Terminate & Reverse MOD Installation If Not Using mySQL Database

[Randem]

I have looked and found nothing on this topic, so I am asking how can I Terminate & Reverse MOD Installation If Not Using mySQL Database?

Basically in the code directive section of the Package-info.xml.file in the code I basically want to do something like this:

Code Select Expand


if (($db_type != 'mysql') && ($db_type{!= 'mysqli')){
fatal_lang_error 'Only mySQL database supported at this time!', false);
}


But instead of the return, I want to exit and have the Package Manager not to continue installation of the MOD and to reverse anything that was done.
How can this be achieved?

You can try putting it in the install.php file instead and document it on the mod's page.

In reality the number of non-MySQL users is sufficiently small that it shouldn't be much of a problem, and SMF provides a decent amount of abstraction functionality to help.
