clean installation not ok as of mysq

[EdgarM]

When installing a new instance of Wordpress 2.0 Beta is not really possible, as several tables have new columns but the columns are not filled via the installationscript.

Also the fix that was mentioned in here:  http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3199 will not really help, as of mysql in both 4.x and 5.x Version do not allow defaults in text, mediumtext and longtext fields.

So the bugfix should be the other way around, not to change the default than the inserts in the install.php.

regards EdgarM

PS: The installation does not fail, but most inserts are not executed, so e.g. no post in in the db.

Set new DB field $comment_parent when comment posted.

One example of this seems to be that comment_parent is unset and MySQL 5 doesn't like this (it's NOT NULL, of course). The attached patch sets comment_parent (to 0). This will probably need to be reworked so that a plugin can override this and provide thhe threaded comments functionality, or it can be put in core, but if that isn't needed, this patch should do fine.

This worked for me, MySQL 5.0/strict.

I have to agree with Edgar though. Fixing the installer should be done by fixing the INSERTs, not by changing the schema.

(In [3285]) Make sure fields without defaults are specified when inserting. fixes #1953
