Match MySQL foreign key and transaction semantics for DDL statements - #615
Implements the plan agreed on in the issue, with the PRAGMA foreign_key_check refinement from the discussion.
What changed
Implicit commit before DDL. Like MySQL, an open user transaction is now committed before a DDL statement runs, so DDL cannot be rolled back together with the earlier statements of a transaction. The TEMPORARY keyword is the exception: CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE and DROP TEMPORARY TABLE do not commit, matching MySQL. OPTIMIZE TABLE and REPAIR TABLE are treated as DDL as well, since they recreate the table and cannot be rolled back — MySQL does not list them under implicit-commit statements, but their rebuild requires a transaction-free connection (see below), and the issue's plan expects them covered.
Foreign keys disabled around table rebuilds.ALTER TABLE, OPTIMIZE TABLE, REPAIR TABLE, and DROP INDEX \PRIMARY`disable foreign keys before the wrapper transaction begins and enable them again after it ends. Previously the rebuild issuedPRAGMA foreign_keys = OFF` inside the wrapper transaction, where the pragma is a no-op, so dropping the original table fired the foreign key actions of the referencing tables (the data loss from the issue).
New violations fail the rebuild. The rebuild now snapshots PRAGMA foreign_key_check before the rebuild and fails if the rebuilt state introduces violations that were not there before. Pre-existing violations are tolerated, matching MySQL, which does not re-validate existing rows when rebuilding a table — otherwise a single orphan row would permanently break ALTER TABLE on that table. Only violations introduced by the statement are reported, per the refinement discussed in the issue.
Referenced parents are rejected for DROP TABLE and TRUNCATE TABLE. Like MySQL (errors 3730 and 1701), dropping or truncating a table that is referenced by a foreign key constraint of another table fails instead of silently deleting or modifying the referencing rows. Dropping the referencing table in the same statement does not bypass the check, matching MySQL.
Notes
Internal transactions are unaffected by the implicit commit: the driver tracks whether the active transaction was started by the user, so the exclusive configuration transaction keeps working as before.
Test expectations were updated where the new semantics surface: the PDO rollback tests now reflect that a DDL statement leaves no transaction to roll back (matching PDO MySQL, which also fails rollBack() then), and the table-creation helper in the query tests commits only when a transaction is still open.
DROP TABLE parent, child in one statement is rejected, verified against MySQL 8.4 alongside the other behaviors in this PR.
Testing
8 new driver tests: the issue's CASCADE reproduction, the populated-child no-action case from the discussion, SET NULL, a pre-existing orphan tolerated across a rebuild, implicit commit with ROLLBACK, the TEMPORARY exception, and the DROP/TRUNCATE rejections including rows staying intact.
Full mysql-on-sqlite suite (1537 tests) passes locally on PHP 8.3, PHPCS clean.
All behaviors verified against MySQL 8.4 in a container before implementation, including: implicit commit of START TRANSACTION around DDL, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE not committing, error 3730 for DROP TABLE (also when dropping the child in the same statement), error 1701 for TRUNCATE TABLE (also with an empty referencing table), and orphan rows surviving an unrelated ALTER TABLE.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
DDL statements now commit active transactions as expected, while temporary-table DDL leaves transactions open.
Table rebuilds preserve related rows and restore foreign-key enforcement; existing violations are tolerated, but rebuilds that introduce new violations fail.
Dropping or truncating a non-temporary table referenced by another table now returns a MySQL-style error. Self-references do not block these operations.
ALTER TABLE on a parent table fired the foreign key actions of referencing
tables while dropping the original one during the rebuild: with ON DELETE
CASCADE the child rows were deleted, with ON DELETE SET NULL they lost their
references, and with any other action the statement failed. The rebuild
disabled foreign keys as the SQLite procedure requires, but the pragma is a
no-op inside a transaction, and the statement always ran inside the wrapper
transaction.
Statements that recreate a table (ALTER TABLE, OPTIMIZE TABLE, REPAIR TABLE,
and DROP INDEX `PRIMARY`) now disable foreign keys outside the wrapper
transaction and enable them again after it ends. Like MySQL, DDL statements
now also implicitly commit an open user transaction, so DDL cannot be rolled
back together with the earlier statements of a transaction; CREATE TEMPORARY
TABLE and DROP TEMPORARY TABLE are the exceptions. Internal transactions,
such as the exclusive configuration transaction, are not affected.
The rebuild now fails when it introduces new foreign key violations, detected
by comparing PRAGMA foreign_key_check before and after the rebuild.
Pre-existing violations are tolerated, matching MySQL, which does not
re-validate existing rows when rebuilding a table.
Dropping or truncating a table that is referenced by a foreign key constraint
of another table is now rejected, like MySQL rejects it with errors 3730 and
1701, rather than silently deleting or modifying the rows of the referencing
tables.
FixesWordPress#528.
The translator now tracks user transactions and implicitly commits them before qualifying DDL. Table-recreating operations manage foreign-key enforcement around the wrapper transaction, check for new violations, and reject dropping or truncating referenced non-temporary tables.
The translator tracks user transaction state and commits active user transactions before qualifying DDL. Temporary-table creation and removal are excluded. Tests and installation code handle cases where DDL has already ended a transaction.
Table rebuilds snapshot foreign-key violations and fail if they introduce new violations. DROP TABLE and TRUNCATE TABLE reject referenced non-temporary tables. Tests cover rebuild results, rejection behavior, and query logging.
Resolve the foreign-key handling and installation recovery issues before merging. Certain rebuild and drop paths can permit invalid or deleted child data, imports can reject valid operations, and a failed installation can require manual database repair.

Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[ #528 ] The driver adds implicit commits, disables foreign keys around rebuilds, and rejects referenced parents for DROP and TRUNCATE. The new tests cover these paths. However, if a rebuild throws inside its wrapper transaction, query() runs PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON in finally before the wrapper transaction has ended. SQLite ignores that pragma inside a transaction, so foreign-key enforcement remains disabled after the failure. The new tests check enforcement after a successful rebuild, not a failed one.
Resolution
Restore foreign-key enforcement after the failed wrapper transaction ends. Add an automated test that causes a rebuild to fail and verifies that subsequent foreign-key violations are rejected.

sqlite_make_db_sqlite() wraps the table creation queries in a transaction
and commits it. With DDL statements now implicitly committing the user
transaction, like in MySQL, the first CREATE TABLE ends the transaction and
the explicit commit failed with "There is no active transaction", breaking
the WordPress install.
Commit and roll back only while a transaction is still open.

- Around line 5951-5964: Update the referenced-table error handling in the
`truncate` and DROP branches to preserve MySQL error identities: use SQLSTATE
`42000` and error number `1701` for TRUNCATE, and SQLSTATE `HY000` and error

`new_driver_exception` mechanism, ensuring the exception code is the
corresponding SQLSTATE.
- Line 6100: Update the rebuild flow around execute_sqlite_query so foreign-key
violations are checked in both main and temp schemas before and after the
rebuild. Compare each schema’s pre-rebuild violations with its own post-rebuild

with main-schema results.
- Around line 5935-5950: Update the DROP TABLE reference-check path that queries
`main.sqlite_master` using `table_name` to skip the child-table scan when the

reference checks when the target exists and the existing behavior for missing
targets without `IF EXISTS`.
- Around line 5949-5951: Update the foreign-key handling in the drop path around
the `$foreign_keys` loop to honor the session’s `FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS` setting:
when checks are disabled, prevent SQLite from applying foreign-key actions
during the drop; preserve existing behavior when checks are enabled.
- Around line 5943-5948: Update the foreign-key lookup using
execute_sqlite_query and quote_sqlite_identifier to query main.foreign_key_list

main.sqlite_master even when a temporary table shadows it.
- Around line 3203-3208: In the DROP TABLE handling, determine whether each
resolved target is temporary before calling assert_table_not_referenced. Skip
the permanent-table foreign-key check when the target resolves to a temporary
table, while retaining it for permanent targets; keep the check tied to each
target rather than a shadowed table with the same name.
- Around line 6029-6031: Restrict the before-and-after foreign-key checks in the
rebuild flow to the rebuilt table and tables that reference it before or after
the rebuild. Determine the affected table set across both states and use it to
scope both calls to execute_sqlite_query, preserving detection of violations
introduced by the rebuild.

Return MySQL error identities for referenced tables.
When a referenced table is dropped or truncated, both errors report HY000/1105, and the exception code is 0. Callers cannot identify the MySQL error. Return HY000/3730 for DROP and 42000/1701 for TRUNCATE, including the SQLSTATE as the exception code.

5951 - 5964:
Update the referenced-table error handling in the `truncate` and DROP branches
to preserve MySQL error identities: use SQLSTATE `42000` and error number `1701`
for TRUNCATE, and SQLSTATE `HY000` and error number `3730` for DROP. Pass these
identities through the established `new_driver_exception` mechanism, ensuring
the exception code is the corresponding SQLSTATE.

Limit foreign-key checks to affected tables.
For a small rebuild, two database-wide checks can scan large unrelated foreign-key tables and extend the write lock. Limit the checks to the rebuilt table and tables that reference it before or after the rebuild.

Check temporary-schema foreign keys during rebuilds.
When an ALTER introduces a violation in a temporary table, the unqualified checks miss it and the rebuild can commit invalid rows. Check both main and temp before and after the rebuild, and compare violations within each schema.

Update the rebuild flow around execute_sqlite_query so foreign-key violations
are checked in both main and temp schemas before and after the rebuild. Compare
each schema’s pre-rebuild violations with its own post-rebuild violations, so
temporary-table violations are detected without being conflated with main-schema
results.

Make partial schema installation recoverable.
If a schema query fails after a table is created, the earlier table remains committed. A web retry can stop at the database repair screen, and replaying the schema can fail on the existing table. Installation can remain blocked until the database is repaired manually.
Restore recovery without removing tables that existed before installation.

Make schema installation recoverable when a query fails: update the installation
flow around the PDOException catch and translator rollback so partial changes
from this attempt are undone or safely removed, including tables created before
the failure. Ensure recovery targets only objects created during this
installation and preserves tables that existed beforehand; establish which
cleanup or transaction mechanism works for the schema operations before choosing
it.

Fixes #528.
Implements the plan agreed on in the issue, with the
PRAGMA foreign_key_checkrefinement from the discussion.What changed
Implicit commit before DDL. Like MySQL, an open user transaction is now committed before a DDL statement runs, so DDL cannot be rolled back together with the earlier statements of a transaction. The TEMPORARY keyword is the exception:
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLEandDROP TEMPORARY TABLEdo not commit, matching MySQL.OPTIMIZE TABLEandREPAIR TABLEare treated as DDL as well, since they recreate the table and cannot be rolled back — MySQL does not list them under implicit-commit statements, but their rebuild requires a transaction-free connection (see below), and the issue's plan expects them covered.Foreign keys disabled around table rebuilds.
ALTER TABLE,OPTIMIZE TABLE,REPAIR TABLE, andDROP INDEX \PRIMARY`disable foreign keys before the wrapper transaction begins and enable them again after it ends. Previously the rebuild issuedPRAGMA foreign_keys = OFF` inside the wrapper transaction, where the pragma is a no-op, so dropping the original table fired the foreign key actions of the referencing tables (the data loss from the issue).New violations fail the rebuild. The rebuild now snapshots
PRAGMA foreign_key_checkbefore the rebuild and fails if the rebuilt state introduces violations that were not there before. Pre-existing violations are tolerated, matching MySQL, which does not re-validate existing rows when rebuilding a table — otherwise a single orphan row would permanently breakALTER TABLEon that table. Only violations introduced by the statement are reported, per the refinement discussed in the issue.Referenced parents are rejected for
DROP TABLEandTRUNCATE TABLE. Like MySQL (errors 3730 and 1701), dropping or truncating a table that is referenced by a foreign key constraint of another table fails instead of silently deleting or modifying the referencing rows. Dropping the referencing table in the same statement does not bypass the check, matching MySQL.Notes
