Deprecation: #101793 - DataHandler checkStoredRecords properties¶

Description¶

The backend DataHandler had a functionality to verify written records after they have been persisted in the database and log unexpected collisions.

This feature has been removed since it is rather useless with many databases in strict mode nowadays and since the default configuration was to not actually check single fields but to still create overhead by always querying records from the database without benefit.

Two TYPO3_CONF_VARS toggles have been obsoleted:

• $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['BE']['checkStoredRecords']
• $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['BE']['checkStoredRecordsLoose']

Two DataHandler properties have been marked as deprecated:

• \TYPO3\CMS\Core\DataHandling\DataHandler->checkStoredRecords
• \TYPO3\CMS\Core\DataHandling\DataHandler->checkStoredRecords_loose

Impact¶

There should be little to no impact for instances, except some less database queries when using the DataHandler. Extensions setting the DataHandler properties should stop using them, they will be removed with TYPO3 v14 and have no functionality with v13 anymore.

Affected installations¶

In rare cases, instances with extensions setting the DataHandler properties are affected. The extension scanner will find possible usages with a weak match.

Instances setting the TYPO3_CONF_VARS toggles in settings.php are updated silently by the install tool during the upgrade process to TYPO3 v13.

Migration¶

Extensions aiming for compatibility with TYPO3 v12 and v13 can continue to set the properties DataHandler->checkStoredRecords and DataHandler->checkStoredRecords_loose, they are kept in v13, but functionality bound to them is removed.

Extensions aiming for compatibility with TYPO3 v13 and above should remove usages of DataHandler->checkStoredRecords and DataHandler->checkStoredRecords_loose, they are without functionality in TYPO v13 and will be removed with TYPO3 v14.
