Fix unique keys and foreign key restore without stringified fetches

[Nandan108]

Summary

Fixes #451 together with #522.

ALTER TABLE, CREATE TABLE, and SHOW CREATE TABLE compare fetched metadata to string values. PDO SQLite returns native types unless PDO::ATTR_STRINGIFY_FETCHES is set, so on PHP 8.1 and newer, these comparisons fail for callers that don't set that attribute. The WordPress plugin and the MySQL proxy set it, so they are unaffected, but the PDO-compatible API is:

$pdo = new WP_MySQL_On_SQLite( 'mysql-on-sqlite:dbname=wp', ... );
$pdo->query( 'CREATE TABLE u (id INT, email VARCHAR(50), UNIQUE KEY ue (email))' );
$pdo->query( "INSERT INTO u VALUES (1, 'a@example.com')" );
$pdo->query( "INSERT INTO u VALUES (2, 'a@example.com')" );
// Accepted: the unique key was created as a plain index.

The affected comparisons are the remaining ones listed in #451:

• NON_UNIQUE is compared to '0' when generating the SQLite schema and when generating SHOW CREATE TABLE output, so every UNIQUE KEY becomes a plain index. That also breaks INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, which then inserts duplicates.
• PRAGMA foreign_keys is compared to '1' after ALTER TABLE recreates a table, so the foreign key check is skipped.

#522 fixes the temporary table lookup, and #506 already fixed schema reconstruction.

Fix

The values are compared as integers.

Tests

testUniqueKeysWithoutStringifiedFetches disables stringified fetches, creates a table with a unique key, checks SHOW CREATE TABLE, recreates the table with ALTER TABLE, and checks that a duplicate row is rejected. It fails on trunk. Each of the two NON_UNIQUE comparisons fails it separately.

The PRAGMA foreign_keys comparison has no test. ALTER TABLE runs inside the wrapper transaction, where PRAGMA foreign_keys is a no-op, so the skipped restore has no observable effect today. It is fixed for consistency.

I also ran the whole suite with stringified fetches disabled in every test class. With this PR and #522, the only remaining failures are type differences in returned values (1 vs '1') and the two tests of the attribute itself.

packages/mysql-on-sqlite: 1044 tests pass (PHP 8.3, SQLite 3.45.1); PHPCS is clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed unique database indexes being lost when tables are recreated after a schema change. Duplicate values in uniquely constrained fields are now correctly rejected.
  • Improved consistency when adding columns to tables: unique constraints are preserved whether database results are returned as strings or other value types. Database table definitions also continue to report unique indexes correctly in either case.

📝 Walkthrough

The driver casts foreign-key pragma results and index metadata to integers before comparison. Tests cover table alteration and unique-key behavior with PDO fetch stringification enabled and disabled.

Run the foreign-key restoration assertion with both fetch modes.

testAlterTableAddColumn() asserts PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON, but its test setup always enables stringified fetches. Add the native-fetches case so restoring the old strict string comparison omits that query and fails the assertion.

Suggested fix

Thanks, this looks good! I merged in trunk and improved the tests a bit in 6f7c5d4:
