An empty password argument was passed by default and would produce
warnings when doing `rake db:create` in `activerecord/`
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
By default the password is empty so not passing the password argument
prevents the warning from appearing.
Tested on "mysql Ver 8.0.29 for macos12.2 on arm64 (Homebrew)"
Everytime I need to set up Rails locally on a new computer I have to
search for how to do this, then login to mysql, and run all these
commands.
In this change creating the rails user and running the grants is now
part of the `mysql` build rake task. This will default to using the
`root` user and no password. If this becomes problematic we can make it
configurable with env vars. I created the `rails` user twice for each
database defined even though the user is the same. This is in case we
decide to change it later on for arunit2.
This also updates the devcontainer for codespaces to use the rake tasks.
The container requires `sudo` so I had to provide an env var to make
that available.
Sometimes cascading association deletions can cause timeouts due to
an IO issue. Perhaps a model has associations that are destroyed on
deletion which in turn trigger other deletions and this can continue
down a complex tree. Along this tree you may also hit other IO
operations. Such deep deletions can lead to server timeouts while
awaiting completion and really the user may not notice all the
changes on their side immediately making them wait unnecesarially or
worse causing a timeout during the operation.
We now allow associations supporting the `dependent:` key to take `:destroy_async`,
which schedules a background job to destroy associations.

All the tests have a substantial chunk of identical setup effort (in
cases/helper.rb); this makes isolated tests run much faster, without any
change to the variety of how we load files.
* Use utf8mb4 character set by default
`utf8mb4` character set supports supplementary characters including emoji.
`utf8` character set with 3-Byte encoding is not enough to support them.
There was a downside of 4-Byte length character set with MySQL 5.5 and 5.6:
"ERROR 1071 (42000): Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes"
for Rails string data type which is mapped to varchar(255) type.
MySQL 5.7 supports 3072 byte key prefix length by default.
* Remove `DEFAULT COLLATE` from Active Record unit test databases
There should be no "one size fits all" collation in MySQL 5.7.
Let MySQL server choose the default collation for Active Record
unit test databases.
Users can choose their best collation for their databases
by setting `options[:collation]` based on their requirements.
* InnoDB FULLTEXT indexes support since MySQL 5.6
it does not have to use MyISAM storage engine whose maximum key length is 1000 bytes.
Using MyISAM storag engine with utf8mb4 character set would cause
"Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes"

* CI against MySQL 5.7
Followed this instruction and changed root password to empty string.
https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/database-setup/#MySQL-57
* The recommended minimum version of MySQL is 5.7.9
to support utf8mb4 character set and `innodb_default_row_format`
MySQL 5.7.9 introduces `innodb_default_row_format` to support 3072 byte length index by default.
Users do not have to change MySQL database configuration to support Rails string type.

* The recommended minimum version of MariaDB is 10.2.2
MariaDB 10.2.2 is the first version of MariaDB supporting `innodb_default_row_format`
Also MariaDB says "MySQL 5.7 is compatible with MariaDB 10.2".

Since we want this flag to be enabled anytime we are running the tests
under JRuby, let's enable this at the Rakefile level so people get the
performance boost on their local checkout.
Moreover, we avoid having to update this particular line anytime the
option changes on the JRuby side.
The only drawback is that we have to define it in every Rakefile but
there's no big deal, this is already the case for other options.
