[14:52:25] <Amir1>	 tgr|away: Now more than 25% of tables use abstract schema \o/
[15:30:07] <tgr>	 Amir1: cool, thanks for all your work on it! I thought this would be a multi-year project but now it looks more like a quarter or two
[15:30:19] <tgr>	 well, not counting the extensions.
[15:30:59] <Amir1>	 yeah, I need to get the schema changes abstracted too (not all though, just a couple as a POC)
[15:31:13] <Amir1>	 and build the infra for abstract schema changes
[15:31:23] <Amir1>	 that would take some time
[15:31:50] <Amir1>	 Also we have things we need to fix like https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T42626#6262040
[15:36:20] <tgr>	 having some documentation about which type to use when (esp. varchar vs. varbinary vs. text vs. blob) would certainly be nice. Using proper date types is not something I'd touch without a very long stick.
[15:37:07] <Amir1>	 haha
[15:37:09] <Amir1>	 yeah
[15:37:51] <Amir1>	 the lack of documentation is the reason we have five different data types for storing timestamps
