Why?
Laravel's upsert default behaviour uses the
values()function that is deprecated and MySQL >= 8.0.20 will throw a warning when using thevalues()function inupsert:Reference
Expected behaviour
MySQL >= 8.0.20 does not throw any warnings when using
Model::upsert().How?
Update the behaviour of MySqlGrammar@compileUpsert to use the alias (instead of
values) in the upsert query when it is configured in the newdatabase.{mysql-database}.use_upsert_aliasconfig value.Why can't we update it to always use aliases?
The alias in
upsertis only supported beginning with MySQL 8.0.19, so it won't work with earlier versions:Reference
As the other option, a fourth parameter (instead of adding a new config values)
(bool $useAlias = false)can be added to the method to makeupsertuse the alias.
