Details

  • Type: Bug Bug
  • Status: Closed Closed
  • Priority: Minor Minor
  • Resolution: Fixed
  • Affects Version/s: 1.8.9, 1.9.5
  • Fix Version/s: None
  • Labels:
    None
  • Environment:
    Found using Moodle with PostgreSQL 8.3 - will also be a problem for any other SQL-92 compliant RDBMS that does not like implicit type casts.
  • Database:
    PostgreSQL
  • Affected Branches:
    MOODLE_18_STABLE, MOODLE_19_STABLE

Description

The code in admin/cron.php to email out new passwords to users currently compares a text field to an integer, which is an implicit type cast that results in an error in PostgreSQL 8.3 or higher. Quoting the integer fixes the problem:

WHERE p.name='create_password' AND p.value=1 AND u.email !=''

should be

WHERE p.name='create_password' AND p.value='1' AND u.email !=''
