Considering all the apps that have mysql code or mysql/php code in them, something that would go thru and fix code that wouldn't work, but wouldn't optimize either, and alert to code that doesn't have functional equivalents that points to a FAQ they can look at or submit questions to, now that I'd love.

What I've done for my last couple of PHP/db projects is hack a little perl script that generates SQL and PHP code to build data structures. That way you just tag a field as indexed/unique and type phonenum and let the script generate for the target db/lang. At the moment, of course, too much tends to be hardwired :-( Should be expanded and turned into a proper open-source package really - there are plenty of people who try to support a lot of databases (twig springs to mind). Haven't really got the round tuits at present, but if anyone wants the code they're welcome to it. - Richard Huxton
