Remove the alternate field storage abstraction #1745

Open jenlampton opened 8 years ago

jenlampton commented 8 years ago

In Drupal 7 field storage was made swappable to allow data to be stored in alternate places such as other database systems like mongodb. We have removed this ability in Backdrop CMS, but a lot of the legacy abstraction code remains.

This task is to merge field_sql_storage module back into field. It might help to consult the Drupal 6 cck module to see how this was done before the abstraction was added.

@jenlampton Do you know where the ability to swap the storage backend was removed?

Maybe it was done as part of 3ab41c27be ? It might also have just been part of the removal of alternate databases. Maybe @jlfranklin knows, it might still be supported in silkscreen.
