Proc Details

clear_poll_votes

Deletes all votes or text replies for this poll, depending on its type.

delete_poll

Sets a poll and its associated data as deleted in the database.

Calls the procedure set_poll_deleted to set the deleted column to 1 for each row in the poll_ tables matching the poll id used. Then deletes each option datum and finally the poll itself.

save_all_options

Saves all options of a poll to the database.

Saves all the created options for a poll when it's submitted to the DB for the first time and associated an id with the options. Insertion and id querying for each option is done separately to ensure data integrity; this is less performant, but not significantly. Using MassInsert() would mean having to query a list of rows by poll_id or matching by fields afterwards, which doesn't guarantee accuracy.

save_poll_data

Inserts or updates a poll question to the database.

Uses INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE to handle both inserting and updating at once. The start and end datetimes and poll id for new polls is then retrieved for the poll datum. Arguments:
