Parameters
| Name | Type | Passed by reference? | Variadic? | Default | Set | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $table_name | ID_TEXT | No | No | required parameter | N/A | N/A | The table name |
| $primary_key | boolean | No | No | required parameter | N/A | N/A | Whether this will be in a primary key |
| $fields | array | No | No | required parameter | N/A | N/A | The fields (a map between field name and field type [field type must start '*' if it is to be counted]) |
| $id_name | ID_TEXT | No | No | required parameter | N/A | N/A | The name of what we are checking (only used to generate clear error messages) |
| $skip_size_check | boolean | No | No | False | N/A | N/A | Whether to skip the size check for the table (only do this for addon modules that don't need to support anything other than MySQL) |
| $skip_null_check | boolean | No | No | False | N/A | N/A | Whether to skip the check for NULL string fields |
| $save_bytes | ?boolean | No | No | False | N/A | N/A | Whether to use lower-byte table storage, with trade-offs of not being able to support all unicode characters; use this if key length is an issue (null: autodetect) |
| $return_on_error | boolean | No | No | False | N/A | N/A | Whether to return on errors |
Returns
- Whether the size limit is not exceeded
- Type: boolean
- Set: N/A
