Which database do you use?

PostgreSQL

This is probably a side effect of 0014288 - will have a look.

Note: removing relationship to 0014398 which deals with issues related to 1.3, not the case here

dregad, you set the same relationship at 0014385. So I thought it is a good idea to add it also here.
I added better relationship 0013713 to collect test cases when introducing a new version of ADOdb.

Hm-m, on my opinion error in php code and indpendentd from database platform.

At user_api.php line 457

$c_protected = db_prepare_bool( $p_protected );

$c_protected always has value!

At user_api.php line 457

if( $c_protected ) {
    user_set_field( $t_user_id, 'protected', 1 );
}

Always set new user to protected state!

I'm sorry if this note was unnecessary

I had a bad gut feeling when seeing this commit.

This is probably a side effect of 0014288 - will have a look.
<smartass>Dealing with systems instead of the root cause is no good ideas most of the time</smartass>

Our real problem is, that we don't have enough automated tests to make such kind of changes without fearing to break existing functionality.

mva, if( $c_protected ) doesn't mean "has a value" it means "is true"

Marking as 'acknowledged' not resolved/closed to track that change gets ported to master-2.0.x branch

MantisBT currently supports Mysql and has support for other database engines.

The support for other databases is known to be problematic.

Having implemented the current database layer into Mantis 10 years ago, I'm currently working on replacing the current layer.

If you are interested in using Mantis with non-mysql databases - for example, Oracle, PGSQL or MSSQL, and would be willing to help out testing the new database layer, please drop me an email at paul@mantisforge.org

In the meantime, I'd advise running Mantis with Mysql Only to avoid issues.

Thanks
