This patch adds option to skip DB connection initialization commands completely using a configuration setting in settings.php.

Normal Drupal setups doesn't benefit from skipping DB connection init. In our experimental D7 setup where we have very complex MySQL cluster with read/write splitting and geographically distributed server nodes we found out DB init commands taking over a second of runtime because init commands were executed on remote MySQL master node. We have charset and sql_mode settings already set in MySQL server default settings so initialization commands are not needed at all in our setup.

This patch allows administrator to skip DB connect initialization commands completely if DB server in use has been configured with suitable default settings.

Please consider applying the patch to D7 and D8.

    Thank you for sharing your idea for improving Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this proposal meets the Criteria for evaluating proposed changes. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or there is no community support. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
