Add the SQL mode NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO to the MySQL database connection

Created on 5 July 2021, over 3 years ago
Updated 17 February 2024, 10 months ago

Problem/Motivation

MySQL by default does not allow row with an auto-increment value to insert the value zero.

Proposed resolution

Use the SQL mode NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO by default for the MySQL database driver, which allows a field with an auto-increment value to have the value zero. We are already using the setting for inserting the anonymous user. We do this by temporary adding the setting to the SQL mode for MySQL.

Remaining tasks

TBD

User interface changes

Release notes snippet

For MySQL the mode NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO has been added to the database connection.

Original issue summary

We should really set NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO by default for MySQL, so that we can stop working around MySQL sillyness with 0 in auto-increment columns. This partly blocking #838438: Test the upgrade path because in this issue we need to import a Drupal 6 database, and even if we have a workaround, it's not satisfactory.
