rc_id parameter

log_id parameter
Would it be possible to add the column 'log_id' to the logevents query report? &#91;user:jldupont&#124;Jean-Lou Dupont] 14:50, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Good idea. That way if polling every 2 minutes and a burst of 1000 changes come in, you can tell it the last id (or even unix timestamp) of the last change you received and continue polling from there, confident that you won't lose events.

 * I think I know why: Title::makeTitle is called for *separately* for *every* title when backlinks/templatelinks/embeddedin is used in generator mode. See here. I'm gonna try to fix that now. --Catrope 18:32, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, apparently that's not the problem. I'll post a list of SQL queries this request makes and have domas or another DB techie look at it. --Catrope 18:54, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I imported some of those templates from Commons and ran a test request against it:


 * When I ran EXPLAIN against these queries, only the templatelinks part of the first query mentioned using an index. I don't know if that's the problem, though, so I'll ask an expert. --Catrope 19:54, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
