Drupal 7.x

Does Drupal 7 supports Stored Procedures?

Alexander Allen - November 20, 2009 - 17:00

From what I understand Drupal 6 doesn't because it doesn't use PHP5's mysqli extension, and stored procedures are only suppported through mysqli.

I have personally not run any benchmark that supports that the use of stored procedures is more efficient. However, I am pretty sure I read somewhere in MySQL's documentation that stored procedures, new in MySQL 5.x, are a faster alternative to doing the traditional queries from PHP because

  • Less data is passed from the web server to the DBMS
  • MySQL 5 comes with a mechanism for "caching" those stored procedures

Without taking other things into consideration, it does makes sense to support them because even when Drupal has it's caching mechanism, it sure loves to do a lot of queries for tasks like generating a category/taxonomy page.

Modules which can replace "CV Builder"

Is any one aware of a module which can do the same as "CV Builder" for D6 and D7. I want to create an academic network so members can add their CV and maintain it.

drupal 7 - boosted performance? it seems that YES

I am surprised and excited, just tried drupal 7-dev (2009-Nov-20) and is extremely fast (compared to 6) and without the cache option turned on! I'm very curious how this was achieved.

Themes

This page is a stub for Drupal 7.

It will eventually explain how to switch and configure themes in Drupal 7.

I suggest waiting until the UX freeze on December 1st before filling out this page, as Drupal 7 is still in flux at time of this writing.
