySQL commands similar to the following:

This will allow your wiki to read users from the main table, and also update the tables, which happens whenever a user logs in.

Sharing sessions
To share login sessions between your wikis, set to include all subdomains under your root domain. For example, if you have the sites en.example.com, fr.example.com, and pool.example.com, set:

アップグレード
As of MediaWiki 1.21, when upgrading MediaWiki from the web installer, $wgSharedTables must be temporarily cleared during upgrade. Otherwise, the shared tables are not touched at all (neither tables with $wgSharedPrefix, nor those with $wgDBprefix), which may lead to a failed upgrade.

When upgrading from the command line, running the script, you need to use the   parameter for the script to upgrade the shared tables.

In MediaWiki 1.24 the default password type for MediaWiki has been changed from MD5 to PBKDF2, and passwords hashes will automatically be updated as users log in. To prevent this from happening until all wikis are upgraded, set to   on all wikis, and remove it on all wikis when they have been upgraded to ensure a stronger encryption is used.

Sharing more tables
You can share tables other than the user table, but be careful when doing so. If a table contains any data specific to one wiki, sharing may cause problems. Note that each of the subsections here assume that you are also sharing the user table. Whenever adding other tables, be sure to either append to the array or include the user table in the new array definition.

ipblocks テーブル
By sharing the, you can have "global blocks" so that a block on one wiki will block the user or IP on all other wikis using the shared database.

Caveats
There can be some minor issues when sharing the ipblocks table:


 * The  field is set as the "reason" on Special:Block when blocking a user. When a blocked user sees the "You are blocked" message, this is parsed as wikitext, and links are parsed on Special:BlockList, you will need to make sure when blocking a user that the message makes sense on all wikis.
 * Block logs will not be shared (sharing the logging table is not recommended).

user_groups テーブル
Sharing the will allow you to have global user groups.

Caveats

 * As with the block log, the user rights log is not shared.
 * All user groups will be global. You can work around this somewhat by customizing your user groups. For example, to have admins on one wiki be separate from admins on another, you could do something like the following:
 * In the config for wiki 1:


 * In the config for wiki 2:


 * To prevent bureaucrats on one wiki from assigning themselves rights on other wikis that they shouldn't have, you can do a similar configuration to the above, but remove the 'userrights' right that allows them to set any group, and use / instead.

その他のテーブル
This section covers other tables, with less common reasons to share, as well as which tables not to share.


 * The interwiki table contains mostly static data; it may be useful to share if you have many custom interwikis.
 * The site_stats table could possibly be shared, to aggregate data over all your wikis.
 * By default, the is included in the list of shared tables. If your wikis were started using MediaWiki 1.15 or older, you should probably keep this for backward compatibility, as user preferences will be silently automatically migrated from the user table to the user_properties table. Otherwise, you can remove this from the array to allow users to have different preferences on each wiki (if desired)

Most other tables should not be shared, as they include wiki-specific data, typically connections to pages via a pageid or a namespace/title combination. This includes (but is not limited to):


 * Any of the links tables (pagelinks, templatelinks, etc.)
 * The page table
 * The revision table
 * The image table (to have a shared media repository, see $wgForeignFileRepos)

関連項目

 * - A different method to have shared user tables. Used by Wikimedia, and probably the easiest option for merging already-established wikis.
 * - an extension that allows IP addresses to be blocked globally, without sharing other databases. The right to globally block users is separated from the normal 'block' right.
 * - An extension that enables global user groups and allows easy management of them via Special:GlobalUserrights.
