Details

• &$updateFields: an array containing a list of field configurations. Each configuration is in the form array( $tableName, $idField, $textField, 'batchKey' => $batchKey, 'options' => $options, 'db' => $db ). Everything except $tableName and $idField is optional.
  • $tableName: name of the table containing the field(s) to update
  • $idField: field containing the user ID
  • $textField: field containing the username
  • $batchKey: primary key of the table. If present, update will be done in batches.
  • $options: options array for Database::update(). Typically used to ignore duplicate keys.
  • $db: DB connection to use

If the update operation is too complex to be handled this way, MergeAccountFromTo can be used instead.
