Hi: I'm looking at /database/updates.inc and see two glaring issues: 1) Some db_type checks only look for 'mysql' not 'mysqli.' I'll submit a patch. 2) Droping columns isn't being done for pgsql because it didn't support doing so prior to 7.4. I'd like to add a database version check inside update.inc. I'm planning on adding the version discovery solely to /update.php. But I'm wondering if the core folks think would find it useful (and worth the cost) to add it for all connections via /includes/database.*.inc?
