backwards compatible.
What do you mean? All the changes that are applied to Moodle must be applied to _all_ the Moodle versions?
>> Quote "I remember. Apparently it was not solved in Moodle 4.0. It must
have reached EOL by then. Either way, it will never be patched."
I see. The last sentence could be misunderstood. I meant that Moodle 4.0 will never be patched after its EOL.

solutions that result in a working product !!!
Touch wood. Moodle is working here. This moodle.org itself is a customized Moodle.

with being the big cheese and having your say instead of providing
meaning full assistance - disappointing!
With and without cheese, I tried my best. I'm sorry if my help was not meaningful to you. I never claimed that they are always useful, but there are people who've marked my posts as useful. And I get help all the time and mark such threads useful.
I quit. Wish you good luck!

In the forums we discuss issue based, as can be seen in the title of the post, "Re: Massive duplicated questions". The database question is something new. So it should be a new discussion and ideally in the proper forum. You see the list of forums on the community home page https://moodle.org/course/view.php?id=5. Linked to that is the Forums code of conduct which contain more hints. One tip that may be not listed there: There is an excellent Advanced search (linked from the right side drawer). And don't forget Before you post.. Read this..
When we are at it your first post in this discussion https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=452758#p1844526 also belongs to a new thread. Thread hijacking is not appreciated - specially by the OP. Since Sarit has never come back after he posted the question, the damage is under control.

Yeah, your Moodle kind of suffocated in that shared platform.
I suggest, you move to another hosting provider. The only thing you need to take with you is a healthy Site backup. Then do a Site restore at the new provider. Roughly the same thing is documented as Moodle migration.
Important: Watch out for compatible system software, mainly the web server, PHP and the DBMS. Here is an overview: http://www.syndrega.ch/blog/#php-and-dbms-compatibility-of-major-moodle-releases. Notice the _maximium_ compatible versions!

Is this because the term "master" was used in the during slavery? But a) that term is much older, going back to Latin according to https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/master#Etymology_1. b) You might success is banning the word, but the roles master and slave do exist after slavery is banned, and are going to be there for a very long time. I alternate between a first world country and a third world country and know who the masters are. They typically have the money, the know how, .. put in one world, the _power_. The very fact the masters choose not to call themselves masters, shows who the masters are! This whole word game is a deception!
