py-sqlalchemy: updated to 1.3.20
1.3.20
Released: October 12, 2020
orm
[orm] [bug]
An ArgumentError with more detail is now raised if the target parameter for Query.join() is set to an unmapped object. Prior to this change a less detailed AttributeError was raised. Pull request courtesy Ramon Williams.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed issue where using a loader option against a string attribute name that is not actually a mapped attribute, such as a plain Python descriptor, would raise an uninformative AttributeError; a descriptive error is now raised.
engine
[engine] [bug]
Fixed issue where a non-string object sent to SQLAlchemyError or a subclass, as occurs with some third party dialects, would fail to stringify correctly. Pull request courtesy Andrzej Bartosiński.
[engine] [bug]
Repaired a function-level import that was not using SQLAlchemy’s standard late-import system within the sqlalchemy.exc module.
sql
[sql] [bug]
Fixed issue where the pickle.dumps() operation against Over construct would produce a recursion overflow.
[sql] [bug]
Fixed bug where an error was not raised in the case where a column() were added to more than one table() at a time. This raised correctly for the Column and Table objects. An ArgumentError is now raised when this occurs.
postgresql
[postgresql] [usecase]
The psycopg2 dialect now support PostgreSQL multiple host connections, by passing host/port combinations to the query string. Pull request courtesy Ramon Williams.

Specfiying multiple fallback hosts
[postgresql] [bug]
Adjusted the Comparator.any() and Comparator.all() methods to implement a straight “NOT” operation for negation, rather than negating the comparison operator.
[postgresql] [bug]
Fixed issue where the ENUM type would not consult the schema translate map when emitting a CREATE TYPE or DROP TYPE during the test to see if the type exists or not. Additionally, repaired an issue where if the same enum were encountered multiple times in a single DDL sequence, the “check” query would run repeatedly rather than relying upon a cached value.
mysql
[mysql] [usecase]
Adjusted the MySQL dialect to correctly parenthesize functional index expressions as accepted by MySQL 8. Pull request courtesy Ramon Williams.
[mysql] [bug]
The “skip_locked” keyword used with with_for_update() will emit a warning when used on MariaDB backends, and will then be ignored. This is a deprecated behavior that will raise in SQLAlchemy 1.4, as an application that requests “skip locked” is looking for a non-blocking operation which is not available on those backends.
[mysql] [bug]
Fixed bug where an UPDATE statement against a JOIN using MySQL multi-table format would fail to include the table prefix for the target table if the statement had no WHERE clause, as only the WHERE clause were scanned to detect a “multi table update” at that particular point. The target is now also scanned if it’s a JOIN to get the leftmost table as the primary table and the additional entries as additional FROM entries.
[mysql] [change]
Add new MySQL reserved words: cube, lateral added in MySQL 8.0.1 and 8.0.14, respectively; this indicates that these terms will be quoted if used as table or column identifier names.
mssql
[mssql] [bug]
Fixed issue where a SQLAlchemy connection URI for Azure DW with authentication=ActiveDirectoryIntegrated (and no username+password) was not constructing the ODBC connection string in a way that was acceptable to the Azure DW instance.
misc
[bug] [pool]
Fixed issue where the following pool parameters were not being propagated to the new pool created when Engine.dispose() were called: pre_ping, use_lifo. Additionally the recycle and reset_on_return parameter is now propagated for the AssertionPool class.
[bug] [associationproxy] [ext]
An informative error is now raised when attempting to use an association proxy element as a plain column expression to be SELECTed from or used in a SQL function; this use case is not currently supported.
[bug] [tests]
Fixed incompatibilities in the test suite when running against Pytest 6.x.

Update SQLalchemy to version 0.6.0.
Changes since 0.5.6:
0.6.0
=====
- orm
- Unit of work internals have been rewritten. Units of work
with large numbers of objects interdependent objects
can now be flushed without recursion overflows
as there is no longer reliance upon recursive calls
[ticket:1081]. The number of internal structures now stays
constant for a particular session state, regardless of
how many relationships are present on mappings. The flow
of events now corresponds to a linear list of steps,
generated by the mappers and relationships based on actual
work to be done, filtered through a single topological sort
for correct ordering. Flush actions are assembled using
far fewer steps and less memory. [ticket:1742]
- Along with the UOW rewrite, this also removes an issue
introduced in 0.6beta3 regarding topological cycle detection
for units of work with long dependency cycles. We now use
an algorithm written by Guido (thanks Guido!).
- one-to-many relationships now maintain a list of positive
parent-child associations within the flush, preventing
previous parents marked as deleted from cascading a
delete or NULL foreign key set on those child objects,
despite the end-user not removing the child from the old
association. [ticket:1764]
- A collection lazy load will switch off default
eagerloading on the reverse many-to-one side, since
that loading is by definition unnecessary. [ticket:1495]
- Session.refresh() now does an equivalent expire()
on the given instance first, so that the "refresh-expire"
cascade is propagated. Previously, refresh() was
not affected in any way by the presence of "refresh-expire"
cascade. This is a change in behavior versus that
of 0.6beta2, where the "lockmode" flag passed to refresh()
would cause a version check to occur. Since the instance
is first expired, refresh() always upgrades the object
to the most recent version.
- The 'refresh-expire' cascade, when reaching a pending object,
will expunge the object if the cascade also includes
"delete-orphan", or will simply detach it otherwise.
[ticket:1754]
- id(obj) is no longer used internally within topological.py,
as the sorting functions now require hashable objects
only. [ticket:1756]
- The ORM will set the docstring of all generated descriptors
to None by default. This can be overridden using 'doc'
(or if using Sphinx, attribute docstrings work too).
- Added kw argument 'doc' to all mapper property callables
as well as Column(). Will assemble the string 'doc' as
the '__doc__' attribute on the descriptor.
- Usage of version_id_col on a backend that supports
cursor.rowcount for execute() but not executemany() now works
when a delete is issued (already worked for saves, since those
don't use executemany()). For a backend that doesn't support
cursor.rowcount at all, a warning is emitted the same
as with saves. [ticket:1761]
- The ORM now short-term caches the "compiled" form of
insert() and update() constructs when flushing lists of
objects of all the same class, thereby avoiding redundant
compilation per individual INSERT/UPDATE within an
individual flush() call.
- internal getattr(), setattr(), getcommitted() methods
on ColumnProperty, CompositeProperty, RelationshipProperty
have been underscored (i.e. are private), signature has
changed.
- engines
- The C extension now also works with DBAPIs which use custom
sequences as row (and not only tuples). [ticket:1757]
- sql
- Restored some bind-labeling logic from 0.5 which ensures
that tables with column names that overlap another column
of the form "<tablename>_<columnname>" won't produce
errors if column._label is used as a bind name during
an UPDATE. Test coverage which wasn't present in 0.5
has been added. [ticket:1755]
- somejoin.select(fold_equivalents=True) is no longer
deprecated, and will eventually be rolled into a more
comprehensive version of the feature for [ticket:1729].
- the Numeric type raises an *enormous* warning when expected
to convert floats to Decimal from a DBAPI that returns floats.
This includes SQLite, Sybase, MS-SQL. [ticket:1759]
- Fixed an error in expression typing which caused an endless
loop for expressions with two NULL types.
- Fixed bug in execution_options() feature whereby the existing
Transaction and other state information from the parent
connection would not be propagated to the sub-connection.
- Added new 'compiled_cache' execution option. A dictionary
where Compiled objects will be cached when the Connection
compiles a clause expression into a dialect- and parameter-
specific Compiled object. It is the user's responsibility to
manage the size of this dictionary, which will have keys
corresponding to the dialect, clause element, the column
names within the VALUES or SET clause of an INSERT or UPDATE,
as well as the "batch" mode for an INSERT or UPDATE statement.
- Added get_pk_constraint() to reflection.Inspector, similar
to get_primary_keys() except returns a dict that includes the
name of the constraint, for supported backends (PG so far).
[ticket:1769]
- Table.create() and Table.drop() no longer apply metadata-
level create/drop events. [ticket:1771]
- ext
- the compiler extension now allows @compiles decorators
on base classes that extend to child classes, @compiles
decorators on child classes that aren't broken by a
@compiles decorator on the base class.
- Declarative will raise an informative error message
if a non-mapped class attribute is referenced in the
string-based relationship() arguments.
- Further reworked the "mixin" logic in declarative to
additionally allow __mapper_args__ as a @classproperty
on a mixin, such as to dynamically assign polymorphic_identity.
- postgresql
- Postgresql now reflects sequence names associated with
SERIAL columns correctly, after the name of of the sequence
has been changed. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the patch.
[ticket:1071]
- Repaired missing import in psycopg2._PGNumeric type when
unknown numeric is received.
- psycopg2/pg8000 dialects now aware of REAL[], FLOAT[],
DOUBLE_PRECISION[], NUMERIC[] return types without
raising an exception.
- Postgresql reflects the name of primary key constraints,
if one exists. [ticket:1769]
- oracle
- Now using cx_oracle output converters so that the
DBAPI returns natively the kinds of values we prefer:
- NUMBER values with positive precision + scale convert
to cx_oracle.STRING and then to Decimal. This
allows perfect precision for the Numeric type when
using cx_oracle. [ticket:1759]
- STRING/FIXED_CHAR now convert to unicode natively.
SQLAlchemy's String types then don't need to
apply any kind of conversions.
- firebird
- The functionality of result.rowcount can be disabled on a
per-engine basis by setting 'enable_rowcount=False'
on create_engine(). Normally, cursor.rowcount is called
after any UPDATE or DELETE statement unconditionally,
because the cursor is then closed and Firebird requires
an open cursor in order to get a rowcount. This
call is slightly expensive however so it can be disabled.
To re-enable on a per-execution basis, the
'enable_rowcount=True' execution option may be used.
- examples
- Updated attribute_shard.py example to use a more robust
method of searching a Query for binary expressions which
compare columns against literal values.
0.6beta3
========
- orm
- Major feature: Added new "subquery" loading capability to
relationship(). This is an eager loading option which
generates a second SELECT for each collection represented
in a query, across all parents at once. The query
re-issues the original end-user query wrapped in a subquery,
applies joins out to the target collection, and loads
all those collections fully in one result, similar to
"joined" eager loading but using all inner joins and not
re-fetching full parent rows repeatedly (as most DBAPIs seem
to do, even if columns are skipped). Subquery loading is
available at mapper config level using "lazy='subquery'" and
at the query options level using "subqueryload(props..)",
"subqueryload_all(props...)". [ticket:1675]
- To accomodate the fact that there are now two kinds of eager
loading available, the new names for eagerload() and
eagerload_all() are joinedload() and joinedload_all(). The
old names will remain as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- The "lazy" flag on the relationship() function now accepts
a string argument for all kinds of loading: "select", "joined",
"subquery", "noload" and "dynamic", where the default is now
"select". The old values of True/
False/None still retain their usual meanings and will remain
as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- Added with_hint() method to Query() construct. This calls
directly down to select().with_hint() and also accepts
entities as well as tables and aliases. See with_hint() in the
SQL section below. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug in Query whereby calling q.join(prop).from_self(...).
join(prop) would fail to render the second join outside the
subquery, when joining on the same criterion as was on the
inside.
- Fixed bug in Query whereby the usage of aliased() constructs
would fail if the underlying table (but not the actual alias)
were referenced inside the subquery generated by
q.from_self() or q.select_from().
- Fixed bug which affected all eagerload() and similar options
such that "remote" eager loads, i.e. eagerloads off of a lazy
load such as query(A).options(eagerload(A.b, B.c))
wouldn't eagerload anything, but using eagerload("b.c") would
work fine.
- Query gains an add_columns(*columns) method which is a multi-
version of add_column(col). add_column(col) is future
deprecated.
- Query.join() will detect if the end result will be
"FROM A JOIN A", and will raise an error if so.
- Query.join(Cls.propname, from_joinpoint=True) will check more
carefully that "Cls" is compatible with the current joinpoint,
and act the same way as Query.join("propname", from_joinpoint=True)
in that regard.
- sql
- Added with_hint() method to select() construct. Specify
a table/alias, hint text, and optional dialect name, and
"hints" will be rendered in the appropriate place in the
statement. Works for Oracle, Sybase, MySQL. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug introduced in 0.6beta2 where column labels would
render inside of column expressions already assigned a label.
[ticket:1747]
- postgresql
- The psycopg2 dialect will log NOTICE messages via the
"sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql" logger name.
[ticket:877]
- the TIME and TIMESTAMP types are now availble from the
postgresql dialect directly, which add the PG-specific
argument 'precision' to both. 'precision' and
'timezone' are correctly reflected for both TIME and
TIMEZONE types. [ticket:997]
- mysql
- No longer guessing that TINYINT(1) should be BOOLEAN
when reflecting - TINYINT(1) is returned. Use Boolean/
BOOLEAN in table definition to get boolean conversion
behavior. [ticket:1752]
- oracle
- The Oracle dialect will issue VARCHAR type definitions
using character counts, i.e. VARCHAR2(50 CHAR), so that
the column is sized in terms of characters and not bytes.
Column reflection of character types will also use
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.CHAR_LENGTH instead of
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.DATA_LENGTH. Both of these behaviors take
effect when the server version is 9 or higher - for
version 8, the old behaviors are used. [ticket:1744]
- declarative
- Using a mixin won't break if the mixin implements an
unpredictable __getattribute__(), i.e. Zope interfaces.
[ticket:1746]
- Using @classdecorator and similar on mixins to define
__tablename__, __table_args__, etc. now works if
the method references attributes on the ultimate
subclass. [ticket:1749]
- relationships and columns with foreign keys aren't
allowed on declarative mixins, sorry. [ticket:1751]
- ext
- The sqlalchemy.orm.shard module now becomes an extension,
sqlalchemy.ext.horizontal_shard. The old import
works with a deprecation warning.
0.6beta2
========
- py3k
- Improved the installation/test setup regarding Python 3,
now that Distribute runs on Py3k. distribute_setup.py
is now included. See README.py3k for Python 3 installation/
testing instructions.
- orm
- The official name for the relation() function is now
relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational
algebra term. relation() however will remain available
in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
- Added "version_id_generator" argument to Mapper, this is a
callable that, given the current value of the "version_id_col",
returns the next version number. Can be used for alternate
versioning schemes such as uuid, timestamps. [ticket:1692]
- added "lockmode" kw argument to Session.refresh(), will
pass through the string value to Query the same as
in with_lockmode(), will also do version check for a
version_id_col-enabled mapping.
- Fixed bug whereby calling query(A).join(A.bs).add_entity(B)
in a joined inheritance scenario would double-add B as a
target and produce an invalid query. [ticket:1188]
- Fixed bug in session.rollback() which involved not removing
formerly "pending" objects from the session before
re-integrating "deleted" objects, typically occured with
natural primary keys. If there was a primary key conflict
between them, the attach of the deleted would fail
internally. The formerly "pending" objects are now expunged
first. [ticket:1674]
- Removed a lot of logging that nobody really cares about,
logging that remains will respond to live changes in the
log level. No significant overhead is added. [ticket:1719]
- Fixed bug in session.merge() which prevented dict-like
collections from merging.
- session.merge() works with relations that specifically
don't include "merge" in their cascade options - the target
is ignored completely.
- session.merge() will not expire existing scalar attributes
on an existing target if the target has a value for that
attribute, even if the incoming merged doesn't have
a value for the attribute. This prevents unnecessary loads
on existing items. Will still mark the attr as expired
if the destination doesn't have the attr, though, which
fulfills some contracts of deferred cols. [ticket:1681]
- The "allow_null_pks" flag is now called "allow_partial_pks",
defaults to True, acts like it did in 0.5 again. Except,
it also is implemented within merge() such that a SELECT
won't be issued for an incoming instance with partially
NULL primary key if the flag is False. [ticket:1680]
- Fixed bug in 0.6-reworked "many-to-one" optimizations
such that a many-to-one that is against a non-primary key
column on the remote table (i.e. foreign key against a
UNIQUE column) will pull the "old" value in from the
database during a change, since if it's in the session
we will need it for proper history/backref accounting,
and we can't pull from the local identity map on a
non-primary key column. [ticket:1737]
- fixed internal error which would occur if calling has()
or similar complex expression on a single-table inheritance
relation(). [ticket:1731]
- query.one() no longer applies LIMIT to the query, this to
ensure that it fully counts all object identities present
in the result, even in the case where joins may conceal
multiple identities for two or more rows. As a bonus,
one() can now also be called with a query that issued
from_statement() to start with since it no longer modifies
the query. [ticket:1688]
- query.get() now returns None if queried for an identifier
that is present in the identity map with a different class
than the one requested, i.e. when using polymorphic loading.
[ticket:1727]
- A major fix in query.join(), when the "on" clause is an
attribute of an aliased() construct, but there is already
an existing join made out to a compatible target, query properly
joins to the right aliased() construct instead of sticking
onto the right side of the existing join. [ticket:1706]
- Slight improvement to the fix for [ticket:1362] to not issue
needless updates of the primary key column during a so-called
"row switch" operation, i.e. add + delete of two objects
with the same PK.
- Now uses sqlalchemy.orm.exc.DetachedInstanceError when an
attribute load or refresh action fails due to object
being detached from any Session. UnboundExecutionError
is specific to engines bound to sessions and statements.
- Query called in the context of an expression will render
disambiguating labels in all cases. Note that this does
not apply to the existing .statement and .subquery()
accessor/method, which still honors the .with_labels()
setting that defaults to False.
- Query.union() retains disambiguating labels within the
returned statement, thus avoiding various SQL composition
errors which can result from column name conflicts.
[ticket:1676]
- Fixed bug in attribute history that inadvertently invoked
__eq__ on mapped instances.
- Some internal streamlining of object loading grants a
small speedup for large results, estimates are around
10-15%. Gave the "state" internals a good solid
cleanup with less complexity, datamembers,
method calls, blank dictionary creates.
- Documentation clarification for query.delete()
[ticket:1689]
- Fixed cascade bug in many-to-one relation() when attribute
was set to None, introduced in r6711 (cascade deleted
items into session during add()).
- Calling query.order_by() or query.distinct() before calling
query.select_from(), query.with_polymorphic(), or
query.from_statement() raises an exception now instead of
silently dropping those criterion. [ticket:1736]
- query.scalar() now raises an exception if more than one
row is returned. All other behavior remains the same.
[ticket:1735]
- Fixed bug which caused "row switch" logic, that is an
INSERT and DELETE replaced by an UPDATE, to fail when
version_id_col was in use. [ticket:1692]
- sql
- join() will now simulate a NATURAL JOIN by default. Meaning,
if the left side is a join, it will attempt to join the right
side to the rightmost side of the left first, and not raise
any exceptions about ambiguous join conditions if successful
even if there are further join targets across the rest of
the left. [ticket:1714]
- The most common result processors conversion function were
moved to the new "processors" module. Dialect authors are
encouraged to use those functions whenever they correspond
to their needs instead of implementing custom ones.
- SchemaType and subclasses Boolean, Enum are now serializable,
including their ddl listener and other event callables.
[ticket:1694] [ticket:1698]
- Some platforms will now interpret certain literal values
as non-bind parameters, rendered literally into the SQL
statement. This to support strict SQL-92 rules that are
enforced by some platforms including MS-SQL and Sybase.
In this model, bind parameters aren't allowed in the
columns clause of a SELECT, nor are certain ambiguous
expressions like "?=?". When this mode is enabled, the base
compiler will render the binds as inline literals, but only across
strings and numeric values. Other types such as dates
will raise an error, unless the dialect subclass defines
a literal rendering function for those. The bind parameter
must have an embedded literal value already or an error
is raised (i.e. won't work with straight bindparam('x')).
Dialects can also expand upon the areas where binds are not
accepted, such as within argument lists of functions
(which don't work on MS-SQL when native SQL binding is used).
- Added "unicode_errors" parameter to String, Unicode, etc.
Behaves like the 'errors' keyword argument to
the standard library's string.decode() functions. This flag
requires that `convert_unicode` is set to `"force"` - otherwise,
SQLAlchemy is not guaranteed to handle the task of unicode
conversion. Note that this flag adds significant performance
overhead to row-fetching operations for backends that already
return unicode objects natively (which most DBAPIs do). This
flag should only be used as an absolute last resort for reading
strings from a column with varied or corrupted encodings,
which only applies to databases that accept invalid encodings
in the first place (i.e. MySQL. *not* PG, Sqlite, etc.)
- Added math negation operator support, -x.
- FunctionElement subclasses are now directly executable the
same way any func.foo() construct is, with automatic
SELECT being applied when passed to execute().
- The "type" and "bind" keyword arguments of a func.foo()
construct are now local to "func." constructs and are
not part of the FunctionElement base class, allowing
a "type" to be handled in a custom constructor or
class-level variable.
- Restored the keys() method to ResultProxy.
- The type/expression system now does a more complete job
of determining the return type from an expression
as well as the adaptation of the Python operator into
a SQL operator, based on the full left/right/operator
of the given expression. In particular
the date/time/interval system created for Postgresql
EXTRACT in [ticket:1647] has now been generalized into
the type system. The previous behavior which often
occured of an expression "column + literal" forcing
the type of "literal" to be the same as that of "column"
will now usually not occur - the type of
"literal" is first derived from the Python type of the
literal, assuming standard native Python types + date
types, before falling back to that of the known type
on the other side of the expression. If the
"fallback" type is compatible (i.e. CHAR from String),
the literal side will use that. TypeDecorator
types override this by default to coerce the "literal"
side unconditionally, which can be changed by implementing
the coerce_compared_value() method. Also part of
[ticket:1683].
- Made sqlalchemy.sql.expressions.Executable part of public
API, used for any expression construct that can be sent to
execute(). FunctionElement now inherits Executable so that
it gains execution_options(), which are also propagated
to the select() that's generated within execute().
Executable in turn subclasses _Generative which marks
any ClauseElement that supports the @_generative
decorator - these may also become "public" for the benefit
of the compiler extension at some point.
- A change to the solution for [ticket:1579] - an end-user
defined bind parameter name that directly conflicts with
a column-named bind generated directly from the SET or
VALUES clause of an update/insert generates a compile error.
This reduces call counts and eliminates some cases where
undesirable name conflicts could still occur.
- Column() requires a type if it has no foreign keys (this is
not new). An error is now raised if a Column() has no type
and no foreign keys. [ticket:1705]
- the "scale" argument of the Numeric() type is honored when
coercing a returned floating point value into a string
on its way to Decimal - this allows accuracy to function
on SQLite, MySQL. [ticket:1717]
- the copy() method of Column now copies over uninitialized
"on table attach" events. Helps with the new declarative
"mixin" capability.
- engines
- Added an optional C extension to speed up the sql layer by
reimplementing RowProxy and the most common result processors.
The actual speedups will depend heavily on your DBAPI and
the mix of datatypes used in your tables, and can vary from
a 30% improvement to more than 200%. It also provides a modest
(~15-20%) indirect improvement to ORM speed for large queries.
Note that it is *not* built/installed by default.
See README for installation instructions.
- the execution sequence pulls all rowcount/last inserted ID
info from the cursor before commit() is called on the
DBAPI connection in an "autocommit" scenario. This helps
mxodbc with rowcount and is probably a good idea overall.
- Opened up logging a bit such that isEnabledFor() is called
more often, so that changes to the log level for engine/pool
will be reflected on next connect. This adds a small
amount of method call overhead. It's negligible and will make
life a lot easier for all those situations when logging
just happens to be configured after create_engine() is called.
[ticket:1719]
- The assert_unicode flag is deprecated. SQLAlchemy will raise
a warning in all cases where it is asked to encode a non-unicode
Python string, as well as when a Unicode or UnicodeType type
is explicitly passed a bytestring. The String type will do nothing
for DBAPIs that already accept Python unicode objects.
- Bind parameters are sent as a tuple instead of a list. Some
backend drivers will not accept bind parameters as a list.
- threadlocal engine wasn't properly closing the connection
upon close() - fixed that.
- Transaction object doesn't rollback or commit if it isn't
"active", allows more accurate nesting of begin/rollback/commit.
- Python unicode objects as binds result in the Unicode type,
not string, thus eliminating a certain class of unicode errors
on drivers that don't support unicode binds.
- Added "logging_name" argument to create_engine(), Pool() constructor
as well as "pool_logging_name" argument to create_engine() which
filters down to that of Pool. Issues the given string name
within the "name" field of logging messages instead of the default
hex identifier string. [ticket:1555]
- The visit_pool() method of Dialect is removed, and replaced with
on_connect(). This method returns a callable which receives
the raw DBAPI connection after each one is created. The callable
is assembled into a first_connect/connect pool listener by the
connection strategy if non-None. Provides a simpler interface
for dialects.
- StaticPool now initializes, disposes and recreates without
opening a new connection - the connection is only opened when
first requested. dispose() also works on AssertionPool now.
[ticket:1728]
- metadata
- Added the ability to strip schema information when using
"tometadata" by passing "schema=None" as an argument. If schema
is not specified then the table's schema is retained.
[ticket: 1673]
- declarative
- DeclarativeMeta exclusively uses cls.__dict__ (not dict_)
as the source of class information; _as_declarative exclusively
uses the dict_ passed to it as the source of class information
(which when using DeclarativeMeta is cls.__dict__). This should
in theory make it easier for custom metaclasses to modify
the state passed into _as_declarative.
- declarative now accepts mixin classes directly, as a means
to provide common functional and column-based elements on
all subclasses, as well as a means to propagate a fixed
set of __table_args__ or __mapper_args__ to subclasses.
For custom combinations of __table_args__/__mapper_args__ from
an inherited mixin to local, descriptors can now be used.
New details are all up in the Declarative documentation.
Thanks to Chris Withers for putting up with my strife
on this. [ticket:1707]
- the __mapper_args__ dict is copied when propagating to a subclass,
and is taken straight off the class __dict__ to avoid any
propagation from the parent. mapper inheritance already
propagates the things you want from the parent mapper.
[ticket:1393]
- An exception is raised when a single-table subclass specifies
a column that is already present on the base class.
[ticket:1732]
- mysql
- Fixed reflection bug whereby when COLLATE was present,
nullable flag and server defaults would not be reflected.
[ticket:1655]
- Fixed reflection of TINYINT(1) "boolean" columns defined with
integer flags like UNSIGNED.
- Further fixes for the mysql-connector dialect. [ticket:1668]
- Composite PK table on InnoDB where the "autoincrement" column
isn't first will emit an explicit "KEY" phrase within
CREATE TABLE thereby avoiding errors, [ticket:1496]
- Added reflection/create table support for a wide range
of MySQL keywords. [ticket:1634]
- Fixed import error which could occur reflecting tables on
a Windows host [ticket:1580]
- mssql
- Re-established support for the pymssql dialect.
- Various fixes for implicit returning, reflection,
etc. - the MS-SQL dialects aren't quite complete
in 0.6 yet (but are close)
- Added basic support for mxODBC [ticket:1710].
- Removed the text_as_varchar option.
- oracle
- "out" parameters require a type that is supported by
cx_oracle. An error will be raised if no cx_oracle
type can be found.
- Oracle 'DATE' now does not perform any result processing,
as the DATE type in Oracle stores full date+time objects,
that's what you'll get. Note that the generic types.Date
type *will* still call value.date() on incoming values,
however. When reflecting a table, the reflected type
will be 'DATE'.
- Added preliminary support for Oracle's WITH_UNICODE
mode. At the very least this establishes initial
support for cx_Oracle with Python 3. When WITH_UNICODE
mode is used in Python 2.xx, a large and scary warning
is emitted asking that the user seriously consider
the usage of this difficult mode of operation.
[ticket:1670]
- The except_() method now renders as MINUS on Oracle,
which is more or less equivalent on that platform.
[ticket:1712]
- Added support for rendering and reflecting
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, i.e. TIMESTAMP(timezone=True).
[ticket:651]
- Oracle INTERVAL type can now be reflected.
- sqlite
- Added "native_datetime=True" flag to create_engine().
This will cause the DATE and TIMESTAMP types to skip
all bind parameter and result row processing, under
the assumption that PARSE_DECLTYPES has been enabled
on the connection. Note that this is not entirely
compatible with the "func.current_date()", which
will be returned as a string. [ticket:1685]
- sybase
- Implemented a preliminary working dialect for Sybase,
with sub-implementations for Python-Sybase as well
as Pyodbc. Handles table
creates/drops and basic round trip functionality.
Does not yet include reflection or comprehensive
support of unicode/special expressions/etc.
- examples
- Changed the beaker cache example a bit to have a separate
RelationCache option for lazyload caching. This object
does a lookup among any number of potential attributes
more efficiently by grouping several into a common structure.
Both FromCache and RelationCache are simpler individually.
- documentation
- Major cleanup work in the docs to link class, function, and
method names into the API docs. [ticket:1700/1702/1703]
0.6beta1
========
- Major Release
- For the full set of feature descriptions, see
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/06Migration .
This document is a work in progress.
- All bug fixes and feature enhancements from the most
recent 0.5 version and below are also included within 0.6.
- Platforms targeted now include Python 2.4/2.5/2.6, Python
3.1, Jython2.5.
- orm
- Changes to query.update() and query.delete():
- the 'expire' option on query.update() has been renamed to
'fetch', thus matching that of query.delete().
'expire' is deprecated and issues a warning.
- query.update() and query.delete() both default to
'evaluate' for the synchronize strategy.
- the 'synchronize' strategy for update() and delete()
raises an error on failure. There is no implicit fallback
onto "fetch". Failure of evaluation is based on the
structure of criteria, so success/failure is deterministic
based on code structure.
- Enhancements on many-to-one relations:
- many-to-one relations now fire off a lazyload in fewer
cases, including in most cases will not fetch the "old"
value when a new one is replaced.
- many-to-one relation to a joined-table subclass now uses
get() for a simple load (known as the "use_get"
condition), i.e. Related->Sub(Base), without the need to
redefine the primaryjoin condition in terms of the base
table. [ticket:1186]
- specifying a foreign key with a declarative column, i.e.
ForeignKey(MyRelatedClass.id) doesn't break the "use_get"
condition from taking place [ticket:1492]
- relation(), eagerload(), and eagerload_all() now feature
an option called "innerjoin". Specify `True` or `False` to
control whether an eager join is constructed as an INNER
or OUTER join. Default is `False` as always. The mapper
options will override whichever setting is specified on
relation(). Should generally be set for many-to-one, not
nullable foreign key relations to allow improved join
performance. [ticket:1544]
- the behavior of eagerloading such that the main query is
wrapped in a subquery when LIMIT/OFFSET are present now
makes an exception for the case when all eager loads are
many-to-one joins. In those cases, the eager joins are
against the parent table directly along with the
limit/offset without the extra overhead of a subquery,
since a many-to-one join does not add rows to the result.
- Enhancements / Changes on Session.merge():
- the "dont_load=True" flag on Session.merge() is deprecated
and is now "load=False".
- Session.merge() is performance optimized, using half the
call counts for "load=False" mode compared to 0.5 and
significantly fewer SQL queries in the case of collections
for "load=True" mode.
- merge() will not issue a needless merge of attributes if the
given instance is the same instance which is already present.
- merge() now also merges the "options" associated with a given
state, i.e. those passed through query.options() which follow
along with an instance, such as options to eagerly- or
lazyily- load various attributes. This is essential for
the construction of highly integrated caching schemes. This
is a subtle behavioral change vs. 0.5.
- A bug was fixed regarding the serialization of the "loader
path" present on an instance's state, which is also necessary
when combining the usage of merge() with serialized state
and associated options that should be preserved.
- The all new merge() is showcased in a new comprehensive
example of how to integrate Beaker with SQLAlchemy. See
the notes in the "examples" note below.
- Primary key values can now be changed on a joined-table inheritance
object, and ON UPDATE CASCADE will be taken into account when
the flush happens. Set the new "passive_updates" flag to False
on mapper() when using SQLite or MySQL/MyISAM. [ticket:1362]
- flush() now detects when a primary key column was updated by
an ON UPDATE CASCADE operation from another primary key, and
can then locate the row for a subsequent UPDATE on the new PK
value. This occurs when a relation() is there to establish
the relationship as well as passive_updates=True. [ticket:1671]
- the "save-update" cascade will now cascade the pending *removed*
values from a scalar or collection attribute into the new session
during an add() operation. This so that the flush() operation
will also delete or modify rows of those disconnected items.
- Using a "dynamic" loader with a "secondary" table now produces
a query where the "secondary" table is *not* aliased. This
allows the secondary Table object to be used in the "order_by"
attribute of the relation(), and also allows it to be used
in filter criterion against the dynamic relation.
[ticket:1531]
- relation() with uselist=False will emit a warning when
an eager or lazy load locates more than one valid value for
the row. This may be due to primaryjoin/secondaryjoin
conditions which aren't appropriate for an eager LEFT OUTER
JOIN or for other conditions. [ticket:1643]
- an explicit check occurs when a synonym() is used with
map_column=True, when a ColumnProperty (deferred or otherwise)
exists separately in the properties dictionary sent to mapper
with the same keyname. Instead of silently replacing
the existing property (and possible options on that property),
an error is raised. [ticket:1633]
- a "dynamic" loader sets up its query criterion at construction
time so that the actual query is returned from non-cloning
accessors like "statement".
- the "named tuple" objects returned when iterating a
Query() are now pickleable.
- mapping to a select() construct now requires that you
make an alias() out of it distinctly. This to eliminate
confusion over such issues as [ticket:1542]
- query.join() has been reworked to provide more consistent
behavior and more flexibility (includes [ticket:1537])
- query.select_from() accepts multiple clauses to produce
multiple comma separated entries within the FROM clause.
Useful when selecting from multiple-homed join() clauses.
- query.select_from() also accepts mapped classes, aliased()
constructs, and mappers as arguments. In particular this
helps when querying from multiple joined-table classes to ensure
the full join gets rendered.
- query.get() can be used with a mapping to an outer join
where one or more of the primary key values are None.
[ticket:1135]
- query.from_self(), query.union(), others which do a
"SELECT * from (SELECT...)" type of nesting will do
a better job translating column expressions within the subquery
to the columns clause of the outer query. This is
potentially backwards incompatible with 0.5, in that this
may break queries with literal expressions that do not have labels
applied (i.e. literal('foo'), etc.)
[ticket:1568]
- relation primaryjoin and secondaryjoin now check that they
are column-expressions, not just clause elements. this prohibits
things like FROM expressions being placed there directly.
[ticket:1622]
- `expression.null()` is fully understood the same way
None is when comparing an object/collection-referencing
attribute within query.filter(), filter_by(), etc.
[ticket:1415]
- added "make_transient()" helper function which transforms a
persistent/ detached instance into a transient one (i.e.
deletes the instance_key and removes from any session.)
[ticket:1052]
- the allow_null_pks flag on mapper() is deprecated, and
the feature is turned "on" by default. This means that
a row which has a non-null value for any of its primary key
columns will be considered an identity. The need for this
scenario typically only occurs when mapping to an outer join.
[ticket:1339]
- the mechanics of "backref" have been fully merged into the
finer grained "back_populates" system, and take place entirely
within the _generate_backref() method of RelationProperty. This
makes the initialization procedure of RelationProperty
simpler and allows easier propagation of settings (such as from
subclasses of RelationProperty) into the reverse reference.
The internal BackRef() is gone and backref() returns a plain
tuple that is understood by RelationProperty.
- The version_id_col feature on mapper() will raise a warning when
used with dialects that don't support "rowcount" adequately.
[ticket:1569]
- added "execution_options()" to Query, to so options can be
passed to the resulting statement. Currently only
Select-statements have these options, and the only option
used is "stream_results", and the only dialect which knows
"stream_results" is psycopg2.
- Query.yield_per() will set the "stream_results" statement
option automatically.
- Deprecated or removed:
* 'allow_null_pks' flag on mapper() is deprecated. It does
nothing now and the setting is "on" in all cases.
* 'transactional' flag on sessionmaker() and others is
removed. Use 'autocommit=True' to indicate 'transactional=False'.
* 'polymorphic_fetch' argument on mapper() is removed.
Loading can be controlled using the 'with_polymorphic'
option.
* 'select_table' argument on mapper() is removed. Use
'with_polymorphic=("*", <some selectable>)' for this
functionality.
* 'proxy' argument on synonym() is removed. This flag
did nothing throughout 0.5, as the "proxy generation"
behavior is now automatic.
* Passing a single list of elements to eagerload(),
eagerload_all(), contains_eager(), lazyload(),
defer(), and undefer() instead of multiple positional
*args is deprecated.
* Passing a single list of elements to query.order_by(),
query.group_by(), query.join(), or query.outerjoin()
instead of multiple positional *args is deprecated.
* query.iterate_instances() is removed. Use query.instances().
* Query.query_from_parent() is removed. Use the
sqlalchemy.orm.with_parent() function to produce a
"parent" clause, or alternatively query.with_parent().
* query._from_self() is removed, use query.from_self()
instead.
* the "comparator" argument to composite() is removed.
Use "comparator_factory".
* RelationProperty._get_join() is removed.
* the 'echo_uow' flag on Session is removed. Use
logging on the "sqlalchemy.orm.unitofwork" name.
* session.clear() is removed. use session.expunge_all().
* session.save(), session.update(), session.save_or_update()
are removed. Use session.add() and session.add_all().
* the "objects" flag on session.flush() remains deprecated.
* the "dont_load=True" flag on session.merge() is deprecated
in favor of "load=False".
* ScopedSession.mapper remains deprecated. See the
usage recipe at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/SessionAwareMapper
* passing an InstanceState (internal SQLAlchemy state object) to
attributes.init_collection() or attributes.get_history() is
deprecated. These functions are public API and normally
expect a regular mapped object instance.
* the 'engine' parameter to declarative_base() is removed.
Use the 'bind' keyword argument.
- sql
- the "autocommit" flag on select() and text() as well
as select().autocommit() are deprecated - now call
.execution_options(autocommit=True) on either of those
constructs, also available directly on Connection and orm.Query.
- the autoincrement flag on column now indicates the column
which should be linked to cursor.lastrowid, if that method
is used. See the API docs for details.
- an executemany() now requires that all bound parameter
sets require that all keys are present which are
present in the first bound parameter set. The structure
and behavior of an insert/update statement is very much
determined by the first parameter set, including which
defaults are going to fire off, and a minimum of
guesswork is performed with all the rest so that performance
is not impacted. For this reason defaults would otherwise
silently "fail" for missing parameters, so this is now guarded
against. [ticket:1566]
- returning() support is native to insert(), update(),
delete(). Implementations of varying levels of
functionality exist for Postgresql, Firebird, MSSQL and
Oracle. returning() can be called explicitly with column
expressions which are then returned in the resultset,
usually via fetchone() or first().
insert() constructs will also use RETURNING implicitly to
get newly generated primary key values, if the database
version in use supports it (a version number check is
performed). This occurs if no end-user returning() was
specified.
- union(), intersect(), except() and other "compound" types
of statements have more consistent behavior w.r.t.
parenthesizing. Each compound element embedded within
another will now be grouped with parenthesis - previously,
the first compound element in the list would not be grouped,
as SQLite doesn't like a statement to start with
parenthesis. However, Postgresql in particular has
precedence rules regarding INTERSECT, and it is
more consistent for parenthesis to be applied equally
to all sub-elements. So now, the workaround for SQLite
is also what the workaround for PG was previously -
when nesting compound elements, the first one usually needs
".alias().select()" called on it to wrap it inside
of a subquery. [ticket:1665]
- insert() and update() constructs can now embed bindparam()
objects using names that match the keys of columns. These
bind parameters will circumvent the usual route to those
keys showing up in the VALUES or SET clause of the generated
SQL. [ticket:1579]
- the Binary type now returns data as a Python string
(or a "bytes" type in Python 3), instead of the built-
in "buffer" type. This allows symmetric round trips
of binary data. [ticket:1524]
- Added a tuple_() construct, allows sets of expressions
to be compared to another set, typically with IN against
composite primary keys or similar. Also accepts an
IN with multiple columns. The "scalar select can
have only one column" error message is removed - will
rely upon the database to report problems with
col mismatch.
- User-defined "default" and "onupdate" callables which
accept a context should now call upon
"context.current_parameters" to get at the dictionary
of bind parameters currently being processed. This
dict is available in the same way regardless of
single-execute or executemany-style statement execution.
- multi-part schema names, i.e. with dots such as
"dbo.master", are now rendered in select() labels
with underscores for dots, i.e. "dbo_master_table_column".
This is a "friendly" label that behaves better
in result sets. [ticket:1428]
- removed needless "counter" behavior with select()
labelnames that match a column name in the table,
i.e. generates "tablename_id" for "id", instead of
"tablename_id_1" in an attempt to avoid naming
conflicts, when the table has a column actually
named "tablename_id" - this is because
the labeling logic is always applied to all columns
so a naming conflict will never occur.
- calling expr.in_([]), i.e. with an empty list, emits a warning
before issuing the usual "expr != expr" clause. The
"expr != expr" can be very expensive, and it's preferred
that the user not issue in_() if the list is empty,
instead simply not querying, or modifying the criterion
as appropriate for more complex situations.
[ticket:1628]
- Added "execution_options()" to select()/text(), which set the
default options for the Connection. See the note in "engines".
- Deprecated or removed:
* "scalar" flag on select() is removed, use
select.as_scalar().
* "shortname" attribute on bindparam() is removed.
* postgres_returning, firebird_returning flags on
insert(), update(), delete() are deprecated, use
the new returning() method.
* fold_equivalents flag on join is deprecated (will remain
until [ticket:1131] is implemented)
- engines
- transaction isolation level may be specified with
create_engine(... isolation_level="..."); available on
postgresql and sqlite. [ticket:443]
- Connection has execution_options(), generative method
which accepts keywords that affect how the statement
is executed w.r.t. the DBAPI. Currently supports
"stream_results", causes psycopg2 to use a server
side cursor for that statement, as well as
"autocommit", which is the new location for the "autocommit"
option from select() and text(). select() and
text() also have .execution_options() as well as
ORM Query().
- fixed the import for entrypoint-driven dialects to
not rely upon silly tb_info trick to determine import
error status. [ticket:1630]
- added first() method to ResultProxy, returns first row and
closes result set immediately.
- RowProxy objects are now pickleable, i.e. the object returned
by result.fetchone(), result.fetchall() etc.
- RowProxy no longer has a close() method, as the row no longer
maintains a reference to the parent. Call close() on
the parent ResultProxy instead, or use autoclose.
- ResultProxy internals have been overhauled to greatly reduce
method call counts when fetching columns. Can provide a large
speed improvement (up to more than 100%) when fetching large
result sets. The improvement is larger when fetching columns
that have no type-level processing applied and when using
results as tuples (instead of as dictionaries). Many
thanks to Elixir's Gaëtan de Menten for this dramatic
improvement ! [ticket:1586]
- Databases which rely upon postfetch of "last inserted id"
to get at a generated sequence value (i.e. MySQL, MS-SQL)
now work correctly when there is a composite primary key
where the "autoincrement" column is not the first primary
key column in the table.
- the last_inserted_ids() method has been renamed to the
descriptor "inserted_primary_key".
- setting echo=False on create_engine() now sets the loglevel
to WARN instead of NOTSET. This so that logging can be
disabled for a particular engine even if logging
for "sqlalchemy.engine" is enabled overall. Note that the
default setting of "echo" is `None`. [ticket:1554]
- ConnectionProxy now has wrapper methods for all transaction
lifecycle events, including begin(), rollback(), commit()
begin_nested(), begin_prepared(), prepare(), release_savepoint(),
etc.
- Connection pool logging now uses both INFO and DEBUG
log levels for logging. INFO is for major events such
as invalidated connections, DEBUG for all the acquire/return
logging. `echo_pool` can be False, None, True or "debug"
the same way as `echo` works.
- All pyodbc-dialects now support extra pyodbc-specific
kw arguments 'ansi', 'unicode_results', 'autocommit'.
[ticket:1621]
- the "threadlocal" engine has been rewritten and simplified
and now supports SAVEPOINT operations.
- deprecated or removed
* result.last_inserted_ids() is deprecated. Use
result.inserted_primary_key
* dialect.get_default_schema_name(connection) is now
public via dialect.default_schema_name.
* the "connection" argument from engine.transaction() and
engine.run_callable() is removed - Connection itself
now has those methods. All four methods accept
*args and **kwargs which are passed to the given callable,
as well as the operating connection.
- schema
- the `__contains__()` method of `MetaData` now accepts
strings or `Table` objects as arguments. If given
a `Table`, the argument is converted to `table.key` first,
i.e. "[schemaname.]<tablename>" [ticket:1541]
- deprecated MetaData.connect() and
ThreadLocalMetaData.connect() have been removed - send
the "bind" attribute to bind a metadata.
- deprecated metadata.table_iterator() method removed (use
sorted_tables)
- deprecated PassiveDefault - use DefaultClause.
- the "metadata" argument is removed from DefaultGenerator
and subclasses, but remains locally present on Sequence,
which is a standalone construct in DDL.
- Removed public mutability from Index and Constraint
objects:
- ForeignKeyConstraint.append_element()
- Index.append_column()
- UniqueConstraint.append_column()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.add()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.remove()
These should be constructed declaratively (i.e. in one
construction).
- The "start" and "increment" attributes on Sequence now
generate "START WITH" and "INCREMENT BY" by default,
on Oracle and Postgresql. Firebird doesn't support
these keywords right now. [ticket:1545]
- UniqueConstraint, Index, PrimaryKeyConstraint all accept
lists of column names or column objects as arguments.
- Other removed things:
- Table.key (no idea what this was for)
- Table.primary_key is not assignable - use
table.append_constraint(PrimaryKeyConstraint(...))
- Column.bind (get via column.table.bind)
- Column.metadata (get via column.table.metadata)
- Column.sequence (use column.default)
- ForeignKey(constraint=some_parent) (is now private _constraint)
- The use_alter flag on ForeignKey is now a shortcut option
for operations that can be hand-constructed using the
DDL() event system. A side effect of this refactor is
that ForeignKeyConstraint objects with use_alter=True
will *not* be emitted on SQLite, which does not support
ALTER for foreign keys.
- ForeignKey and ForeignKeyConstraint objects now correctly
copy() all their public keyword arguments. [ticket:1605]
- Reflection/Inspection
- Table reflection has been expanded and generalized into
a new API called "sqlalchemy.engine.reflection.Inspector".
The Inspector object provides fine-grained information about
a wide variety of schema information, with room for expansion,
including table names, column names, view definitions, sequences,
indexes, etc.
- Views are now reflectable as ordinary Table objects. The same
Table constructor is used, with the caveat that "effective"
primary and foreign key constraints aren't part of the reflection
results; these have to be specified explicitly if desired.
- The existing autoload=True system now uses Inspector underneath
so that each dialect need only return "raw" data about tables
and other objects - Inspector is the single place that information
is compiled into Table objects so that consistency is at a maximum.
- DDL
- the DDL system has been greatly expanded. the DDL() class
now extends the more generic DDLElement(), which forms the basis
of many new constructs:
- CreateTable()
- DropTable()
- AddConstraint()
- DropConstraint()
- CreateIndex()
- DropIndex()
- CreateSequence()
- DropSequence()
These support "on" and "execute-at()" just like plain DDL()
does. User-defined DDLElement subclasses can be created and
linked to a compiler using the sqlalchemy.ext.compiler extension.
- The signature of the "on" callable passed to DDL() and
DDLElement() is revised as follows:
"ddl" - the DDLElement object itself.
"event" - the string event name.
"target" - previously "schema_item", the Table or
MetaData object triggering the event.
"connection" - the Connection object in use for the operation.
**kw - keyword arguments. In the case of MetaData before/after
create/drop, the list of Table objects for which
CREATE/DROP DDL is to be issued is passed as the kw
argument "tables". This is necessary for metadata-level
DDL that is dependent on the presence of specific tables.
- the "schema_item" attribute of DDL has been renamed to
"target".
- dialect refactor
- Dialect modules are now broken into database dialects
plus DBAPI implementations. Connect URLs are now
preferred to be specified using dialect+driver://...,
i.e. "mysql+mysqldb://scott:tiger@localhost/test". See
the 0.6 documentation for examples.
- the setuptools entrypoint for external dialects is now
called "sqlalchemy.dialects".
- the "owner" keyword argument is removed from Table. Use
"schema" to represent any namespaces to be prepended to
the table name.
- server_version_info becomes a static attribute.
- dialects receive an initialize() event on initial
connection to determine connection properties.
- dialects receive a visit_pool event have an opportunity
to establish pool listeners.
- cached TypeEngine classes are cached per-dialect class
instead of per-dialect.
- new UserDefinedType should be used as a base class for
new types, which preserves the 0.5 behavior of
get_col_spec().
- The result_processor() method of all type classes now
accepts a second argument "coltype", which is the DBAPI
type argument from cursor.description. This argument
can help some types decide on the most efficient processing
of result values.
- Deprecated Dialect.get_params() removed.
- Dialect.get_rowcount() has been renamed to a descriptor
"rowcount", and calls cursor.rowcount directly. Dialects
which need to hardwire a rowcount in for certain calls
should override the method to provide different behavior.
- DefaultRunner and subclasses have been removed. The job
of this object has been simplified and moved into
ExecutionContext. Dialects which support sequences should
add a `fire_sequence()` method to their execution context
implementation. [ticket:1566]
- Functions and operators generated by the compiler now use
(almost) regular dispatch functions of the form
"visit_<opname>" and "visit_<funcname>_fn" to provide
customed processing. This replaces the need to copy the
"functions" and "operators" dictionaries in compiler
subclasses with straightforward visitor methods, and also
allows compiler subclasses complete control over
rendering, as the full _Function or _BinaryExpression
object is passed in.
- postgresql
- New dialects: pg8000, zxjdbc, and pypostgresql
on py3k.
- The "postgres" dialect is now named "postgresql" !
Connection strings look like:
postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test
postgresql+pg8000://scott:tiger@localhost/test
The "postgres" name remains for backwards compatiblity
in the following ways:
- There is a "postgres.py" dummy dialect which
allows old URLs to work, i.e.
postgres://scott:tiger@localhost/test
- The "postgres" name can be imported from the old
"databases" module, i.e. "from
sqlalchemy.databases import postgres" as well as
"dialects", "from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgres
import base as pg", will send a deprecation
warning.
- Special expression arguments are now named
"postgresql_returning" and "postgresql_where", but
the older "postgres_returning" and
"postgres_where" names still work with a
deprecation warning.
- "postgresql_where" now accepts SQL expressions which
can also include literals, which will be quoted as needed.
- The psycopg2 dialect now uses psycopg2's "unicode extension"
on all new connections, which allows all String/Text/etc.
types to skip the need to post-process bytestrings into
unicode (an expensive step due to its volume). Other
dialects which return unicode natively (pg8000, zxjdbc)
also skip unicode post-processing.
- Added new ENUM type, which exists as a schema-level
construct and extends the generic Enum type. Automatically
associates itself with tables and their parent metadata
to issue the appropriate CREATE TYPE/DROP TYPE
commands as needed, supports unicode labels, supports
reflection. [ticket:1511]
- INTERVAL supports an optional "precision" argument
corresponding to the argument that PG accepts.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
psycopg2 can't handle a bind parameter name of
%(foobar)s however and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead
just to treat that one non-existent use case.
[ticket:1279]
- Inserting NULL into a primary key + foreign key column
will allow the "not null constraint" error to raise,
not an attempt to execute a nonexistent "col_id_seq"
sequence. [ticket:1516]
- autoincrement SELECT statements, i.e. those which
select from a procedure that modifies rows, now work
with server-side cursor mode (the named cursor isn't
used for such statements.)
- postgresql dialect can properly detect pg "devel" version
strings, i.e. "8.5devel" [ticket:1636]
- The psycopg2 now respects the statement option
"stream_results". This option overrides the connection setting
"server_side_cursors". If true, server side cursors will be
used for the statement. If false, they will not be used, even
if "server_side_cursors" is true on the
connection. [ticket:1619]
- mysql
- New dialects: oursql, a new native dialect,
MySQL Connector/Python, a native Python port of MySQLdb,
and of course zxjdbc on Jython.
- VARCHAR/NVARCHAR will not render without a length, raises
an error before passing to MySQL. Doesn't impact
CAST since VARCHAR is not allowed in MySQL CAST anyway,
the dialect renders CHAR/NCHAR in those cases.
- all the _detect_XXX() functions now run once underneath
dialect.initialize()
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
MySQLdb can't handle % signs in SQL when executemany() is used,
and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead just to treat that one
non-existent use case. [ticket:1279]
- the BINARY and MSBinary types now generate "BINARY" in all
cases. Omitting the "length" parameter will generate
"BINARY" with no length. Use BLOB to generate an unlengthed
binary column.
- the "quoting='quoted'" argument to MSEnum/ENUM is deprecated.
It's best to rely upon the automatic quoting.
- ENUM now subclasses the new generic Enum type, and also handles
unicode values implicitly, if the given labelnames are unicode
objects.
- a column of type TIMESTAMP now defaults to NULL if
"nullable=False" is not passed to Column(), and no default
is present. This is now consistent with all other types,
and in the case of TIMESTAMP explictly renders "NULL"
due to MySQL's "switching" of default nullability
for TIMESTAMP columns. [ticket:1539]
- oracle
- unit tests pass 100% with cx_oracle !
- support for cx_Oracle's "native unicode" mode which does
not require NLS_LANG to be set. Use the latest 5.0.2 or
later of cx_oracle.
- an NCLOB type is added to the base types.
- use_ansi=False won't leak into the FROM/WHERE clause of
a statement that's selecting from a subquery that also
uses JOIN/OUTERJOIN.
- added native INTERVAL type to the dialect. This supports
only the DAY TO SECOND interval type so far due to lack
of support in cx_oracle for YEAR TO MONTH. [ticket:1467]
- usage of the CHAR type results in cx_oracle's
FIXED_CHAR dbapi type being bound to statements.
- the Oracle dialect now features NUMBER which intends
to act justlike Oracle's NUMBER type. It is the primary
numeric type returned by table reflection and attempts
to return Decimal()/float/int based on the precision/scale
parameters. [ticket:885]
- func.char_length is a generic function for LENGTH
- ForeignKey() which includes onupdate=<value> will emit a
warning, not emit ON UPDATE CASCADE which is unsupported
by oracle
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- using types.BigInteger with Oracle will generate
NUMBER(19) [ticket:1125]
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- firebird
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- mssql
- MSSQL + Pyodbc + FreeTDS now works for the most part,
with possible exceptions regarding binary data as well as
unicode schema identifiers.
- the "has_window_funcs" flag is removed. LIMIT/OFFSET
usage will use ROW NUMBER as always, and if on an older
version of SQL Server, the operation fails. The behavior
is exactly the same except the error is raised by SQL
server instead of the dialect, and no flag setting is
required to enable it.
- the "auto_identity_insert" flag is removed. This feature
always takes effect when an INSERT statement overrides a
column that is known to have a sequence on it. As with
"has_window_funcs", if the underlying driver doesn't
support this, then you can't do this operation in any
case, so there's no point in having a flag.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- removed references to sequence which is no longer used.
implicit identities in mssql work the same as implicit
sequences on any other dialects. Explicit sequences are
enabled through the use of "default=Sequence()". See
the MSSQL dialect documentation for more information.
- sqlite
- DATE, TIME and DATETIME types can now take optional storage_format
and regexp argument. storage_format can be used to store those types
using a custom string format. regexp allows to use a custom regular
expression to match string values from the database.
- Time and DateTime types now use by a default a stricter regular
expression to match strings from the database. Use the regexp
argument if you are using data stored in a legacy format.
- __legacy_microseconds__ on SQLite Time and DateTime types is not
supported anymore. You should use the storage_format argument
instead.
- Date, Time and DateTime types are now stricter in what they accept as
bind parameters: Date type only accepts date objects (and datetime
ones, because they inherit from date), Time only accepts time
objects, and DateTime only accepts date and datetime objects.
- Table() supports a keyword argument "sqlite_autoincrement", which
applies the SQLite keyword "AUTOINCREMENT" to the single integer
primary key column when generating DDL. Will prevent generation of
a separate PRIMARY KEY constraint. [ticket:1016]
- new dialects
- postgresql+pg8000
- postgresql+pypostgresql (partial)
- postgresql+zxjdbc
- mysql+pyodbc
- mysql+zxjdbc
- types
- The construction of types within dialects has been totally
overhauled. Dialects now define publically available types
as UPPERCASE names exclusively, and internal implementation
types using underscore identifiers (i.e. are private).
The system by which types are expressed in SQL and DDL
has been moved to the compiler system. This has the
effect that there are much fewer type objects within
most dialects. A detailed document on this architecture
for dialect authors is in
lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/type_migration_guidelines.txt .
- Types no longer make any guesses as to default
parameters. In particular, Numeric, Float, NUMERIC,
FLOAT, DECIMAL don't generate any length or scale unless
specified.
- types.Binary is renamed to types.LargeBinary, it only
produces BLOB, BYTEA, or a similar "long binary" type.
New base BINARY and VARBINARY
types have been added to access these MySQL/MS-SQL specific
types in an agnostic way [ticket:1664].
- String/Text/Unicode types now skip the unicode() check
on each result column value if the dialect has
detected the DBAPI as returning Python unicode objects
natively. This check is issued on first connect
using "SELECT CAST 'some text' AS VARCHAR(10)" or
equivalent, then checking if the returned object
is a Python unicode. This allows vast performance
increases for native-unicode DBAPIs, including
pysqlite/sqlite3, psycopg2, and pg8000.
- Most types result processors have been checked for possible speed
improvements. Specifically, the following generic types have been
optimized, resulting in varying speed improvements:
Unicode, PickleType, Interval, TypeDecorator, Binary.
Also the following dbapi-specific implementations have been improved:
Time, Date and DateTime on Sqlite, ARRAY on Postgresql,
Time on MySQL, Numeric(as_decimal=False) on MySQL, oursql and
pypostgresql, DateTime on cx_oracle and LOB-based types on cx_oracle.
- Reflection of types now returns the exact UPPERCASE
type within types.py, or the UPPERCASE type within
the dialect itself if the type is not a standard SQL
type. This means reflection now returns more accurate
information about reflected types.
- Added a new Enum generic type. Enum is a schema-aware object
to support databases which require specific DDL in order to
use enum or equivalent; in the case of PG it handles the
details of `CREATE TYPE`, and on other databases without
native enum support will by generate VARCHAR + an inline CHECK
constraint to enforce the enum.
[ticket:1109] [ticket:1511]
- The Interval type includes a "native" flag which controls
if native INTERVAL types (postgresql + oracle) are selected
if available, or not. "day_precision" and "second_precision"
arguments are also added which propagate as appropriately
to these native types. Related to [ticket:1467].
- The Boolean type, when used on a backend that doesn't
have native boolean support, will generate a CHECK
constraint "col IN (0, 1)" along with the int/smallint-
based column type. This can be switched off if
desired with create_constraint=False.
Note that MySQL has no native boolean *or* CHECK constraint
support so this feature isn't available on that platform.
[ticket:1589]
- PickleType now uses == for comparison of values when
mutable=True, unless the "comparator" argument with a
comparsion function is specified to the type. Objects
being pickled will be compared based on identity (which
defeats the purpose of mutable=True) if __eq__() is not
overridden or a comparison function is not provided.
- The default "precision" and "scale" arguments of Numeric
and Float have been removed and now default to None.
NUMERIC and FLOAT will be rendered with no numeric
arguments by default unless these values are provided.
- AbstractType.get_search_list() is removed - the games
that was used for are no longer necessary.
- Added a generic BigInteger type, compiles to
BIGINT or NUMBER(19). [ticket:1125]
-ext
- sqlsoup has been overhauled to explicitly support an 0.5 style
session, using autocommit=False, autoflush=True. Default
behavior of SQLSoup now requires the usual usage of commit()
and rollback(), which have been added to its interface. An
explcit Session or scoped_session can be passed to the
constructor, allowing these arguments to be overridden.
- sqlsoup db.<sometable>.update() and delete() now call
query(cls).update() and delete(), respectively.
- sqlsoup now has execute() and connection(), which call upon
the Session methods of those names, ensuring that the bind is
in terms of the SqlSoup object's bind.
- sqlsoup objects no longer have the 'query' attribute - it's
not needed for sqlsoup's usage paradigm and it gets in the
way of a column that is actually named 'query'.
- The signature of the proxy_factory callable passed to
association_proxy is now (lazy_collection, creator,
value_attr, association_proxy), adding a fourth argument
that is the parent AssociationProxy argument. Allows
serializability and subclassing of the built in collections.
[ticket:1259]
- association_proxy now has basic comparator methods .any(),
.has(), .contains(), ==, !=, thanks to Scott Torborg.
[ticket:1372]
- examples
- The "query_cache" examples have been removed, and are replaced
with a fully comprehensive approach that combines the usage of
Beaker with SQLAlchemy. New query options are used to indicate
the caching characteristics of a particular Query, which
can also be invoked deep within an object graph when lazily
loading related objects. See /examples/beaker_caching/README.
0.5.9
=====
- sql
- Fixed erroneous self_group() call in expression package.
[ticket:1661]
0.5.8
=====
- sql
- The copy() method on Column now supports uninitialized,
unnamed Column objects. This allows easy creation of
declarative helpers which place common columns on multiple
subclasses.
- Default generators like Sequence() translate correctly
across a copy() operation.
- Sequence() and other DefaultGenerator objects are accepted
as the value for the "default" and "onupdate" keyword
arguments of Column, in addition to being accepted
positionally.
- Fixed a column arithmetic bug that affected column
correspondence for cloned selectables which contain
free-standing column expressions. This bug is
generally only noticeable when exercising newer
ORM behavior only availble in 0.6 via [ticket:1568],
but is more correct at the SQL expression level
as well. [ticket:1617]
- postgresql
- The extract() function, which was slightly improved in
0.5.7, needed a lot more work to generate the correct
typecast (the typecasts appear to be necessary in PG's
EXTRACT quite a lot of the time). The typecast is
now generated using a rule dictionary based
on PG's documentation for date/time/interval arithmetic.
It also accepts text() constructs again, which was broken
in 0.5.7. [ticket:1647]
- firebird
- Recognize more errors as disconnections. [ticket:1646]
0.5.7
=====
- orm
- contains_eager() now works with the automatically
generated subquery that results when you say
"query(Parent).join(Parent.somejoinedsubclass)", i.e.
when Parent joins to a joined-table-inheritance subclass.
Previously contains_eager() would erroneously add the
subclass table to the query separately producing a
cartesian product. An example is in the ticket
description. [ticket:1543]
- query.options() now only propagate to loaded objects
for potential further sub-loads only for options where
such behavior is relevant, keeping
various unserializable options like those generated
by contains_eager() out of individual instance states.
[ticket:1553]
- Session.execute() now locates table- and
mapper-specific binds based on a passed
in expression which is an insert()/update()/delete()
construct. [ticket:1054]
- Session.merge() now properly overwrites a many-to-one or
uselist=False attribute to None if the attribute
is also None in the given object to be merged.
- Fixed a needless select which would occur when merging
transient objects that contained a null primary key
identifier. [ticket:1618]
- Mutable collection passed to the "extension" attribute
of relation(), column_property() etc. will not be mutated
or shared among multiple instrumentation calls, preventing
duplicate extensions, such as backref populators,
from being inserted into the list.
[ticket:1585]
- Fixed the call to get_committed_value() on CompositeProperty.
[ticket:1504]
- Fixed bug where Query would crash if a join() with no clear
"left" side were called when a non-mapped column entity
appeared in the columns list. [ticket:1602]
- Fixed bug whereby composite columns wouldn't load properly
when configured on a joined-table subclass, introduced in
version 0.5.6 as a result of the fix for [ticket:1480].
[ticket:1616] thx to Scott Torborg.
- The "use get" behavior of many-to-one relations, i.e. that a
lazy load will fallback to the possibly cached query.get()
value, now works across join conditions where the two compared
types are not exactly the same class, but share the same
"affinity" - i.e. Integer and SmallInteger. Also allows
combinations of reflected and non-reflected types to work
with 0.5 style type reflection, such as PGText/Text (note 0.6
reflects types as their generic versions). [ticket:1556]
- Fixed bug in query.update() when passing Cls.attribute
as keys in the value dict and using synchronize_session='expire'
('fetch' in 0.6). [ticket:1436]
- sql
- Fixed bug in two-phase transaction whereby commit() method
didn't set the full state which allows subsequent close()
call to succeed. [ticket:1603]
- Fixed the "numeric" paramstyle, which apparently is the
default paramstyle used by Informixdb.
- Repeat expressions in the columns clause of a select
are deduped based on the identity of each clause element,
not the actual string. This allows positional
elements to render correctly even if they all render
identically, such as "qmark" style bind parameters.
[ticket:1574]
- The cursor associated with connection pool connections
(i.e. _CursorFairy) now proxies `__iter__()` to the
underlying cursor correctly. [ticket:1632]
- types now support an "affinity comparison" operation, i.e.
that an Integer/SmallInteger are "compatible", or
a Text/String, PickleType/Binary, etc. Part of
[ticket:1556].
- Fixed bug preventing alias() of an alias() from being
cloned or adapted (occurs frequently in ORM operations).
[ticket:1641]
- sqlite
- sqlite dialect properly generates CREATE INDEX for a table
that is in an alternate schema. [ticket:1439]
- postgresql
- Added support for reflecting the DOUBLE PRECISION type,
via a new postgres.PGDoublePrecision object.
This is postgresql.DOUBLE_PRECISION in 0.6.
[ticket:1085]
- Added support for reflecting the INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND syntaxes of the INTERVAL
type. [ticket:460]
- Corrected the "has_sequence" query to take current schema,
or explicit sequence-stated schema, into account.
[ticket:1576]
- Fixed the behavior of extract() to apply operator
precedence rules to the "::" operator when applying
the "timestamp" cast - ensures proper parenthesization.
[ticket:1611]
- mssql
- Changed the name of TrustedConnection to
Trusted_Connection when constructing pyodbc connect
arguments [ticket:1561]
- oracle
- The "table_names" dialect function, used by MetaData
.reflect(), omits "index overflow tables", a system
table generated by Oracle when "index only tables"
with overflow are used. These tables aren't accessible
via SQL and can't be reflected. [ticket:1637]
- ext
- A column can be added to a joined-table declarative
superclass after the class has been constructed
(i.e. via class-level attribute assignment), and
the column will be propagated down to
subclasses. [ticket:1570] This is the reverse
situation as that of [ticket:1523], fixed in 0.5.6.
- Fixed a slight inaccuracy in the sharding example.
Comparing equivalence of columns in the ORM is best
accomplished using col1.shares_lineage(col2).
[ticket:1491]
- Removed unused `load()` method from ShardedQuery.
[ticket:1606]

Update SQLalchemy to version 0.6.0.
Changes since 0.5.6:
0.6.0
=====
- orm
- Unit of work internals have been rewritten. Units of work
with large numbers of objects interdependent objects
can now be flushed without recursion overflows
as there is no longer reliance upon recursive calls
[ticket:1081]. The number of internal structures now stays
constant for a particular session state, regardless of
how many relationships are present on mappings. The flow
of events now corresponds to a linear list of steps,
generated by the mappers and relationships based on actual
work to be done, filtered through a single topological sort
for correct ordering. Flush actions are assembled using
far fewer steps and less memory. [ticket:1742]
- Along with the UOW rewrite, this also removes an issue
introduced in 0.6beta3 regarding topological cycle detection
for units of work with long dependency cycles. We now use
an algorithm written by Guido (thanks Guido!).
- one-to-many relationships now maintain a list of positive
parent-child associations within the flush, preventing
previous parents marked as deleted from cascading a
delete or NULL foreign key set on those child objects,
despite the end-user not removing the child from the old
association. [ticket:1764]
- A collection lazy load will switch off default
eagerloading on the reverse many-to-one side, since
that loading is by definition unnecessary. [ticket:1495]
- Session.refresh() now does an equivalent expire()
on the given instance first, so that the "refresh-expire"
cascade is propagated. Previously, refresh() was
not affected in any way by the presence of "refresh-expire"
cascade. This is a change in behavior versus that
of 0.6beta2, where the "lockmode" flag passed to refresh()
would cause a version check to occur. Since the instance
is first expired, refresh() always upgrades the object
to the most recent version.
- The 'refresh-expire' cascade, when reaching a pending object,
will expunge the object if the cascade also includes
"delete-orphan", or will simply detach it otherwise.
[ticket:1754]
- id(obj) is no longer used internally within topological.py,
as the sorting functions now require hashable objects
only. [ticket:1756]
- The ORM will set the docstring of all generated descriptors
to None by default. This can be overridden using 'doc'
(or if using Sphinx, attribute docstrings work too).
- Added kw argument 'doc' to all mapper property callables
as well as Column(). Will assemble the string 'doc' as
the '__doc__' attribute on the descriptor.
- Usage of version_id_col on a backend that supports
cursor.rowcount for execute() but not executemany() now works
when a delete is issued (already worked for saves, since those
don't use executemany()). For a backend that doesn't support
cursor.rowcount at all, a warning is emitted the same
as with saves. [ticket:1761]
- The ORM now short-term caches the "compiled" form of
insert() and update() constructs when flushing lists of
objects of all the same class, thereby avoiding redundant
compilation per individual INSERT/UPDATE within an
individual flush() call.
- internal getattr(), setattr(), getcommitted() methods
on ColumnProperty, CompositeProperty, RelationshipProperty
have been underscored (i.e. are private), signature has
changed.
- engines
- The C extension now also works with DBAPIs which use custom
sequences as row (and not only tuples). [ticket:1757]
- sql
- Restored some bind-labeling logic from 0.5 which ensures
that tables with column names that overlap another column
of the form "<tablename>_<columnname>" won't produce
errors if column._label is used as a bind name during
an UPDATE. Test coverage which wasn't present in 0.5
has been added. [ticket:1755]
- somejoin.select(fold_equivalents=True) is no longer
deprecated, and will eventually be rolled into a more
comprehensive version of the feature for [ticket:1729].
- the Numeric type raises an *enormous* warning when expected
to convert floats to Decimal from a DBAPI that returns floats.
This includes SQLite, Sybase, MS-SQL. [ticket:1759]
- Fixed an error in expression typing which caused an endless
loop for expressions with two NULL types.
- Fixed bug in execution_options() feature whereby the existing
Transaction and other state information from the parent
connection would not be propagated to the sub-connection.
- Added new 'compiled_cache' execution option. A dictionary
where Compiled objects will be cached when the Connection
compiles a clause expression into a dialect- and parameter-
specific Compiled object. It is the user's responsibility to
manage the size of this dictionary, which will have keys
corresponding to the dialect, clause element, the column
names within the VALUES or SET clause of an INSERT or UPDATE,
as well as the "batch" mode for an INSERT or UPDATE statement.
- Added get_pk_constraint() to reflection.Inspector, similar
to get_primary_keys() except returns a dict that includes the
name of the constraint, for supported backends (PG so far).
[ticket:1769]
- Table.create() and Table.drop() no longer apply metadata-
level create/drop events. [ticket:1771]
- ext
- the compiler extension now allows @compiles decorators
on base classes that extend to child classes, @compiles
decorators on child classes that aren't broken by a
@compiles decorator on the base class.
- Declarative will raise an informative error message
if a non-mapped class attribute is referenced in the
string-based relationship() arguments.
- Further reworked the "mixin" logic in declarative to
additionally allow __mapper_args__ as a @classproperty
on a mixin, such as to dynamically assign polymorphic_identity.
- postgresql
- Postgresql now reflects sequence names associated with
SERIAL columns correctly, after the name of of the sequence
has been changed. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the patch.
[ticket:1071]
- Repaired missing import in psycopg2._PGNumeric type when
unknown numeric is received.
- psycopg2/pg8000 dialects now aware of REAL[], FLOAT[],
DOUBLE_PRECISION[], NUMERIC[] return types without
raising an exception.
- Postgresql reflects the name of primary key constraints,
if one exists. [ticket:1769]
- oracle
- Now using cx_oracle output converters so that the
DBAPI returns natively the kinds of values we prefer:
- NUMBER values with positive precision + scale convert
to cx_oracle.STRING and then to Decimal. This
allows perfect precision for the Numeric type when
using cx_oracle. [ticket:1759]
- STRING/FIXED_CHAR now convert to unicode natively.
SQLAlchemy's String types then don't need to
apply any kind of conversions.
- firebird
- The functionality of result.rowcount can be disabled on a
per-engine basis by setting 'enable_rowcount=False'
on create_engine(). Normally, cursor.rowcount is called
after any UPDATE or DELETE statement unconditionally,
because the cursor is then closed and Firebird requires
an open cursor in order to get a rowcount. This
call is slightly expensive however so it can be disabled.
To re-enable on a per-execution basis, the
'enable_rowcount=True' execution option may be used.
- examples
- Updated attribute_shard.py example to use a more robust
method of searching a Query for binary expressions which
compare columns against literal values.
0.6beta3
========
- orm
- Major feature: Added new "subquery" loading capability to
relationship(). This is an eager loading option which
generates a second SELECT for each collection represented
in a query, across all parents at once. The query
re-issues the original end-user query wrapped in a subquery,
applies joins out to the target collection, and loads
all those collections fully in one result, similar to
"joined" eager loading but using all inner joins and not
re-fetching full parent rows repeatedly (as most DBAPIs seem
to do, even if columns are skipped). Subquery loading is
available at mapper config level using "lazy='subquery'" and
at the query options level using "subqueryload(props..)",
"subqueryload_all(props...)". [ticket:1675]
- To accomodate the fact that there are now two kinds of eager
loading available, the new names for eagerload() and
eagerload_all() are joinedload() and joinedload_all(). The
old names will remain as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- The "lazy" flag on the relationship() function now accepts
a string argument for all kinds of loading: "select", "joined",
"subquery", "noload" and "dynamic", where the default is now
"select". The old values of True/
False/None still retain their usual meanings and will remain
as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- Added with_hint() method to Query() construct. This calls
directly down to select().with_hint() and also accepts
entities as well as tables and aliases. See with_hint() in the
SQL section below. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug in Query whereby calling q.join(prop).from_self(...).
join(prop) would fail to render the second join outside the
subquery, when joining on the same criterion as was on the
inside.
- Fixed bug in Query whereby the usage of aliased() constructs
would fail if the underlying table (but not the actual alias)
were referenced inside the subquery generated by
q.from_self() or q.select_from().
- Fixed bug which affected all eagerload() and similar options
such that "remote" eager loads, i.e. eagerloads off of a lazy
load such as query(A).options(eagerload(A.b, B.c))
wouldn't eagerload anything, but using eagerload("b.c") would
work fine.
- Query gains an add_columns(*columns) method which is a multi-
version of add_column(col). add_column(col) is future
deprecated.
- Query.join() will detect if the end result will be
"FROM A JOIN A", and will raise an error if so.
- Query.join(Cls.propname, from_joinpoint=True) will check more
carefully that "Cls" is compatible with the current joinpoint,
and act the same way as Query.join("propname", from_joinpoint=True)
in that regard.
- sql
- Added with_hint() method to select() construct. Specify
a table/alias, hint text, and optional dialect name, and
"hints" will be rendered in the appropriate place in the
statement. Works for Oracle, Sybase, MySQL. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug introduced in 0.6beta2 where column labels would
render inside of column expressions already assigned a label.
[ticket:1747]
- postgresql
- The psycopg2 dialect will log NOTICE messages via the
"sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql" logger name.
[ticket:877]
- the TIME and TIMESTAMP types are now availble from the
postgresql dialect directly, which add the PG-specific
argument 'precision' to both. 'precision' and
'timezone' are correctly reflected for both TIME and
TIMEZONE types. [ticket:997]
- mysql
- No longer guessing that TINYINT(1) should be BOOLEAN
when reflecting - TINYINT(1) is returned. Use Boolean/
BOOLEAN in table definition to get boolean conversion
behavior. [ticket:1752]
- oracle
- The Oracle dialect will issue VARCHAR type definitions
using character counts, i.e. VARCHAR2(50 CHAR), so that
the column is sized in terms of characters and not bytes.
Column reflection of character types will also use
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.CHAR_LENGTH instead of
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.DATA_LENGTH. Both of these behaviors take
effect when the server version is 9 or higher - for
version 8, the old behaviors are used. [ticket:1744]
- declarative
- Using a mixin won't break if the mixin implements an
unpredictable __getattribute__(), i.e. Zope interfaces.
[ticket:1746]
- Using @classdecorator and similar on mixins to define
__tablename__, __table_args__, etc. now works if
the method references attributes on the ultimate
subclass. [ticket:1749]
- relationships and columns with foreign keys aren't
allowed on declarative mixins, sorry. [ticket:1751]
- ext
- The sqlalchemy.orm.shard module now becomes an extension,
sqlalchemy.ext.horizontal_shard. The old import
works with a deprecation warning.
0.6beta2
========
- py3k
- Improved the installation/test setup regarding Python 3,
now that Distribute runs on Py3k. distribute_setup.py
is now included. See README.py3k for Python 3 installation/
testing instructions.
- orm
- The official name for the relation() function is now
relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational
algebra term. relation() however will remain available
in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
- Added "version_id_generator" argument to Mapper, this is a
callable that, given the current value of the "version_id_col",
returns the next version number. Can be used for alternate
versioning schemes such as uuid, timestamps. [ticket:1692]
- added "lockmode" kw argument to Session.refresh(), will
pass through the string value to Query the same as
in with_lockmode(), will also do version check for a
version_id_col-enabled mapping.
- Fixed bug whereby calling query(A).join(A.bs).add_entity(B)
in a joined inheritance scenario would double-add B as a
target and produce an invalid query. [ticket:1188]
- Fixed bug in session.rollback() which involved not removing
formerly "pending" objects from the session before
re-integrating "deleted" objects, typically occured with
natural primary keys. If there was a primary key conflict
between them, the attach of the deleted would fail
internally. The formerly "pending" objects are now expunged
first. [ticket:1674]
- Removed a lot of logging that nobody really cares about,
logging that remains will respond to live changes in the
log level. No significant overhead is added. [ticket:1719]
- Fixed bug in session.merge() which prevented dict-like
collections from merging.
- session.merge() works with relations that specifically
don't include "merge" in their cascade options - the target
is ignored completely.
- session.merge() will not expire existing scalar attributes
on an existing target if the target has a value for that
attribute, even if the incoming merged doesn't have
a value for the attribute. This prevents unnecessary loads
on existing items. Will still mark the attr as expired
if the destination doesn't have the attr, though, which
fulfills some contracts of deferred cols. [ticket:1681]
- The "allow_null_pks" flag is now called "allow_partial_pks",
defaults to True, acts like it did in 0.5 again. Except,
it also is implemented within merge() such that a SELECT
won't be issued for an incoming instance with partially
NULL primary key if the flag is False. [ticket:1680]
- Fixed bug in 0.6-reworked "many-to-one" optimizations
such that a many-to-one that is against a non-primary key
column on the remote table (i.e. foreign key against a
UNIQUE column) will pull the "old" value in from the
database during a change, since if it's in the session
we will need it for proper history/backref accounting,
and we can't pull from the local identity map on a
non-primary key column. [ticket:1737]
- fixed internal error which would occur if calling has()
or similar complex expression on a single-table inheritance
relation(). [ticket:1731]
- query.one() no longer applies LIMIT to the query, this to
ensure that it fully counts all object identities present
in the result, even in the case where joins may conceal
multiple identities for two or more rows. As a bonus,
one() can now also be called with a query that issued
from_statement() to start with since it no longer modifies
the query. [ticket:1688]
- query.get() now returns None if queried for an identifier
that is present in the identity map with a different class
than the one requested, i.e. when using polymorphic loading.
[ticket:1727]
- A major fix in query.join(), when the "on" clause is an
attribute of an aliased() construct, but there is already
an existing join made out to a compatible target, query properly
joins to the right aliased() construct instead of sticking
onto the right side of the existing join. [ticket:1706]
- Slight improvement to the fix for [ticket:1362] to not issue
needless updates of the primary key column during a so-called
"row switch" operation, i.e. add + delete of two objects
with the same PK.
- Now uses sqlalchemy.orm.exc.DetachedInstanceError when an
attribute load or refresh action fails due to object
being detached from any Session. UnboundExecutionError
is specific to engines bound to sessions and statements.
- Query called in the context of an expression will render
disambiguating labels in all cases. Note that this does
not apply to the existing .statement and .subquery()
accessor/method, which still honors the .with_labels()
setting that defaults to False.
- Query.union() retains disambiguating labels within the
returned statement, thus avoiding various SQL composition
errors which can result from column name conflicts.
[ticket:1676]
- Fixed bug in attribute history that inadvertently invoked
__eq__ on mapped instances.
- Some internal streamlining of object loading grants a
small speedup for large results, estimates are around
10-15%. Gave the "state" internals a good solid
cleanup with less complexity, datamembers,
method calls, blank dictionary creates.
- Documentation clarification for query.delete()
[ticket:1689]
- Fixed cascade bug in many-to-one relation() when attribute
was set to None, introduced in r6711 (cascade deleted
items into session during add()).
- Calling query.order_by() or query.distinct() before calling
query.select_from(), query.with_polymorphic(), or
query.from_statement() raises an exception now instead of
silently dropping those criterion. [ticket:1736]
- query.scalar() now raises an exception if more than one
row is returned. All other behavior remains the same.
[ticket:1735]
- Fixed bug which caused "row switch" logic, that is an
INSERT and DELETE replaced by an UPDATE, to fail when
version_id_col was in use. [ticket:1692]
- sql
- join() will now simulate a NATURAL JOIN by default. Meaning,
if the left side is a join, it will attempt to join the right
side to the rightmost side of the left first, and not raise
any exceptions about ambiguous join conditions if successful
even if there are further join targets across the rest of
the left. [ticket:1714]
- The most common result processors conversion function were
moved to the new "processors" module. Dialect authors are
encouraged to use those functions whenever they correspond
to their needs instead of implementing custom ones.
- SchemaType and subclasses Boolean, Enum are now serializable,
including their ddl listener and other event callables.
[ticket:1694] [ticket:1698]
- Some platforms will now interpret certain literal values
as non-bind parameters, rendered literally into the SQL
statement. This to support strict SQL-92 rules that are
enforced by some platforms including MS-SQL and Sybase.
In this model, bind parameters aren't allowed in the
columns clause of a SELECT, nor are certain ambiguous
expressions like "?=?". When this mode is enabled, the base
compiler will render the binds as inline literals, but only across
strings and numeric values. Other types such as dates
will raise an error, unless the dialect subclass defines
a literal rendering function for those. The bind parameter
must have an embedded literal value already or an error
is raised (i.e. won't work with straight bindparam('x')).
Dialects can also expand upon the areas where binds are not
accepted, such as within argument lists of functions
(which don't work on MS-SQL when native SQL binding is used).
- Added "unicode_errors" parameter to String, Unicode, etc.
Behaves like the 'errors' keyword argument to
the standard library's string.decode() functions. This flag
requires that `convert_unicode` is set to `"force"` - otherwise,
SQLAlchemy is not guaranteed to handle the task of unicode
conversion. Note that this flag adds significant performance
overhead to row-fetching operations for backends that already
return unicode objects natively (which most DBAPIs do). This
flag should only be used as an absolute last resort for reading
strings from a column with varied or corrupted encodings,
which only applies to databases that accept invalid encodings
in the first place (i.e. MySQL. *not* PG, Sqlite, etc.)
- Added math negation operator support, -x.
- FunctionElement subclasses are now directly executable the
same way any func.foo() construct is, with automatic
SELECT being applied when passed to execute().
- The "type" and "bind" keyword arguments of a func.foo()
construct are now local to "func." constructs and are
not part of the FunctionElement base class, allowing
a "type" to be handled in a custom constructor or
class-level variable.
- Restored the keys() method to ResultProxy.
- The type/expression system now does a more complete job
of determining the return type from an expression
as well as the adaptation of the Python operator into
a SQL operator, based on the full left/right/operator
of the given expression. In particular
the date/time/interval system created for Postgresql
EXTRACT in [ticket:1647] has now been generalized into
the type system. The previous behavior which often
occured of an expression "column + literal" forcing
the type of "literal" to be the same as that of "column"
will now usually not occur - the type of
"literal" is first derived from the Python type of the
literal, assuming standard native Python types + date
types, before falling back to that of the known type
on the other side of the expression. If the
"fallback" type is compatible (i.e. CHAR from String),
the literal side will use that. TypeDecorator
types override this by default to coerce the "literal"
side unconditionally, which can be changed by implementing
the coerce_compared_value() method. Also part of
[ticket:1683].
- Made sqlalchemy.sql.expressions.Executable part of public
API, used for any expression construct that can be sent to
execute(). FunctionElement now inherits Executable so that
it gains execution_options(), which are also propagated
to the select() that's generated within execute().
Executable in turn subclasses _Generative which marks
any ClauseElement that supports the @_generative
decorator - these may also become "public" for the benefit
of the compiler extension at some point.
- A change to the solution for [ticket:1579] - an end-user
defined bind parameter name that directly conflicts with
a column-named bind generated directly from the SET or
VALUES clause of an update/insert generates a compile error.
This reduces call counts and eliminates some cases where
undesirable name conflicts could still occur.
- Column() requires a type if it has no foreign keys (this is
not new). An error is now raised if a Column() has no type
and no foreign keys. [ticket:1705]
- the "scale" argument of the Numeric() type is honored when
coercing a returned floating point value into a string
on its way to Decimal - this allows accuracy to function
on SQLite, MySQL. [ticket:1717]
- the copy() method of Column now copies over uninitialized
"on table attach" events. Helps with the new declarative
"mixin" capability.
- engines
- Added an optional C extension to speed up the sql layer by
reimplementing RowProxy and the most common result processors.
The actual speedups will depend heavily on your DBAPI and
the mix of datatypes used in your tables, and can vary from
a 30% improvement to more than 200%. It also provides a modest
(~15-20%) indirect improvement to ORM speed for large queries.
Note that it is *not* built/installed by default.
See README for installation instructions.
- the execution sequence pulls all rowcount/last inserted ID
info from the cursor before commit() is called on the
DBAPI connection in an "autocommit" scenario. This helps
mxodbc with rowcount and is probably a good idea overall.
- Opened up logging a bit such that isEnabledFor() is called
more often, so that changes to the log level for engine/pool
will be reflected on next connect. This adds a small
amount of method call overhead. It's negligible and will make
life a lot easier for all those situations when logging
just happens to be configured after create_engine() is called.
[ticket:1719]
- The assert_unicode flag is deprecated. SQLAlchemy will raise
a warning in all cases where it is asked to encode a non-unicode
Python string, as well as when a Unicode or UnicodeType type
is explicitly passed a bytestring. The String type will do nothing
for DBAPIs that already accept Python unicode objects.
- Bind parameters are sent as a tuple instead of a list. Some
backend drivers will not accept bind parameters as a list.
- threadlocal engine wasn't properly closing the connection
upon close() - fixed that.
- Transaction object doesn't rollback or commit if it isn't
"active", allows more accurate nesting of begin/rollback/commit.
- Python unicode objects as binds result in the Unicode type,
not string, thus eliminating a certain class of unicode errors
on drivers that don't support unicode binds.
- Added "logging_name" argument to create_engine(), Pool() constructor
as well as "pool_logging_name" argument to create_engine() which
filters down to that of Pool. Issues the given string name
within the "name" field of logging messages instead of the default
hex identifier string. [ticket:1555]
- The visit_pool() method of Dialect is removed, and replaced with
on_connect(). This method returns a callable which receives
the raw DBAPI connection after each one is created. The callable
is assembled into a first_connect/connect pool listener by the
connection strategy if non-None. Provides a simpler interface
for dialects.
- StaticPool now initializes, disposes and recreates without
opening a new connection - the connection is only opened when
first requested. dispose() also works on AssertionPool now.
[ticket:1728]
- metadata
- Added the ability to strip schema information when using
"tometadata" by passing "schema=None" as an argument. If schema
is not specified then the table's schema is retained.
[ticket: 1673]
- declarative
- DeclarativeMeta exclusively uses cls.__dict__ (not dict_)
as the source of class information; _as_declarative exclusively
uses the dict_ passed to it as the source of class information
(which when using DeclarativeMeta is cls.__dict__). This should
in theory make it easier for custom metaclasses to modify
the state passed into _as_declarative.
- declarative now accepts mixin classes directly, as a means
to provide common functional and column-based elements on
all subclasses, as well as a means to propagate a fixed
set of __table_args__ or __mapper_args__ to subclasses.
For custom combinations of __table_args__/__mapper_args__ from
an inherited mixin to local, descriptors can now be used.
New details are all up in the Declarative documentation.
Thanks to Chris Withers for putting up with my strife
on this. [ticket:1707]
- the __mapper_args__ dict is copied when propagating to a subclass,
and is taken straight off the class __dict__ to avoid any
propagation from the parent. mapper inheritance already
propagates the things you want from the parent mapper.
[ticket:1393]
- An exception is raised when a single-table subclass specifies
a column that is already present on the base class.
[ticket:1732]
- mysql
- Fixed reflection bug whereby when COLLATE was present,
nullable flag and server defaults would not be reflected.
[ticket:1655]
- Fixed reflection of TINYINT(1) "boolean" columns defined with
integer flags like UNSIGNED.
- Further fixes for the mysql-connector dialect. [ticket:1668]
- Composite PK table on InnoDB where the "autoincrement" column
isn't first will emit an explicit "KEY" phrase within
CREATE TABLE thereby avoiding errors, [ticket:1496]
- Added reflection/create table support for a wide range
of MySQL keywords. [ticket:1634]
- Fixed import error which could occur reflecting tables on
a Windows host [ticket:1580]
- mssql
- Re-established support for the pymssql dialect.
- Various fixes for implicit returning, reflection,
etc. - the MS-SQL dialects aren't quite complete
in 0.6 yet (but are close)
- Added basic support for mxODBC [ticket:1710].
- Removed the text_as_varchar option.
- oracle
- "out" parameters require a type that is supported by
cx_oracle. An error will be raised if no cx_oracle
type can be found.
- Oracle 'DATE' now does not perform any result processing,
as the DATE type in Oracle stores full date+time objects,
that's what you'll get. Note that the generic types.Date
type *will* still call value.date() on incoming values,
however. When reflecting a table, the reflected type
will be 'DATE'.
- Added preliminary support for Oracle's WITH_UNICODE
mode. At the very least this establishes initial
support for cx_Oracle with Python 3. When WITH_UNICODE
mode is used in Python 2.xx, a large and scary warning
is emitted asking that the user seriously consider
the usage of this difficult mode of operation.
[ticket:1670]
- The except_() method now renders as MINUS on Oracle,
which is more or less equivalent on that platform.
[ticket:1712]
- Added support for rendering and reflecting
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, i.e. TIMESTAMP(timezone=True).
[ticket:651]
- Oracle INTERVAL type can now be reflected.
- sqlite
- Added "native_datetime=True" flag to create_engine().
This will cause the DATE and TIMESTAMP types to skip
all bind parameter and result row processing, under
the assumption that PARSE_DECLTYPES has been enabled
on the connection. Note that this is not entirely
compatible with the "func.current_date()", which
will be returned as a string. [ticket:1685]
- sybase
- Implemented a preliminary working dialect for Sybase,
with sub-implementations for Python-Sybase as well
as Pyodbc. Handles table
creates/drops and basic round trip functionality.
Does not yet include reflection or comprehensive
support of unicode/special expressions/etc.
- examples
- Changed the beaker cache example a bit to have a separate
RelationCache option for lazyload caching. This object
does a lookup among any number of potential attributes
more efficiently by grouping several into a common structure.
Both FromCache and RelationCache are simpler individually.
- documentation
- Major cleanup work in the docs to link class, function, and
method names into the API docs. [ticket:1700/1702/1703]
0.6beta1
========
- Major Release
- For the full set of feature descriptions, see
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/06Migration .
This document is a work in progress.
- All bug fixes and feature enhancements from the most
recent 0.5 version and below are also included within 0.6.
- Platforms targeted now include Python 2.4/2.5/2.6, Python
3.1, Jython2.5.
- orm
- Changes to query.update() and query.delete():
- the 'expire' option on query.update() has been renamed to
'fetch', thus matching that of query.delete().
'expire' is deprecated and issues a warning.
- query.update() and query.delete() both default to
'evaluate' for the synchronize strategy.
- the 'synchronize' strategy for update() and delete()
raises an error on failure. There is no implicit fallback
onto "fetch". Failure of evaluation is based on the
structure of criteria, so success/failure is deterministic
based on code structure.
- Enhancements on many-to-one relations:
- many-to-one relations now fire off a lazyload in fewer
cases, including in most cases will not fetch the "old"
value when a new one is replaced.
- many-to-one relation to a joined-table subclass now uses
get() for a simple load (known as the "use_get"
condition), i.e. Related->Sub(Base), without the need to
redefine the primaryjoin condition in terms of the base
table. [ticket:1186]
- specifying a foreign key with a declarative column, i.e.
ForeignKey(MyRelatedClass.id) doesn't break the "use_get"
condition from taking place [ticket:1492]
- relation(), eagerload(), and eagerload_all() now feature
an option called "innerjoin". Specify `True` or `False` to
control whether an eager join is constructed as an INNER
or OUTER join. Default is `False` as always. The mapper
options will override whichever setting is specified on
relation(). Should generally be set for many-to-one, not
nullable foreign key relations to allow improved join
performance. [ticket:1544]
- the behavior of eagerloading such that the main query is
wrapped in a subquery when LIMIT/OFFSET are present now
makes an exception for the case when all eager loads are
many-to-one joins. In those cases, the eager joins are
against the parent table directly along with the
limit/offset without the extra overhead of a subquery,
since a many-to-one join does not add rows to the result.
- Enhancements / Changes on Session.merge():
- the "dont_load=True" flag on Session.merge() is deprecated
and is now "load=False".
- Session.merge() is performance optimized, using half the
call counts for "load=False" mode compared to 0.5 and
significantly fewer SQL queries in the case of collections
for "load=True" mode.
- merge() will not issue a needless merge of attributes if the
given instance is the same instance which is already present.
- merge() now also merges the "options" associated with a given
state, i.e. those passed through query.options() which follow
along with an instance, such as options to eagerly- or
lazyily- load various attributes. This is essential for
the construction of highly integrated caching schemes. This
is a subtle behavioral change vs. 0.5.
- A bug was fixed regarding the serialization of the "loader
path" present on an instance's state, which is also necessary
when combining the usage of merge() with serialized state
and associated options that should be preserved.
- The all new merge() is showcased in a new comprehensive
example of how to integrate Beaker with SQLAlchemy. See
the notes in the "examples" note below.
- Primary key values can now be changed on a joined-table inheritance
object, and ON UPDATE CASCADE will be taken into account when
the flush happens. Set the new "passive_updates" flag to False
on mapper() when using SQLite or MySQL/MyISAM. [ticket:1362]
- flush() now detects when a primary key column was updated by
an ON UPDATE CASCADE operation from another primary key, and
can then locate the row for a subsequent UPDATE on the new PK
value. This occurs when a relation() is there to establish
the relationship as well as passive_updates=True. [ticket:1671]
- the "save-update" cascade will now cascade the pending *removed*
values from a scalar or collection attribute into the new session
during an add() operation. This so that the flush() operation
will also delete or modify rows of those disconnected items.
- Using a "dynamic" loader with a "secondary" table now produces
a query where the "secondary" table is *not* aliased. This
allows the secondary Table object to be used in the "order_by"
attribute of the relation(), and also allows it to be used
in filter criterion against the dynamic relation.
[ticket:1531]
- relation() with uselist=False will emit a warning when
an eager or lazy load locates more than one valid value for
the row. This may be due to primaryjoin/secondaryjoin
conditions which aren't appropriate for an eager LEFT OUTER
JOIN or for other conditions. [ticket:1643]
- an explicit check occurs when a synonym() is used with
map_column=True, when a ColumnProperty (deferred or otherwise)
exists separately in the properties dictionary sent to mapper
with the same keyname. Instead of silently replacing
the existing property (and possible options on that property),
an error is raised. [ticket:1633]
- a "dynamic" loader sets up its query criterion at construction
time so that the actual query is returned from non-cloning
accessors like "statement".
- the "named tuple" objects returned when iterating a
Query() are now pickleable.
- mapping to a select() construct now requires that you
make an alias() out of it distinctly. This to eliminate
confusion over such issues as [ticket:1542]
- query.join() has been reworked to provide more consistent
behavior and more flexibility (includes [ticket:1537])
- query.select_from() accepts multiple clauses to produce
multiple comma separated entries within the FROM clause.
Useful when selecting from multiple-homed join() clauses.
- query.select_from() also accepts mapped classes, aliased()
constructs, and mappers as arguments. In particular this
helps when querying from multiple joined-table classes to ensure
the full join gets rendered.
- query.get() can be used with a mapping to an outer join
where one or more of the primary key values are None.
[ticket:1135]
- query.from_self(), query.union(), others which do a
"SELECT * from (SELECT...)" type of nesting will do
a better job translating column expressions within the subquery
to the columns clause of the outer query. This is
potentially backwards incompatible with 0.5, in that this
may break queries with literal expressions that do not have labels
applied (i.e. literal('foo'), etc.)
[ticket:1568]
- relation primaryjoin and secondaryjoin now check that they
are column-expressions, not just clause elements. this prohibits
things like FROM expressions being placed there directly.
[ticket:1622]
- `expression.null()` is fully understood the same way
None is when comparing an object/collection-referencing
attribute within query.filter(), filter_by(), etc.
[ticket:1415]
- added "make_transient()" helper function which transforms a
persistent/ detached instance into a transient one (i.e.
deletes the instance_key and removes from any session.)
[ticket:1052]
- the allow_null_pks flag on mapper() is deprecated, and
the feature is turned "on" by default. This means that
a row which has a non-null value for any of its primary key
columns will be considered an identity. The need for this
scenario typically only occurs when mapping to an outer join.
[ticket:1339]
- the mechanics of "backref" have been fully merged into the
finer grained "back_populates" system, and take place entirely
within the _generate_backref() method of RelationProperty. This
makes the initialization procedure of RelationProperty
simpler and allows easier propagation of settings (such as from
subclasses of RelationProperty) into the reverse reference.
The internal BackRef() is gone and backref() returns a plain
tuple that is understood by RelationProperty.
- The version_id_col feature on mapper() will raise a warning when
used with dialects that don't support "rowcount" adequately.
[ticket:1569]
- added "execution_options()" to Query, to so options can be
passed to the resulting statement. Currently only
Select-statements have these options, and the only option
used is "stream_results", and the only dialect which knows
"stream_results" is psycopg2.
- Query.yield_per() will set the "stream_results" statement
option automatically.
- Deprecated or removed:
* 'allow_null_pks' flag on mapper() is deprecated. It does
nothing now and the setting is "on" in all cases.
* 'transactional' flag on sessionmaker() and others is
removed. Use 'autocommit=True' to indicate 'transactional=False'.
* 'polymorphic_fetch' argument on mapper() is removed.
Loading can be controlled using the 'with_polymorphic'
option.
* 'select_table' argument on mapper() is removed. Use
'with_polymorphic=("*", <some selectable>)' for this
functionality.
* 'proxy' argument on synonym() is removed. This flag
did nothing throughout 0.5, as the "proxy generation"
behavior is now automatic.
* Passing a single list of elements to eagerload(),
eagerload_all(), contains_eager(), lazyload(),
defer(), and undefer() instead of multiple positional
*args is deprecated.
* Passing a single list of elements to query.order_by(),
query.group_by(), query.join(), or query.outerjoin()
instead of multiple positional *args is deprecated.
* query.iterate_instances() is removed. Use query.instances().
* Query.query_from_parent() is removed. Use the
sqlalchemy.orm.with_parent() function to produce a
"parent" clause, or alternatively query.with_parent().
* query._from_self() is removed, use query.from_self()
instead.
* the "comparator" argument to composite() is removed.
Use "comparator_factory".
* RelationProperty._get_join() is removed.
* the 'echo_uow' flag on Session is removed. Use
logging on the "sqlalchemy.orm.unitofwork" name.
* session.clear() is removed. use session.expunge_all().
* session.save(), session.update(), session.save_or_update()
are removed. Use session.add() and session.add_all().
* the "objects" flag on session.flush() remains deprecated.
* the "dont_load=True" flag on session.merge() is deprecated
in favor of "load=False".
* ScopedSession.mapper remains deprecated. See the
usage recipe at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/SessionAwareMapper
* passing an InstanceState (internal SQLAlchemy state object) to
attributes.init_collection() or attributes.get_history() is
deprecated. These functions are public API and normally
expect a regular mapped object instance.
* the 'engine' parameter to declarative_base() is removed.
Use the 'bind' keyword argument.
- sql
- the "autocommit" flag on select() and text() as well
as select().autocommit() are deprecated - now call
.execution_options(autocommit=True) on either of those
constructs, also available directly on Connection and orm.Query.
- the autoincrement flag on column now indicates the column
which should be linked to cursor.lastrowid, if that method
is used. See the API docs for details.
- an executemany() now requires that all bound parameter
sets require that all keys are present which are
present in the first bound parameter set. The structure
and behavior of an insert/update statement is very much
determined by the first parameter set, including which
defaults are going to fire off, and a minimum of
guesswork is performed with all the rest so that performance
is not impacted. For this reason defaults would otherwise
silently "fail" for missing parameters, so this is now guarded
against. [ticket:1566]
- returning() support is native to insert(), update(),
delete(). Implementations of varying levels of
functionality exist for Postgresql, Firebird, MSSQL and
Oracle. returning() can be called explicitly with column
expressions which are then returned in the resultset,
usually via fetchone() or first().
insert() constructs will also use RETURNING implicitly to
get newly generated primary key values, if the database
version in use supports it (a version number check is
performed). This occurs if no end-user returning() was
specified.
- union(), intersect(), except() and other "compound" types
of statements have more consistent behavior w.r.t.
parenthesizing. Each compound element embedded within
another will now be grouped with parenthesis - previously,
the first compound element in the list would not be grouped,
as SQLite doesn't like a statement to start with
parenthesis. However, Postgresql in particular has
precedence rules regarding INTERSECT, and it is
more consistent for parenthesis to be applied equally
to all sub-elements. So now, the workaround for SQLite
is also what the workaround for PG was previously -
when nesting compound elements, the first one usually needs
".alias().select()" called on it to wrap it inside
of a subquery. [ticket:1665]
- insert() and update() constructs can now embed bindparam()
objects using names that match the keys of columns. These
bind parameters will circumvent the usual route to those
keys showing up in the VALUES or SET clause of the generated
SQL. [ticket:1579]
- the Binary type now returns data as a Python string
(or a "bytes" type in Python 3), instead of the built-
in "buffer" type. This allows symmetric round trips
of binary data. [ticket:1524]
- Added a tuple_() construct, allows sets of expressions
to be compared to another set, typically with IN against
composite primary keys or similar. Also accepts an
IN with multiple columns. The "scalar select can
have only one column" error message is removed - will
rely upon the database to report problems with
col mismatch.
- User-defined "default" and "onupdate" callables which
accept a context should now call upon
"context.current_parameters" to get at the dictionary
of bind parameters currently being processed. This
dict is available in the same way regardless of
single-execute or executemany-style statement execution.
- multi-part schema names, i.e. with dots such as
"dbo.master", are now rendered in select() labels
with underscores for dots, i.e. "dbo_master_table_column".
This is a "friendly" label that behaves better
in result sets. [ticket:1428]
- removed needless "counter" behavior with select()
labelnames that match a column name in the table,
i.e. generates "tablename_id" for "id", instead of
"tablename_id_1" in an attempt to avoid naming
conflicts, when the table has a column actually
named "tablename_id" - this is because
the labeling logic is always applied to all columns
so a naming conflict will never occur.
- calling expr.in_([]), i.e. with an empty list, emits a warning
before issuing the usual "expr != expr" clause. The
"expr != expr" can be very expensive, and it's preferred
that the user not issue in_() if the list is empty,
instead simply not querying, or modifying the criterion
as appropriate for more complex situations.
[ticket:1628]
- Added "execution_options()" to select()/text(), which set the
default options for the Connection. See the note in "engines".
- Deprecated or removed:
* "scalar" flag on select() is removed, use
select.as_scalar().
* "shortname" attribute on bindparam() is removed.
* postgres_returning, firebird_returning flags on
insert(), update(), delete() are deprecated, use
the new returning() method.
* fold_equivalents flag on join is deprecated (will remain
until [ticket:1131] is implemented)
- engines
- transaction isolation level may be specified with
create_engine(... isolation_level="..."); available on
postgresql and sqlite. [ticket:443]
- Connection has execution_options(), generative method
which accepts keywords that affect how the statement
is executed w.r.t. the DBAPI. Currently supports
"stream_results", causes psycopg2 to use a server
side cursor for that statement, as well as
"autocommit", which is the new location for the "autocommit"
option from select() and text(). select() and
text() also have .execution_options() as well as
ORM Query().
- fixed the import for entrypoint-driven dialects to
not rely upon silly tb_info trick to determine import
error status. [ticket:1630]
- added first() method to ResultProxy, returns first row and
closes result set immediately.
- RowProxy objects are now pickleable, i.e. the object returned
by result.fetchone(), result.fetchall() etc.
- RowProxy no longer has a close() method, as the row no longer
maintains a reference to the parent. Call close() on
the parent ResultProxy instead, or use autoclose.
- ResultProxy internals have been overhauled to greatly reduce
method call counts when fetching columns. Can provide a large
speed improvement (up to more than 100%) when fetching large
result sets. The improvement is larger when fetching columns
that have no type-level processing applied and when using
results as tuples (instead of as dictionaries). Many
thanks to Elixir's Gaëtan de Menten for this dramatic
improvement ! [ticket:1586]
- Databases which rely upon postfetch of "last inserted id"
to get at a generated sequence value (i.e. MySQL, MS-SQL)
now work correctly when there is a composite primary key
where the "autoincrement" column is not the first primary
key column in the table.
- the last_inserted_ids() method has been renamed to the
descriptor "inserted_primary_key".
- setting echo=False on create_engine() now sets the loglevel
to WARN instead of NOTSET. This so that logging can be
disabled for a particular engine even if logging
for "sqlalchemy.engine" is enabled overall. Note that the
default setting of "echo" is `None`. [ticket:1554]
- ConnectionProxy now has wrapper methods for all transaction
lifecycle events, including begin(), rollback(), commit()
begin_nested(), begin_prepared(), prepare(), release_savepoint(),
etc.
- Connection pool logging now uses both INFO and DEBUG
log levels for logging. INFO is for major events such
as invalidated connections, DEBUG for all the acquire/return
logging. `echo_pool` can be False, None, True or "debug"
the same way as `echo` works.
- All pyodbc-dialects now support extra pyodbc-specific
kw arguments 'ansi', 'unicode_results', 'autocommit'.
[ticket:1621]
- the "threadlocal" engine has been rewritten and simplified
and now supports SAVEPOINT operations.
- deprecated or removed
* result.last_inserted_ids() is deprecated. Use
result.inserted_primary_key
* dialect.get_default_schema_name(connection) is now
public via dialect.default_schema_name.
* the "connection" argument from engine.transaction() and
engine.run_callable() is removed - Connection itself
now has those methods. All four methods accept
*args and **kwargs which are passed to the given callable,
as well as the operating connection.
- schema
- the `__contains__()` method of `MetaData` now accepts
strings or `Table` objects as arguments. If given
a `Table`, the argument is converted to `table.key` first,
i.e. "[schemaname.]<tablename>" [ticket:1541]
- deprecated MetaData.connect() and
ThreadLocalMetaData.connect() have been removed - send
the "bind" attribute to bind a metadata.
- deprecated metadata.table_iterator() method removed (use
sorted_tables)
- deprecated PassiveDefault - use DefaultClause.
- the "metadata" argument is removed from DefaultGenerator
and subclasses, but remains locally present on Sequence,
which is a standalone construct in DDL.
- Removed public mutability from Index and Constraint
objects:
- ForeignKeyConstraint.append_element()
- Index.append_column()
- UniqueConstraint.append_column()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.add()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.remove()
These should be constructed declaratively (i.e. in one
construction).
- The "start" and "increment" attributes on Sequence now
generate "START WITH" and "INCREMENT BY" by default,
on Oracle and Postgresql. Firebird doesn't support
these keywords right now. [ticket:1545]
- UniqueConstraint, Index, PrimaryKeyConstraint all accept
lists of column names or column objects as arguments.
- Other removed things:
- Table.key (no idea what this was for)
- Table.primary_key is not assignable - use
table.append_constraint(PrimaryKeyConstraint(...))
- Column.bind (get via column.table.bind)
- Column.metadata (get via column.table.metadata)
- Column.sequence (use column.default)
- ForeignKey(constraint=some_parent) (is now private _constraint)
- The use_alter flag on ForeignKey is now a shortcut option
for operations that can be hand-constructed using the
DDL() event system. A side effect of this refactor is
that ForeignKeyConstraint objects with use_alter=True
will *not* be emitted on SQLite, which does not support
ALTER for foreign keys.
- ForeignKey and ForeignKeyConstraint objects now correctly
copy() all their public keyword arguments. [ticket:1605]
- Reflection/Inspection
- Table reflection has been expanded and generalized into
a new API called "sqlalchemy.engine.reflection.Inspector".
The Inspector object provides fine-grained information about
a wide variety of schema information, with room for expansion,
including table names, column names, view definitions, sequences,
indexes, etc.
- Views are now reflectable as ordinary Table objects. The same
Table constructor is used, with the caveat that "effective"
primary and foreign key constraints aren't part of the reflection
results; these have to be specified explicitly if desired.
- The existing autoload=True system now uses Inspector underneath
so that each dialect need only return "raw" data about tables
and other objects - Inspector is the single place that information
is compiled into Table objects so that consistency is at a maximum.
- DDL
- the DDL system has been greatly expanded. the DDL() class
now extends the more generic DDLElement(), which forms the basis
of many new constructs:
- CreateTable()
- DropTable()
- AddConstraint()
- DropConstraint()
- CreateIndex()
- DropIndex()
- CreateSequence()
- DropSequence()
These support "on" and "execute-at()" just like plain DDL()
does. User-defined DDLElement subclasses can be created and
linked to a compiler using the sqlalchemy.ext.compiler extension.
- The signature of the "on" callable passed to DDL() and
DDLElement() is revised as follows:
"ddl" - the DDLElement object itself.
"event" - the string event name.
"target" - previously "schema_item", the Table or
MetaData object triggering the event.
"connection" - the Connection object in use for the operation.
**kw - keyword arguments. In the case of MetaData before/after
create/drop, the list of Table objects for which
CREATE/DROP DDL is to be issued is passed as the kw
argument "tables". This is necessary for metadata-level
DDL that is dependent on the presence of specific tables.
- the "schema_item" attribute of DDL has been renamed to
"target".
- dialect refactor
- Dialect modules are now broken into database dialects
plus DBAPI implementations. Connect URLs are now
preferred to be specified using dialect+driver://...,
i.e. "mysql+mysqldb://scott:tiger@localhost/test". See
the 0.6 documentation for examples.
- the setuptools entrypoint for external dialects is now
called "sqlalchemy.dialects".
- the "owner" keyword argument is removed from Table. Use
"schema" to represent any namespaces to be prepended to
the table name.
- server_version_info becomes a static attribute.
- dialects receive an initialize() event on initial
connection to determine connection properties.
- dialects receive a visit_pool event have an opportunity
to establish pool listeners.
- cached TypeEngine classes are cached per-dialect class
instead of per-dialect.
- new UserDefinedType should be used as a base class for
new types, which preserves the 0.5 behavior of
get_col_spec().
- The result_processor() method of all type classes now
accepts a second argument "coltype", which is the DBAPI
type argument from cursor.description. This argument
can help some types decide on the most efficient processing
of result values.
- Deprecated Dialect.get_params() removed.
- Dialect.get_rowcount() has been renamed to a descriptor
"rowcount", and calls cursor.rowcount directly. Dialects
which need to hardwire a rowcount in for certain calls
should override the method to provide different behavior.
- DefaultRunner and subclasses have been removed. The job
of this object has been simplified and moved into
ExecutionContext. Dialects which support sequences should
add a `fire_sequence()` method to their execution context
implementation. [ticket:1566]
- Functions and operators generated by the compiler now use
(almost) regular dispatch functions of the form
"visit_<opname>" and "visit_<funcname>_fn" to provide
customed processing. This replaces the need to copy the
"functions" and "operators" dictionaries in compiler
subclasses with straightforward visitor methods, and also
allows compiler subclasses complete control over
rendering, as the full _Function or _BinaryExpression
object is passed in.
- postgresql
- New dialects: pg8000, zxjdbc, and pypostgresql
on py3k.
- The "postgres" dialect is now named "postgresql" !
Connection strings look like:
postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test
postgresql+pg8000://scott:tiger@localhost/test
The "postgres" name remains for backwards compatiblity
in the following ways:
- There is a "postgres.py" dummy dialect which
allows old URLs to work, i.e.
postgres://scott:tiger@localhost/test
- The "postgres" name can be imported from the old
"databases" module, i.e. "from
sqlalchemy.databases import postgres" as well as
"dialects", "from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgres
import base as pg", will send a deprecation
warning.
- Special expression arguments are now named
"postgresql_returning" and "postgresql_where", but
the older "postgres_returning" and
"postgres_where" names still work with a
deprecation warning.
- "postgresql_where" now accepts SQL expressions which
can also include literals, which will be quoted as needed.
- The psycopg2 dialect now uses psycopg2's "unicode extension"
on all new connections, which allows all String/Text/etc.
types to skip the need to post-process bytestrings into
unicode (an expensive step due to its volume). Other
dialects which return unicode natively (pg8000, zxjdbc)
also skip unicode post-processing.
- Added new ENUM type, which exists as a schema-level
construct and extends the generic Enum type. Automatically
associates itself with tables and their parent metadata
to issue the appropriate CREATE TYPE/DROP TYPE
commands as needed, supports unicode labels, supports
reflection. [ticket:1511]
- INTERVAL supports an optional "precision" argument
corresponding to the argument that PG accepts.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
psycopg2 can't handle a bind parameter name of
%(foobar)s however and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead
just to treat that one non-existent use case.
[ticket:1279]
- Inserting NULL into a primary key + foreign key column
will allow the "not null constraint" error to raise,
not an attempt to execute a nonexistent "col_id_seq"
sequence. [ticket:1516]
- autoincrement SELECT statements, i.e. those which
select from a procedure that modifies rows, now work
with server-side cursor mode (the named cursor isn't
used for such statements.)
- postgresql dialect can properly detect pg "devel" version
strings, i.e. "8.5devel" [ticket:1636]
- The psycopg2 now respects the statement option
"stream_results". This option overrides the connection setting
"server_side_cursors". If true, server side cursors will be
used for the statement. If false, they will not be used, even
if "server_side_cursors" is true on the
connection. [ticket:1619]
- mysql
- New dialects: oursql, a new native dialect,
MySQL Connector/Python, a native Python port of MySQLdb,
and of course zxjdbc on Jython.
- VARCHAR/NVARCHAR will not render without a length, raises
an error before passing to MySQL. Doesn't impact
CAST since VARCHAR is not allowed in MySQL CAST anyway,
the dialect renders CHAR/NCHAR in those cases.
- all the _detect_XXX() functions now run once underneath
dialect.initialize()
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
MySQLdb can't handle % signs in SQL when executemany() is used,
and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead just to treat that one
non-existent use case. [ticket:1279]
- the BINARY and MSBinary types now generate "BINARY" in all
cases. Omitting the "length" parameter will generate
"BINARY" with no length. Use BLOB to generate an unlengthed
binary column.
- the "quoting='quoted'" argument to MSEnum/ENUM is deprecated.
It's best to rely upon the automatic quoting.
- ENUM now subclasses the new generic Enum type, and also handles
unicode values implicitly, if the given labelnames are unicode
objects.
- a column of type TIMESTAMP now defaults to NULL if
"nullable=False" is not passed to Column(), and no default
is present. This is now consistent with all other types,
and in the case of TIMESTAMP explictly renders "NULL"
due to MySQL's "switching" of default nullability
for TIMESTAMP columns. [ticket:1539]
- oracle
- unit tests pass 100% with cx_oracle !
- support for cx_Oracle's "native unicode" mode which does
not require NLS_LANG to be set. Use the latest 5.0.2 or
later of cx_oracle.
- an NCLOB type is added to the base types.
- use_ansi=False won't leak into the FROM/WHERE clause of
a statement that's selecting from a subquery that also
uses JOIN/OUTERJOIN.
- added native INTERVAL type to the dialect. This supports
only the DAY TO SECOND interval type so far due to lack
of support in cx_oracle for YEAR TO MONTH. [ticket:1467]
- usage of the CHAR type results in cx_oracle's
FIXED_CHAR dbapi type being bound to statements.
- the Oracle dialect now features NUMBER which intends
to act justlike Oracle's NUMBER type. It is the primary
numeric type returned by table reflection and attempts
to return Decimal()/float/int based on the precision/scale
parameters. [ticket:885]
- func.char_length is a generic function for LENGTH
- ForeignKey() which includes onupdate=<value> will emit a
warning, not emit ON UPDATE CASCADE which is unsupported
by oracle
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- using types.BigInteger with Oracle will generate
NUMBER(19) [ticket:1125]
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- firebird
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- mssql
- MSSQL + Pyodbc + FreeTDS now works for the most part,
with possible exceptions regarding binary data as well as
unicode schema identifiers.
- the "has_window_funcs" flag is removed. LIMIT/OFFSET
usage will use ROW NUMBER as always, and if on an older
version of SQL Server, the operation fails. The behavior
is exactly the same except the error is raised by SQL
server instead of the dialect, and no flag setting is
required to enable it.
- the "auto_identity_insert" flag is removed. This feature
always takes effect when an INSERT statement overrides a
column that is known to have a sequence on it. As with
"has_window_funcs", if the underlying driver doesn't
support this, then you can't do this operation in any
case, so there's no point in having a flag.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- removed references to sequence which is no longer used.
implicit identities in mssql work the same as implicit
sequences on any other dialects. Explicit sequences are
enabled through the use of "default=Sequence()". See
the MSSQL dialect documentation for more information.
- sqlite
- DATE, TIME and DATETIME types can now take optional storage_format
and regexp argument. storage_format can be used to store those types
using a custom string format. regexp allows to use a custom regular
expression to match string values from the database.
- Time and DateTime types now use by a default a stricter regular
expression to match strings from the database. Use the regexp
argument if you are using data stored in a legacy format.
- __legacy_microseconds__ on SQLite Time and DateTime types is not
supported anymore. You should use the storage_format argument
instead.
- Date, Time and DateTime types are now stricter in what they accept as
bind parameters: Date type only accepts date objects (and datetime
ones, because they inherit from date), Time only accepts time
objects, and DateTime only accepts date and datetime objects.
- Table() supports a keyword argument "sqlite_autoincrement", which
applies the SQLite keyword "AUTOINCREMENT" to the single integer
primary key column when generating DDL. Will prevent generation of
a separate PRIMARY KEY constraint. [ticket:1016]
- new dialects
- postgresql+pg8000
- postgresql+pypostgresql (partial)
- postgresql+zxjdbc
- mysql+pyodbc
- mysql+zxjdbc
- types
- The construction of types within dialects has been totally
overhauled. Dialects now define publically available types
as UPPERCASE names exclusively, and internal implementation
types using underscore identifiers (i.e. are private).
The system by which types are expressed in SQL and DDL
has been moved to the compiler system. This has the
effect that there are much fewer type objects within
most dialects. A detailed document on this architecture
for dialect authors is in
lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/type_migration_guidelines.txt .
- Types no longer make any guesses as to default
parameters. In particular, Numeric, Float, NUMERIC,
FLOAT, DECIMAL don't generate any length or scale unless
specified.
- types.Binary is renamed to types.LargeBinary, it only
produces BLOB, BYTEA, or a similar "long binary" type.
New base BINARY and VARBINARY
types have been added to access these MySQL/MS-SQL specific
types in an agnostic way [ticket:1664].
- String/Text/Unicode types now skip the unicode() check
on each result column value if the dialect has
detected the DBAPI as returning Python unicode objects
natively. This check is issued on first connect
using "SELECT CAST 'some text' AS VARCHAR(10)" or
equivalent, then checking if the returned object
is a Python unicode. This allows vast performance
increases for native-unicode DBAPIs, including
pysqlite/sqlite3, psycopg2, and pg8000.
- Most types result processors have been checked for possible speed
improvements. Specifically, the following generic types have been
optimized, resulting in varying speed improvements:
Unicode, PickleType, Interval, TypeDecorator, Binary.
Also the following dbapi-specific implementations have been improved:
Time, Date and DateTime on Sqlite, ARRAY on Postgresql,
Time on MySQL, Numeric(as_decimal=False) on MySQL, oursql and
pypostgresql, DateTime on cx_oracle and LOB-based types on cx_oracle.
- Reflection of types now returns the exact UPPERCASE
type within types.py, or the UPPERCASE type within
the dialect itself if the type is not a standard SQL
type. This means reflection now returns more accurate
information about reflected types.
- Added a new Enum generic type. Enum is a schema-aware object
to support databases which require specific DDL in order to
use enum or equivalent; in the case of PG it handles the
details of `CREATE TYPE`, and on other databases without
native enum support will by generate VARCHAR + an inline CHECK
constraint to enforce the enum.
[ticket:1109] [ticket:1511]
- The Interval type includes a "native" flag which controls
if native INTERVAL types (postgresql + oracle) are selected
if available, or not. "day_precision" and "second_precision"
arguments are also added which propagate as appropriately
to these native types. Related to [ticket:1467].
- The Boolean type, when used on a backend that doesn't
have native boolean support, will generate a CHECK
constraint "col IN (0, 1)" along with the int/smallint-
based column type. This can be switched off if
desired with create_constraint=False.
Note that MySQL has no native boolean *or* CHECK constraint
support so this feature isn't available on that platform.
[ticket:1589]
- PickleType now uses == for comparison of values when
mutable=True, unless the "comparator" argument with a
comparsion function is specified to the type. Objects
being pickled will be compared based on identity (which
defeats the purpose of mutable=True) if __eq__() is not
overridden or a comparison function is not provided.
- The default "precision" and "scale" arguments of Numeric
and Float have been removed and now default to None.
NUMERIC and FLOAT will be rendered with no numeric
arguments by default unless these values are provided.
- AbstractType.get_search_list() is removed - the games
that was used for are no longer necessary.
- Added a generic BigInteger type, compiles to
BIGINT or NUMBER(19). [ticket:1125]
-ext
- sqlsoup has been overhauled to explicitly support an 0.5 style
session, using autocommit=False, autoflush=True. Default
behavior of SQLSoup now requires the usual usage of commit()
and rollback(), which have been added to its interface. An
explcit Session or scoped_session can be passed to the
constructor, allowing these arguments to be overridden.
- sqlsoup db.<sometable>.update() and delete() now call
query(cls).update() and delete(), respectively.
- sqlsoup now has execute() and connection(), which call upon
the Session methods of those names, ensuring that the bind is
in terms of the SqlSoup object's bind.
- sqlsoup objects no longer have the 'query' attribute - it's
not needed for sqlsoup's usage paradigm and it gets in the
way of a column that is actually named 'query'.
- The signature of the proxy_factory callable passed to
association_proxy is now (lazy_collection, creator,
value_attr, association_proxy), adding a fourth argument
that is the parent AssociationProxy argument. Allows
serializability and subclassing of the built in collections.
[ticket:1259]
- association_proxy now has basic comparator methods .any(),
.has(), .contains(), ==, !=, thanks to Scott Torborg.
[ticket:1372]
- examples
- The "query_cache" examples have been removed, and are replaced
with a fully comprehensive approach that combines the usage of
Beaker with SQLAlchemy. New query options are used to indicate
the caching characteristics of a particular Query, which
can also be invoked deep within an object graph when lazily
loading related objects. See /examples/beaker_caching/README.

- The copy() method on Column now supports uninitialized,
unnamed Column objects. This allows easy creation of
declarative helpers which place common columns on multiple
subclasses.
- Default generators like Sequence() translate correctly
across a copy() operation.
- Sequence() and other DefaultGenerator objects are accepted
as the value for the "default" and "onupdate" keyword
arguments of Column, in addition to being accepted
positionally.
- Fixed a column arithmetic bug that affected column
correspondence for cloned selectables which contain
free-standing column expressions. This bug is
generally only noticeable when exercising newer
ORM behavior only availble in 0.6 via [ticket:1568],
but is more correct at the SQL expression level
as well. [ticket:1617]
- postgresql
- The extract() function, which was slightly improved in
0.5.7, needed a lot more work to generate the correct
typecast (the typecasts appear to be necessary in PG's
EXTRACT quite a lot of the time). The typecast is
now generated using a rule dictionary based
on PG's documentation for date/time/interval arithmetic.
It also accepts text() constructs again, which was broken
in 0.5.7. [ticket:1647]
- firebird
- Recognize more errors as disconnections. [ticket:1646]
0.5.7
=====
- orm
- contains_eager() now works with the automatically
generated subquery that results when you say
"query(Parent).join(Parent.somejoinedsubclass)", i.e.
when Parent joins to a joined-table-inheritance subclass.
Previously contains_eager() would erroneously add the
subclass table to the query separately producing a
cartesian product. An example is in the ticket
description. [ticket:1543]
- query.options() now only propagate to loaded objects
for potential further sub-loads only for options where
such behavior is relevant, keeping
various unserializable options like those generated
by contains_eager() out of individual instance states.
[ticket:1553]
- Session.execute() now locates table- and
mapper-specific binds based on a passed
in expression which is an insert()/update()/delete()
construct. [ticket:1054]
- Session.merge() now properly overwrites a many-to-one or
uselist=False attribute to None if the attribute
is also None in the given object to be merged.
- Fixed a needless select which would occur when merging
transient objects that contained a null primary key
identifier. [ticket:1618]
- Mutable collection passed to the "extension" attribute
of relation(), column_property() etc. will not be mutated
or shared among multiple instrumentation calls, preventing
duplicate extensions, such as backref populators,
from being inserted into the list.
[ticket:1585]
- Fixed the call to get_committed_value() on CompositeProperty.
[ticket:1504]
- Fixed bug where Query would crash if a join() with no clear
"left" side were called when a non-mapped column entity
appeared in the columns list. [ticket:1602]
- Fixed bug whereby composite columns wouldn't load properly
when configured on a joined-table subclass, introduced in
version 0.5.6 as a result of the fix for [ticket:1480].
[ticket:1616] thx to Scott Torborg.
- The "use get" behavior of many-to-one relations, i.e. that a
lazy load will fallback to the possibly cached query.get()
value, now works across join conditions where the two compared
types are not exactly the same class, but share the same
"affinity" - i.e. Integer and SmallInteger. Also allows
combinations of reflected and non-reflected types to work
with 0.5 style type reflection, such as PGText/Text (note 0.6
reflects types as their generic versions). [ticket:1556]
- Fixed bug in query.update() when passing Cls.attribute
as keys in the value dict and using synchronize_session='expire'
('fetch' in 0.6). [ticket:1436]
- sql
- Fixed bug in two-phase transaction whereby commit() method
didn't set the full state which allows subsequent close()
call to succeed. [ticket:1603]
- Fixed the "numeric" paramstyle, which apparently is the
default paramstyle used by Informixdb.
- Repeat expressions in the columns clause of a select
are deduped based on the identity of each clause element,
not the actual string. This allows positional
elements to render correctly even if they all render
identically, such as "qmark" style bind parameters.
[ticket:1574]
- The cursor associated with connection pool connections
(i.e. _CursorFairy) now proxies `__iter__()` to the
underlying cursor correctly. [ticket:1632]
- types now support an "affinity comparison" operation, i.e.
that an Integer/SmallInteger are "compatible", or
a Text/String, PickleType/Binary, etc. Part of
[ticket:1556].
- Fixed bug preventing alias() of an alias() from being
cloned or adapted (occurs frequently in ORM operations).
[ticket:1641]
- sqlite
- sqlite dialect properly generates CREATE INDEX for a table
that is in an alternate schema. [ticket:1439]
- postgresql
- Added support for reflecting the DOUBLE PRECISION type,
via a new postgres.PGDoublePrecision object.
This is postgresql.DOUBLE_PRECISION in 0.6.
[ticket:1085]
- Added support for reflecting the INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND syntaxes of the INTERVAL
type. [ticket:460]
- Corrected the "has_sequence" query to take current schema,
or explicit sequence-stated schema, into account.
[ticket:1576]
- Fixed the behavior of extract() to apply operator
precedence rules to the "::" operator when applying
the "timestamp" cast - ensures proper parenthesization.
[ticket:1611]
- mssql
- Changed the name of TrustedConnection to
Trusted_Connection when constructing pyodbc connect
arguments [ticket:1561]
- oracle
- The "table_names" dialect function, used by MetaData
.reflect(), omits "index overflow tables", a system
table generated by Oracle when "index only tables"
with overflow are used. These tables aren't accessible
via SQL and can't be reflected. [ticket:1637]
- ext
- A column can be added to a joined-table declarative
superclass after the class has been constructed
(i.e. via class-level attribute assignment), and
the column will be propagated down to
subclasses. [ticket:1570] This is the reverse
situation as that of [ticket:1523], fixed in 0.5.6.
- Fixed a slight inaccuracy in the sharding example.
Comparing equivalence of columns in the ORM is best
accomplished using col1.shares_lineage(col2).
[ticket:1491]
- Removed unused `load()` method from ShardedQuery.
[ticket:1606]

Update py-sqlalchemy to version 0.8.2.
Changes since 0.7.10:
- Compatibility for Python 2.4 is being dropped.
- The primaryjoin argument is no longer needed when constructing a
relationship() against a class that has multiple foreign key paths to the
target.
- Relationships against self-referential, composite foreign keys where a
column points to itself are now supported.
- Previously difficult custom join conditions, like those involving
functions and/or CASTing of types, will now function as expected in most
cases.
- New Class/Object Inspection System.
- A new enhancement to the aliased() construct has been added called
with_polymorphic() which allows any entity to be “aliased” into a
“polymorphic” version of itself, freely usable anywhere.
- The PropComparator.of_type() method can now be used to target any number
of target subtypes, by combining it with the new with_polymorphic()
function.
- Mapper and instance events can now be associated with an unmapped
superclass, where those events will be propagated to subclasses as those
subclasses are mapped. The propagate=True flag should be used.
- The registry of class names is now sensitive to the owning module and
package of a given class. The classes can be referred to via dotted name
in expressions.
- The “deferred reflection” feature allows the construction of declarative
mapped classes with only placeholder Table metadata, until a prepare()
step is called, given an Engine with which to reflect fully all tables
and establish actual mappings. The system supports overriding of columns,
single and joined inheritance, as well as distinct bases-per-engine.
- A new SQL registration system allows a mapped class to be accepted as a
FROM clause within the core.
- The new UPDATE..FROM mechanics work in query.update().
- Upon rollback(), only those objects that were made dirty since the last
flush will be expired, the rest of the Session remains intact.
- Caching Example now uses dogpile.cache.
- The new operator system in Core associates new and overridden operators
with types.
- SQL expressions can now be associated with types.
- The inspect() function introduced in New Class/Object Inspection System
also applies to the core.
- select() now has a method Select.correlate_except() which specifies
“correlate on all FROM clauses except those specified”.
- Support for Postgresql’s HSTORE type is now available as
postgresql.HSTORE. This type makes great usage of the new operator system
to provide a full range of operators for HSTORE types, including index
access, concatenation, and containment methods such as has_key(),
has_any(), and matrix().
- The postgresql.ARRAY type will accept an optional “dimension” argument,
pinning it to a fixed number of dimensions and greatly improving
efficiency when retrieving results.
- SQLite has no built-in DATE, TIME, or DATETIME types, and instead
provides some support for storage of date and time values either as
strings or integers.
- The “collate” keyword, long accepted by the MySQL dialect, is now
established on all String types and will render on any backend, including
when features such as MetaData.create_all() and cast() is used.
- Geared towards MySQL, a “prefix” can be rendered within any of these
constructs.
- The consideration of a “pending” object as an “orphan” has been made more
aggressive.
- The after_attach event fires after the item is associated with the
Session instead of before; before_attach added.
- Query now auto-correlates like a select() does.
- Correlation is now always context-specific.
- create_all() and drop_all() will now honor an empty list as such.
- Repaired the Event Targeting of InstrumentationEvents.
- No more magic coercion of “=” to IN when comparing to subquery in
MS-SQL.
- The Session.is_modified() method accepts an argument passive which
basically should not be necessary, the argument in all cases should be
the value True - when left at its default of False it would have the
effect of hitting the database, and often triggering autoflush which
would itself change the results. In 0.8 the passive argument will have no
effect, and unloaded attributes will never be checked for history since
by definition there can be no pending state change on an unloaded
attribute.
- Column.key is honored in the Select.c attribute of select() with
Select.apply_labels().
- A relationship() that is many-to-one or many-to-many and specifies
“cascade=’all, delete-orphan’”, which is an awkward but nonetheless
supported use case (with restrictions) will now raise an error if the
relationship does not specify the single_parent=True option.
- Adding the inspector argument to the column_reflect event.
- The MySQL dialect does two calls, one very expensive, to load all
possible collations from the database as well as information on casing,
the first time an Engine connects. Neither of these collections are used
for any SQLAlchemy functions, so these calls will be changed to no longer
be emitted automatically. Applications that might have relied on these
collections being present on engine.dialect will need to call upon
_detect_collations() and _detect_casing() directly.
- Inspector.get_primary_keys() is deprecated, use
Inspector.get_pk_constraint.
- Case-insensitive result row names will be disabled in most cases. It will
be available only optionally, by passing the flag `case_sensitive=False`
to `create_engine()`, but otherwise column names requested from the row
must match as far as casing.
- The sqlalchemy.orm.interfaces.InstrumentationManager class is moved to
sqlalchemy.ext.instrumentation.InstrumentationManager.
- SQLSoup is now moved into its own project and documented/released
separately; see https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/sqlsoup.
- The older “mutable” system within the SQLAlchemy ORM has been removed.
- We had left in an alias sqlalchemy.exceptions to attempt to make it
slightly easier for some very old libraries that hadn’t yet been upgraded
to use sqlalchemy.exc. Some users are still being confused by it however
so in 0.8 we’re taking it out entirely to eliminate any of that confusion.

Update SQLalchemy to version 0.6.0.
Changes since 0.5.6:
0.6.0
=====
- orm
- Unit of work internals have been rewritten. Units of work
with large numbers of objects interdependent objects
can now be flushed without recursion overflows
as there is no longer reliance upon recursive calls
[ticket:1081]. The number of internal structures now stays
constant for a particular session state, regardless of
how many relationships are present on mappings. The flow
of events now corresponds to a linear list of steps,
generated by the mappers and relationships based on actual
work to be done, filtered through a single topological sort
for correct ordering. Flush actions are assembled using
far fewer steps and less memory. [ticket:1742]
- Along with the UOW rewrite, this also removes an issue
introduced in 0.6beta3 regarding topological cycle detection
for units of work with long dependency cycles. We now use
an algorithm written by Guido (thanks Guido!).
- one-to-many relationships now maintain a list of positive
parent-child associations within the flush, preventing
previous parents marked as deleted from cascading a
delete or NULL foreign key set on those child objects,
despite the end-user not removing the child from the old
association. [ticket:1764]
- A collection lazy load will switch off default
eagerloading on the reverse many-to-one side, since
that loading is by definition unnecessary. [ticket:1495]
- Session.refresh() now does an equivalent expire()
on the given instance first, so that the "refresh-expire"
cascade is propagated. Previously, refresh() was
not affected in any way by the presence of "refresh-expire"
cascade. This is a change in behavior versus that
of 0.6beta2, where the "lockmode" flag passed to refresh()
would cause a version check to occur. Since the instance
is first expired, refresh() always upgrades the object
to the most recent version.
- The 'refresh-expire' cascade, when reaching a pending object,
will expunge the object if the cascade also includes
"delete-orphan", or will simply detach it otherwise.
[ticket:1754]
- id(obj) is no longer used internally within topological.py,
as the sorting functions now require hashable objects
only. [ticket:1756]
- The ORM will set the docstring of all generated descriptors
to None by default. This can be overridden using 'doc'
(or if using Sphinx, attribute docstrings work too).
- Added kw argument 'doc' to all mapper property callables
as well as Column(). Will assemble the string 'doc' as
the '__doc__' attribute on the descriptor.
- Usage of version_id_col on a backend that supports
cursor.rowcount for execute() but not executemany() now works
when a delete is issued (already worked for saves, since those
don't use executemany()). For a backend that doesn't support
cursor.rowcount at all, a warning is emitted the same
as with saves. [ticket:1761]
- The ORM now short-term caches the "compiled" form of
insert() and update() constructs when flushing lists of
objects of all the same class, thereby avoiding redundant
compilation per individual INSERT/UPDATE within an
individual flush() call.
- internal getattr(), setattr(), getcommitted() methods
on ColumnProperty, CompositeProperty, RelationshipProperty
have been underscored (i.e. are private), signature has
changed.
- engines
- The C extension now also works with DBAPIs which use custom
sequences as row (and not only tuples). [ticket:1757]
- sql
- Restored some bind-labeling logic from 0.5 which ensures
that tables with column names that overlap another column
of the form "<tablename>_<columnname>" won't produce
errors if column._label is used as a bind name during
an UPDATE. Test coverage which wasn't present in 0.5
has been added. [ticket:1755]
- somejoin.select(fold_equivalents=True) is no longer
deprecated, and will eventually be rolled into a more
comprehensive version of the feature for [ticket:1729].
- the Numeric type raises an *enormous* warning when expected
to convert floats to Decimal from a DBAPI that returns floats.
This includes SQLite, Sybase, MS-SQL. [ticket:1759]
- Fixed an error in expression typing which caused an endless
loop for expressions with two NULL types.
- Fixed bug in execution_options() feature whereby the existing
Transaction and other state information from the parent
connection would not be propagated to the sub-connection.
- Added new 'compiled_cache' execution option. A dictionary
where Compiled objects will be cached when the Connection
compiles a clause expression into a dialect- and parameter-
specific Compiled object. It is the user's responsibility to
manage the size of this dictionary, which will have keys
corresponding to the dialect, clause element, the column
names within the VALUES or SET clause of an INSERT or UPDATE,
as well as the "batch" mode for an INSERT or UPDATE statement.
- Added get_pk_constraint() to reflection.Inspector, similar
to get_primary_keys() except returns a dict that includes the
name of the constraint, for supported backends (PG so far).
[ticket:1769]
- Table.create() and Table.drop() no longer apply metadata-
level create/drop events. [ticket:1771]
- ext
- the compiler extension now allows @compiles decorators
on base classes that extend to child classes, @compiles
decorators on child classes that aren't broken by a
@compiles decorator on the base class.
- Declarative will raise an informative error message
if a non-mapped class attribute is referenced in the
string-based relationship() arguments.
- Further reworked the "mixin" logic in declarative to
additionally allow __mapper_args__ as a @classproperty
on a mixin, such as to dynamically assign polymorphic_identity.
- postgresql
- Postgresql now reflects sequence names associated with
SERIAL columns correctly, after the name of of the sequence
has been changed. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the patch.
[ticket:1071]
- Repaired missing import in psycopg2._PGNumeric type when
unknown numeric is received.
- psycopg2/pg8000 dialects now aware of REAL[], FLOAT[],
DOUBLE_PRECISION[], NUMERIC[] return types without
raising an exception.
- Postgresql reflects the name of primary key constraints,
if one exists. [ticket:1769]
- oracle
- Now using cx_oracle output converters so that the
DBAPI returns natively the kinds of values we prefer:
- NUMBER values with positive precision + scale convert
to cx_oracle.STRING and then to Decimal. This
allows perfect precision for the Numeric type when
using cx_oracle. [ticket:1759]
- STRING/FIXED_CHAR now convert to unicode natively.
SQLAlchemy's String types then don't need to
apply any kind of conversions.
- firebird
- The functionality of result.rowcount can be disabled on a
per-engine basis by setting 'enable_rowcount=False'
on create_engine(). Normally, cursor.rowcount is called
after any UPDATE or DELETE statement unconditionally,
because the cursor is then closed and Firebird requires
an open cursor in order to get a rowcount. This
call is slightly expensive however so it can be disabled.
To re-enable on a per-execution basis, the
'enable_rowcount=True' execution option may be used.
- examples
- Updated attribute_shard.py example to use a more robust
method of searching a Query for binary expressions which
compare columns against literal values.
0.6beta3
========
- orm
- Major feature: Added new "subquery" loading capability to
relationship(). This is an eager loading option which
generates a second SELECT for each collection represented
in a query, across all parents at once. The query
re-issues the original end-user query wrapped in a subquery,
applies joins out to the target collection, and loads
all those collections fully in one result, similar to
"joined" eager loading but using all inner joins and not
re-fetching full parent rows repeatedly (as most DBAPIs seem
to do, even if columns are skipped). Subquery loading is
available at mapper config level using "lazy='subquery'" and
at the query options level using "subqueryload(props..)",
"subqueryload_all(props...)". [ticket:1675]
- To accomodate the fact that there are now two kinds of eager
loading available, the new names for eagerload() and
eagerload_all() are joinedload() and joinedload_all(). The
old names will remain as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- The "lazy" flag on the relationship() function now accepts
a string argument for all kinds of loading: "select", "joined",
"subquery", "noload" and "dynamic", where the default is now
"select". The old values of True/
False/None still retain their usual meanings and will remain
as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- Added with_hint() method to Query() construct. This calls
directly down to select().with_hint() and also accepts
entities as well as tables and aliases. See with_hint() in the
SQL section below. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug in Query whereby calling q.join(prop).from_self(...).
join(prop) would fail to render the second join outside the
subquery, when joining on the same criterion as was on the
inside.
- Fixed bug in Query whereby the usage of aliased() constructs
would fail if the underlying table (but not the actual alias)
were referenced inside the subquery generated by
q.from_self() or q.select_from().
- Fixed bug which affected all eagerload() and similar options
such that "remote" eager loads, i.e. eagerloads off of a lazy
load such as query(A).options(eagerload(A.b, B.c))
wouldn't eagerload anything, but using eagerload("b.c") would
work fine.
- Query gains an add_columns(*columns) method which is a multi-
version of add_column(col). add_column(col) is future
deprecated.
- Query.join() will detect if the end result will be
"FROM A JOIN A", and will raise an error if so.
- Query.join(Cls.propname, from_joinpoint=True) will check more
carefully that "Cls" is compatible with the current joinpoint,
and act the same way as Query.join("propname", from_joinpoint=True)
in that regard.
- sql
- Added with_hint() method to select() construct. Specify
a table/alias, hint text, and optional dialect name, and
"hints" will be rendered in the appropriate place in the
statement. Works for Oracle, Sybase, MySQL. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug introduced in 0.6beta2 where column labels would
render inside of column expressions already assigned a label.
[ticket:1747]
- postgresql
- The psycopg2 dialect will log NOTICE messages via the
"sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql" logger name.
[ticket:877]
- the TIME and TIMESTAMP types are now availble from the
postgresql dialect directly, which add the PG-specific
argument 'precision' to both. 'precision' and
'timezone' are correctly reflected for both TIME and
TIMEZONE types. [ticket:997]
- mysql
- No longer guessing that TINYINT(1) should be BOOLEAN
when reflecting - TINYINT(1) is returned. Use Boolean/
BOOLEAN in table definition to get boolean conversion
behavior. [ticket:1752]
- oracle
- The Oracle dialect will issue VARCHAR type definitions
using character counts, i.e. VARCHAR2(50 CHAR), so that
the column is sized in terms of characters and not bytes.
Column reflection of character types will also use
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.CHAR_LENGTH instead of
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.DATA_LENGTH. Both of these behaviors take
effect when the server version is 9 or higher - for
version 8, the old behaviors are used. [ticket:1744]
- declarative
- Using a mixin won't break if the mixin implements an
unpredictable __getattribute__(), i.e. Zope interfaces.
[ticket:1746]
- Using @classdecorator and similar on mixins to define
__tablename__, __table_args__, etc. now works if
the method references attributes on the ultimate
subclass. [ticket:1749]
- relationships and columns with foreign keys aren't
allowed on declarative mixins, sorry. [ticket:1751]
- ext
- The sqlalchemy.orm.shard module now becomes an extension,
sqlalchemy.ext.horizontal_shard. The old import
works with a deprecation warning.
0.6beta2
========
- py3k
- Improved the installation/test setup regarding Python 3,
now that Distribute runs on Py3k. distribute_setup.py
is now included. See README.py3k for Python 3 installation/
testing instructions.
- orm
- The official name for the relation() function is now
relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational
algebra term. relation() however will remain available
in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
- Added "version_id_generator" argument to Mapper, this is a
callable that, given the current value of the "version_id_col",
returns the next version number. Can be used for alternate
versioning schemes such as uuid, timestamps. [ticket:1692]
- added "lockmode" kw argument to Session.refresh(), will
pass through the string value to Query the same as
in with_lockmode(), will also do version check for a
version_id_col-enabled mapping.
- Fixed bug whereby calling query(A).join(A.bs).add_entity(B)
in a joined inheritance scenario would double-add B as a
target and produce an invalid query. [ticket:1188]
- Fixed bug in session.rollback() which involved not removing
formerly "pending" objects from the session before
re-integrating "deleted" objects, typically occured with
natural primary keys. If there was a primary key conflict
between them, the attach of the deleted would fail
internally. The formerly "pending" objects are now expunged
first. [ticket:1674]
- Removed a lot of logging that nobody really cares about,
logging that remains will respond to live changes in the
log level. No significant overhead is added. [ticket:1719]
- Fixed bug in session.merge() which prevented dict-like
collections from merging.
- session.merge() works with relations that specifically
don't include "merge" in their cascade options - the target
is ignored completely.
- session.merge() will not expire existing scalar attributes
on an existing target if the target has a value for that
attribute, even if the incoming merged doesn't have
a value for the attribute. This prevents unnecessary loads
on existing items. Will still mark the attr as expired
if the destination doesn't have the attr, though, which
fulfills some contracts of deferred cols. [ticket:1681]
- The "allow_null_pks" flag is now called "allow_partial_pks",
defaults to True, acts like it did in 0.5 again. Except,
it also is implemented within merge() such that a SELECT
won't be issued for an incoming instance with partially
NULL primary key if the flag is False. [ticket:1680]
- Fixed bug in 0.6-reworked "many-to-one" optimizations
such that a many-to-one that is against a non-primary key
column on the remote table (i.e. foreign key against a
UNIQUE column) will pull the "old" value in from the
database during a change, since if it's in the session
we will need it for proper history/backref accounting,
and we can't pull from the local identity map on a
non-primary key column. [ticket:1737]
- fixed internal error which would occur if calling has()
or similar complex expression on a single-table inheritance
relation(). [ticket:1731]
- query.one() no longer applies LIMIT to the query, this to
ensure that it fully counts all object identities present
in the result, even in the case where joins may conceal
multiple identities for two or more rows. As a bonus,
one() can now also be called with a query that issued
from_statement() to start with since it no longer modifies
the query. [ticket:1688]
- query.get() now returns None if queried for an identifier
that is present in the identity map with a different class
than the one requested, i.e. when using polymorphic loading.
[ticket:1727]
- A major fix in query.join(), when the "on" clause is an
attribute of an aliased() construct, but there is already
an existing join made out to a compatible target, query properly
joins to the right aliased() construct instead of sticking
onto the right side of the existing join. [ticket:1706]
- Slight improvement to the fix for [ticket:1362] to not issue
needless updates of the primary key column during a so-called
"row switch" operation, i.e. add + delete of two objects
with the same PK.
- Now uses sqlalchemy.orm.exc.DetachedInstanceError when an
attribute load or refresh action fails due to object
being detached from any Session. UnboundExecutionError
is specific to engines bound to sessions and statements.
- Query called in the context of an expression will render
disambiguating labels in all cases. Note that this does
not apply to the existing .statement and .subquery()
accessor/method, which still honors the .with_labels()
setting that defaults to False.
- Query.union() retains disambiguating labels within the
returned statement, thus avoiding various SQL composition
errors which can result from column name conflicts.
[ticket:1676]
- Fixed bug in attribute history that inadvertently invoked
__eq__ on mapped instances.
- Some internal streamlining of object loading grants a
small speedup for large results, estimates are around
10-15%. Gave the "state" internals a good solid
cleanup with less complexity, datamembers,
method calls, blank dictionary creates.
- Documentation clarification for query.delete()
[ticket:1689]
- Fixed cascade bug in many-to-one relation() when attribute
was set to None, introduced in r6711 (cascade deleted
items into session during add()).
- Calling query.order_by() or query.distinct() before calling
query.select_from(), query.with_polymorphic(), or
query.from_statement() raises an exception now instead of
silently dropping those criterion. [ticket:1736]
- query.scalar() now raises an exception if more than one
row is returned. All other behavior remains the same.
[ticket:1735]
- Fixed bug which caused "row switch" logic, that is an
INSERT and DELETE replaced by an UPDATE, to fail when
version_id_col was in use. [ticket:1692]
- sql
- join() will now simulate a NATURAL JOIN by default. Meaning,
if the left side is a join, it will attempt to join the right
side to the rightmost side of the left first, and not raise
any exceptions about ambiguous join conditions if successful
even if there are further join targets across the rest of
the left. [ticket:1714]
- The most common result processors conversion function were
moved to the new "processors" module. Dialect authors are
encouraged to use those functions whenever they correspond
to their needs instead of implementing custom ones.
- SchemaType and subclasses Boolean, Enum are now serializable,
including their ddl listener and other event callables.
[ticket:1694] [ticket:1698]
- Some platforms will now interpret certain literal values
as non-bind parameters, rendered literally into the SQL
statement. This to support strict SQL-92 rules that are
enforced by some platforms including MS-SQL and Sybase.
In this model, bind parameters aren't allowed in the
columns clause of a SELECT, nor are certain ambiguous
expressions like "?=?". When this mode is enabled, the base
compiler will render the binds as inline literals, but only across
strings and numeric values. Other types such as dates
will raise an error, unless the dialect subclass defines
a literal rendering function for those. The bind parameter
must have an embedded literal value already or an error
is raised (i.e. won't work with straight bindparam('x')).
Dialects can also expand upon the areas where binds are not
accepted, such as within argument lists of functions
(which don't work on MS-SQL when native SQL binding is used).
- Added "unicode_errors" parameter to String, Unicode, etc.
Behaves like the 'errors' keyword argument to
the standard library's string.decode() functions. This flag
requires that `convert_unicode` is set to `"force"` - otherwise,
SQLAlchemy is not guaranteed to handle the task of unicode
conversion. Note that this flag adds significant performance
overhead to row-fetching operations for backends that already
return unicode objects natively (which most DBAPIs do). This
flag should only be used as an absolute last resort for reading
strings from a column with varied or corrupted encodings,
which only applies to databases that accept invalid encodings
in the first place (i.e. MySQL. *not* PG, Sqlite, etc.)
- Added math negation operator support, -x.
- FunctionElement subclasses are now directly executable the
same way any func.foo() construct is, with automatic
SELECT being applied when passed to execute().
- The "type" and "bind" keyword arguments of a func.foo()
construct are now local to "func." constructs and are
not part of the FunctionElement base class, allowing
a "type" to be handled in a custom constructor or
class-level variable.
- Restored the keys() method to ResultProxy.
- The type/expression system now does a more complete job
of determining the return type from an expression
as well as the adaptation of the Python operator into
a SQL operator, based on the full left/right/operator
of the given expression. In particular
the date/time/interval system created for Postgresql
EXTRACT in [ticket:1647] has now been generalized into
the type system. The previous behavior which often
occured of an expression "column + literal" forcing
the type of "literal" to be the same as that of "column"
will now usually not occur - the type of
"literal" is first derived from the Python type of the
literal, assuming standard native Python types + date
types, before falling back to that of the known type
on the other side of the expression. If the
"fallback" type is compatible (i.e. CHAR from String),
the literal side will use that. TypeDecorator
types override this by default to coerce the "literal"
side unconditionally, which can be changed by implementing
the coerce_compared_value() method. Also part of
[ticket:1683].
- Made sqlalchemy.sql.expressions.Executable part of public
API, used for any expression construct that can be sent to
execute(). FunctionElement now inherits Executable so that
it gains execution_options(), which are also propagated
to the select() that's generated within execute().
Executable in turn subclasses _Generative which marks
any ClauseElement that supports the @_generative
decorator - these may also become "public" for the benefit
of the compiler extension at some point.
- A change to the solution for [ticket:1579] - an end-user
defined bind parameter name that directly conflicts with
a column-named bind generated directly from the SET or
VALUES clause of an update/insert generates a compile error.
This reduces call counts and eliminates some cases where
undesirable name conflicts could still occur.
- Column() requires a type if it has no foreign keys (this is
not new). An error is now raised if a Column() has no type
and no foreign keys. [ticket:1705]
- the "scale" argument of the Numeric() type is honored when
coercing a returned floating point value into a string
on its way to Decimal - this allows accuracy to function
on SQLite, MySQL. [ticket:1717]
- the copy() method of Column now copies over uninitialized
"on table attach" events. Helps with the new declarative
"mixin" capability.
- engines
- Added an optional C extension to speed up the sql layer by
reimplementing RowProxy and the most common result processors.
The actual speedups will depend heavily on your DBAPI and
the mix of datatypes used in your tables, and can vary from
a 30% improvement to more than 200%. It also provides a modest
(~15-20%) indirect improvement to ORM speed for large queries.
Note that it is *not* built/installed by default.
See README for installation instructions.
- the execution sequence pulls all rowcount/last inserted ID
info from the cursor before commit() is called on the
DBAPI connection in an "autocommit" scenario. This helps
mxodbc with rowcount and is probably a good idea overall.
- Opened up logging a bit such that isEnabledFor() is called
more often, so that changes to the log level for engine/pool
will be reflected on next connect. This adds a small
amount of method call overhead. It's negligible and will make
life a lot easier for all those situations when logging
just happens to be configured after create_engine() is called.
[ticket:1719]
- The assert_unicode flag is deprecated. SQLAlchemy will raise
a warning in all cases where it is asked to encode a non-unicode
Python string, as well as when a Unicode or UnicodeType type
is explicitly passed a bytestring. The String type will do nothing
for DBAPIs that already accept Python unicode objects.
- Bind parameters are sent as a tuple instead of a list. Some
backend drivers will not accept bind parameters as a list.
- threadlocal engine wasn't properly closing the connection
upon close() - fixed that.
- Transaction object doesn't rollback or commit if it isn't
"active", allows more accurate nesting of begin/rollback/commit.
- Python unicode objects as binds result in the Unicode type,
not string, thus eliminating a certain class of unicode errors
on drivers that don't support unicode binds.
- Added "logging_name" argument to create_engine(), Pool() constructor
as well as "pool_logging_name" argument to create_engine() which
filters down to that of Pool. Issues the given string name
within the "name" field of logging messages instead of the default
hex identifier string. [ticket:1555]
- The visit_pool() method of Dialect is removed, and replaced with
on_connect(). This method returns a callable which receives
the raw DBAPI connection after each one is created. The callable
is assembled into a first_connect/connect pool listener by the
connection strategy if non-None. Provides a simpler interface
for dialects.
- StaticPool now initializes, disposes and recreates without
opening a new connection - the connection is only opened when
first requested. dispose() also works on AssertionPool now.
[ticket:1728]
- metadata
- Added the ability to strip schema information when using
"tometadata" by passing "schema=None" as an argument. If schema
is not specified then the table's schema is retained.
[ticket: 1673]
- declarative
- DeclarativeMeta exclusively uses cls.__dict__ (not dict_)
as the source of class information; _as_declarative exclusively
uses the dict_ passed to it as the source of class information
(which when using DeclarativeMeta is cls.__dict__). This should
in theory make it easier for custom metaclasses to modify
the state passed into _as_declarative.
- declarative now accepts mixin classes directly, as a means
to provide common functional and column-based elements on
all subclasses, as well as a means to propagate a fixed
set of __table_args__ or __mapper_args__ to subclasses.
For custom combinations of __table_args__/__mapper_args__ from
an inherited mixin to local, descriptors can now be used.
New details are all up in the Declarative documentation.
Thanks to Chris Withers for putting up with my strife
on this. [ticket:1707]
- the __mapper_args__ dict is copied when propagating to a subclass,
and is taken straight off the class __dict__ to avoid any
propagation from the parent. mapper inheritance already
propagates the things you want from the parent mapper.
[ticket:1393]
- An exception is raised when a single-table subclass specifies
a column that is already present on the base class.
[ticket:1732]
- mysql
- Fixed reflection bug whereby when COLLATE was present,
nullable flag and server defaults would not be reflected.
[ticket:1655]
- Fixed reflection of TINYINT(1) "boolean" columns defined with
integer flags like UNSIGNED.
- Further fixes for the mysql-connector dialect. [ticket:1668]
- Composite PK table on InnoDB where the "autoincrement" column
isn't first will emit an explicit "KEY" phrase within
CREATE TABLE thereby avoiding errors, [ticket:1496]
- Added reflection/create table support for a wide range
of MySQL keywords. [ticket:1634]
- Fixed import error which could occur reflecting tables on
a Windows host [ticket:1580]
- mssql
- Re-established support for the pymssql dialect.
- Various fixes for implicit returning, reflection,
etc. - the MS-SQL dialects aren't quite complete
in 0.6 yet (but are close)
- Added basic support for mxODBC [ticket:1710].
- Removed the text_as_varchar option.
- oracle
- "out" parameters require a type that is supported by
cx_oracle. An error will be raised if no cx_oracle
type can be found.
- Oracle 'DATE' now does not perform any result processing,
as the DATE type in Oracle stores full date+time objects,
that's what you'll get. Note that the generic types.Date
type *will* still call value.date() on incoming values,
however. When reflecting a table, the reflected type
will be 'DATE'.
- Added preliminary support for Oracle's WITH_UNICODE
mode. At the very least this establishes initial
support for cx_Oracle with Python 3. When WITH_UNICODE
mode is used in Python 2.xx, a large and scary warning
is emitted asking that the user seriously consider
the usage of this difficult mode of operation.
[ticket:1670]
- The except_() method now renders as MINUS on Oracle,
which is more or less equivalent on that platform.
[ticket:1712]
- Added support for rendering and reflecting
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, i.e. TIMESTAMP(timezone=True).
[ticket:651]
- Oracle INTERVAL type can now be reflected.
- sqlite
- Added "native_datetime=True" flag to create_engine().
This will cause the DATE and TIMESTAMP types to skip
all bind parameter and result row processing, under
the assumption that PARSE_DECLTYPES has been enabled
on the connection. Note that this is not entirely
compatible with the "func.current_date()", which
will be returned as a string. [ticket:1685]
- sybase
- Implemented a preliminary working dialect for Sybase,
with sub-implementations for Python-Sybase as well
as Pyodbc. Handles table
creates/drops and basic round trip functionality.
Does not yet include reflection or comprehensive
support of unicode/special expressions/etc.
- examples
- Changed the beaker cache example a bit to have a separate
RelationCache option for lazyload caching. This object
does a lookup among any number of potential attributes
more efficiently by grouping several into a common structure.
Both FromCache and RelationCache are simpler individually.
- documentation
- Major cleanup work in the docs to link class, function, and
method names into the API docs. [ticket:1700/1702/1703]
0.6beta1
========
- Major Release
- For the full set of feature descriptions, see
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/06Migration .
This document is a work in progress.
- All bug fixes and feature enhancements from the most
recent 0.5 version and below are also included within 0.6.
- Platforms targeted now include Python 2.4/2.5/2.6, Python
3.1, Jython2.5.
- orm
- Changes to query.update() and query.delete():
- the 'expire' option on query.update() has been renamed to
'fetch', thus matching that of query.delete().
'expire' is deprecated and issues a warning.
- query.update() and query.delete() both default to
'evaluate' for the synchronize strategy.
- the 'synchronize' strategy for update() and delete()
raises an error on failure. There is no implicit fallback
onto "fetch". Failure of evaluation is based on the
structure of criteria, so success/failure is deterministic
based on code structure.
- Enhancements on many-to-one relations:
- many-to-one relations now fire off a lazyload in fewer
cases, including in most cases will not fetch the "old"
value when a new one is replaced.
- many-to-one relation to a joined-table subclass now uses
get() for a simple load (known as the "use_get"
condition), i.e. Related->Sub(Base), without the need to
redefine the primaryjoin condition in terms of the base
table. [ticket:1186]
- specifying a foreign key with a declarative column, i.e.
ForeignKey(MyRelatedClass.id) doesn't break the "use_get"
condition from taking place [ticket:1492]
- relation(), eagerload(), and eagerload_all() now feature
an option called "innerjoin". Specify `True` or `False` to
control whether an eager join is constructed as an INNER
or OUTER join. Default is `False` as always. The mapper
options will override whichever setting is specified on
relation(). Should generally be set for many-to-one, not
nullable foreign key relations to allow improved join
performance. [ticket:1544]
- the behavior of eagerloading such that the main query is
wrapped in a subquery when LIMIT/OFFSET are present now
makes an exception for the case when all eager loads are
many-to-one joins. In those cases, the eager joins are
against the parent table directly along with the
limit/offset without the extra overhead of a subquery,
since a many-to-one join does not add rows to the result.
- Enhancements / Changes on Session.merge():
- the "dont_load=True" flag on Session.merge() is deprecated
and is now "load=False".
- Session.merge() is performance optimized, using half the
call counts for "load=False" mode compared to 0.5 and
significantly fewer SQL queries in the case of collections
for "load=True" mode.
- merge() will not issue a needless merge of attributes if the
given instance is the same instance which is already present.
- merge() now also merges the "options" associated with a given
state, i.e. those passed through query.options() which follow
along with an instance, such as options to eagerly- or
lazyily- load various attributes. This is essential for
the construction of highly integrated caching schemes. This
is a subtle behavioral change vs. 0.5.
- A bug was fixed regarding the serialization of the "loader
path" present on an instance's state, which is also necessary
when combining the usage of merge() with serialized state
and associated options that should be preserved.
- The all new merge() is showcased in a new comprehensive
example of how to integrate Beaker with SQLAlchemy. See
the notes in the "examples" note below.
- Primary key values can now be changed on a joined-table inheritance
object, and ON UPDATE CASCADE will be taken into account when
the flush happens. Set the new "passive_updates" flag to False
on mapper() when using SQLite or MySQL/MyISAM. [ticket:1362]
- flush() now detects when a primary key column was updated by
an ON UPDATE CASCADE operation from another primary key, and
can then locate the row for a subsequent UPDATE on the new PK
value. This occurs when a relation() is there to establish
the relationship as well as passive_updates=True. [ticket:1671]
- the "save-update" cascade will now cascade the pending *removed*
values from a scalar or collection attribute into the new session
during an add() operation. This so that the flush() operation
will also delete or modify rows of those disconnected items.
- Using a "dynamic" loader with a "secondary" table now produces
a query where the "secondary" table is *not* aliased. This
allows the secondary Table object to be used in the "order_by"
attribute of the relation(), and also allows it to be used
in filter criterion against the dynamic relation.
[ticket:1531]
- relation() with uselist=False will emit a warning when
an eager or lazy load locates more than one valid value for
the row. This may be due to primaryjoin/secondaryjoin
conditions which aren't appropriate for an eager LEFT OUTER
JOIN or for other conditions. [ticket:1643]
- an explicit check occurs when a synonym() is used with
map_column=True, when a ColumnProperty (deferred or otherwise)
exists separately in the properties dictionary sent to mapper
with the same keyname. Instead of silently replacing
the existing property (and possible options on that property),
an error is raised. [ticket:1633]
- a "dynamic" loader sets up its query criterion at construction
time so that the actual query is returned from non-cloning
accessors like "statement".
- the "named tuple" objects returned when iterating a
Query() are now pickleable.
- mapping to a select() construct now requires that you
make an alias() out of it distinctly. This to eliminate
confusion over such issues as [ticket:1542]
- query.join() has been reworked to provide more consistent
behavior and more flexibility (includes [ticket:1537])
- query.select_from() accepts multiple clauses to produce
multiple comma separated entries within the FROM clause.
Useful when selecting from multiple-homed join() clauses.
- query.select_from() also accepts mapped classes, aliased()
constructs, and mappers as arguments. In particular this
helps when querying from multiple joined-table classes to ensure
the full join gets rendered.
- query.get() can be used with a mapping to an outer join
where one or more of the primary key values are None.
[ticket:1135]
- query.from_self(), query.union(), others which do a
"SELECT * from (SELECT...)" type of nesting will do
a better job translating column expressions within the subquery
to the columns clause of the outer query. This is
potentially backwards incompatible with 0.5, in that this
may break queries with literal expressions that do not have labels
applied (i.e. literal('foo'), etc.)
[ticket:1568]
- relation primaryjoin and secondaryjoin now check that they
are column-expressions, not just clause elements. this prohibits
things like FROM expressions being placed there directly.
[ticket:1622]
- `expression.null()` is fully understood the same way
None is when comparing an object/collection-referencing
attribute within query.filter(), filter_by(), etc.
[ticket:1415]
- added "make_transient()" helper function which transforms a
persistent/ detached instance into a transient one (i.e.
deletes the instance_key and removes from any session.)
[ticket:1052]
- the allow_null_pks flag on mapper() is deprecated, and
the feature is turned "on" by default. This means that
a row which has a non-null value for any of its primary key
columns will be considered an identity. The need for this
scenario typically only occurs when mapping to an outer join.
[ticket:1339]
- the mechanics of "backref" have been fully merged into the
finer grained "back_populates" system, and take place entirely
within the _generate_backref() method of RelationProperty. This
makes the initialization procedure of RelationProperty
simpler and allows easier propagation of settings (such as from
subclasses of RelationProperty) into the reverse reference.
The internal BackRef() is gone and backref() returns a plain
tuple that is understood by RelationProperty.
- The version_id_col feature on mapper() will raise a warning when
used with dialects that don't support "rowcount" adequately.
[ticket:1569]
- added "execution_options()" to Query, to so options can be
passed to the resulting statement. Currently only
Select-statements have these options, and the only option
used is "stream_results", and the only dialect which knows
"stream_results" is psycopg2.
- Query.yield_per() will set the "stream_results" statement
option automatically.
- Deprecated or removed:
* 'allow_null_pks' flag on mapper() is deprecated. It does
nothing now and the setting is "on" in all cases.
* 'transactional' flag on sessionmaker() and others is
removed. Use 'autocommit=True' to indicate 'transactional=False'.
* 'polymorphic_fetch' argument on mapper() is removed.
Loading can be controlled using the 'with_polymorphic'
option.
* 'select_table' argument on mapper() is removed. Use
'with_polymorphic=("*", <some selectable>)' for this
functionality.
* 'proxy' argument on synonym() is removed. This flag
did nothing throughout 0.5, as the "proxy generation"
behavior is now automatic.
* Passing a single list of elements to eagerload(),
eagerload_all(), contains_eager(), lazyload(),
defer(), and undefer() instead of multiple positional
*args is deprecated.
* Passing a single list of elements to query.order_by(),
query.group_by(), query.join(), or query.outerjoin()
instead of multiple positional *args is deprecated.
* query.iterate_instances() is removed. Use query.instances().
* Query.query_from_parent() is removed. Use the
sqlalchemy.orm.with_parent() function to produce a
"parent" clause, or alternatively query.with_parent().
* query._from_self() is removed, use query.from_self()
instead.
* the "comparator" argument to composite() is removed.
Use "comparator_factory".
* RelationProperty._get_join() is removed.
* the 'echo_uow' flag on Session is removed. Use
logging on the "sqlalchemy.orm.unitofwork" name.
* session.clear() is removed. use session.expunge_all().
* session.save(), session.update(), session.save_or_update()
are removed. Use session.add() and session.add_all().
* the "objects" flag on session.flush() remains deprecated.
* the "dont_load=True" flag on session.merge() is deprecated
in favor of "load=False".
* ScopedSession.mapper remains deprecated. See the
usage recipe at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/SessionAwareMapper
* passing an InstanceState (internal SQLAlchemy state object) to
attributes.init_collection() or attributes.get_history() is
deprecated. These functions are public API and normally
expect a regular mapped object instance.
* the 'engine' parameter to declarative_base() is removed.
Use the 'bind' keyword argument.
- sql
- the "autocommit" flag on select() and text() as well
as select().autocommit() are deprecated - now call
.execution_options(autocommit=True) on either of those
constructs, also available directly on Connection and orm.Query.
- the autoincrement flag on column now indicates the column
which should be linked to cursor.lastrowid, if that method
is used. See the API docs for details.
- an executemany() now requires that all bound parameter
sets require that all keys are present which are
present in the first bound parameter set. The structure
and behavior of an insert/update statement is very much
determined by the first parameter set, including which
defaults are going to fire off, and a minimum of
guesswork is performed with all the rest so that performance
is not impacted. For this reason defaults would otherwise
silently "fail" for missing parameters, so this is now guarded
against. [ticket:1566]
- returning() support is native to insert(), update(),
delete(). Implementations of varying levels of
functionality exist for Postgresql, Firebird, MSSQL and
Oracle. returning() can be called explicitly with column
expressions which are then returned in the resultset,
usually via fetchone() or first().
insert() constructs will also use RETURNING implicitly to
get newly generated primary key values, if the database
version in use supports it (a version number check is
performed). This occurs if no end-user returning() was
specified.
- union(), intersect(), except() and other "compound" types
of statements have more consistent behavior w.r.t.
parenthesizing. Each compound element embedded within
another will now be grouped with parenthesis - previously,
the first compound element in the list would not be grouped,
as SQLite doesn't like a statement to start with
parenthesis. However, Postgresql in particular has
precedence rules regarding INTERSECT, and it is
more consistent for parenthesis to be applied equally
to all sub-elements. So now, the workaround for SQLite
is also what the workaround for PG was previously -
when nesting compound elements, the first one usually needs
".alias().select()" called on it to wrap it inside
of a subquery. [ticket:1665]
- insert() and update() constructs can now embed bindparam()
objects using names that match the keys of columns. These
bind parameters will circumvent the usual route to those
keys showing up in the VALUES or SET clause of the generated
SQL. [ticket:1579]
- the Binary type now returns data as a Python string
(or a "bytes" type in Python 3), instead of the built-
in "buffer" type. This allows symmetric round trips
of binary data. [ticket:1524]
- Added a tuple_() construct, allows sets of expressions
to be compared to another set, typically with IN against
composite primary keys or similar. Also accepts an
IN with multiple columns. The "scalar select can
have only one column" error message is removed - will
rely upon the database to report problems with
col mismatch.
- User-defined "default" and "onupdate" callables which
accept a context should now call upon
"context.current_parameters" to get at the dictionary
of bind parameters currently being processed. This
dict is available in the same way regardless of
single-execute or executemany-style statement execution.
- multi-part schema names, i.e. with dots such as
"dbo.master", are now rendered in select() labels
with underscores for dots, i.e. "dbo_master_table_column".
This is a "friendly" label that behaves better
in result sets. [ticket:1428]
- removed needless "counter" behavior with select()
labelnames that match a column name in the table,
i.e. generates "tablename_id" for "id", instead of
"tablename_id_1" in an attempt to avoid naming
conflicts, when the table has a column actually
named "tablename_id" - this is because
the labeling logic is always applied to all columns
so a naming conflict will never occur.
- calling expr.in_([]), i.e. with an empty list, emits a warning
before issuing the usual "expr != expr" clause. The
"expr != expr" can be very expensive, and it's preferred
that the user not issue in_() if the list is empty,
instead simply not querying, or modifying the criterion
as appropriate for more complex situations.
[ticket:1628]
- Added "execution_options()" to select()/text(), which set the
default options for the Connection. See the note in "engines".
- Deprecated or removed:
* "scalar" flag on select() is removed, use
select.as_scalar().
* "shortname" attribute on bindparam() is removed.
* postgres_returning, firebird_returning flags on
insert(), update(), delete() are deprecated, use
the new returning() method.
* fold_equivalents flag on join is deprecated (will remain
until [ticket:1131] is implemented)
- engines
- transaction isolation level may be specified with
create_engine(... isolation_level="..."); available on
postgresql and sqlite. [ticket:443]
- Connection has execution_options(), generative method
which accepts keywords that affect how the statement
is executed w.r.t. the DBAPI. Currently supports
"stream_results", causes psycopg2 to use a server
side cursor for that statement, as well as
"autocommit", which is the new location for the "autocommit"
option from select() and text(). select() and
text() also have .execution_options() as well as
ORM Query().
- fixed the import for entrypoint-driven dialects to
not rely upon silly tb_info trick to determine import
error status. [ticket:1630]
- added first() method to ResultProxy, returns first row and
closes result set immediately.
- RowProxy objects are now pickleable, i.e. the object returned
by result.fetchone(), result.fetchall() etc.
- RowProxy no longer has a close() method, as the row no longer
maintains a reference to the parent. Call close() on
the parent ResultProxy instead, or use autoclose.
- ResultProxy internals have been overhauled to greatly reduce
method call counts when fetching columns. Can provide a large
speed improvement (up to more than 100%) when fetching large
result sets. The improvement is larger when fetching columns
that have no type-level processing applied and when using
results as tuples (instead of as dictionaries). Many
thanks to Elixir's Gaëtan de Menten for this dramatic
improvement ! [ticket:1586]
- Databases which rely upon postfetch of "last inserted id"
to get at a generated sequence value (i.e. MySQL, MS-SQL)
now work correctly when there is a composite primary key
where the "autoincrement" column is not the first primary
key column in the table.
- the last_inserted_ids() method has been renamed to the
descriptor "inserted_primary_key".
- setting echo=False on create_engine() now sets the loglevel
to WARN instead of NOTSET. This so that logging can be
disabled for a particular engine even if logging
for "sqlalchemy.engine" is enabled overall. Note that the
default setting of "echo" is `None`. [ticket:1554]
- ConnectionProxy now has wrapper methods for all transaction
lifecycle events, including begin(), rollback(), commit()
begin_nested(), begin_prepared(), prepare(), release_savepoint(),
etc.
- Connection pool logging now uses both INFO and DEBUG
log levels for logging. INFO is for major events such
as invalidated connections, DEBUG for all the acquire/return
logging. `echo_pool` can be False, None, True or "debug"
the same way as `echo` works.
- All pyodbc-dialects now support extra pyodbc-specific
kw arguments 'ansi', 'unicode_results', 'autocommit'.
[ticket:1621]
- the "threadlocal" engine has been rewritten and simplified
and now supports SAVEPOINT operations.
- deprecated or removed
* result.last_inserted_ids() is deprecated. Use
result.inserted_primary_key
* dialect.get_default_schema_name(connection) is now
public via dialect.default_schema_name.
* the "connection" argument from engine.transaction() and
engine.run_callable() is removed - Connection itself
now has those methods. All four methods accept
*args and **kwargs which are passed to the given callable,
as well as the operating connection.
- schema
- the `__contains__()` method of `MetaData` now accepts
strings or `Table` objects as arguments. If given
a `Table`, the argument is converted to `table.key` first,
i.e. "[schemaname.]<tablename>" [ticket:1541]
- deprecated MetaData.connect() and
ThreadLocalMetaData.connect() have been removed - send
the "bind" attribute to bind a metadata.
- deprecated metadata.table_iterator() method removed (use
sorted_tables)
- deprecated PassiveDefault - use DefaultClause.
- the "metadata" argument is removed from DefaultGenerator
and subclasses, but remains locally present on Sequence,
which is a standalone construct in DDL.
- Removed public mutability from Index and Constraint
objects:
- ForeignKeyConstraint.append_element()
- Index.append_column()
- UniqueConstraint.append_column()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.add()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.remove()
These should be constructed declaratively (i.e. in one
construction).
- The "start" and "increment" attributes on Sequence now
generate "START WITH" and "INCREMENT BY" by default,
on Oracle and Postgresql. Firebird doesn't support
these keywords right now. [ticket:1545]
- UniqueConstraint, Index, PrimaryKeyConstraint all accept
lists of column names or column objects as arguments.
- Other removed things:
- Table.key (no idea what this was for)
- Table.primary_key is not assignable - use
table.append_constraint(PrimaryKeyConstraint(...))
- Column.bind (get via column.table.bind)
- Column.metadata (get via column.table.metadata)
- Column.sequence (use column.default)
- ForeignKey(constraint=some_parent) (is now private _constraint)
- The use_alter flag on ForeignKey is now a shortcut option
for operations that can be hand-constructed using the
DDL() event system. A side effect of this refactor is
that ForeignKeyConstraint objects with use_alter=True
will *not* be emitted on SQLite, which does not support
ALTER for foreign keys.
- ForeignKey and ForeignKeyConstraint objects now correctly
copy() all their public keyword arguments. [ticket:1605]
- Reflection/Inspection
- Table reflection has been expanded and generalized into
a new API called "sqlalchemy.engine.reflection.Inspector".
The Inspector object provides fine-grained information about
a wide variety of schema information, with room for expansion,
including table names, column names, view definitions, sequences,
indexes, etc.
- Views are now reflectable as ordinary Table objects. The same
Table constructor is used, with the caveat that "effective"
primary and foreign key constraints aren't part of the reflection
results; these have to be specified explicitly if desired.
- The existing autoload=True system now uses Inspector underneath
so that each dialect need only return "raw" data about tables
and other objects - Inspector is the single place that information
is compiled into Table objects so that consistency is at a maximum.
- DDL
- the DDL system has been greatly expanded. the DDL() class
now extends the more generic DDLElement(), which forms the basis
of many new constructs:
- CreateTable()
- DropTable()
- AddConstraint()
- DropConstraint()
- CreateIndex()
- DropIndex()
- CreateSequence()
- DropSequence()
These support "on" and "execute-at()" just like plain DDL()
does. User-defined DDLElement subclasses can be created and
linked to a compiler using the sqlalchemy.ext.compiler extension.
- The signature of the "on" callable passed to DDL() and
DDLElement() is revised as follows:
"ddl" - the DDLElement object itself.
"event" - the string event name.
"target" - previously "schema_item", the Table or
MetaData object triggering the event.
"connection" - the Connection object in use for the operation.
**kw - keyword arguments. In the case of MetaData before/after
create/drop, the list of Table objects for which
CREATE/DROP DDL is to be issued is passed as the kw
argument "tables". This is necessary for metadata-level
DDL that is dependent on the presence of specific tables.
- the "schema_item" attribute of DDL has been renamed to
"target".
- dialect refactor
- Dialect modules are now broken into database dialects
plus DBAPI implementations. Connect URLs are now
preferred to be specified using dialect+driver://...,
i.e. "mysql+mysqldb://scott:tiger@localhost/test". See
the 0.6 documentation for examples.
- the setuptools entrypoint for external dialects is now
called "sqlalchemy.dialects".
- the "owner" keyword argument is removed from Table. Use
"schema" to represent any namespaces to be prepended to
the table name.
- server_version_info becomes a static attribute.
- dialects receive an initialize() event on initial
connection to determine connection properties.
- dialects receive a visit_pool event have an opportunity
to establish pool listeners.
- cached TypeEngine classes are cached per-dialect class
instead of per-dialect.
- new UserDefinedType should be used as a base class for
new types, which preserves the 0.5 behavior of
get_col_spec().
- The result_processor() method of all type classes now
accepts a second argument "coltype", which is the DBAPI
type argument from cursor.description. This argument
can help some types decide on the most efficient processing
of result values.
- Deprecated Dialect.get_params() removed.
- Dialect.get_rowcount() has been renamed to a descriptor
"rowcount", and calls cursor.rowcount directly. Dialects
which need to hardwire a rowcount in for certain calls
should override the method to provide different behavior.
- DefaultRunner and subclasses have been removed. The job
of this object has been simplified and moved into
ExecutionContext. Dialects which support sequences should
add a `fire_sequence()` method to their execution context
implementation. [ticket:1566]
- Functions and operators generated by the compiler now use
(almost) regular dispatch functions of the form
"visit_<opname>" and "visit_<funcname>_fn" to provide
customed processing. This replaces the need to copy the
"functions" and "operators" dictionaries in compiler
subclasses with straightforward visitor methods, and also
allows compiler subclasses complete control over
rendering, as the full _Function or _BinaryExpression
object is passed in.
- postgresql
- New dialects: pg8000, zxjdbc, and pypostgresql
on py3k.
- The "postgres" dialect is now named "postgresql" !
Connection strings look like:
postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test
postgresql+pg8000://scott:tiger@localhost/test
The "postgres" name remains for backwards compatiblity
in the following ways:
- There is a "postgres.py" dummy dialect which
allows old URLs to work, i.e.
postgres://scott:tiger@localhost/test
- The "postgres" name can be imported from the old
"databases" module, i.e. "from
sqlalchemy.databases import postgres" as well as
"dialects", "from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgres
import base as pg", will send a deprecation
warning.
- Special expression arguments are now named
"postgresql_returning" and "postgresql_where", but
the older "postgres_returning" and
"postgres_where" names still work with a
deprecation warning.
- "postgresql_where" now accepts SQL expressions which
can also include literals, which will be quoted as needed.
- The psycopg2 dialect now uses psycopg2's "unicode extension"
on all new connections, which allows all String/Text/etc.
types to skip the need to post-process bytestrings into
unicode (an expensive step due to its volume). Other
dialects which return unicode natively (pg8000, zxjdbc)
also skip unicode post-processing.
- Added new ENUM type, which exists as a schema-level
construct and extends the generic Enum type. Automatically
associates itself with tables and their parent metadata
to issue the appropriate CREATE TYPE/DROP TYPE
commands as needed, supports unicode labels, supports
reflection. [ticket:1511]
- INTERVAL supports an optional "precision" argument
corresponding to the argument that PG accepts.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
psycopg2 can't handle a bind parameter name of
%(foobar)s however and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead
just to treat that one non-existent use case.
[ticket:1279]
- Inserting NULL into a primary key + foreign key column
will allow the "not null constraint" error to raise,
not an attempt to execute a nonexistent "col_id_seq"
sequence. [ticket:1516]
- autoincrement SELECT statements, i.e. those which
select from a procedure that modifies rows, now work
with server-side cursor mode (the named cursor isn't
used for such statements.)
- postgresql dialect can properly detect pg "devel" version
strings, i.e. "8.5devel" [ticket:1636]
- The psycopg2 now respects the statement option
"stream_results". This option overrides the connection setting
"server_side_cursors". If true, server side cursors will be
used for the statement. If false, they will not be used, even
if "server_side_cursors" is true on the
connection. [ticket:1619]
- mysql
- New dialects: oursql, a new native dialect,
MySQL Connector/Python, a native Python port of MySQLdb,
and of course zxjdbc on Jython.
- VARCHAR/NVARCHAR will not render without a length, raises
an error before passing to MySQL. Doesn't impact
CAST since VARCHAR is not allowed in MySQL CAST anyway,
the dialect renders CHAR/NCHAR in those cases.
- all the _detect_XXX() functions now run once underneath
dialect.initialize()
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
MySQLdb can't handle % signs in SQL when executemany() is used,
and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead just to treat that one
non-existent use case. [ticket:1279]
- the BINARY and MSBinary types now generate "BINARY" in all
cases. Omitting the "length" parameter will generate
"BINARY" with no length. Use BLOB to generate an unlengthed
binary column.
- the "quoting='quoted'" argument to MSEnum/ENUM is deprecated.
It's best to rely upon the automatic quoting.
- ENUM now subclasses the new generic Enum type, and also handles
unicode values implicitly, if the given labelnames are unicode
objects.
- a column of type TIMESTAMP now defaults to NULL if
"nullable=False" is not passed to Column(), and no default
is present. This is now consistent with all other types,
and in the case of TIMESTAMP explictly renders "NULL"
due to MySQL's "switching" of default nullability
for TIMESTAMP columns. [ticket:1539]
- oracle
- unit tests pass 100% with cx_oracle !
- support for cx_Oracle's "native unicode" mode which does
not require NLS_LANG to be set. Use the latest 5.0.2 or
later of cx_oracle.
- an NCLOB type is added to the base types.
- use_ansi=False won't leak into the FROM/WHERE clause of
a statement that's selecting from a subquery that also
uses JOIN/OUTERJOIN.
- added native INTERVAL type to the dialect. This supports
only the DAY TO SECOND interval type so far due to lack
of support in cx_oracle for YEAR TO MONTH. [ticket:1467]
- usage of the CHAR type results in cx_oracle's
FIXED_CHAR dbapi type being bound to statements.
- the Oracle dialect now features NUMBER which intends
to act justlike Oracle's NUMBER type. It is the primary
numeric type returned by table reflection and attempts
to return Decimal()/float/int based on the precision/scale
parameters. [ticket:885]
- func.char_length is a generic function for LENGTH
- ForeignKey() which includes onupdate=<value> will emit a
warning, not emit ON UPDATE CASCADE which is unsupported
by oracle
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- using types.BigInteger with Oracle will generate
NUMBER(19) [ticket:1125]
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- firebird
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- mssql
- MSSQL + Pyodbc + FreeTDS now works for the most part,
with possible exceptions regarding binary data as well as
unicode schema identifiers.
- the "has_window_funcs" flag is removed. LIMIT/OFFSET
usage will use ROW NUMBER as always, and if on an older
version of SQL Server, the operation fails. The behavior
is exactly the same except the error is raised by SQL
server instead of the dialect, and no flag setting is
required to enable it.
- the "auto_identity_insert" flag is removed. This feature
always takes effect when an INSERT statement overrides a
column that is known to have a sequence on it. As with
"has_window_funcs", if the underlying driver doesn't
support this, then you can't do this operation in any
case, so there's no point in having a flag.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- removed references to sequence which is no longer used.
implicit identities in mssql work the same as implicit
sequences on any other dialects. Explicit sequences are
enabled through the use of "default=Sequence()". See
the MSSQL dialect documentation for more information.
- sqlite
- DATE, TIME and DATETIME types can now take optional storage_format
and regexp argument. storage_format can be used to store those types
using a custom string format. regexp allows to use a custom regular
expression to match string values from the database.
- Time and DateTime types now use by a default a stricter regular
expression to match strings from the database. Use the regexp
argument if you are using data stored in a legacy format.
- __legacy_microseconds__ on SQLite Time and DateTime types is not
supported anymore. You should use the storage_format argument
instead.
- Date, Time and DateTime types are now stricter in what they accept as
bind parameters: Date type only accepts date objects (and datetime
ones, because they inherit from date), Time only accepts time
objects, and DateTime only accepts date and datetime objects.
- Table() supports a keyword argument "sqlite_autoincrement", which
applies the SQLite keyword "AUTOINCREMENT" to the single integer
primary key column when generating DDL. Will prevent generation of
a separate PRIMARY KEY constraint. [ticket:1016]
- new dialects
- postgresql+pg8000
- postgresql+pypostgresql (partial)
- postgresql+zxjdbc
- mysql+pyodbc
- mysql+zxjdbc
- types
- The construction of types within dialects has been totally
overhauled. Dialects now define publically available types
as UPPERCASE names exclusively, and internal implementation
types using underscore identifiers (i.e. are private).
The system by which types are expressed in SQL and DDL
has been moved to the compiler system. This has the
effect that there are much fewer type objects within
most dialects. A detailed document on this architecture
for dialect authors is in
lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/type_migration_guidelines.txt .
- Types no longer make any guesses as to default
parameters. In particular, Numeric, Float, NUMERIC,
FLOAT, DECIMAL don't generate any length or scale unless
specified.
- types.Binary is renamed to types.LargeBinary, it only
produces BLOB, BYTEA, or a similar "long binary" type.
New base BINARY and VARBINARY
types have been added to access these MySQL/MS-SQL specific
types in an agnostic way [ticket:1664].
- String/Text/Unicode types now skip the unicode() check
on each result column value if the dialect has
detected the DBAPI as returning Python unicode objects
natively. This check is issued on first connect
using "SELECT CAST 'some text' AS VARCHAR(10)" or
equivalent, then checking if the returned object
is a Python unicode. This allows vast performance
increases for native-unicode DBAPIs, including
pysqlite/sqlite3, psycopg2, and pg8000.
- Most types result processors have been checked for possible speed
improvements. Specifically, the following generic types have been
optimized, resulting in varying speed improvements:
Unicode, PickleType, Interval, TypeDecorator, Binary.
Also the following dbapi-specific implementations have been improved:
Time, Date and DateTime on Sqlite, ARRAY on Postgresql,
Time on MySQL, Numeric(as_decimal=False) on MySQL, oursql and
pypostgresql, DateTime on cx_oracle and LOB-based types on cx_oracle.
- Reflection of types now returns the exact UPPERCASE
type within types.py, or the UPPERCASE type within
the dialect itself if the type is not a standard SQL
type. This means reflection now returns more accurate
information about reflected types.
- Added a new Enum generic type. Enum is a schema-aware object
to support databases which require specific DDL in order to
use enum or equivalent; in the case of PG it handles the
details of `CREATE TYPE`, and on other databases without
native enum support will by generate VARCHAR + an inline CHECK
constraint to enforce the enum.
[ticket:1109] [ticket:1511]
- The Interval type includes a "native" flag which controls
if native INTERVAL types (postgresql + oracle) are selected
if available, or not. "day_precision" and "second_precision"
arguments are also added which propagate as appropriately
to these native types. Related to [ticket:1467].
- The Boolean type, when used on a backend that doesn't
have native boolean support, will generate a CHECK
constraint "col IN (0, 1)" along with the int/smallint-
based column type. This can be switched off if
desired with create_constraint=False.
Note that MySQL has no native boolean *or* CHECK constraint
support so this feature isn't available on that platform.
[ticket:1589]
- PickleType now uses == for comparison of values when
mutable=True, unless the "comparator" argument with a
comparsion function is specified to the type. Objects
being pickled will be compared based on identity (which
defeats the purpose of mutable=True) if __eq__() is not
overridden or a comparison function is not provided.
- The default "precision" and "scale" arguments of Numeric
and Float have been removed and now default to None.
NUMERIC and FLOAT will be rendered with no numeric
arguments by default unless these values are provided.
- AbstractType.get_search_list() is removed - the games
that was used for are no longer necessary.
- Added a generic BigInteger type, compiles to
BIGINT or NUMBER(19). [ticket:1125]
-ext
- sqlsoup has been overhauled to explicitly support an 0.5 style
session, using autocommit=False, autoflush=True. Default
behavior of SQLSoup now requires the usual usage of commit()
and rollback(), which have been added to its interface. An
explcit Session or scoped_session can be passed to the
constructor, allowing these arguments to be overridden.
- sqlsoup db.<sometable>.update() and delete() now call
query(cls).update() and delete(), respectively.
- sqlsoup now has execute() and connection(), which call upon
the Session methods of those names, ensuring that the bind is
in terms of the SqlSoup object's bind.
- sqlsoup objects no longer have the 'query' attribute - it's
not needed for sqlsoup's usage paradigm and it gets in the
way of a column that is actually named 'query'.
- The signature of the proxy_factory callable passed to
association_proxy is now (lazy_collection, creator,
value_attr, association_proxy), adding a fourth argument
that is the parent AssociationProxy argument. Allows
serializability and subclassing of the built in collections.
[ticket:1259]
- association_proxy now has basic comparator methods .any(),
.has(), .contains(), ==, !=, thanks to Scott Torborg.
[ticket:1372]
- examples
- The "query_cache" examples have been removed, and are replaced
with a fully comprehensive approach that combines the usage of
Beaker with SQLAlchemy. New query options are used to indicate
the caching characteristics of a particular Query, which
can also be invoked deep within an object graph when lazily
loading related objects. See /examples/beaker_caching/README.
0.5.9
=====
- sql
- Fixed erroneous self_group() call in expression package.
[ticket:1661]
0.5.8
=====
- sql
- The copy() method on Column now supports uninitialized,
unnamed Column objects. This allows easy creation of
declarative helpers which place common columns on multiple
subclasses.
- Default generators like Sequence() translate correctly
across a copy() operation.
- Sequence() and other DefaultGenerator objects are accepted
as the value for the "default" and "onupdate" keyword
arguments of Column, in addition to being accepted
positionally.
- Fixed a column arithmetic bug that affected column
correspondence for cloned selectables which contain
free-standing column expressions. This bug is
generally only noticeable when exercising newer
ORM behavior only availble in 0.6 via [ticket:1568],
but is more correct at the SQL expression level
as well. [ticket:1617]
- postgresql
- The extract() function, which was slightly improved in
0.5.7, needed a lot more work to generate the correct
typecast (the typecasts appear to be necessary in PG's
EXTRACT quite a lot of the time). The typecast is
now generated using a rule dictionary based
on PG's documentation for date/time/interval arithmetic.
It also accepts text() constructs again, which was broken
in 0.5.7. [ticket:1647]
- firebird
- Recognize more errors as disconnections. [ticket:1646]
0.5.7
=====
- orm
- contains_eager() now works with the automatically
generated subquery that results when you say
"query(Parent).join(Parent.somejoinedsubclass)", i.e.
when Parent joins to a joined-table-inheritance subclass.
Previously contains_eager() would erroneously add the
subclass table to the query separately producing a
cartesian product. An example is in the ticket
description. [ticket:1543]
- query.options() now only propagate to loaded objects
for potential further sub-loads only for options where
such behavior is relevant, keeping
various unserializable options like those generated
by contains_eager() out of individual instance states.
[ticket:1553]
- Session.execute() now locates table- and
mapper-specific binds based on a passed
in expression which is an insert()/update()/delete()
construct. [ticket:1054]
- Session.merge() now properly overwrites a many-to-one or
uselist=False attribute to None if the attribute
is also None in the given object to be merged.
- Fixed a needless select which would occur when merging
transient objects that contained a null primary key
identifier. [ticket:1618]
- Mutable collection passed to the "extension" attribute
of relation(), column_property() etc. will not be mutated
or shared among multiple instrumentation calls, preventing
duplicate extensions, such as backref populators,
from being inserted into the list.
[ticket:1585]
- Fixed the call to get_committed_value() on CompositeProperty.
[ticket:1504]
- Fixed bug where Query would crash if a join() with no clear
"left" side were called when a non-mapped column entity
appeared in the columns list. [ticket:1602]
- Fixed bug whereby composite columns wouldn't load properly
when configured on a joined-table subclass, introduced in
version 0.5.6 as a result of the fix for [ticket:1480].
[ticket:1616] thx to Scott Torborg.
- The "use get" behavior of many-to-one relations, i.e. that a
lazy load will fallback to the possibly cached query.get()
value, now works across join conditions where the two compared
types are not exactly the same class, but share the same
"affinity" - i.e. Integer and SmallInteger. Also allows
combinations of reflected and non-reflected types to work
with 0.5 style type reflection, such as PGText/Text (note 0.6
reflects types as their generic versions). [ticket:1556]
- Fixed bug in query.update() when passing Cls.attribute
as keys in the value dict and using synchronize_session='expire'
('fetch' in 0.6). [ticket:1436]
- sql
- Fixed bug in two-phase transaction whereby commit() method
didn't set the full state which allows subsequent close()
call to succeed. [ticket:1603]
- Fixed the "numeric" paramstyle, which apparently is the
default paramstyle used by Informixdb.
- Repeat expressions in the columns clause of a select
are deduped based on the identity of each clause element,
not the actual string. This allows positional
elements to render correctly even if they all render
identically, such as "qmark" style bind parameters.
[ticket:1574]
- The cursor associated with connection pool connections
(i.e. _CursorFairy) now proxies `__iter__()` to the
underlying cursor correctly. [ticket:1632]
- types now support an "affinity comparison" operation, i.e.
that an Integer/SmallInteger are "compatible", or
a Text/String, PickleType/Binary, etc. Part of
[ticket:1556].
- Fixed bug preventing alias() of an alias() from being
cloned or adapted (occurs frequently in ORM operations).
[ticket:1641]
- sqlite
- sqlite dialect properly generates CREATE INDEX for a table
that is in an alternate schema. [ticket:1439]
- postgresql
- Added support for reflecting the DOUBLE PRECISION type,
via a new postgres.PGDoublePrecision object.
This is postgresql.DOUBLE_PRECISION in 0.6.
[ticket:1085]
- Added support for reflecting the INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND syntaxes of the INTERVAL
type. [ticket:460]
- Corrected the "has_sequence" query to take current schema,
or explicit sequence-stated schema, into account.
[ticket:1576]
- Fixed the behavior of extract() to apply operator
precedence rules to the "::" operator when applying
the "timestamp" cast - ensures proper parenthesization.
[ticket:1611]
- mssql
- Changed the name of TrustedConnection to
Trusted_Connection when constructing pyodbc connect
arguments [ticket:1561]
- oracle
- The "table_names" dialect function, used by MetaData
.reflect(), omits "index overflow tables", a system
table generated by Oracle when "index only tables"
with overflow are used. These tables aren't accessible
via SQL and can't be reflected. [ticket:1637]
- ext
- A column can be added to a joined-table declarative
superclass after the class has been constructed
(i.e. via class-level attribute assignment), and
the column will be propagated down to
subclasses. [ticket:1570] This is the reverse
situation as that of [ticket:1523], fixed in 0.5.6.
- Fixed a slight inaccuracy in the sharding example.
Comparing equivalence of columns in the ORM is best
accomplished using col1.shares_lineage(col2).
[ticket:1491]
- Removed unused `load()` method from ShardedQuery.
[ticket:1606]

py-sqlalchemy: updated to 1.3.16
1.3.16
orm
[orm] [bug]
Fixed bug in orm.selectinload() loading option where two or more loaders that represent different relationships with the same string key name as referenced from a single orm.with_polymorphic() construct with multiple subclass mappers would fail to invoke each subqueryload separately, instead making use of a single string-based slot that would prevent the other loaders from being invoked.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed issue where a lazyload that uses session-local “get” against a target many-to-one relationship where an object with the correct primary key is present, however it’s an instance of a sibling class, does not correctly return None as is the case when the lazy loader actually emits a load for that row.
[orm] [performance]
Modified the queries used by subqueryload and selectinload to no longer ORDER BY the primary key of the parent entity; this ordering was there to allow the rows as they come in to be copied into lists directly with a minimal level of Python-side collation. However, these ORDER BY clauses can negatively impact the performance of the query as in many scenarios these columns are derived from a subquery or are otherwise not actual primary key columns such that SQL planners cannot make use of indexes. The Python-side collation uses the native itertools.group_by() to collate the incoming rows, and has been modified to allow multiple row-groups-per-parent to be assembled together using list.extend(), which should still allow for relatively fast Python-side performance. There will still be an ORDER BY present for a relationship that includes an explicit order_by parameter, however this is the only ORDER BY that will be added to the query for both kinds of loading.
orm declarative
[bug] [declarative] [orm]
The string argument accepted as the first positional argument by the relationship() function when using the Declarative API is no longer interpreted using the Python eval() function; instead, the name is dot separated and the names are looked up directly in the name resolution dictionary without treating the value as a Python expression. However, passing a string argument to the other relationship() parameters that necessarily must accept Python expressions will still use eval(); the documentation has been clarified to ensure that there is no ambiguity that this is in use.

Evaluation of relationship arguments - details on string evaluation
sql
[sql] [types]
Add ability to literal compile a DateTime, Date or :class:”Time” when using the string dialect for debugging purposes. This change does not impact real dialect implementation that retain their current behavior.
schema
[schema] [reflection]
Added support for reflection of “computed” columns, which are now returned as part of the structure returned by Inspector.get_columns(). When reflecting full Table objects, computed columns will be represented using the Computed construct.
postgresql
[postgresql] [bug]
Fixed issue where a “covering” index, e.g. those which have an INCLUDE clause, would be reflected including all the columns in INCLUDE clause as regular columns. A warning is now emitted if these additional columns are detected indicating that they are currently ignored. Note that full support for “covering” indexes is part of 4458. Pull request courtesy Marat Sharafutdinov.
mysql
[mysql] [bug]
Fixed issue in MySQL dialect when connecting to a psuedo-MySQL database such as that provided by ProxySQL, the up front check for isolation level when it returns no row will not prevent the dialect from continuing to connect. A warning is emitted that the isolation level could not be detected.
sqlite
[sqlite] [usecase]
Implemented AUTOCOMMIT isolation level for SQLite when using pysqlite.
mssql
[mssql] [usecase] [mysql] [oracle]
Added support for ColumnOperators.is_distinct_from() and ColumnOperators.isnot_distinct_from() to SQL Server, MySQL, and Oracle.
oracle
[oracle] [usecase]
Implemented AUTOCOMMIT isolation level for Oracle when using cx_Oracle. Also added a fixed default isolation level of READ COMMITTED for Oracle.
[oracle] [bug] [reflection]
Fixed regression / incorrect fix caused by fix for 5146 where the Oracle dialect reads from the “all_tab_comments” view to get table comments but fails to accommodate for the current owner of the table being requested, causing it to read the wrong comment if multiple tables of the same name exist in multiple schemas.
misc
[bug] [tests]
Fixed an issue that prevented the test suite from running with the recently released py.test 5.4.0.
[enum] [types]
The Enum type now supports the parameter Enum.length to specify the length of the VARCHAR column to create when using non native enums by setting Enum.native_enum to False
[installer]
Ensured that the “pyproject.toml” file is not included in builds, as the presence of this file indicates to pip that a pep-517 installation process should be used. As this mode of operation appears to be not well supported by current tools / distros, these problems are avoided within the scope of SQLAlchemy installation by omitting the file.
1.3.15
orm
[orm] [bug]
Adjusted the error message emitted by Query.join() when a left hand side can’t be located that the Query.select_from() method is the best way to resolve the issue. Also, within the 1.3 series, used a deterministic ordering when determining the FROM clause from a given column entity passed to Query so that the same expression is determined each time.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed regression in 1.3.14 due to 4849 where a sys.exc_info() call failed to be invoked correctly when a flush error would occur. Test coverage has been added for this exception case.
1.3.14
general
[general] [bug] [py3k]
Applied an explicit “cause” to most if not all internally raised exceptions that are raised from within an internal exception catch, to avoid misleading stacktraces that suggest an error within the handling of an exception. While it would be preferable to suppress the internally caught exception in the way that the __suppress_context__ attribute would, there does not as yet seem to be a way to do this without suppressing an enclosing user constructed context, so for now it exposes the internally caught exception as the cause so that full information about the context of the error is maintained.
orm
[orm] [usecase]
Added a new flag InstanceEvents.restore_load_context and SessionEvents.restore_load_context which apply to the InstanceEvents.load(), InstanceEvents.refresh(), and SessionEvents.loaded_as_persistent() events, which when set will restore the “load context” of the object after the event hook has been called. This ensures that the object remains within the “loader context” of the load operation that is already ongoing, rather than the object being transferred to a new load context due to refresh operations which may have occurred in the event. A warning is now emitted when this condition occurs, which recommends use of the flag to resolve this case. The flag is “opt-in” so that there is no risk introduced to existing applications.
The change additionally adds support for the raw=True flag to session lifecycle events.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed regression caused in 1.3.13 by 5056 where a refactor of the ORM path registry system made it such that a path could no longer be compared to an empty tuple, which can occur in a particular kind of joined eager loading path. The “empty tuple” use case has been resolved so that the path registry is compared to a path registry in all cases; the PathRegistry object itself now implements __eq__() and __ne__() methods which will take place for all equality comparisons and continue to succeed in the not anticipated case that a non- PathRegistry object is compared, while emitting a warning that this object should not be the subject of the comparison.
[orm] [bug]
Setting a relationship to viewonly=True which is also the target of a back_populates or backref configuration will now emit a warning and eventually be disallowed. back_populates refers specifically to mutation of an attribute or collection, which is disallowed when the attribute is subject to viewonly=True. The viewonly attribute is not subject to persistence behaviors which means it will not reflect correct results when it is locally mutated.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed an additional regression in the same area as that of 5080 introduced in 1.3.0b3 via 4468 where the ability to create a joined option across a with_polymorphic() into a relationship against the base class of that with_polymorphic, and then further into regular mapped relationships would fail as the base class component would not add itself to the load path in a way that could be located by the loader strategy. The changes applied in 5080 have been further refined to also accommodate this scenario.
engine
[engine] [bug]
Expanded the scope of cursor/connection cleanup when a statement is executed to include when the result object fails to be constructed, or an after_cursor_execute() event raises an error, or autocommit / autoclose fails. This allows the DBAPI cursor to be cleaned up on failure and for connectionless execution allows the connection to be closed out and returned to the connection pool, where previously it waiting until garbage collection would trigger a pool return.
sql
[sql] [bug] [postgresql]
Fixed bug where a CTE of an INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE that also uses RETURNING could then not be SELECTed from directly, as the internal state of the compiler would try to treat the outer SELECT as a DELETE statement itself and access nonexistent state.
postgresql
[postgresql] [bug]
Fixed issue where the “schema_translate_map” feature would not work with a PostgreSQL native enumeration type (i.e. Enum, postgresql.ENUM) in that while the “CREATE TYPE” statement would be emitted with the correct schema, the schema would not be rendered in the CREATE TABLE statement at the point at which the enumeration was referenced.
[postgresql] [bug] [reflection]
Fixed bug where PostgreSQL reflection of CHECK constraints would fail to parse the constraint if the SQL text contained newline characters. The regular expression has been adjusted to accommodate for this case. Pull request courtesy Eric Borczuk.
mysql
[mysql] [bug]
Fixed issue in MySQL mysql.Insert.on_duplicate_key_update() construct where using a SQL function or other composed expression for a column argument would not properly render the VALUES keyword surrounding the column itself.
mssql
[mssql] [bug]
Fixed issue where the mssql.DATETIMEOFFSET type would not accommodate for the None value, introduced as part of the series of fixes for this type first introduced in 4983, 5045. Additionally, added support for passing a backend-specific date formatted string through this type, as is typically allowed for date/time types on most other DBAPIs.
oracle
[oracle] [bug]
Fixed a reflection bug where table comments could only be retrieved for tables actually owned by the user but not for tables visible to the user but owned by someone else. Pull request courtesy Dave Hirschfeld.
misc
[usecase] [ext]
Added keyword arguments to the MutableList.sort() function so that a key function as well as the “reverse” keyword argument can be provided.
[bug] [performance]
Revised an internal change to the test system added as a result of 5085 where a testing-related module per dialect would be loaded unconditionally upon making use of that dialect, pulling in SQLAlchemy’s testing framework as well as the ORM into the module import space. This would only impact initial startup time and memory to a modest extent, however it’s best that these additional modules aren’t reverse-dependent on straight Core usage.
[bug] [installation]
Vendored the inspect.formatannotation function inside of sqlalchemy.util.compat, which is needed for the vendored version of inspect.formatargspec. The function is not documented in cPython and is not guaranteed to be available in future Python versions.

Update SQLalchemy to version 0.6.0.
Changes since 0.5.6:
0.6.0
=====
- orm
- Unit of work internals have been rewritten. Units of work
with large numbers of objects interdependent objects
can now be flushed without recursion overflows
as there is no longer reliance upon recursive calls
[ticket:1081]. The number of internal structures now stays
constant for a particular session state, regardless of
how many relationships are present on mappings. The flow
of events now corresponds to a linear list of steps,
generated by the mappers and relationships based on actual
work to be done, filtered through a single topological sort
for correct ordering. Flush actions are assembled using
far fewer steps and less memory. [ticket:1742]
- Along with the UOW rewrite, this also removes an issue
introduced in 0.6beta3 regarding topological cycle detection
for units of work with long dependency cycles. We now use
an algorithm written by Guido (thanks Guido!).
- one-to-many relationships now maintain a list of positive
parent-child associations within the flush, preventing
previous parents marked as deleted from cascading a
delete or NULL foreign key set on those child objects,
despite the end-user not removing the child from the old
association. [ticket:1764]
- A collection lazy load will switch off default
eagerloading on the reverse many-to-one side, since
that loading is by definition unnecessary. [ticket:1495]
- Session.refresh() now does an equivalent expire()
on the given instance first, so that the "refresh-expire"
cascade is propagated. Previously, refresh() was
not affected in any way by the presence of "refresh-expire"
cascade. This is a change in behavior versus that
of 0.6beta2, where the "lockmode" flag passed to refresh()
would cause a version check to occur. Since the instance
is first expired, refresh() always upgrades the object
to the most recent version.
- The 'refresh-expire' cascade, when reaching a pending object,
will expunge the object if the cascade also includes
"delete-orphan", or will simply detach it otherwise.
[ticket:1754]
- id(obj) is no longer used internally within topological.py,
as the sorting functions now require hashable objects
only. [ticket:1756]
- The ORM will set the docstring of all generated descriptors
to None by default. This can be overridden using 'doc'
(or if using Sphinx, attribute docstrings work too).
- Added kw argument 'doc' to all mapper property callables
as well as Column(). Will assemble the string 'doc' as
the '__doc__' attribute on the descriptor.
- Usage of version_id_col on a backend that supports
cursor.rowcount for execute() but not executemany() now works
when a delete is issued (already worked for saves, since those
don't use executemany()). For a backend that doesn't support
cursor.rowcount at all, a warning is emitted the same
as with saves. [ticket:1761]
- The ORM now short-term caches the "compiled" form of
insert() and update() constructs when flushing lists of
objects of all the same class, thereby avoiding redundant
compilation per individual INSERT/UPDATE within an
individual flush() call.
- internal getattr(), setattr(), getcommitted() methods
on ColumnProperty, CompositeProperty, RelationshipProperty
have been underscored (i.e. are private), signature has
changed.
- engines
- The C extension now also works with DBAPIs which use custom
sequences as row (and not only tuples). [ticket:1757]
- sql
- Restored some bind-labeling logic from 0.5 which ensures
that tables with column names that overlap another column
of the form "<tablename>_<columnname>" won't produce
errors if column._label is used as a bind name during
an UPDATE. Test coverage which wasn't present in 0.5
has been added. [ticket:1755]
- somejoin.select(fold_equivalents=True) is no longer
deprecated, and will eventually be rolled into a more
comprehensive version of the feature for [ticket:1729].
- the Numeric type raises an *enormous* warning when expected
to convert floats to Decimal from a DBAPI that returns floats.
This includes SQLite, Sybase, MS-SQL. [ticket:1759]
- Fixed an error in expression typing which caused an endless
loop for expressions with two NULL types.
- Fixed bug in execution_options() feature whereby the existing
Transaction and other state information from the parent
connection would not be propagated to the sub-connection.
- Added new 'compiled_cache' execution option. A dictionary
where Compiled objects will be cached when the Connection
compiles a clause expression into a dialect- and parameter-
specific Compiled object. It is the user's responsibility to
manage the size of this dictionary, which will have keys
corresponding to the dialect, clause element, the column
names within the VALUES or SET clause of an INSERT or UPDATE,
as well as the "batch" mode for an INSERT or UPDATE statement.
- Added get_pk_constraint() to reflection.Inspector, similar
to get_primary_keys() except returns a dict that includes the
name of the constraint, for supported backends (PG so far).
[ticket:1769]
- Table.create() and Table.drop() no longer apply metadata-
level create/drop events. [ticket:1771]
- ext
- the compiler extension now allows @compiles decorators
on base classes that extend to child classes, @compiles
decorators on child classes that aren't broken by a
@compiles decorator on the base class.
- Declarative will raise an informative error message
if a non-mapped class attribute is referenced in the
string-based relationship() arguments.
- Further reworked the "mixin" logic in declarative to
additionally allow __mapper_args__ as a @classproperty
on a mixin, such as to dynamically assign polymorphic_identity.
- postgresql
- Postgresql now reflects sequence names associated with
SERIAL columns correctly, after the name of of the sequence
has been changed. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the patch.
[ticket:1071]
- Repaired missing import in psycopg2._PGNumeric type when
unknown numeric is received.
- psycopg2/pg8000 dialects now aware of REAL[], FLOAT[],
DOUBLE_PRECISION[], NUMERIC[] return types without
raising an exception.
- Postgresql reflects the name of primary key constraints,
if one exists. [ticket:1769]
- oracle
- Now using cx_oracle output converters so that the
DBAPI returns natively the kinds of values we prefer:
- NUMBER values with positive precision + scale convert
to cx_oracle.STRING and then to Decimal. This
allows perfect precision for the Numeric type when
using cx_oracle. [ticket:1759]
- STRING/FIXED_CHAR now convert to unicode natively.
SQLAlchemy's String types then don't need to
apply any kind of conversions.
- firebird
- The functionality of result.rowcount can be disabled on a
per-engine basis by setting 'enable_rowcount=False'
on create_engine(). Normally, cursor.rowcount is called
after any UPDATE or DELETE statement unconditionally,
because the cursor is then closed and Firebird requires
an open cursor in order to get a rowcount. This
call is slightly expensive however so it can be disabled.
To re-enable on a per-execution basis, the
'enable_rowcount=True' execution option may be used.
- examples
- Updated attribute_shard.py example to use a more robust
method of searching a Query for binary expressions which
compare columns against literal values.
0.6beta3
========
- orm
- Major feature: Added new "subquery" loading capability to
relationship(). This is an eager loading option which
generates a second SELECT for each collection represented
in a query, across all parents at once. The query
re-issues the original end-user query wrapped in a subquery,
applies joins out to the target collection, and loads
all those collections fully in one result, similar to
"joined" eager loading but using all inner joins and not
re-fetching full parent rows repeatedly (as most DBAPIs seem
to do, even if columns are skipped). Subquery loading is
available at mapper config level using "lazy='subquery'" and
at the query options level using "subqueryload(props..)",
"subqueryload_all(props...)". [ticket:1675]
- To accomodate the fact that there are now two kinds of eager
loading available, the new names for eagerload() and
eagerload_all() are joinedload() and joinedload_all(). The
old names will remain as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- The "lazy" flag on the relationship() function now accepts
a string argument for all kinds of loading: "select", "joined",
"subquery", "noload" and "dynamic", where the default is now
"select". The old values of True/
False/None still retain their usual meanings and will remain
as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- Added with_hint() method to Query() construct. This calls
directly down to select().with_hint() and also accepts
entities as well as tables and aliases. See with_hint() in the
SQL section below. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug in Query whereby calling q.join(prop).from_self(...).
join(prop) would fail to render the second join outside the
subquery, when joining on the same criterion as was on the
inside.
- Fixed bug in Query whereby the usage of aliased() constructs
would fail if the underlying table (but not the actual alias)
were referenced inside the subquery generated by
q.from_self() or q.select_from().
- Fixed bug which affected all eagerload() and similar options
such that "remote" eager loads, i.e. eagerloads off of a lazy
load such as query(A).options(eagerload(A.b, B.c))
wouldn't eagerload anything, but using eagerload("b.c") would
work fine.
- Query gains an add_columns(*columns) method which is a multi-
version of add_column(col). add_column(col) is future
deprecated.
- Query.join() will detect if the end result will be
"FROM A JOIN A", and will raise an error if so.
- Query.join(Cls.propname, from_joinpoint=True) will check more
carefully that "Cls" is compatible with the current joinpoint,
and act the same way as Query.join("propname", from_joinpoint=True)
in that regard.
- sql
- Added with_hint() method to select() construct. Specify
a table/alias, hint text, and optional dialect name, and
"hints" will be rendered in the appropriate place in the
statement. Works for Oracle, Sybase, MySQL. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug introduced in 0.6beta2 where column labels would
render inside of column expressions already assigned a label.
[ticket:1747]
- postgresql
- The psycopg2 dialect will log NOTICE messages via the
"sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql" logger name.
[ticket:877]
- the TIME and TIMESTAMP types are now availble from the
postgresql dialect directly, which add the PG-specific
argument 'precision' to both. 'precision' and
'timezone' are correctly reflected for both TIME and
TIMEZONE types. [ticket:997]
- mysql
- No longer guessing that TINYINT(1) should be BOOLEAN
when reflecting - TINYINT(1) is returned. Use Boolean/
BOOLEAN in table definition to get boolean conversion
behavior. [ticket:1752]
- oracle
- The Oracle dialect will issue VARCHAR type definitions
using character counts, i.e. VARCHAR2(50 CHAR), so that
the column is sized in terms of characters and not bytes.
Column reflection of character types will also use
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.CHAR_LENGTH instead of
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.DATA_LENGTH. Both of these behaviors take
effect when the server version is 9 or higher - for
version 8, the old behaviors are used. [ticket:1744]
- declarative
- Using a mixin won't break if the mixin implements an
unpredictable __getattribute__(), i.e. Zope interfaces.
[ticket:1746]
- Using @classdecorator and similar on mixins to define
__tablename__, __table_args__, etc. now works if
the method references attributes on the ultimate
subclass. [ticket:1749]
- relationships and columns with foreign keys aren't
allowed on declarative mixins, sorry. [ticket:1751]
- ext
- The sqlalchemy.orm.shard module now becomes an extension,
sqlalchemy.ext.horizontal_shard. The old import
works with a deprecation warning.
0.6beta2
========
- py3k
- Improved the installation/test setup regarding Python 3,
now that Distribute runs on Py3k. distribute_setup.py
is now included. See README.py3k for Python 3 installation/
testing instructions.
- orm
- The official name for the relation() function is now
relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational
algebra term. relation() however will remain available
in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
- Added "version_id_generator" argument to Mapper, this is a
callable that, given the current value of the "version_id_col",
returns the next version number. Can be used for alternate
versioning schemes such as uuid, timestamps. [ticket:1692]
- added "lockmode" kw argument to Session.refresh(), will
pass through the string value to Query the same as
in with_lockmode(), will also do version check for a
version_id_col-enabled mapping.
- Fixed bug whereby calling query(A).join(A.bs).add_entity(B)
in a joined inheritance scenario would double-add B as a
target and produce an invalid query. [ticket:1188]
- Fixed bug in session.rollback() which involved not removing
formerly "pending" objects from the session before
re-integrating "deleted" objects, typically occured with
natural primary keys. If there was a primary key conflict
between them, the attach of the deleted would fail
internally. The formerly "pending" objects are now expunged
first. [ticket:1674]
- Removed a lot of logging that nobody really cares about,
logging that remains will respond to live changes in the
log level. No significant overhead is added. [ticket:1719]
- Fixed bug in session.merge() which prevented dict-like
collections from merging.
- session.merge() works with relations that specifically
don't include "merge" in their cascade options - the target
is ignored completely.
- session.merge() will not expire existing scalar attributes
on an existing target if the target has a value for that
attribute, even if the incoming merged doesn't have
a value for the attribute. This prevents unnecessary loads
on existing items. Will still mark the attr as expired
if the destination doesn't have the attr, though, which
fulfills some contracts of deferred cols. [ticket:1681]
- The "allow_null_pks" flag is now called "allow_partial_pks",
defaults to True, acts like it did in 0.5 again. Except,
it also is implemented within merge() such that a SELECT
won't be issued for an incoming instance with partially
NULL primary key if the flag is False. [ticket:1680]
- Fixed bug in 0.6-reworked "many-to-one" optimizations
such that a many-to-one that is against a non-primary key
column on the remote table (i.e. foreign key against a
UNIQUE column) will pull the "old" value in from the
database during a change, since if it's in the session
we will need it for proper history/backref accounting,
and we can't pull from the local identity map on a
non-primary key column. [ticket:1737]
- fixed internal error which would occur if calling has()
or similar complex expression on a single-table inheritance
relation(). [ticket:1731]
- query.one() no longer applies LIMIT to the query, this to
ensure that it fully counts all object identities present
in the result, even in the case where joins may conceal
multiple identities for two or more rows. As a bonus,
one() can now also be called with a query that issued
from_statement() to start with since it no longer modifies
the query. [ticket:1688]
- query.get() now returns None if queried for an identifier
that is present in the identity map with a different class
than the one requested, i.e. when using polymorphic loading.
[ticket:1727]
- A major fix in query.join(), when the "on" clause is an
attribute of an aliased() construct, but there is already
an existing join made out to a compatible target, query properly
joins to the right aliased() construct instead of sticking
onto the right side of the existing join. [ticket:1706]
- Slight improvement to the fix for [ticket:1362] to not issue
needless updates of the primary key column during a so-called
"row switch" operation, i.e. add + delete of two objects
with the same PK.
- Now uses sqlalchemy.orm.exc.DetachedInstanceError when an
attribute load or refresh action fails due to object
being detached from any Session. UnboundExecutionError
is specific to engines bound to sessions and statements.
- Query called in the context of an expression will render
disambiguating labels in all cases. Note that this does
not apply to the existing .statement and .subquery()
accessor/method, which still honors the .with_labels()
setting that defaults to False.
- Query.union() retains disambiguating labels within the
returned statement, thus avoiding various SQL composition
errors which can result from column name conflicts.
[ticket:1676]
- Fixed bug in attribute history that inadvertently invoked
__eq__ on mapped instances.
- Some internal streamlining of object loading grants a
small speedup for large results, estimates are around
10-15%. Gave the "state" internals a good solid
cleanup with less complexity, datamembers,
method calls, blank dictionary creates.
- Documentation clarification for query.delete()
[ticket:1689]
- Fixed cascade bug in many-to-one relation() when attribute
was set to None, introduced in r6711 (cascade deleted
items into session during add()).
- Calling query.order_by() or query.distinct() before calling
query.select_from(), query.with_polymorphic(), or
query.from_statement() raises an exception now instead of
silently dropping those criterion. [ticket:1736]
- query.scalar() now raises an exception if more than one
row is returned. All other behavior remains the same.
[ticket:1735]
- Fixed bug which caused "row switch" logic, that is an
INSERT and DELETE replaced by an UPDATE, to fail when
version_id_col was in use. [ticket:1692]
- sql
- join() will now simulate a NATURAL JOIN by default. Meaning,
if the left side is a join, it will attempt to join the right
side to the rightmost side of the left first, and not raise
any exceptions about ambiguous join conditions if successful
even if there are further join targets across the rest of
the left. [ticket:1714]
- The most common result processors conversion function were
moved to the new "processors" module. Dialect authors are
encouraged to use those functions whenever they correspond
to their needs instead of implementing custom ones.
- SchemaType and subclasses Boolean, Enum are now serializable,
including their ddl listener and other event callables.
[ticket:1694] [ticket:1698]
- Some platforms will now interpret certain literal values
as non-bind parameters, rendered literally into the SQL
statement. This to support strict SQL-92 rules that are
enforced by some platforms including MS-SQL and Sybase.
In this model, bind parameters aren't allowed in the
columns clause of a SELECT, nor are certain ambiguous
expressions like "?=?". When this mode is enabled, the base
compiler will render the binds as inline literals, but only across
strings and numeric values. Other types such as dates
will raise an error, unless the dialect subclass defines
a literal rendering function for those. The bind parameter
must have an embedded literal value already or an error
is raised (i.e. won't work with straight bindparam('x')).
Dialects can also expand upon the areas where binds are not
accepted, such as within argument lists of functions
(which don't work on MS-SQL when native SQL binding is used).
- Added "unicode_errors" parameter to String, Unicode, etc.
Behaves like the 'errors' keyword argument to
the standard library's string.decode() functions. This flag
requires that `convert_unicode` is set to `"force"` - otherwise,
SQLAlchemy is not guaranteed to handle the task of unicode
conversion. Note that this flag adds significant performance
overhead to row-fetching operations for backends that already
return unicode objects natively (which most DBAPIs do). This
flag should only be used as an absolute last resort for reading
strings from a column with varied or corrupted encodings,
which only applies to databases that accept invalid encodings
in the first place (i.e. MySQL. *not* PG, Sqlite, etc.)
- Added math negation operator support, -x.
- FunctionElement subclasses are now directly executable the
same way any func.foo() construct is, with automatic
SELECT being applied when passed to execute().
- The "type" and "bind" keyword arguments of a func.foo()
construct are now local to "func." constructs and are
not part of the FunctionElement base class, allowing
a "type" to be handled in a custom constructor or
class-level variable.
- Restored the keys() method to ResultProxy.
- The type/expression system now does a more complete job
of determining the return type from an expression
as well as the adaptation of the Python operator into
a SQL operator, based on the full left/right/operator
of the given expression. In particular
the date/time/interval system created for Postgresql
EXTRACT in [ticket:1647] has now been generalized into
the type system. The previous behavior which often
occured of an expression "column + literal" forcing
the type of "literal" to be the same as that of "column"
will now usually not occur - the type of
"literal" is first derived from the Python type of the
literal, assuming standard native Python types + date
types, before falling back to that of the known type
on the other side of the expression. If the
"fallback" type is compatible (i.e. CHAR from String),
the literal side will use that. TypeDecorator
types override this by default to coerce the "literal"
side unconditionally, which can be changed by implementing
the coerce_compared_value() method. Also part of
[ticket:1683].
- Made sqlalchemy.sql.expressions.Executable part of public
API, used for any expression construct that can be sent to
execute(). FunctionElement now inherits Executable so that
it gains execution_options(), which are also propagated
to the select() that's generated within execute().
Executable in turn subclasses _Generative which marks
any ClauseElement that supports the @_generative
decorator - these may also become "public" for the benefit
of the compiler extension at some point.
- A change to the solution for [ticket:1579] - an end-user
defined bind parameter name that directly conflicts with
a column-named bind generated directly from the SET or
VALUES clause of an update/insert generates a compile error.
This reduces call counts and eliminates some cases where
undesirable name conflicts could still occur.
- Column() requires a type if it has no foreign keys (this is
not new). An error is now raised if a Column() has no type
and no foreign keys. [ticket:1705]
- the "scale" argument of the Numeric() type is honored when
coercing a returned floating point value into a string
on its way to Decimal - this allows accuracy to function
on SQLite, MySQL. [ticket:1717]
- the copy() method of Column now copies over uninitialized
"on table attach" events. Helps with the new declarative
"mixin" capability.
- engines
- Added an optional C extension to speed up the sql layer by
reimplementing RowProxy and the most common result processors.
The actual speedups will depend heavily on your DBAPI and
the mix of datatypes used in your tables, and can vary from
a 30% improvement to more than 200%. It also provides a modest
(~15-20%) indirect improvement to ORM speed for large queries.
Note that it is *not* built/installed by default.
See README for installation instructions.
- the execution sequence pulls all rowcount/last inserted ID
info from the cursor before commit() is called on the
DBAPI connection in an "autocommit" scenario. This helps
mxodbc with rowcount and is probably a good idea overall.
- Opened up logging a bit such that isEnabledFor() is called
more often, so that changes to the log level for engine/pool
will be reflected on next connect. This adds a small
amount of method call overhead. It's negligible and will make
life a lot easier for all those situations when logging
just happens to be configured after create_engine() is called.
[ticket:1719]
- The assert_unicode flag is deprecated. SQLAlchemy will raise
a warning in all cases where it is asked to encode a non-unicode
Python string, as well as when a Unicode or UnicodeType type
is explicitly passed a bytestring. The String type will do nothing
for DBAPIs that already accept Python unicode objects.
- Bind parameters are sent as a tuple instead of a list. Some
backend drivers will not accept bind parameters as a list.
- threadlocal engine wasn't properly closing the connection
upon close() - fixed that.
- Transaction object doesn't rollback or commit if it isn't
"active", allows more accurate nesting of begin/rollback/commit.
- Python unicode objects as binds result in the Unicode type,
not string, thus eliminating a certain class of unicode errors
on drivers that don't support unicode binds.
- Added "logging_name" argument to create_engine(), Pool() constructor
as well as "pool_logging_name" argument to create_engine() which
filters down to that of Pool. Issues the given string name
within the "name" field of logging messages instead of the default
hex identifier string. [ticket:1555]
- The visit_pool() method of Dialect is removed, and replaced with
on_connect(). This method returns a callable which receives
the raw DBAPI connection after each one is created. The callable
is assembled into a first_connect/connect pool listener by the
connection strategy if non-None. Provides a simpler interface
for dialects.
- StaticPool now initializes, disposes and recreates without
opening a new connection - the connection is only opened when
first requested. dispose() also works on AssertionPool now.
[ticket:1728]
- metadata
- Added the ability to strip schema information when using
"tometadata" by passing "schema=None" as an argument. If schema
is not specified then the table's schema is retained.
[ticket: 1673]
- declarative
- DeclarativeMeta exclusively uses cls.__dict__ (not dict_)
as the source of class information; _as_declarative exclusively
uses the dict_ passed to it as the source of class information
(which when using DeclarativeMeta is cls.__dict__). This should
in theory make it easier for custom metaclasses to modify
the state passed into _as_declarative.
- declarative now accepts mixin classes directly, as a means
to provide common functional and column-based elements on
all subclasses, as well as a means to propagate a fixed
set of __table_args__ or __mapper_args__ to subclasses.
For custom combinations of __table_args__/__mapper_args__ from
an inherited mixin to local, descriptors can now be used.
New details are all up in the Declarative documentation.
Thanks to Chris Withers for putting up with my strife
on this. [ticket:1707]
- the __mapper_args__ dict is copied when propagating to a subclass,
and is taken straight off the class __dict__ to avoid any
propagation from the parent. mapper inheritance already
propagates the things you want from the parent mapper.
[ticket:1393]
- An exception is raised when a single-table subclass specifies
a column that is already present on the base class.
[ticket:1732]
- mysql
- Fixed reflection bug whereby when COLLATE was present,
nullable flag and server defaults would not be reflected.
[ticket:1655]
- Fixed reflection of TINYINT(1) "boolean" columns defined with
integer flags like UNSIGNED.
- Further fixes for the mysql-connector dialect. [ticket:1668]
- Composite PK table on InnoDB where the "autoincrement" column
isn't first will emit an explicit "KEY" phrase within
CREATE TABLE thereby avoiding errors, [ticket:1496]
- Added reflection/create table support for a wide range
of MySQL keywords. [ticket:1634]
- Fixed import error which could occur reflecting tables on
a Windows host [ticket:1580]
- mssql
- Re-established support for the pymssql dialect.
- Various fixes for implicit returning, reflection,
etc. - the MS-SQL dialects aren't quite complete
in 0.6 yet (but are close)
- Added basic support for mxODBC [ticket:1710].
- Removed the text_as_varchar option.
- oracle
- "out" parameters require a type that is supported by
cx_oracle. An error will be raised if no cx_oracle
type can be found.
- Oracle 'DATE' now does not perform any result processing,
as the DATE type in Oracle stores full date+time objects,
that's what you'll get. Note that the generic types.Date
type *will* still call value.date() on incoming values,
however. When reflecting a table, the reflected type
will be 'DATE'.
- Added preliminary support for Oracle's WITH_UNICODE
mode. At the very least this establishes initial
support for cx_Oracle with Python 3. When WITH_UNICODE
mode is used in Python 2.xx, a large and scary warning
is emitted asking that the user seriously consider
the usage of this difficult mode of operation.
[ticket:1670]
- The except_() method now renders as MINUS on Oracle,
which is more or less equivalent on that platform.
[ticket:1712]
- Added support for rendering and reflecting
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, i.e. TIMESTAMP(timezone=True).
[ticket:651]
- Oracle INTERVAL type can now be reflected.
- sqlite
- Added "native_datetime=True" flag to create_engine().
This will cause the DATE and TIMESTAMP types to skip
all bind parameter and result row processing, under
the assumption that PARSE_DECLTYPES has been enabled
on the connection. Note that this is not entirely
compatible with the "func.current_date()", which
will be returned as a string. [ticket:1685]
- sybase
- Implemented a preliminary working dialect for Sybase,
with sub-implementations for Python-Sybase as well
as Pyodbc. Handles table
creates/drops and basic round trip functionality.
Does not yet include reflection or comprehensive
support of unicode/special expressions/etc.
- examples
- Changed the beaker cache example a bit to have a separate
RelationCache option for lazyload caching. This object
does a lookup among any number of potential attributes
more efficiently by grouping several into a common structure.
Both FromCache and RelationCache are simpler individually.
- documentation
- Major cleanup work in the docs to link class, function, and
method names into the API docs. [ticket:1700/1702/1703]
0.6beta1
========
- Major Release
- For the full set of feature descriptions, see
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/06Migration .
This document is a work in progress.
- All bug fixes and feature enhancements from the most
recent 0.5 version and below are also included within 0.6.
- Platforms targeted now include Python 2.4/2.5/2.6, Python
3.1, Jython2.5.
- orm
- Changes to query.update() and query.delete():
- the 'expire' option on query.update() has been renamed to
'fetch', thus matching that of query.delete().
'expire' is deprecated and issues a warning.
- query.update() and query.delete() both default to
'evaluate' for the synchronize strategy.
- the 'synchronize' strategy for update() and delete()
raises an error on failure. There is no implicit fallback
onto "fetch". Failure of evaluation is based on the
structure of criteria, so success/failure is deterministic
based on code structure.
- Enhancements on many-to-one relations:
- many-to-one relations now fire off a lazyload in fewer
cases, including in most cases will not fetch the "old"
value when a new one is replaced.
- many-to-one relation to a joined-table subclass now uses
get() for a simple load (known as the "use_get"
condition), i.e. Related->Sub(Base), without the need to
redefine the primaryjoin condition in terms of the base
table. [ticket:1186]
- specifying a foreign key with a declarative column, i.e.
ForeignKey(MyRelatedClass.id) doesn't break the "use_get"
condition from taking place [ticket:1492]
- relation(), eagerload(), and eagerload_all() now feature
an option called "innerjoin". Specify `True` or `False` to
control whether an eager join is constructed as an INNER
or OUTER join. Default is `False` as always. The mapper
options will override whichever setting is specified on
relation(). Should generally be set for many-to-one, not
nullable foreign key relations to allow improved join
performance. [ticket:1544]
- the behavior of eagerloading such that the main query is
wrapped in a subquery when LIMIT/OFFSET are present now
makes an exception for the case when all eager loads are
many-to-one joins. In those cases, the eager joins are
against the parent table directly along with the
limit/offset without the extra overhead of a subquery,
since a many-to-one join does not add rows to the result.
- Enhancements / Changes on Session.merge():
- the "dont_load=True" flag on Session.merge() is deprecated
and is now "load=False".
- Session.merge() is performance optimized, using half the
call counts for "load=False" mode compared to 0.5 and
significantly fewer SQL queries in the case of collections
for "load=True" mode.
- merge() will not issue a needless merge of attributes if the
given instance is the same instance which is already present.
- merge() now also merges the "options" associated with a given
state, i.e. those passed through query.options() which follow
along with an instance, such as options to eagerly- or
lazyily- load various attributes. This is essential for
the construction of highly integrated caching schemes. This
is a subtle behavioral change vs. 0.5.
- A bug was fixed regarding the serialization of the "loader
path" present on an instance's state, which is also necessary
when combining the usage of merge() with serialized state
and associated options that should be preserved.
- The all new merge() is showcased in a new comprehensive
example of how to integrate Beaker with SQLAlchemy. See
the notes in the "examples" note below.
- Primary key values can now be changed on a joined-table inheritance
object, and ON UPDATE CASCADE will be taken into account when
the flush happens. Set the new "passive_updates" flag to False
on mapper() when using SQLite or MySQL/MyISAM. [ticket:1362]
- flush() now detects when a primary key column was updated by
an ON UPDATE CASCADE operation from another primary key, and
can then locate the row for a subsequent UPDATE on the new PK
value. This occurs when a relation() is there to establish
the relationship as well as passive_updates=True. [ticket:1671]
- the "save-update" cascade will now cascade the pending *removed*
values from a scalar or collection attribute into the new session
during an add() operation. This so that the flush() operation
will also delete or modify rows of those disconnected items.
- Using a "dynamic" loader with a "secondary" table now produces
a query where the "secondary" table is *not* aliased. This
allows the secondary Table object to be used in the "order_by"
attribute of the relation(), and also allows it to be used
in filter criterion against the dynamic relation.
[ticket:1531]
- relation() with uselist=False will emit a warning when
an eager or lazy load locates more than one valid value for
the row. This may be due to primaryjoin/secondaryjoin
conditions which aren't appropriate for an eager LEFT OUTER
JOIN or for other conditions. [ticket:1643]
- an explicit check occurs when a synonym() is used with
map_column=True, when a ColumnProperty (deferred or otherwise)
exists separately in the properties dictionary sent to mapper
with the same keyname. Instead of silently replacing
the existing property (and possible options on that property),
an error is raised. [ticket:1633]
- a "dynamic" loader sets up its query criterion at construction
time so that the actual query is returned from non-cloning
accessors like "statement".
- the "named tuple" objects returned when iterating a
Query() are now pickleable.
- mapping to a select() construct now requires that you
make an alias() out of it distinctly. This to eliminate
confusion over such issues as [ticket:1542]
- query.join() has been reworked to provide more consistent
behavior and more flexibility (includes [ticket:1537])
- query.select_from() accepts multiple clauses to produce
multiple comma separated entries within the FROM clause.
Useful when selecting from multiple-homed join() clauses.
- query.select_from() also accepts mapped classes, aliased()
constructs, and mappers as arguments. In particular this
helps when querying from multiple joined-table classes to ensure
the full join gets rendered.
- query.get() can be used with a mapping to an outer join
where one or more of the primary key values are None.
[ticket:1135]
- query.from_self(), query.union(), others which do a
"SELECT * from (SELECT...)" type of nesting will do
a better job translating column expressions within the subquery
to the columns clause of the outer query. This is
potentially backwards incompatible with 0.5, in that this
may break queries with literal expressions that do not have labels
applied (i.e. literal('foo'), etc.)
[ticket:1568]
- relation primaryjoin and secondaryjoin now check that they
are column-expressions, not just clause elements. this prohibits
things like FROM expressions being placed there directly.
[ticket:1622]
- `expression.null()` is fully understood the same way
None is when comparing an object/collection-referencing
attribute within query.filter(), filter_by(), etc.
[ticket:1415]
- added "make_transient()" helper function which transforms a
persistent/ detached instance into a transient one (i.e.
deletes the instance_key and removes from any session.)
[ticket:1052]
- the allow_null_pks flag on mapper() is deprecated, and
the feature is turned "on" by default. This means that
a row which has a non-null value for any of its primary key
columns will be considered an identity. The need for this
scenario typically only occurs when mapping to an outer join.
[ticket:1339]
- the mechanics of "backref" have been fully merged into the
finer grained "back_populates" system, and take place entirely
within the _generate_backref() method of RelationProperty. This
makes the initialization procedure of RelationProperty
simpler and allows easier propagation of settings (such as from
subclasses of RelationProperty) into the reverse reference.
The internal BackRef() is gone and backref() returns a plain
tuple that is understood by RelationProperty.
- The version_id_col feature on mapper() will raise a warning when
used with dialects that don't support "rowcount" adequately.
[ticket:1569]
- added "execution_options()" to Query, to so options can be
passed to the resulting statement. Currently only
Select-statements have these options, and the only option
used is "stream_results", and the only dialect which knows
"stream_results" is psycopg2.
- Query.yield_per() will set the "stream_results" statement
option automatically.
- Deprecated or removed:
* 'allow_null_pks' flag on mapper() is deprecated. It does
nothing now and the setting is "on" in all cases.
* 'transactional' flag on sessionmaker() and others is
removed. Use 'autocommit=True' to indicate 'transactional=False'.
* 'polymorphic_fetch' argument on mapper() is removed.
Loading can be controlled using the 'with_polymorphic'
option.
* 'select_table' argument on mapper() is removed. Use
'with_polymorphic=("*", <some selectable>)' for this
functionality.
* 'proxy' argument on synonym() is removed. This flag
did nothing throughout 0.5, as the "proxy generation"
behavior is now automatic.
* Passing a single list of elements to eagerload(),
eagerload_all(), contains_eager(), lazyload(),
defer(), and undefer() instead of multiple positional
*args is deprecated.
* Passing a single list of elements to query.order_by(),
query.group_by(), query.join(), or query.outerjoin()
instead of multiple positional *args is deprecated.
* query.iterate_instances() is removed. Use query.instances().
* Query.query_from_parent() is removed. Use the
sqlalchemy.orm.with_parent() function to produce a
"parent" clause, or alternatively query.with_parent().
* query._from_self() is removed, use query.from_self()
instead.
* the "comparator" argument to composite() is removed.
Use "comparator_factory".
* RelationProperty._get_join() is removed.
* the 'echo_uow' flag on Session is removed. Use
logging on the "sqlalchemy.orm.unitofwork" name.
* session.clear() is removed. use session.expunge_all().
* session.save(), session.update(), session.save_or_update()
are removed. Use session.add() and session.add_all().
* the "objects" flag on session.flush() remains deprecated.
* the "dont_load=True" flag on session.merge() is deprecated
in favor of "load=False".
* ScopedSession.mapper remains deprecated. See the
usage recipe at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/SessionAwareMapper
* passing an InstanceState (internal SQLAlchemy state object) to
attributes.init_collection() or attributes.get_history() is
deprecated. These functions are public API and normally
expect a regular mapped object instance.
* the 'engine' parameter to declarative_base() is removed.
Use the 'bind' keyword argument.
- sql
- the "autocommit" flag on select() and text() as well
as select().autocommit() are deprecated - now call
.execution_options(autocommit=True) on either of those
constructs, also available directly on Connection and orm.Query.
- the autoincrement flag on column now indicates the column
which should be linked to cursor.lastrowid, if that method
is used. See the API docs for details.
- an executemany() now requires that all bound parameter
sets require that all keys are present which are
present in the first bound parameter set. The structure
and behavior of an insert/update statement is very much
determined by the first parameter set, including which
defaults are going to fire off, and a minimum of
guesswork is performed with all the rest so that performance
is not impacted. For this reason defaults would otherwise
silently "fail" for missing parameters, so this is now guarded
against. [ticket:1566]
- returning() support is native to insert(), update(),
delete(). Implementations of varying levels of
functionality exist for Postgresql, Firebird, MSSQL and
Oracle. returning() can be called explicitly with column
expressions which are then returned in the resultset,
usually via fetchone() or first().
insert() constructs will also use RETURNING implicitly to
get newly generated primary key values, if the database
version in use supports it (a version number check is
performed). This occurs if no end-user returning() was
specified.
- union(), intersect(), except() and other "compound" types
of statements have more consistent behavior w.r.t.
parenthesizing. Each compound element embedded within
another will now be grouped with parenthesis - previously,
the first compound element in the list would not be grouped,
as SQLite doesn't like a statement to start with
parenthesis. However, Postgresql in particular has
precedence rules regarding INTERSECT, and it is
more consistent for parenthesis to be applied equally
to all sub-elements. So now, the workaround for SQLite
is also what the workaround for PG was previously -
when nesting compound elements, the first one usually needs
".alias().select()" called on it to wrap it inside
of a subquery. [ticket:1665]
- insert() and update() constructs can now embed bindparam()
objects using names that match the keys of columns. These
bind parameters will circumvent the usual route to those
keys showing up in the VALUES or SET clause of the generated
SQL. [ticket:1579]
- the Binary type now returns data as a Python string
(or a "bytes" type in Python 3), instead of the built-
in "buffer" type. This allows symmetric round trips
of binary data. [ticket:1524]
- Added a tuple_() construct, allows sets of expressions
to be compared to another set, typically with IN against
composite primary keys or similar. Also accepts an
IN with multiple columns. The "scalar select can
have only one column" error message is removed - will
rely upon the database to report problems with
col mismatch.
- User-defined "default" and "onupdate" callables which
accept a context should now call upon
"context.current_parameters" to get at the dictionary
of bind parameters currently being processed. This
dict is available in the same way regardless of
single-execute or executemany-style statement execution.
- multi-part schema names, i.e. with dots such as
"dbo.master", are now rendered in select() labels
with underscores for dots, i.e. "dbo_master_table_column".
This is a "friendly" label that behaves better
in result sets. [ticket:1428]
- removed needless "counter" behavior with select()
labelnames that match a column name in the table,
i.e. generates "tablename_id" for "id", instead of
"tablename_id_1" in an attempt to avoid naming
conflicts, when the table has a column actually
named "tablename_id" - this is because
the labeling logic is always applied to all columns
so a naming conflict will never occur.
- calling expr.in_([]), i.e. with an empty list, emits a warning
before issuing the usual "expr != expr" clause. The
"expr != expr" can be very expensive, and it's preferred
that the user not issue in_() if the list is empty,
instead simply not querying, or modifying the criterion
as appropriate for more complex situations.
[ticket:1628]
- Added "execution_options()" to select()/text(), which set the
default options for the Connection. See the note in "engines".
- Deprecated or removed:
* "scalar" flag on select() is removed, use
select.as_scalar().
* "shortname" attribute on bindparam() is removed.
* postgres_returning, firebird_returning flags on
insert(), update(), delete() are deprecated, use
the new returning() method.
* fold_equivalents flag on join is deprecated (will remain
until [ticket:1131] is implemented)
- engines
- transaction isolation level may be specified with
create_engine(... isolation_level="..."); available on
postgresql and sqlite. [ticket:443]
- Connection has execution_options(), generative method
which accepts keywords that affect how the statement
is executed w.r.t. the DBAPI. Currently supports
"stream_results", causes psycopg2 to use a server
side cursor for that statement, as well as
"autocommit", which is the new location for the "autocommit"
option from select() and text(). select() and
text() also have .execution_options() as well as
ORM Query().
- fixed the import for entrypoint-driven dialects to
not rely upon silly tb_info trick to determine import
error status. [ticket:1630]
- added first() method to ResultProxy, returns first row and
closes result set immediately.
- RowProxy objects are now pickleable, i.e. the object returned
by result.fetchone(), result.fetchall() etc.
- RowProxy no longer has a close() method, as the row no longer
maintains a reference to the parent. Call close() on
the parent ResultProxy instead, or use autoclose.
- ResultProxy internals have been overhauled to greatly reduce
method call counts when fetching columns. Can provide a large
speed improvement (up to more than 100%) when fetching large
result sets. The improvement is larger when fetching columns
that have no type-level processing applied and when using
results as tuples (instead of as dictionaries). Many
thanks to Elixir's Gaëtan de Menten for this dramatic
improvement ! [ticket:1586]
- Databases which rely upon postfetch of "last inserted id"
to get at a generated sequence value (i.e. MySQL, MS-SQL)
now work correctly when there is a composite primary key
where the "autoincrement" column is not the first primary
key column in the table.
- the last_inserted_ids() method has been renamed to the
descriptor "inserted_primary_key".
- setting echo=False on create_engine() now sets the loglevel
to WARN instead of NOTSET. This so that logging can be
disabled for a particular engine even if logging
for "sqlalchemy.engine" is enabled overall. Note that the
default setting of "echo" is `None`. [ticket:1554]
- ConnectionProxy now has wrapper methods for all transaction
lifecycle events, including begin(), rollback(), commit()
begin_nested(), begin_prepared(), prepare(), release_savepoint(),
etc.
- Connection pool logging now uses both INFO and DEBUG
log levels for logging. INFO is for major events such
as invalidated connections, DEBUG for all the acquire/return
logging. `echo_pool` can be False, None, True or "debug"
the same way as `echo` works.
- All pyodbc-dialects now support extra pyodbc-specific
kw arguments 'ansi', 'unicode_results', 'autocommit'.
[ticket:1621]
- the "threadlocal" engine has been rewritten and simplified
and now supports SAVEPOINT operations.
- deprecated or removed
* result.last_inserted_ids() is deprecated. Use
result.inserted_primary_key
* dialect.get_default_schema_name(connection) is now
public via dialect.default_schema_name.
* the "connection" argument from engine.transaction() and
engine.run_callable() is removed - Connection itself
now has those methods. All four methods accept
*args and **kwargs which are passed to the given callable,
as well as the operating connection.
- schema
- the `__contains__()` method of `MetaData` now accepts
strings or `Table` objects as arguments. If given
a `Table`, the argument is converted to `table.key` first,
i.e. "[schemaname.]<tablename>" [ticket:1541]
- deprecated MetaData.connect() and
ThreadLocalMetaData.connect() have been removed - send
the "bind" attribute to bind a metadata.
- deprecated metadata.table_iterator() method removed (use
sorted_tables)
- deprecated PassiveDefault - use DefaultClause.
- the "metadata" argument is removed from DefaultGenerator
and subclasses, but remains locally present on Sequence,
which is a standalone construct in DDL.
- Removed public mutability from Index and Constraint
objects:
- ForeignKeyConstraint.append_element()
- Index.append_column()
- UniqueConstraint.append_column()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.add()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.remove()
These should be constructed declaratively (i.e. in one
construction).
- The "start" and "increment" attributes on Sequence now
generate "START WITH" and "INCREMENT BY" by default,
on Oracle and Postgresql. Firebird doesn't support
these keywords right now. [ticket:1545]
- UniqueConstraint, Index, PrimaryKeyConstraint all accept
lists of column names or column objects as arguments.
- Other removed things:
- Table.key (no idea what this was for)
- Table.primary_key is not assignable - use
table.append_constraint(PrimaryKeyConstraint(...))
- Column.bind (get via column.table.bind)
- Column.metadata (get via column.table.metadata)
- Column.sequence (use column.default)
- ForeignKey(constraint=some_parent) (is now private _constraint)
- The use_alter flag on ForeignKey is now a shortcut option
for operations that can be hand-constructed using the
DDL() event system. A side effect of this refactor is
that ForeignKeyConstraint objects with use_alter=True
will *not* be emitted on SQLite, which does not support
ALTER for foreign keys.
- ForeignKey and ForeignKeyConstraint objects now correctly
copy() all their public keyword arguments. [ticket:1605]
- Reflection/Inspection
- Table reflection has been expanded and generalized into
a new API called "sqlalchemy.engine.reflection.Inspector".
The Inspector object provides fine-grained information about
a wide variety of schema information, with room for expansion,
including table names, column names, view definitions, sequences,
indexes, etc.
- Views are now reflectable as ordinary Table objects. The same
Table constructor is used, with the caveat that "effective"
primary and foreign key constraints aren't part of the reflection
results; these have to be specified explicitly if desired.
- The existing autoload=True system now uses Inspector underneath
so that each dialect need only return "raw" data about tables
and other objects - Inspector is the single place that information
is compiled into Table objects so that consistency is at a maximum.
- DDL
- the DDL system has been greatly expanded. the DDL() class
now extends the more generic DDLElement(), which forms the basis
of many new constructs:
- CreateTable()
- DropTable()
- AddConstraint()
- DropConstraint()
- CreateIndex()
- DropIndex()
- CreateSequence()
- DropSequence()
These support "on" and "execute-at()" just like plain DDL()
does. User-defined DDLElement subclasses can be created and
linked to a compiler using the sqlalchemy.ext.compiler extension.
- The signature of the "on" callable passed to DDL() and
DDLElement() is revised as follows:
"ddl" - the DDLElement object itself.
"event" - the string event name.
"target" - previously "schema_item", the Table or
MetaData object triggering the event.
"connection" - the Connection object in use for the operation.
**kw - keyword arguments. In the case of MetaData before/after
create/drop, the list of Table objects for which
CREATE/DROP DDL is to be issued is passed as the kw
argument "tables". This is necessary for metadata-level
DDL that is dependent on the presence of specific tables.
- the "schema_item" attribute of DDL has been renamed to
"target".
- dialect refactor
- Dialect modules are now broken into database dialects
plus DBAPI implementations. Connect URLs are now
preferred to be specified using dialect+driver://...,
i.e. "mysql+mysqldb://scott:tiger@localhost/test". See
the 0.6 documentation for examples.
- the setuptools entrypoint for external dialects is now
called "sqlalchemy.dialects".
- the "owner" keyword argument is removed from Table. Use
"schema" to represent any namespaces to be prepended to
the table name.
- server_version_info becomes a static attribute.
- dialects receive an initialize() event on initial
connection to determine connection properties.
- dialects receive a visit_pool event have an opportunity
to establish pool listeners.
- cached TypeEngine classes are cached per-dialect class
instead of per-dialect.
- new UserDefinedType should be used as a base class for
new types, which preserves the 0.5 behavior of
get_col_spec().
- The result_processor() method of all type classes now
accepts a second argument "coltype", which is the DBAPI
type argument from cursor.description. This argument
can help some types decide on the most efficient processing
of result values.
- Deprecated Dialect.get_params() removed.
- Dialect.get_rowcount() has been renamed to a descriptor
"rowcount", and calls cursor.rowcount directly. Dialects
which need to hardwire a rowcount in for certain calls
should override the method to provide different behavior.
- DefaultRunner and subclasses have been removed. The job
of this object has been simplified and moved into
ExecutionContext. Dialects which support sequences should
add a `fire_sequence()` method to their execution context
implementation. [ticket:1566]
- Functions and operators generated by the compiler now use
(almost) regular dispatch functions of the form
"visit_<opname>" and "visit_<funcname>_fn" to provide
customed processing. This replaces the need to copy the
"functions" and "operators" dictionaries in compiler
subclasses with straightforward visitor methods, and also
allows compiler subclasses complete control over
rendering, as the full _Function or _BinaryExpression
object is passed in.
- postgresql
- New dialects: pg8000, zxjdbc, and pypostgresql
on py3k.
- The "postgres" dialect is now named "postgresql" !
Connection strings look like:
postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test
postgresql+pg8000://scott:tiger@localhost/test
The "postgres" name remains for backwards compatiblity
in the following ways:
- There is a "postgres.py" dummy dialect which
allows old URLs to work, i.e.
postgres://scott:tiger@localhost/test
- The "postgres" name can be imported from the old
"databases" module, i.e. "from
sqlalchemy.databases import postgres" as well as
"dialects", "from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgres
import base as pg", will send a deprecation
warning.
- Special expression arguments are now named
"postgresql_returning" and "postgresql_where", but
the older "postgres_returning" and
"postgres_where" names still work with a
deprecation warning.
- "postgresql_where" now accepts SQL expressions which
can also include literals, which will be quoted as needed.
- The psycopg2 dialect now uses psycopg2's "unicode extension"
on all new connections, which allows all String/Text/etc.
types to skip the need to post-process bytestrings into
unicode (an expensive step due to its volume). Other
dialects which return unicode natively (pg8000, zxjdbc)
also skip unicode post-processing.
- Added new ENUM type, which exists as a schema-level
construct and extends the generic Enum type. Automatically
associates itself with tables and their parent metadata
to issue the appropriate CREATE TYPE/DROP TYPE
commands as needed, supports unicode labels, supports
reflection. [ticket:1511]
- INTERVAL supports an optional "precision" argument
corresponding to the argument that PG accepts.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
psycopg2 can't handle a bind parameter name of
%(foobar)s however and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead
just to treat that one non-existent use case.
[ticket:1279]
- Inserting NULL into a primary key + foreign key column
will allow the "not null constraint" error to raise,
not an attempt to execute a nonexistent "col_id_seq"
sequence. [ticket:1516]
- autoincrement SELECT statements, i.e. those which
select from a procedure that modifies rows, now work
with server-side cursor mode (the named cursor isn't
used for such statements.)
- postgresql dialect can properly detect pg "devel" version
strings, i.e. "8.5devel" [ticket:1636]
- The psycopg2 now respects the statement option
"stream_results". This option overrides the connection setting
"server_side_cursors". If true, server side cursors will be
used for the statement. If false, they will not be used, even
if "server_side_cursors" is true on the
connection. [ticket:1619]
- mysql
- New dialects: oursql, a new native dialect,
MySQL Connector/Python, a native Python port of MySQLdb,
and of course zxjdbc on Jython.
- VARCHAR/NVARCHAR will not render without a length, raises
an error before passing to MySQL. Doesn't impact
CAST since VARCHAR is not allowed in MySQL CAST anyway,
the dialect renders CHAR/NCHAR in those cases.
- all the _detect_XXX() functions now run once underneath
dialect.initialize()
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
MySQLdb can't handle % signs in SQL when executemany() is used,
and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead just to treat that one
non-existent use case. [ticket:1279]
- the BINARY and MSBinary types now generate "BINARY" in all
cases. Omitting the "length" parameter will generate
"BINARY" with no length. Use BLOB to generate an unlengthed
binary column.
- the "quoting='quoted'" argument to MSEnum/ENUM is deprecated.
It's best to rely upon the automatic quoting.
- ENUM now subclasses the new generic Enum type, and also handles
unicode values implicitly, if the given labelnames are unicode
objects.
- a column of type TIMESTAMP now defaults to NULL if
"nullable=False" is not passed to Column(), and no default
is present. This is now consistent with all other types,
and in the case of TIMESTAMP explictly renders "NULL"
due to MySQL's "switching" of default nullability
for TIMESTAMP columns. [ticket:1539]
- oracle
- unit tests pass 100% with cx_oracle !
- support for cx_Oracle's "native unicode" mode which does
not require NLS_LANG to be set. Use the latest 5.0.2 or
later of cx_oracle.
- an NCLOB type is added to the base types.
- use_ansi=False won't leak into the FROM/WHERE clause of
a statement that's selecting from a subquery that also
uses JOIN/OUTERJOIN.
- added native INTERVAL type to the dialect. This supports
only the DAY TO SECOND interval type so far due to lack
of support in cx_oracle for YEAR TO MONTH. [ticket:1467]
- usage of the CHAR type results in cx_oracle's
FIXED_CHAR dbapi type being bound to statements.
- the Oracle dialect now features NUMBER which intends
to act justlike Oracle's NUMBER type. It is the primary
numeric type returned by table reflection and attempts
to return Decimal()/float/int based on the precision/scale
parameters. [ticket:885]
- func.char_length is a generic function for LENGTH
- ForeignKey() which includes onupdate=<value> will emit a
warning, not emit ON UPDATE CASCADE which is unsupported
by oracle
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- using types.BigInteger with Oracle will generate
NUMBER(19) [ticket:1125]
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- firebird
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- mssql
- MSSQL + Pyodbc + FreeTDS now works for the most part,
with possible exceptions regarding binary data as well as
unicode schema identifiers.
- the "has_window_funcs" flag is removed. LIMIT/OFFSET
usage will use ROW NUMBER as always, and if on an older
version of SQL Server, the operation fails. The behavior
is exactly the same except the error is raised by SQL
server instead of the dialect, and no flag setting is
required to enable it.
- the "auto_identity_insert" flag is removed. This feature
always takes effect when an INSERT statement overrides a
column that is known to have a sequence on it. As with
"has_window_funcs", if the underlying driver doesn't
support this, then you can't do this operation in any
case, so there's no point in having a flag.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- removed references to sequence which is no longer used.
implicit identities in mssql work the same as implicit
sequences on any other dialects. Explicit sequences are
enabled through the use of "default=Sequence()". See
the MSSQL dialect documentation for more information.
- sqlite
- DATE, TIME and DATETIME types can now take optional storage_format
and regexp argument. storage_format can be used to store those types
using a custom string format. regexp allows to use a custom regular
expression to match string values from the database.
- Time and DateTime types now use by a default a stricter regular
expression to match strings from the database. Use the regexp
argument if you are using data stored in a legacy format.
- __legacy_microseconds__ on SQLite Time and DateTime types is not
supported anymore. You should use the storage_format argument
instead.
- Date, Time and DateTime types are now stricter in what they accept as
bind parameters: Date type only accepts date objects (and datetime
ones, because they inherit from date), Time only accepts time
objects, and DateTime only accepts date and datetime objects.
- Table() supports a keyword argument "sqlite_autoincrement", which
applies the SQLite keyword "AUTOINCREMENT" to the single integer
primary key column when generating DDL. Will prevent generation of
a separate PRIMARY KEY constraint. [ticket:1016]
- new dialects
- postgresql+pg8000
- postgresql+pypostgresql (partial)
- postgresql+zxjdbc
- mysql+pyodbc
- mysql+zxjdbc
- types
- The construction of types within dialects has been totally
overhauled. Dialects now define publically available types
as UPPERCASE names exclusively, and internal implementation
types using underscore identifiers (i.e. are private).
The system by which types are expressed in SQL and DDL
has been moved to the compiler system. This has the
effect that there are much fewer type objects within
most dialects. A detailed document on this architecture
for dialect authors is in
lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/type_migration_guidelines.txt .
- Types no longer make any guesses as to default
parameters. In particular, Numeric, Float, NUMERIC,
FLOAT, DECIMAL don't generate any length or scale unless
specified.
- types.Binary is renamed to types.LargeBinary, it only
produces BLOB, BYTEA, or a similar "long binary" type.
New base BINARY and VARBINARY
types have been added to access these MySQL/MS-SQL specific
types in an agnostic way [ticket:1664].
- String/Text/Unicode types now skip the unicode() check
on each result column value if the dialect has
detected the DBAPI as returning Python unicode objects
natively. This check is issued on first connect
using "SELECT CAST 'some text' AS VARCHAR(10)" or
equivalent, then checking if the returned object
is a Python unicode. This allows vast performance
increases for native-unicode DBAPIs, including
pysqlite/sqlite3, psycopg2, and pg8000.
- Most types result processors have been checked for possible speed
improvements. Specifically, the following generic types have been
optimized, resulting in varying speed improvements:
Unicode, PickleType, Interval, TypeDecorator, Binary.
Also the following dbapi-specific implementations have been improved:
Time, Date and DateTime on Sqlite, ARRAY on Postgresql,
Time on MySQL, Numeric(as_decimal=False) on MySQL, oursql and
pypostgresql, DateTime on cx_oracle and LOB-based types on cx_oracle.
- Reflection of types now returns the exact UPPERCASE
type within types.py, or the UPPERCASE type within
the dialect itself if the type is not a standard SQL
type. This means reflection now returns more accurate
information about reflected types.
- Added a new Enum generic type. Enum is a schema-aware object
to support databases which require specific DDL in order to
use enum or equivalent; in the case of PG it handles the
details of `CREATE TYPE`, and on other databases without
native enum support will by generate VARCHAR + an inline CHECK
constraint to enforce the enum.
[ticket:1109] [ticket:1511]
- The Interval type includes a "native" flag which controls
if native INTERVAL types (postgresql + oracle) are selected
if available, or not. "day_precision" and "second_precision"
arguments are also added which propagate as appropriately
to these native types. Related to [ticket:1467].
- The Boolean type, when used on a backend that doesn't
have native boolean support, will generate a CHECK
constraint "col IN (0, 1)" along with the int/smallint-
based column type. This can be switched off if
desired with create_constraint=False.
Note that MySQL has no native boolean *or* CHECK constraint
support so this feature isn't available on that platform.
[ticket:1589]
- PickleType now uses == for comparison of values when
mutable=True, unless the "comparator" argument with a
comparsion function is specified to the type. Objects
being pickled will be compared based on identity (which
defeats the purpose of mutable=True) if __eq__() is not
overridden or a comparison function is not provided.
- The default "precision" and "scale" arguments of Numeric
and Float have been removed and now default to None.
NUMERIC and FLOAT will be rendered with no numeric
arguments by default unless these values are provided.
- AbstractType.get_search_list() is removed - the games
that was used for are no longer necessary.
- Added a generic BigInteger type, compiles to
BIGINT or NUMBER(19). [ticket:1125]
-ext
- sqlsoup has been overhauled to explicitly support an 0.5 style
session, using autocommit=False, autoflush=True. Default
behavior of SQLSoup now requires the usual usage of commit()
and rollback(), which have been added to its interface. An
explcit Session or scoped_session can be passed to the
constructor, allowing these arguments to be overridden.
- sqlsoup db.<sometable>.update() and delete() now call
query(cls).update() and delete(), respectively.
- sqlsoup now has execute() and connection(), which call upon
the Session methods of those names, ensuring that the bind is
in terms of the SqlSoup object's bind.
- sqlsoup objects no longer have the 'query' attribute - it's
not needed for sqlsoup's usage paradigm and it gets in the
way of a column that is actually named 'query'.
- The signature of the proxy_factory callable passed to
association_proxy is now (lazy_collection, creator,
value_attr, association_proxy), adding a fourth argument
that is the parent AssociationProxy argument. Allows
serializability and subclassing of the built in collections.
[ticket:1259]
- association_proxy now has basic comparator methods .any(),
.has(), .contains(), ==, !=, thanks to Scott Torborg.
[ticket:1372]
- examples
- The "query_cache" examples have been removed, and are replaced
with a fully comprehensive approach that combines the usage of
Beaker with SQLAlchemy. New query options are used to indicate
the caching characteristics of a particular Query, which
can also be invoked deep within an object graph when lazily
loading related objects. See /examples/beaker_caching/README.
0.5.9
=====
- sql
- Fixed erroneous self_group() call in expression package.
[ticket:1661]
0.5.8
=====
- sql
- The copy() method on Column now supports uninitialized,
unnamed Column objects. This allows easy creation of
declarative helpers which place common columns on multiple
subclasses.
- Default generators like Sequence() translate correctly
across a copy() operation.
- Sequence() and other DefaultGenerator objects are accepted
as the value for the "default" and "onupdate" keyword
arguments of Column, in addition to being accepted
positionally.
- Fixed a column arithmetic bug that affected column
correspondence for cloned selectables which contain
free-standing column expressions. This bug is
generally only noticeable when exercising newer
ORM behavior only availble in 0.6 via [ticket:1568],
but is more correct at the SQL expression level
as well. [ticket:1617]
- postgresql
- The extract() function, which was slightly improved in
0.5.7, needed a lot more work to generate the correct
typecast (the typecasts appear to be necessary in PG's
EXTRACT quite a lot of the time). The typecast is
now generated using a rule dictionary based
on PG's documentation for date/time/interval arithmetic.
It also accepts text() constructs again, which was broken
in 0.5.7. [ticket:1647]
- firebird
- Recognize more errors as disconnections. [ticket:1646]
0.5.7
=====
- orm
- contains_eager() now works with the automatically
generated subquery that results when you say
"query(Parent).join(Parent.somejoinedsubclass)", i.e.
when Parent joins to a joined-table-inheritance subclass.
Previously contains_eager() would erroneously add the
subclass table to the query separately producing a
cartesian product. An example is in the ticket
description. [ticket:1543]
- query.options() now only propagate to loaded objects
for potential further sub-loads only for options where
such behavior is relevant, keeping
various unserializable options like those generated
by contains_eager() out of individual instance states.
[ticket:1553]
- Session.execute() now locates table- and
mapper-specific binds based on a passed
in expression which is an insert()/update()/delete()
construct. [ticket:1054]
- Session.merge() now properly overwrites a many-to-one or
uselist=False attribute to None if the attribute
is also None in the given object to be merged.
- Fixed a needless select which would occur when merging
transient objects that contained a null primary key
identifier. [ticket:1618]
- Mutable collection passed to the "extension" attribute
of relation(), column_property() etc. will not be mutated
or shared among multiple instrumentation calls, preventing
duplicate extensions, such as backref populators,
from being inserted into the list.
[ticket:1585]
- Fixed the call to get_committed_value() on CompositeProperty.
[ticket:1504]
- Fixed bug where Query would crash if a join() with no clear
"left" side were called when a non-mapped column entity
appeared in the columns list. [ticket:1602]
- Fixed bug whereby composite columns wouldn't load properly
when configured on a joined-table subclass, introduced in
version 0.5.6 as a result of the fix for [ticket:1480].
[ticket:1616] thx to Scott Torborg.
- The "use get" behavior of many-to-one relations, i.e. that a
lazy load will fallback to the possibly cached query.get()
value, now works across join conditions where the two compared
types are not exactly the same class, but share the same
"affinity" - i.e. Integer and SmallInteger. Also allows
combinations of reflected and non-reflected types to work
with 0.5 style type reflection, such as PGText/Text (note 0.6
reflects types as their generic versions). [ticket:1556]
- Fixed bug in query.update() when passing Cls.attribute
as keys in the value dict and using synchronize_session='expire'
('fetch' in 0.6). [ticket:1436]
- sql
- Fixed bug in two-phase transaction whereby commit() method
didn't set the full state which allows subsequent close()
call to succeed. [ticket:1603]
- Fixed the "numeric" paramstyle, which apparently is the
default paramstyle used by Informixdb.
- Repeat expressions in the columns clause of a select
are deduped based on the identity of each clause element,
not the actual string. This allows positional
elements to render correctly even if they all render
identically, such as "qmark" style bind parameters.
[ticket:1574]
- The cursor associated with connection pool connections
(i.e. _CursorFairy) now proxies `__iter__()` to the
underlying cursor correctly. [ticket:1632]
- types now support an "affinity comparison" operation, i.e.
that an Integer/SmallInteger are "compatible", or
a Text/String, PickleType/Binary, etc. Part of
[ticket:1556].
- Fixed bug preventing alias() of an alias() from being
cloned or adapted (occurs frequently in ORM operations).
[ticket:1641]
- sqlite
- sqlite dialect properly generates CREATE INDEX for a table
that is in an alternate schema. [ticket:1439]
- postgresql
- Added support for reflecting the DOUBLE PRECISION type,
via a new postgres.PGDoublePrecision object.
This is postgresql.DOUBLE_PRECISION in 0.6.
[ticket:1085]
- Added support for reflecting the INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND syntaxes of the INTERVAL
type. [ticket:460]
- Corrected the "has_sequence" query to take current schema,
or explicit sequence-stated schema, into account.
[ticket:1576]
- Fixed the behavior of extract() to apply operator
precedence rules to the "::" operator when applying
the "timestamp" cast - ensures proper parenthesization.
[ticket:1611]
- mssql
- Changed the name of TrustedConnection to
Trusted_Connection when constructing pyodbc connect
arguments [ticket:1561]
- oracle
- The "table_names" dialect function, used by MetaData
.reflect(), omits "index overflow tables", a system
table generated by Oracle when "index only tables"
with overflow are used. These tables aren't accessible
via SQL and can't be reflected. [ticket:1637]
- ext
- A column can be added to a joined-table declarative
superclass after the class has been constructed
(i.e. via class-level attribute assignment), and
the column will be propagated down to
subclasses. [ticket:1570] This is the reverse
situation as that of [ticket:1523], fixed in 0.5.6.
- Fixed a slight inaccuracy in the sharding example.
Comparing equivalence of columns in the ORM is best
accomplished using col1.shares_lineage(col2).
[ticket:1491]
- Removed unused `load()` method from ShardedQuery.
[ticket:1606]

Update py-sqlalchemy to version 0.8.2.
Changes since 0.7.10:
- Compatibility for Python 2.4 is being dropped.
- The primaryjoin argument is no longer needed when constructing a
relationship() against a class that has multiple foreign key paths to the
target.
- Relationships against self-referential, composite foreign keys where a
column points to itself are now supported.
- Previously difficult custom join conditions, like those involving
functions and/or CASTing of types, will now function as expected in most
cases.
- New Class/Object Inspection System.
- A new enhancement to the aliased() construct has been added called
with_polymorphic() which allows any entity to be “aliased” into a
“polymorphic” version of itself, freely usable anywhere.
- The PropComparator.of_type() method can now be used to target any number
of target subtypes, by combining it with the new with_polymorphic()
function.
- Mapper and instance events can now be associated with an unmapped
superclass, where those events will be propagated to subclasses as those
subclasses are mapped. The propagate=True flag should be used.
- The registry of class names is now sensitive to the owning module and
package of a given class. The classes can be referred to via dotted name
in expressions.
- The “deferred reflection” feature allows the construction of declarative
mapped classes with only placeholder Table metadata, until a prepare()
step is called, given an Engine with which to reflect fully all tables
and establish actual mappings. The system supports overriding of columns,
single and joined inheritance, as well as distinct bases-per-engine.
- A new SQL registration system allows a mapped class to be accepted as a
FROM clause within the core.
- The new UPDATE..FROM mechanics work in query.update().
- Upon rollback(), only those objects that were made dirty since the last
flush will be expired, the rest of the Session remains intact.
- Caching Example now uses dogpile.cache.
- The new operator system in Core associates new and overridden operators
with types.
- SQL expressions can now be associated with types.
- The inspect() function introduced in New Class/Object Inspection System
also applies to the core.
- select() now has a method Select.correlate_except() which specifies
“correlate on all FROM clauses except those specified”.
- Support for Postgresql’s HSTORE type is now available as
postgresql.HSTORE. This type makes great usage of the new operator system
to provide a full range of operators for HSTORE types, including index
access, concatenation, and containment methods such as has_key(),
has_any(), and matrix().
- The postgresql.ARRAY type will accept an optional “dimension” argument,
pinning it to a fixed number of dimensions and greatly improving
efficiency when retrieving results.
- SQLite has no built-in DATE, TIME, or DATETIME types, and instead
provides some support for storage of date and time values either as
strings or integers.
- The “collate” keyword, long accepted by the MySQL dialect, is now
established on all String types and will render on any backend, including
when features such as MetaData.create_all() and cast() is used.
- Geared towards MySQL, a “prefix” can be rendered within any of these
constructs.
- The consideration of a “pending” object as an “orphan” has been made more
aggressive.
- The after_attach event fires after the item is associated with the
Session instead of before; before_attach added.
- Query now auto-correlates like a select() does.
- Correlation is now always context-specific.
- create_all() and drop_all() will now honor an empty list as such.
- Repaired the Event Targeting of InstrumentationEvents.
- No more magic coercion of “=” to IN when comparing to subquery in
MS-SQL.
- The Session.is_modified() method accepts an argument passive which
basically should not be necessary, the argument in all cases should be
the value True - when left at its default of False it would have the
effect of hitting the database, and often triggering autoflush which
would itself change the results. In 0.8 the passive argument will have no
effect, and unloaded attributes will never be checked for history since
by definition there can be no pending state change on an unloaded
attribute.
- Column.key is honored in the Select.c attribute of select() with
Select.apply_labels().
- A relationship() that is many-to-one or many-to-many and specifies
“cascade=’all, delete-orphan’”, which is an awkward but nonetheless
supported use case (with restrictions) will now raise an error if the
relationship does not specify the single_parent=True option.
- Adding the inspector argument to the column_reflect event.
- The MySQL dialect does two calls, one very expensive, to load all
possible collations from the database as well as information on casing,
the first time an Engine connects. Neither of these collections are used
for any SQLAlchemy functions, so these calls will be changed to no longer
be emitted automatically. Applications that might have relied on these
collections being present on engine.dialect will need to call upon
_detect_collations() and _detect_casing() directly.
- Inspector.get_primary_keys() is deprecated, use
Inspector.get_pk_constraint.
- Case-insensitive result row names will be disabled in most cases. It will
be available only optionally, by passing the flag `case_sensitive=False`
to `create_engine()`, but otherwise column names requested from the row
must match as far as casing.
- The sqlalchemy.orm.interfaces.InstrumentationManager class is moved to
sqlalchemy.ext.instrumentation.InstrumentationManager.
- SQLSoup is now moved into its own project and documented/released
separately; see https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/sqlsoup.
- The older “mutable” system within the SQLAlchemy ORM has been removed.
- We had left in an alias sqlalchemy.exceptions to attempt to make it
slightly easier for some very old libraries that hadn’t yet been upgraded
to use sqlalchemy.exc. Some users are still being confused by it however
so in 0.8 we’re taking it out entirely to eliminate any of that confusion.

Update SQLalchemy to version 0.6.0.
Changes since 0.5.6:
0.6.0
=====
- orm
- Unit of work internals have been rewritten. Units of work
with large numbers of objects interdependent objects
can now be flushed without recursion overflows
as there is no longer reliance upon recursive calls
[ticket:1081]. The number of internal structures now stays
constant for a particular session state, regardless of
how many relationships are present on mappings. The flow
of events now corresponds to a linear list of steps,
generated by the mappers and relationships based on actual
work to be done, filtered through a single topological sort
for correct ordering. Flush actions are assembled using
far fewer steps and less memory. [ticket:1742]
- Along with the UOW rewrite, this also removes an issue
introduced in 0.6beta3 regarding topological cycle detection
for units of work with long dependency cycles. We now use
an algorithm written by Guido (thanks Guido!).
- one-to-many relationships now maintain a list of positive
parent-child associations within the flush, preventing
previous parents marked as deleted from cascading a
delete or NULL foreign key set on those child objects,
despite the end-user not removing the child from the old
association. [ticket:1764]
- A collection lazy load will switch off default
eagerloading on the reverse many-to-one side, since
that loading is by definition unnecessary. [ticket:1495]
- Session.refresh() now does an equivalent expire()
on the given instance first, so that the "refresh-expire"
cascade is propagated. Previously, refresh() was
not affected in any way by the presence of "refresh-expire"
cascade. This is a change in behavior versus that
of 0.6beta2, where the "lockmode" flag passed to refresh()
would cause a version check to occur. Since the instance
is first expired, refresh() always upgrades the object
to the most recent version.
- The 'refresh-expire' cascade, when reaching a pending object,
will expunge the object if the cascade also includes
"delete-orphan", or will simply detach it otherwise.
[ticket:1754]
- id(obj) is no longer used internally within topological.py,
as the sorting functions now require hashable objects
only. [ticket:1756]
- The ORM will set the docstring of all generated descriptors
to None by default. This can be overridden using 'doc'
(or if using Sphinx, attribute docstrings work too).
- Added kw argument 'doc' to all mapper property callables
as well as Column(). Will assemble the string 'doc' as
the '__doc__' attribute on the descriptor.
- Usage of version_id_col on a backend that supports
cursor.rowcount for execute() but not executemany() now works
when a delete is issued (already worked for saves, since those
don't use executemany()). For a backend that doesn't support
cursor.rowcount at all, a warning is emitted the same
as with saves. [ticket:1761]
- The ORM now short-term caches the "compiled" form of
insert() and update() constructs when flushing lists of
objects of all the same class, thereby avoiding redundant
compilation per individual INSERT/UPDATE within an
individual flush() call.
- internal getattr(), setattr(), getcommitted() methods
on ColumnProperty, CompositeProperty, RelationshipProperty
have been underscored (i.e. are private), signature has
changed.
- engines
- The C extension now also works with DBAPIs which use custom
sequences as row (and not only tuples). [ticket:1757]
- sql
- Restored some bind-labeling logic from 0.5 which ensures
that tables with column names that overlap another column
of the form "<tablename>_<columnname>" won't produce
errors if column._label is used as a bind name during
an UPDATE. Test coverage which wasn't present in 0.5
has been added. [ticket:1755]
- somejoin.select(fold_equivalents=True) is no longer
deprecated, and will eventually be rolled into a more
comprehensive version of the feature for [ticket:1729].
- the Numeric type raises an *enormous* warning when expected
to convert floats to Decimal from a DBAPI that returns floats.
This includes SQLite, Sybase, MS-SQL. [ticket:1759]
- Fixed an error in expression typing which caused an endless
loop for expressions with two NULL types.
- Fixed bug in execution_options() feature whereby the existing
Transaction and other state information from the parent
connection would not be propagated to the sub-connection.
- Added new 'compiled_cache' execution option. A dictionary
where Compiled objects will be cached when the Connection
compiles a clause expression into a dialect- and parameter-
specific Compiled object. It is the user's responsibility to
manage the size of this dictionary, which will have keys
corresponding to the dialect, clause element, the column
names within the VALUES or SET clause of an INSERT or UPDATE,
as well as the "batch" mode for an INSERT or UPDATE statement.
- Added get_pk_constraint() to reflection.Inspector, similar
to get_primary_keys() except returns a dict that includes the
name of the constraint, for supported backends (PG so far).
[ticket:1769]
- Table.create() and Table.drop() no longer apply metadata-
level create/drop events. [ticket:1771]
- ext
- the compiler extension now allows @compiles decorators
on base classes that extend to child classes, @compiles
decorators on child classes that aren't broken by a
@compiles decorator on the base class.
- Declarative will raise an informative error message
if a non-mapped class attribute is referenced in the
string-based relationship() arguments.
- Further reworked the "mixin" logic in declarative to
additionally allow __mapper_args__ as a @classproperty
on a mixin, such as to dynamically assign polymorphic_identity.
- postgresql
- Postgresql now reflects sequence names associated with
SERIAL columns correctly, after the name of of the sequence
has been changed. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the patch.
[ticket:1071]
- Repaired missing import in psycopg2._PGNumeric type when
unknown numeric is received.
- psycopg2/pg8000 dialects now aware of REAL[], FLOAT[],
DOUBLE_PRECISION[], NUMERIC[] return types without
raising an exception.
- Postgresql reflects the name of primary key constraints,
if one exists. [ticket:1769]
- oracle
- Now using cx_oracle output converters so that the
DBAPI returns natively the kinds of values we prefer:
- NUMBER values with positive precision + scale convert
to cx_oracle.STRING and then to Decimal. This
allows perfect precision for the Numeric type when
using cx_oracle. [ticket:1759]
- STRING/FIXED_CHAR now convert to unicode natively.
SQLAlchemy's String types then don't need to
apply any kind of conversions.
- firebird
- The functionality of result.rowcount can be disabled on a
per-engine basis by setting 'enable_rowcount=False'
on create_engine(). Normally, cursor.rowcount is called
after any UPDATE or DELETE statement unconditionally,
because the cursor is then closed and Firebird requires
an open cursor in order to get a rowcount. This
call is slightly expensive however so it can be disabled.
To re-enable on a per-execution basis, the
'enable_rowcount=True' execution option may be used.
- examples
- Updated attribute_shard.py example to use a more robust
method of searching a Query for binary expressions which
compare columns against literal values.
0.6beta3
========
- orm
- Major feature: Added new "subquery" loading capability to
relationship(). This is an eager loading option which
generates a second SELECT for each collection represented
in a query, across all parents at once. The query
re-issues the original end-user query wrapped in a subquery,
applies joins out to the target collection, and loads
all those collections fully in one result, similar to
"joined" eager loading but using all inner joins and not
re-fetching full parent rows repeatedly (as most DBAPIs seem
to do, even if columns are skipped). Subquery loading is
available at mapper config level using "lazy='subquery'" and
at the query options level using "subqueryload(props..)",
"subqueryload_all(props...)". [ticket:1675]
- To accomodate the fact that there are now two kinds of eager
loading available, the new names for eagerload() and
eagerload_all() are joinedload() and joinedload_all(). The
old names will remain as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- The "lazy" flag on the relationship() function now accepts
a string argument for all kinds of loading: "select", "joined",
"subquery", "noload" and "dynamic", where the default is now
"select". The old values of True/
False/None still retain their usual meanings and will remain
as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- Added with_hint() method to Query() construct. This calls
directly down to select().with_hint() and also accepts
entities as well as tables and aliases. See with_hint() in the
SQL section below. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug in Query whereby calling q.join(prop).from_self(...).
join(prop) would fail to render the second join outside the
subquery, when joining on the same criterion as was on the
inside.
- Fixed bug in Query whereby the usage of aliased() constructs
would fail if the underlying table (but not the actual alias)
were referenced inside the subquery generated by
q.from_self() or q.select_from().
- Fixed bug which affected all eagerload() and similar options
such that "remote" eager loads, i.e. eagerloads off of a lazy
load such as query(A).options(eagerload(A.b, B.c))
wouldn't eagerload anything, but using eagerload("b.c") would
work fine.
- Query gains an add_columns(*columns) method which is a multi-
version of add_column(col). add_column(col) is future
deprecated.
- Query.join() will detect if the end result will be
"FROM A JOIN A", and will raise an error if so.
- Query.join(Cls.propname, from_joinpoint=True) will check more
carefully that "Cls" is compatible with the current joinpoint,
and act the same way as Query.join("propname", from_joinpoint=True)
in that regard.
- sql
- Added with_hint() method to select() construct. Specify
a table/alias, hint text, and optional dialect name, and
"hints" will be rendered in the appropriate place in the
statement. Works for Oracle, Sybase, MySQL. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug introduced in 0.6beta2 where column labels would
render inside of column expressions already assigned a label.
[ticket:1747]
- postgresql
- The psycopg2 dialect will log NOTICE messages via the
"sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql" logger name.
[ticket:877]
- the TIME and TIMESTAMP types are now availble from the
postgresql dialect directly, which add the PG-specific
argument 'precision' to both. 'precision' and
'timezone' are correctly reflected for both TIME and
TIMEZONE types. [ticket:997]
- mysql
- No longer guessing that TINYINT(1) should be BOOLEAN
when reflecting - TINYINT(1) is returned. Use Boolean/
BOOLEAN in table definition to get boolean conversion
behavior. [ticket:1752]
- oracle
- The Oracle dialect will issue VARCHAR type definitions
using character counts, i.e. VARCHAR2(50 CHAR), so that
the column is sized in terms of characters and not bytes.
Column reflection of character types will also use
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.CHAR_LENGTH instead of
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.DATA_LENGTH. Both of these behaviors take
effect when the server version is 9 or higher - for
version 8, the old behaviors are used. [ticket:1744]
- declarative
- Using a mixin won't break if the mixin implements an
unpredictable __getattribute__(), i.e. Zope interfaces.
[ticket:1746]
- Using @classdecorator and similar on mixins to define
__tablename__, __table_args__, etc. now works if
the method references attributes on the ultimate
subclass. [ticket:1749]
- relationships and columns with foreign keys aren't
allowed on declarative mixins, sorry. [ticket:1751]
- ext
- The sqlalchemy.orm.shard module now becomes an extension,
sqlalchemy.ext.horizontal_shard. The old import
works with a deprecation warning.
0.6beta2
========
- py3k
- Improved the installation/test setup regarding Python 3,
now that Distribute runs on Py3k. distribute_setup.py
is now included. See README.py3k for Python 3 installation/
testing instructions.
- orm
- The official name for the relation() function is now
relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational
algebra term. relation() however will remain available
in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
- Added "version_id_generator" argument to Mapper, this is a
callable that, given the current value of the "version_id_col",
returns the next version number. Can be used for alternate
versioning schemes such as uuid, timestamps. [ticket:1692]
- added "lockmode" kw argument to Session.refresh(), will
pass through the string value to Query the same as
in with_lockmode(), will also do version check for a
version_id_col-enabled mapping.
- Fixed bug whereby calling query(A).join(A.bs).add_entity(B)
in a joined inheritance scenario would double-add B as a
target and produce an invalid query. [ticket:1188]
- Fixed bug in session.rollback() which involved not removing
formerly "pending" objects from the session before
re-integrating "deleted" objects, typically occured with
natural primary keys. If there was a primary key conflict
between them, the attach of the deleted would fail
internally. The formerly "pending" objects are now expunged
first. [ticket:1674]
- Removed a lot of logging that nobody really cares about,
logging that remains will respond to live changes in the
log level. No significant overhead is added. [ticket:1719]
- Fixed bug in session.merge() which prevented dict-like
collections from merging.
- session.merge() works with relations that specifically
don't include "merge" in their cascade options - the target
is ignored completely.
- session.merge() will not expire existing scalar attributes
on an existing target if the target has a value for that
attribute, even if the incoming merged doesn't have
a value for the attribute. This prevents unnecessary loads
on existing items. Will still mark the attr as expired
if the destination doesn't have the attr, though, which
fulfills some contracts of deferred cols. [ticket:1681]
- The "allow_null_pks" flag is now called "allow_partial_pks",
defaults to True, acts like it did in 0.5 again. Except,
it also is implemented within merge() such that a SELECT
won't be issued for an incoming instance with partially
NULL primary key if the flag is False. [ticket:1680]
- Fixed bug in 0.6-reworked "many-to-one" optimizations
such that a many-to-one that is against a non-primary key
column on the remote table (i.e. foreign key against a
UNIQUE column) will pull the "old" value in from the
database during a change, since if it's in the session
we will need it for proper history/backref accounting,
and we can't pull from the local identity map on a
non-primary key column. [ticket:1737]
- fixed internal error which would occur if calling has()
or similar complex expression on a single-table inheritance
relation(). [ticket:1731]
- query.one() no longer applies LIMIT to the query, this to
ensure that it fully counts all object identities present
in the result, even in the case where joins may conceal
multiple identities for two or more rows. As a bonus,
one() can now also be called with a query that issued
from_statement() to start with since it no longer modifies
the query. [ticket:1688]
- query.get() now returns None if queried for an identifier
that is present in the identity map with a different class
than the one requested, i.e. when using polymorphic loading.
[ticket:1727]
- A major fix in query.join(), when the "on" clause is an
attribute of an aliased() construct, but there is already
an existing join made out to a compatible target, query properly
joins to the right aliased() construct instead of sticking
onto the right side of the existing join. [ticket:1706]
- Slight improvement to the fix for [ticket:1362] to not issue
needless updates of the primary key column during a so-called
"row switch" operation, i.e. add + delete of two objects
with the same PK.
- Now uses sqlalchemy.orm.exc.DetachedInstanceError when an
attribute load or refresh action fails due to object
being detached from any Session. UnboundExecutionError
is specific to engines bound to sessions and statements.
- Query called in the context of an expression will render
disambiguating labels in all cases. Note that this does
not apply to the existing .statement and .subquery()
accessor/method, which still honors the .with_labels()
setting that defaults to False.
- Query.union() retains disambiguating labels within the
returned statement, thus avoiding various SQL composition
errors which can result from column name conflicts.
[ticket:1676]
- Fixed bug in attribute history that inadvertently invoked
__eq__ on mapped instances.
- Some internal streamlining of object loading grants a
small speedup for large results, estimates are around
10-15%. Gave the "state" internals a good solid
cleanup with less complexity, datamembers,
method calls, blank dictionary creates.
- Documentation clarification for query.delete()
[ticket:1689]
- Fixed cascade bug in many-to-one relation() when attribute
was set to None, introduced in r6711 (cascade deleted
items into session during add()).
- Calling query.order_by() or query.distinct() before calling
query.select_from(), query.with_polymorphic(), or
query.from_statement() raises an exception now instead of
silently dropping those criterion. [ticket:1736]
- query.scalar() now raises an exception if more than one
row is returned. All other behavior remains the same.
[ticket:1735]
- Fixed bug which caused "row switch" logic, that is an
INSERT and DELETE replaced by an UPDATE, to fail when
version_id_col was in use. [ticket:1692]
- sql
- join() will now simulate a NATURAL JOIN by default. Meaning,
if the left side is a join, it will attempt to join the right
side to the rightmost side of the left first, and not raise
any exceptions about ambiguous join conditions if successful
even if there are further join targets across the rest of
the left. [ticket:1714]
- The most common result processors conversion function were
moved to the new "processors" module. Dialect authors are
encouraged to use those functions whenever they correspond
to their needs instead of implementing custom ones.
- SchemaType and subclasses Boolean, Enum are now serializable,
including their ddl listener and other event callables.
[ticket:1694] [ticket:1698]
- Some platforms will now interpret certain literal values
as non-bind parameters, rendered literally into the SQL
statement. This to support strict SQL-92 rules that are
enforced by some platforms including MS-SQL and Sybase.
In this model, bind parameters aren't allowed in the
columns clause of a SELECT, nor are certain ambiguous
expressions like "?=?". When this mode is enabled, the base
compiler will render the binds as inline literals, but only across
strings and numeric values. Other types such as dates
will raise an error, unless the dialect subclass defines
a literal rendering function for those. The bind parameter
must have an embedded literal value already or an error
is raised (i.e. won't work with straight bindparam('x')).
Dialects can also expand upon the areas where binds are not
accepted, such as within argument lists of functions
(which don't work on MS-SQL when native SQL binding is used).
- Added "unicode_errors" parameter to String, Unicode, etc.
Behaves like the 'errors' keyword argument to
the standard library's string.decode() functions. This flag
requires that `convert_unicode` is set to `"force"` - otherwise,
SQLAlchemy is not guaranteed to handle the task of unicode
conversion. Note that this flag adds significant performance
overhead to row-fetching operations for backends that already
return unicode objects natively (which most DBAPIs do). This
flag should only be used as an absolute last resort for reading
strings from a column with varied or corrupted encodings,
which only applies to databases that accept invalid encodings
in the first place (i.e. MySQL. *not* PG, Sqlite, etc.)
- Added math negation operator support, -x.
- FunctionElement subclasses are now directly executable the
same way any func.foo() construct is, with automatic
SELECT being applied when passed to execute().
- The "type" and "bind" keyword arguments of a func.foo()
construct are now local to "func." constructs and are
not part of the FunctionElement base class, allowing
a "type" to be handled in a custom constructor or
class-level variable.
- Restored the keys() method to ResultProxy.
- The type/expression system now does a more complete job
of determining the return type from an expression
as well as the adaptation of the Python operator into
a SQL operator, based on the full left/right/operator
of the given expression. In particular
the date/time/interval system created for Postgresql
EXTRACT in [ticket:1647] has now been generalized into
the type system. The previous behavior which often
occured of an expression "column + literal" forcing
the type of "literal" to be the same as that of "column"
will now usually not occur - the type of
"literal" is first derived from the Python type of the
literal, assuming standard native Python types + date
types, before falling back to that of the known type
on the other side of the expression. If the
"fallback" type is compatible (i.e. CHAR from String),
the literal side will use that. TypeDecorator
types override this by default to coerce the "literal"
side unconditionally, which can be changed by implementing
the coerce_compared_value() method. Also part of
[ticket:1683].
- Made sqlalchemy.sql.expressions.Executable part of public
API, used for any expression construct that can be sent to
execute(). FunctionElement now inherits Executable so that
it gains execution_options(), which are also propagated
to the select() that's generated within execute().
Executable in turn subclasses _Generative which marks
any ClauseElement that supports the @_generative
decorator - these may also become "public" for the benefit
of the compiler extension at some point.
- A change to the solution for [ticket:1579] - an end-user
defined bind parameter name that directly conflicts with
a column-named bind generated directly from the SET or
VALUES clause of an update/insert generates a compile error.
This reduces call counts and eliminates some cases where
undesirable name conflicts could still occur.
- Column() requires a type if it has no foreign keys (this is
not new). An error is now raised if a Column() has no type
and no foreign keys. [ticket:1705]
- the "scale" argument of the Numeric() type is honored when
coercing a returned floating point value into a string
on its way to Decimal - this allows accuracy to function
on SQLite, MySQL. [ticket:1717]
- the copy() method of Column now copies over uninitialized
"on table attach" events. Helps with the new declarative
"mixin" capability.
- engines
- Added an optional C extension to speed up the sql layer by
reimplementing RowProxy and the most common result processors.
The actual speedups will depend heavily on your DBAPI and
the mix of datatypes used in your tables, and can vary from
a 30% improvement to more than 200%. It also provides a modest
(~15-20%) indirect improvement to ORM speed for large queries.
Note that it is *not* built/installed by default.
See README for installation instructions.
- the execution sequence pulls all rowcount/last inserted ID
info from the cursor before commit() is called on the
DBAPI connection in an "autocommit" scenario. This helps
mxodbc with rowcount and is probably a good idea overall.
- Opened up logging a bit such that isEnabledFor() is called
more often, so that changes to the log level for engine/pool
will be reflected on next connect. This adds a small
amount of method call overhead. It's negligible and will make
life a lot easier for all those situations when logging
just happens to be configured after create_engine() is called.
[ticket:1719]
- The assert_unicode flag is deprecated. SQLAlchemy will raise
a warning in all cases where it is asked to encode a non-unicode
Python string, as well as when a Unicode or UnicodeType type
is explicitly passed a bytestring. The String type will do nothing
for DBAPIs that already accept Python unicode objects.
- Bind parameters are sent as a tuple instead of a list. Some
backend drivers will not accept bind parameters as a list.
- threadlocal engine wasn't properly closing the connection
upon close() - fixed that.
- Transaction object doesn't rollback or commit if it isn't
"active", allows more accurate nesting of begin/rollback/commit.
- Python unicode objects as binds result in the Unicode type,
not string, thus eliminating a certain class of unicode errors
on drivers that don't support unicode binds.
- Added "logging_name" argument to create_engine(), Pool() constructor
as well as "pool_logging_name" argument to create_engine() which
filters down to that of Pool. Issues the given string name
within the "name" field of logging messages instead of the default
hex identifier string. [ticket:1555]
- The visit_pool() method of Dialect is removed, and replaced with
on_connect(). This method returns a callable which receives
the raw DBAPI connection after each one is created. The callable
is assembled into a first_connect/connect pool listener by the
connection strategy if non-None. Provides a simpler interface
for dialects.
- StaticPool now initializes, disposes and recreates without
opening a new connection - the connection is only opened when
first requested. dispose() also works on AssertionPool now.
[ticket:1728]
- metadata
- Added the ability to strip schema information when using
"tometadata" by passing "schema=None" as an argument. If schema
is not specified then the table's schema is retained.
[ticket: 1673]
- declarative
- DeclarativeMeta exclusively uses cls.__dict__ (not dict_)
as the source of class information; _as_declarative exclusively
uses the dict_ passed to it as the source of class information
(which when using DeclarativeMeta is cls.__dict__). This should
in theory make it easier for custom metaclasses to modify
the state passed into _as_declarative.
- declarative now accepts mixin classes directly, as a means
to provide common functional and column-based elements on
all subclasses, as well as a means to propagate a fixed
set of __table_args__ or __mapper_args__ to subclasses.
For custom combinations of __table_args__/__mapper_args__ from
an inherited mixin to local, descriptors can now be used.
New details are all up in the Declarative documentation.
Thanks to Chris Withers for putting up with my strife
on this. [ticket:1707]
- the __mapper_args__ dict is copied when propagating to a subclass,
and is taken straight off the class __dict__ to avoid any
propagation from the parent. mapper inheritance already
propagates the things you want from the parent mapper.
[ticket:1393]
- An exception is raised when a single-table subclass specifies
a column that is already present on the base class.
[ticket:1732]
- mysql
- Fixed reflection bug whereby when COLLATE was present,
nullable flag and server defaults would not be reflected.
[ticket:1655]
- Fixed reflection of TINYINT(1) "boolean" columns defined with
integer flags like UNSIGNED.
- Further fixes for the mysql-connector dialect. [ticket:1668]
- Composite PK table on InnoDB where the "autoincrement" column
isn't first will emit an explicit "KEY" phrase within
CREATE TABLE thereby avoiding errors, [ticket:1496]
- Added reflection/create table support for a wide range
of MySQL keywords. [ticket:1634]
- Fixed import error which could occur reflecting tables on
a Windows host [ticket:1580]
- mssql
- Re-established support for the pymssql dialect.
- Various fixes for implicit returning, reflection,
etc. - the MS-SQL dialects aren't quite complete
in 0.6 yet (but are close)
- Added basic support for mxODBC [ticket:1710].
- Removed the text_as_varchar option.
- oracle
- "out" parameters require a type that is supported by
cx_oracle. An error will be raised if no cx_oracle
type can be found.
- Oracle 'DATE' now does not perform any result processing,
as the DATE type in Oracle stores full date+time objects,
that's what you'll get. Note that the generic types.Date
type *will* still call value.date() on incoming values,
however. When reflecting a table, the reflected type
will be 'DATE'.
- Added preliminary support for Oracle's WITH_UNICODE
mode. At the very least this establishes initial
support for cx_Oracle with Python 3. When WITH_UNICODE
mode is used in Python 2.xx, a large and scary warning
is emitted asking that the user seriously consider
the usage of this difficult mode of operation.
[ticket:1670]
- The except_() method now renders as MINUS on Oracle,
which is more or less equivalent on that platform.
[ticket:1712]
- Added support for rendering and reflecting
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, i.e. TIMESTAMP(timezone=True).
[ticket:651]
- Oracle INTERVAL type can now be reflected.
- sqlite
- Added "native_datetime=True" flag to create_engine().
This will cause the DATE and TIMESTAMP types to skip
all bind parameter and result row processing, under
the assumption that PARSE_DECLTYPES has been enabled
on the connection. Note that this is not entirely
compatible with the "func.current_date()", which
will be returned as a string. [ticket:1685]
- sybase
- Implemented a preliminary working dialect for Sybase,
with sub-implementations for Python-Sybase as well
as Pyodbc. Handles table
creates/drops and basic round trip functionality.
Does not yet include reflection or comprehensive
support of unicode/special expressions/etc.
- examples
- Changed the beaker cache example a bit to have a separate
RelationCache option for lazyload caching. This object
does a lookup among any number of potential attributes
more efficiently by grouping several into a common structure.
Both FromCache and RelationCache are simpler individually.
- documentation
- Major cleanup work in the docs to link class, function, and
method names into the API docs. [ticket:1700/1702/1703]
0.6beta1
========
- Major Release
- For the full set of feature descriptions, see
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/06Migration .
This document is a work in progress.
- All bug fixes and feature enhancements from the most
recent 0.5 version and below are also included within 0.6.
- Platforms targeted now include Python 2.4/2.5/2.6, Python
3.1, Jython2.5.
- orm
- Changes to query.update() and query.delete():
- the 'expire' option on query.update() has been renamed to
'fetch', thus matching that of query.delete().
'expire' is deprecated and issues a warning.
- query.update() and query.delete() both default to
'evaluate' for the synchronize strategy.
- the 'synchronize' strategy for update() and delete()
raises an error on failure. There is no implicit fallback
onto "fetch". Failure of evaluation is based on the
structure of criteria, so success/failure is deterministic
based on code structure.
- Enhancements on many-to-one relations:
- many-to-one relations now fire off a lazyload in fewer
cases, including in most cases will not fetch the "old"
value when a new one is replaced.
- many-to-one relation to a joined-table subclass now uses
get() for a simple load (known as the "use_get"
condition), i.e. Related->Sub(Base), without the need to
redefine the primaryjoin condition in terms of the base
table. [ticket:1186]
- specifying a foreign key with a declarative column, i.e.
ForeignKey(MyRelatedClass.id) doesn't break the "use_get"
condition from taking place [ticket:1492]
- relation(), eagerload(), and eagerload_all() now feature
an option called "innerjoin". Specify `True` or `False` to
control whether an eager join is constructed as an INNER
or OUTER join. Default is `False` as always. The mapper
options will override whichever setting is specified on
relation(). Should generally be set for many-to-one, not
nullable foreign key relations to allow improved join
performance. [ticket:1544]
- the behavior of eagerloading such that the main query is
wrapped in a subquery when LIMIT/OFFSET are present now
makes an exception for the case when all eager loads are
many-to-one joins. In those cases, the eager joins are
against the parent table directly along with the
limit/offset without the extra overhead of a subquery,
since a many-to-one join does not add rows to the result.
- Enhancements / Changes on Session.merge():
- the "dont_load=True" flag on Session.merge() is deprecated
and is now "load=False".
- Session.merge() is performance optimized, using half the
call counts for "load=False" mode compared to 0.5 and
significantly fewer SQL queries in the case of collections
for "load=True" mode.
- merge() will not issue a needless merge of attributes if the
given instance is the same instance which is already present.
- merge() now also merges the "options" associated with a given
state, i.e. those passed through query.options() which follow
along with an instance, such as options to eagerly- or
lazyily- load various attributes. This is essential for
the construction of highly integrated caching schemes. This
is a subtle behavioral change vs. 0.5.
- A bug was fixed regarding the serialization of the "loader
path" present on an instance's state, which is also necessary
when combining the usage of merge() with serialized state
and associated options that should be preserved.
- The all new merge() is showcased in a new comprehensive
example of how to integrate Beaker with SQLAlchemy. See
the notes in the "examples" note below.
- Primary key values can now be changed on a joined-table inheritance
object, and ON UPDATE CASCADE will be taken into account when
the flush happens. Set the new "passive_updates" flag to False
on mapper() when using SQLite or MySQL/MyISAM. [ticket:1362]
- flush() now detects when a primary key column was updated by
an ON UPDATE CASCADE operation from another primary key, and
can then locate the row for a subsequent UPDATE on the new PK
value. This occurs when a relation() is there to establish
the relationship as well as passive_updates=True. [ticket:1671]
- the "save-update" cascade will now cascade the pending *removed*
values from a scalar or collection attribute into the new session
during an add() operation. This so that the flush() operation
will also delete or modify rows of those disconnected items.
- Using a "dynamic" loader with a "secondary" table now produces
a query where the "secondary" table is *not* aliased. This
allows the secondary Table object to be used in the "order_by"
attribute of the relation(), and also allows it to be used
in filter criterion against the dynamic relation.
[ticket:1531]
- relation() with uselist=False will emit a warning when
an eager or lazy load locates more than one valid value for
the row. This may be due to primaryjoin/secondaryjoin
conditions which aren't appropriate for an eager LEFT OUTER
JOIN or for other conditions. [ticket:1643]
- an explicit check occurs when a synonym() is used with
map_column=True, when a ColumnProperty (deferred or otherwise)
exists separately in the properties dictionary sent to mapper
with the same keyname. Instead of silently replacing
the existing property (and possible options on that property),
an error is raised. [ticket:1633]
- a "dynamic" loader sets up its query criterion at construction
time so that the actual query is returned from non-cloning
accessors like "statement".
- the "named tuple" objects returned when iterating a
Query() are now pickleable.
- mapping to a select() construct now requires that you
make an alias() out of it distinctly. This to eliminate
confusion over such issues as [ticket:1542]
- query.join() has been reworked to provide more consistent
behavior and more flexibility (includes [ticket:1537])
- query.select_from() accepts multiple clauses to produce
multiple comma separated entries within the FROM clause.
Useful when selecting from multiple-homed join() clauses.
- query.select_from() also accepts mapped classes, aliased()
constructs, and mappers as arguments. In particular this
helps when querying from multiple joined-table classes to ensure
the full join gets rendered.
- query.get() can be used with a mapping to an outer join
where one or more of the primary key values are None.
[ticket:1135]
- query.from_self(), query.union(), others which do a
"SELECT * from (SELECT...)" type of nesting will do
a better job translating column expressions within the subquery
to the columns clause of the outer query. This is
potentially backwards incompatible with 0.5, in that this
may break queries with literal expressions that do not have labels
applied (i.e. literal('foo'), etc.)
[ticket:1568]
- relation primaryjoin and secondaryjoin now check that they
are column-expressions, not just clause elements. this prohibits
things like FROM expressions being placed there directly.
[ticket:1622]
- `expression.null()` is fully understood the same way
None is when comparing an object/collection-referencing
attribute within query.filter(), filter_by(), etc.
[ticket:1415]
- added "make_transient()" helper function which transforms a
persistent/ detached instance into a transient one (i.e.
deletes the instance_key and removes from any session.)
[ticket:1052]
- the allow_null_pks flag on mapper() is deprecated, and
the feature is turned "on" by default. This means that
a row which has a non-null value for any of its primary key
columns will be considered an identity. The need for this
scenario typically only occurs when mapping to an outer join.
[ticket:1339]
- the mechanics of "backref" have been fully merged into the
finer grained "back_populates" system, and take place entirely
within the _generate_backref() method of RelationProperty. This
makes the initialization procedure of RelationProperty
simpler and allows easier propagation of settings (such as from
subclasses of RelationProperty) into the reverse reference.
The internal BackRef() is gone and backref() returns a plain
tuple that is understood by RelationProperty.
- The version_id_col feature on mapper() will raise a warning when
used with dialects that don't support "rowcount" adequately.
[ticket:1569]
- added "execution_options()" to Query, to so options can be
passed to the resulting statement. Currently only
Select-statements have these options, and the only option
used is "stream_results", and the only dialect which knows
"stream_results" is psycopg2.
- Query.yield_per() will set the "stream_results" statement
option automatically.
- Deprecated or removed:
* 'allow_null_pks' flag on mapper() is deprecated. It does
nothing now and the setting is "on" in all cases.
* 'transactional' flag on sessionmaker() and others is
removed. Use 'autocommit=True' to indicate 'transactional=False'.
* 'polymorphic_fetch' argument on mapper() is removed.
Loading can be controlled using the 'with_polymorphic'
option.
* 'select_table' argument on mapper() is removed. Use
'with_polymorphic=("*", <some selectable>)' for this
functionality.
* 'proxy' argument on synonym() is removed. This flag
did nothing throughout 0.5, as the "proxy generation"
behavior is now automatic.
* Passing a single list of elements to eagerload(),
eagerload_all(), contains_eager(), lazyload(),
defer(), and undefer() instead of multiple positional
*args is deprecated.
* Passing a single list of elements to query.order_by(),
query.group_by(), query.join(), or query.outerjoin()
instead of multiple positional *args is deprecated.
* query.iterate_instances() is removed. Use query.instances().
* Query.query_from_parent() is removed. Use the
sqlalchemy.orm.with_parent() function to produce a
"parent" clause, or alternatively query.with_parent().
* query._from_self() is removed, use query.from_self()
instead.
* the "comparator" argument to composite() is removed.
Use "comparator_factory".
* RelationProperty._get_join() is removed.
* the 'echo_uow' flag on Session is removed. Use
logging on the "sqlalchemy.orm.unitofwork" name.
* session.clear() is removed. use session.expunge_all().
* session.save(), session.update(), session.save_or_update()
are removed. Use session.add() and session.add_all().
* the "objects" flag on session.flush() remains deprecated.
* the "dont_load=True" flag on session.merge() is deprecated
in favor of "load=False".
* ScopedSession.mapper remains deprecated. See the
usage recipe at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/SessionAwareMapper
* passing an InstanceState (internal SQLAlchemy state object) to
attributes.init_collection() or attributes.get_history() is
deprecated. These functions are public API and normally
expect a regular mapped object instance.
* the 'engine' parameter to declarative_base() is removed.
Use the 'bind' keyword argument.
- sql
- the "autocommit" flag on select() and text() as well
as select().autocommit() are deprecated - now call
.execution_options(autocommit=True) on either of those
constructs, also available directly on Connection and orm.Query.
- the autoincrement flag on column now indicates the column
which should be linked to cursor.lastrowid, if that method
is used. See the API docs for details.
- an executemany() now requires that all bound parameter
sets require that all keys are present which are
present in the first bound parameter set. The structure
and behavior of an insert/update statement is very much
determined by the first parameter set, including which
defaults are going to fire off, and a minimum of
guesswork is performed with all the rest so that performance
is not impacted. For this reason defaults would otherwise
silently "fail" for missing parameters, so this is now guarded
against. [ticket:1566]
- returning() support is native to insert(), update(),
delete(). Implementations of varying levels of
functionality exist for Postgresql, Firebird, MSSQL and
Oracle. returning() can be called explicitly with column
expressions which are then returned in the resultset,
usually via fetchone() or first().
insert() constructs will also use RETURNING implicitly to
get newly generated primary key values, if the database
version in use supports it (a version number check is
performed). This occurs if no end-user returning() was
specified.
- union(), intersect(), except() and other "compound" types
of statements have more consistent behavior w.r.t.
parenthesizing. Each compound element embedded within
another will now be grouped with parenthesis - previously,
the first compound element in the list would not be grouped,
as SQLite doesn't like a statement to start with
parenthesis. However, Postgresql in particular has
precedence rules regarding INTERSECT, and it is
more consistent for parenthesis to be applied equally
to all sub-elements. So now, the workaround for SQLite
is also what the workaround for PG was previously -
when nesting compound elements, the first one usually needs
".alias().select()" called on it to wrap it inside
of a subquery. [ticket:1665]
- insert() and update() constructs can now embed bindparam()
objects using names that match the keys of columns. These
bind parameters will circumvent the usual route to those
keys showing up in the VALUES or SET clause of the generated
SQL. [ticket:1579]
- the Binary type now returns data as a Python string
(or a "bytes" type in Python 3), instead of the built-
in "buffer" type. This allows symmetric round trips
of binary data. [ticket:1524]
- Added a tuple_() construct, allows sets of expressions
to be compared to another set, typically with IN against
composite primary keys or similar. Also accepts an
IN with multiple columns. The "scalar select can
have only one column" error message is removed - will
rely upon the database to report problems with
col mismatch.
- User-defined "default" and "onupdate" callables which
accept a context should now call upon
"context.current_parameters" to get at the dictionary
of bind parameters currently being processed. This
dict is available in the same way regardless of
single-execute or executemany-style statement execution.
- multi-part schema names, i.e. with dots such as
"dbo.master", are now rendered in select() labels
with underscores for dots, i.e. "dbo_master_table_column".
This is a "friendly" label that behaves better
in result sets. [ticket:1428]
- removed needless "counter" behavior with select()
labelnames that match a column name in the table,
i.e. generates "tablename_id" for "id", instead of
"tablename_id_1" in an attempt to avoid naming
conflicts, when the table has a column actually
named "tablename_id" - this is because
the labeling logic is always applied to all columns
so a naming conflict will never occur.
- calling expr.in_([]), i.e. with an empty list, emits a warning
before issuing the usual "expr != expr" clause. The
"expr != expr" can be very expensive, and it's preferred
that the user not issue in_() if the list is empty,
instead simply not querying, or modifying the criterion
as appropriate for more complex situations.
[ticket:1628]
- Added "execution_options()" to select()/text(), which set the
default options for the Connection. See the note in "engines".
- Deprecated or removed:
* "scalar" flag on select() is removed, use
select.as_scalar().
* "shortname" attribute on bindparam() is removed.
* postgres_returning, firebird_returning flags on
insert(), update(), delete() are deprecated, use
the new returning() method.
* fold_equivalents flag on join is deprecated (will remain
until [ticket:1131] is implemented)
- engines
- transaction isolation level may be specified with
create_engine(... isolation_level="..."); available on
postgresql and sqlite. [ticket:443]
- Connection has execution_options(), generative method
which accepts keywords that affect how the statement
is executed w.r.t. the DBAPI. Currently supports
"stream_results", causes psycopg2 to use a server
side cursor for that statement, as well as
"autocommit", which is the new location for the "autocommit"
option from select() and text(). select() and
text() also have .execution_options() as well as
ORM Query().
- fixed the import for entrypoint-driven dialects to
not rely upon silly tb_info trick to determine import
error status. [ticket:1630]
- added first() method to ResultProxy, returns first row and
closes result set immediately.
- RowProxy objects are now pickleable, i.e. the object returned
by result.fetchone(), result.fetchall() etc.
- RowProxy no longer has a close() method, as the row no longer
maintains a reference to the parent. Call close() on
the parent ResultProxy instead, or use autoclose.
- ResultProxy internals have been overhauled to greatly reduce
method call counts when fetching columns. Can provide a large
speed improvement (up to more than 100%) when fetching large
result sets. The improvement is larger when fetching columns
that have no type-level processing applied and when using
results as tuples (instead of as dictionaries). Many
thanks to Elixir's Gaëtan de Menten for this dramatic
improvement ! [ticket:1586]
- Databases which rely upon postfetch of "last inserted id"
to get at a generated sequence value (i.e. MySQL, MS-SQL)
now work correctly when there is a composite primary key
where the "autoincrement" column is not the first primary
key column in the table.
- the last_inserted_ids() method has been renamed to the
descriptor "inserted_primary_key".
- setting echo=False on create_engine() now sets the loglevel
to WARN instead of NOTSET. This so that logging can be
disabled for a particular engine even if logging
for "sqlalchemy.engine" is enabled overall. Note that the
default setting of "echo" is `None`. [ticket:1554]
- ConnectionProxy now has wrapper methods for all transaction
lifecycle events, including begin(), rollback(), commit()
begin_nested(), begin_prepared(), prepare(), release_savepoint(),
etc.
- Connection pool logging now uses both INFO and DEBUG
log levels for logging. INFO is for major events such
as invalidated connections, DEBUG for all the acquire/return
logging. `echo_pool` can be False, None, True or "debug"
the same way as `echo` works.
- All pyodbc-dialects now support extra pyodbc-specific
kw arguments 'ansi', 'unicode_results', 'autocommit'.
[ticket:1621]
- the "threadlocal" engine has been rewritten and simplified
and now supports SAVEPOINT operations.
- deprecated or removed
* result.last_inserted_ids() is deprecated. Use
result.inserted_primary_key
* dialect.get_default_schema_name(connection) is now
public via dialect.default_schema_name.
* the "connection" argument from engine.transaction() and
engine.run_callable() is removed - Connection itself
now has those methods. All four methods accept
*args and **kwargs which are passed to the given callable,
as well as the operating connection.
- schema
- the `__contains__()` method of `MetaData` now accepts
strings or `Table` objects as arguments. If given
a `Table`, the argument is converted to `table.key` first,
i.e. "[schemaname.]<tablename>" [ticket:1541]
- deprecated MetaData.connect() and
ThreadLocalMetaData.connect() have been removed - send
the "bind" attribute to bind a metadata.
- deprecated metadata.table_iterator() method removed (use
sorted_tables)
- deprecated PassiveDefault - use DefaultClause.
- the "metadata" argument is removed from DefaultGenerator
and subclasses, but remains locally present on Sequence,
which is a standalone construct in DDL.
- Removed public mutability from Index and Constraint
objects:
- ForeignKeyConstraint.append_element()
- Index.append_column()
- UniqueConstraint.append_column()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.add()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.remove()
These should be constructed declaratively (i.e. in one
construction).
- The "start" and "increment" attributes on Sequence now
generate "START WITH" and "INCREMENT BY" by default,
on Oracle and Postgresql. Firebird doesn't support
these keywords right now. [ticket:1545]
- UniqueConstraint, Index, PrimaryKeyConstraint all accept
lists of column names or column objects as arguments.
- Other removed things:
- Table.key (no idea what this was for)
- Table.primary_key is not assignable - use
table.append_constraint(PrimaryKeyConstraint(...))
- Column.bind (get via column.table.bind)
- Column.metadata (get via column.table.metadata)
- Column.sequence (use column.default)
- ForeignKey(constraint=some_parent) (is now private _constraint)
- The use_alter flag on ForeignKey is now a shortcut option
for operations that can be hand-constructed using the
DDL() event system. A side effect of this refactor is
that ForeignKeyConstraint objects with use_alter=True
will *not* be emitted on SQLite, which does not support
ALTER for foreign keys.
- ForeignKey and ForeignKeyConstraint objects now correctly
copy() all their public keyword arguments. [ticket:1605]
- Reflection/Inspection
- Table reflection has been expanded and generalized into
a new API called "sqlalchemy.engine.reflection.Inspector".
The Inspector object provides fine-grained information about
a wide variety of schema information, with room for expansion,
including table names, column names, view definitions, sequences,
indexes, etc.
- Views are now reflectable as ordinary Table objects. The same
Table constructor is used, with the caveat that "effective"
primary and foreign key constraints aren't part of the reflection
results; these have to be specified explicitly if desired.
- The existing autoload=True system now uses Inspector underneath
so that each dialect need only return "raw" data about tables
and other objects - Inspector is the single place that information
is compiled into Table objects so that consistency is at a maximum.
- DDL
- the DDL system has been greatly expanded. the DDL() class
now extends the more generic DDLElement(), which forms the basis
of many new constructs:
- CreateTable()
- DropTable()
- AddConstraint()
- DropConstraint()
- CreateIndex()
- DropIndex()
- CreateSequence()
- DropSequence()
These support "on" and "execute-at()" just like plain DDL()
does. User-defined DDLElement subclasses can be created and
linked to a compiler using the sqlalchemy.ext.compiler extension.
- The signature of the "on" callable passed to DDL() and
DDLElement() is revised as follows:
"ddl" - the DDLElement object itself.
"event" - the string event name.
"target" - previously "schema_item", the Table or
MetaData object triggering the event.
"connection" - the Connection object in use for the operation.
**kw - keyword arguments. In the case of MetaData before/after
create/drop, the list of Table objects for which
CREATE/DROP DDL is to be issued is passed as the kw
argument "tables". This is necessary for metadata-level
DDL that is dependent on the presence of specific tables.
- the "schema_item" attribute of DDL has been renamed to
"target".
- dialect refactor
- Dialect modules are now broken into database dialects
plus DBAPI implementations. Connect URLs are now
preferred to be specified using dialect+driver://...,
i.e. "mysql+mysqldb://scott:tiger@localhost/test". See
the 0.6 documentation for examples.
- the setuptools entrypoint for external dialects is now
called "sqlalchemy.dialects".
- the "owner" keyword argument is removed from Table. Use
"schema" to represent any namespaces to be prepended to
the table name.
- server_version_info becomes a static attribute.
- dialects receive an initialize() event on initial
connection to determine connection properties.
- dialects receive a visit_pool event have an opportunity
to establish pool listeners.
- cached TypeEngine classes are cached per-dialect class
instead of per-dialect.
- new UserDefinedType should be used as a base class for
new types, which preserves the 0.5 behavior of
get_col_spec().
- The result_processor() method of all type classes now
accepts a second argument "coltype", which is the DBAPI
type argument from cursor.description. This argument
can help some types decide on the most efficient processing
of result values.
- Deprecated Dialect.get_params() removed.
- Dialect.get_rowcount() has been renamed to a descriptor
"rowcount", and calls cursor.rowcount directly. Dialects
which need to hardwire a rowcount in for certain calls
should override the method to provide different behavior.
- DefaultRunner and subclasses have been removed. The job
of this object has been simplified and moved into
ExecutionContext. Dialects which support sequences should
add a `fire_sequence()` method to their execution context
implementation. [ticket:1566]
- Functions and operators generated by the compiler now use
(almost) regular dispatch functions of the form
"visit_<opname>" and "visit_<funcname>_fn" to provide
customed processing. This replaces the need to copy the
"functions" and "operators" dictionaries in compiler
subclasses with straightforward visitor methods, and also
allows compiler subclasses complete control over
rendering, as the full _Function or _BinaryExpression
object is passed in.
- postgresql
- New dialects: pg8000, zxjdbc, and pypostgresql
on py3k.
- The "postgres" dialect is now named "postgresql" !
Connection strings look like:
postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test
postgresql+pg8000://scott:tiger@localhost/test
The "postgres" name remains for backwards compatiblity
in the following ways:
- There is a "postgres.py" dummy dialect which
allows old URLs to work, i.e.
postgres://scott:tiger@localhost/test
- The "postgres" name can be imported from the old
"databases" module, i.e. "from
sqlalchemy.databases import postgres" as well as
"dialects", "from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgres
import base as pg", will send a deprecation
warning.
- Special expression arguments are now named
"postgresql_returning" and "postgresql_where", but
the older "postgres_returning" and
"postgres_where" names still work with a
deprecation warning.
- "postgresql_where" now accepts SQL expressions which
can also include literals, which will be quoted as needed.
- The psycopg2 dialect now uses psycopg2's "unicode extension"
on all new connections, which allows all String/Text/etc.
types to skip the need to post-process bytestrings into
unicode (an expensive step due to its volume). Other
dialects which return unicode natively (pg8000, zxjdbc)
also skip unicode post-processing.
- Added new ENUM type, which exists as a schema-level
construct and extends the generic Enum type. Automatically
associates itself with tables and their parent metadata
to issue the appropriate CREATE TYPE/DROP TYPE
commands as needed, supports unicode labels, supports
reflection. [ticket:1511]
- INTERVAL supports an optional "precision" argument
corresponding to the argument that PG accepts.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
psycopg2 can't handle a bind parameter name of
%(foobar)s however and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead
just to treat that one non-existent use case.
[ticket:1279]
- Inserting NULL into a primary key + foreign key column
will allow the "not null constraint" error to raise,
not an attempt to execute a nonexistent "col_id_seq"
sequence. [ticket:1516]
- autoincrement SELECT statements, i.e. those which
select from a procedure that modifies rows, now work
with server-side cursor mode (the named cursor isn't
used for such statements.)
- postgresql dialect can properly detect pg "devel" version
strings, i.e. "8.5devel" [ticket:1636]
- The psycopg2 now respects the statement option
"stream_results". This option overrides the connection setting
"server_side_cursors". If true, server side cursors will be
used for the statement. If false, they will not be used, even
if "server_side_cursors" is true on the
connection. [ticket:1619]
- mysql
- New dialects: oursql, a new native dialect,
MySQL Connector/Python, a native Python port of MySQLdb,
and of course zxjdbc on Jython.
- VARCHAR/NVARCHAR will not render without a length, raises
an error before passing to MySQL. Doesn't impact
CAST since VARCHAR is not allowed in MySQL CAST anyway,
the dialect renders CHAR/NCHAR in those cases.
- all the _detect_XXX() functions now run once underneath
dialect.initialize()
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
MySQLdb can't handle % signs in SQL when executemany() is used,
and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead just to treat that one
non-existent use case. [ticket:1279]
- the BINARY and MSBinary types now generate "BINARY" in all
cases. Omitting the "length" parameter will generate
"BINARY" with no length. Use BLOB to generate an unlengthed
binary column.
- the "quoting='quoted'" argument to MSEnum/ENUM is deprecated.
It's best to rely upon the automatic quoting.
- ENUM now subclasses the new generic Enum type, and also handles
unicode values implicitly, if the given labelnames are unicode
objects.
- a column of type TIMESTAMP now defaults to NULL if
"nullable=False" is not passed to Column(), and no default
is present. This is now consistent with all other types,
and in the case of TIMESTAMP explictly renders "NULL"
due to MySQL's "switching" of default nullability
for TIMESTAMP columns. [ticket:1539]
- oracle
- unit tests pass 100% with cx_oracle !
- support for cx_Oracle's "native unicode" mode which does
not require NLS_LANG to be set. Use the latest 5.0.2 or
later of cx_oracle.
- an NCLOB type is added to the base types.
- use_ansi=False won't leak into the FROM/WHERE clause of
a statement that's selecting from a subquery that also
uses JOIN/OUTERJOIN.
- added native INTERVAL type to the dialect. This supports
only the DAY TO SECOND interval type so far due to lack
of support in cx_oracle for YEAR TO MONTH. [ticket:1467]
- usage of the CHAR type results in cx_oracle's
FIXED_CHAR dbapi type being bound to statements.
- the Oracle dialect now features NUMBER which intends
to act justlike Oracle's NUMBER type. It is the primary
numeric type returned by table reflection and attempts
to return Decimal()/float/int based on the precision/scale
parameters. [ticket:885]
- func.char_length is a generic function for LENGTH
- ForeignKey() which includes onupdate=<value> will emit a
warning, not emit ON UPDATE CASCADE which is unsupported
by oracle
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- using types.BigInteger with Oracle will generate
NUMBER(19) [ticket:1125]
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- firebird
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- mssql
- MSSQL + Pyodbc + FreeTDS now works for the most part,
with possible exceptions regarding binary data as well as
unicode schema identifiers.
- the "has_window_funcs" flag is removed. LIMIT/OFFSET
usage will use ROW NUMBER as always, and if on an older
version of SQL Server, the operation fails. The behavior
is exactly the same except the error is raised by SQL
server instead of the dialect, and no flag setting is
required to enable it.
- the "auto_identity_insert" flag is removed. This feature
always takes effect when an INSERT statement overrides a
column that is known to have a sequence on it. As with
"has_window_funcs", if the underlying driver doesn't
support this, then you can't do this operation in any
case, so there's no point in having a flag.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- removed references to sequence which is no longer used.
implicit identities in mssql work the same as implicit
sequences on any other dialects. Explicit sequences are
enabled through the use of "default=Sequence()". See
the MSSQL dialect documentation for more information.
- sqlite
- DATE, TIME and DATETIME types can now take optional storage_format
and regexp argument. storage_format can be used to store those types
using a custom string format. regexp allows to use a custom regular
expression to match string values from the database.
- Time and DateTime types now use by a default a stricter regular
expression to match strings from the database. Use the regexp
argument if you are using data stored in a legacy format.
- __legacy_microseconds__ on SQLite Time and DateTime types is not
supported anymore. You should use the storage_format argument
instead.
- Date, Time and DateTime types are now stricter in what they accept as
bind parameters: Date type only accepts date objects (and datetime
ones, because they inherit from date), Time only accepts time
objects, and DateTime only accepts date and datetime objects.
- Table() supports a keyword argument "sqlite_autoincrement", which
applies the SQLite keyword "AUTOINCREMENT" to the single integer
primary key column when generating DDL. Will prevent generation of
a separate PRIMARY KEY constraint. [ticket:1016]
- new dialects
- postgresql+pg8000
- postgresql+pypostgresql (partial)
- postgresql+zxjdbc
- mysql+pyodbc
- mysql+zxjdbc
- types
- The construction of types within dialects has been totally
overhauled. Dialects now define publically available types
as UPPERCASE names exclusively, and internal implementation
types using underscore identifiers (i.e. are private).
The system by which types are expressed in SQL and DDL
has been moved to the compiler system. This has the
effect that there are much fewer type objects within
most dialects. A detailed document on this architecture
for dialect authors is in
lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/type_migration_guidelines.txt .
- Types no longer make any guesses as to default
parameters. In particular, Numeric, Float, NUMERIC,
FLOAT, DECIMAL don't generate any length or scale unless
specified.
- types.Binary is renamed to types.LargeBinary, it only
produces BLOB, BYTEA, or a similar "long binary" type.
New base BINARY and VARBINARY
types have been added to access these MySQL/MS-SQL specific
types in an agnostic way [ticket:1664].
- String/Text/Unicode types now skip the unicode() check
on each result column value if the dialect has
detected the DBAPI as returning Python unicode objects
natively. This check is issued on first connect
using "SELECT CAST 'some text' AS VARCHAR(10)" or
equivalent, then checking if the returned object
is a Python unicode. This allows vast performance
increases for native-unicode DBAPIs, including
pysqlite/sqlite3, psycopg2, and pg8000.
- Most types result processors have been checked for possible speed
improvements. Specifically, the following generic types have been
optimized, resulting in varying speed improvements:
Unicode, PickleType, Interval, TypeDecorator, Binary.
Also the following dbapi-specific implementations have been improved:
Time, Date and DateTime on Sqlite, ARRAY on Postgresql,
Time on MySQL, Numeric(as_decimal=False) on MySQL, oursql and
pypostgresql, DateTime on cx_oracle and LOB-based types on cx_oracle.
- Reflection of types now returns the exact UPPERCASE
type within types.py, or the UPPERCASE type within
the dialect itself if the type is not a standard SQL
type. This means reflection now returns more accurate
information about reflected types.
- Added a new Enum generic type. Enum is a schema-aware object
to support databases which require specific DDL in order to
use enum or equivalent; in the case of PG it handles the
details of `CREATE TYPE`, and on other databases without
native enum support will by generate VARCHAR + an inline CHECK
constraint to enforce the enum.
[ticket:1109] [ticket:1511]
- The Interval type includes a "native" flag which controls
if native INTERVAL types (postgresql + oracle) are selected
if available, or not. "day_precision" and "second_precision"
arguments are also added which propagate as appropriately
to these native types. Related to [ticket:1467].
- The Boolean type, when used on a backend that doesn't
have native boolean support, will generate a CHECK
constraint "col IN (0, 1)" along with the int/smallint-
based column type. This can be switched off if
desired with create_constraint=False.
Note that MySQL has no native boolean *or* CHECK constraint
support so this feature isn't available on that platform.
[ticket:1589]
- PickleType now uses == for comparison of values when
mutable=True, unless the "comparator" argument with a
comparsion function is specified to the type. Objects
being pickled will be compared based on identity (which
defeats the purpose of mutable=True) if __eq__() is not
overridden or a comparison function is not provided.
- The default "precision" and "scale" arguments of Numeric
and Float have been removed and now default to None.
NUMERIC and FLOAT will be rendered with no numeric
arguments by default unless these values are provided.
- AbstractType.get_search_list() is removed - the games
that was used for are no longer necessary.
- Added a generic BigInteger type, compiles to
BIGINT or NUMBER(19). [ticket:1125]
-ext
- sqlsoup has been overhauled to explicitly support an 0.5 style
session, using autocommit=False, autoflush=True. Default
behavior of SQLSoup now requires the usual usage of commit()
and rollback(), which have been added to its interface. An
explcit Session or scoped_session can be passed to the
constructor, allowing these arguments to be overridden.
- sqlsoup db.<sometable>.update() and delete() now call
query(cls).update() and delete(), respectively.
- sqlsoup now has execute() and connection(), which call upon
the Session methods of those names, ensuring that the bind is
in terms of the SqlSoup object's bind.
- sqlsoup objects no longer have the 'query' attribute - it's
not needed for sqlsoup's usage paradigm and it gets in the
way of a column that is actually named 'query'.
- The signature of the proxy_factory callable passed to
association_proxy is now (lazy_collection, creator,
value_attr, association_proxy), adding a fourth argument
that is the parent AssociationProxy argument. Allows
serializability and subclassing of the built in collections.
[ticket:1259]
- association_proxy now has basic comparator methods .any(),
.has(), .contains(), ==, !=, thanks to Scott Torborg.
[ticket:1372]
- examples
- The "query_cache" examples have been removed, and are replaced
with a fully comprehensive approach that combines the usage of
Beaker with SQLAlchemy. New query options are used to indicate
the caching characteristics of a particular Query, which
can also be invoked deep within an object graph when lazily
loading related objects. See /examples/beaker_caching/README.
0.5.9
=====
- sql
- Fixed erroneous self_group() call in expression package.
[ticket:1661]
0.5.8
=====
- sql
- The copy() method on Column now supports uninitialized,
unnamed Column objects. This allows easy creation of
declarative helpers which place common columns on multiple
subclasses.
- Default generators like Sequence() translate correctly
across a copy() operation.
- Sequence() and other DefaultGenerator objects are accepted
as the value for the "default" and "onupdate" keyword
arguments of Column, in addition to being accepted
positionally.
- Fixed a column arithmetic bug that affected column
correspondence for cloned selectables which contain
free-standing column expressions. This bug is
generally only noticeable when exercising newer
ORM behavior only availble in 0.6 via [ticket:1568],
but is more correct at the SQL expression level
as well. [ticket:1617]
- postgresql
- The extract() function, which was slightly improved in
0.5.7, needed a lot more work to generate the correct
typecast (the typecasts appear to be necessary in PG's
EXTRACT quite a lot of the time). The typecast is
now generated using a rule dictionary based
on PG's documentation for date/time/interval arithmetic.
It also accepts text() constructs again, which was broken
in 0.5.7. [ticket:1647]
- firebird
- Recognize more errors as disconnections. [ticket:1646]
0.5.7
=====
- orm
- contains_eager() now works with the automatically
generated subquery that results when you say
"query(Parent).join(Parent.somejoinedsubclass)", i.e.
when Parent joins to a joined-table-inheritance subclass.
Previously contains_eager() would erroneously add the
subclass table to the query separately producing a
cartesian product. An example is in the ticket
description. [ticket:1543]
- query.options() now only propagate to loaded objects
for potential further sub-loads only for options where
such behavior is relevant, keeping
various unserializable options like those generated
by contains_eager() out of individual instance states.
[ticket:1553]
- Session.execute() now locates table- and
mapper-specific binds based on a passed
in expression which is an insert()/update()/delete()
construct. [ticket:1054]
- Session.merge() now properly overwrites a many-to-one or
uselist=False attribute to None if the attribute
is also None in the given object to be merged.
- Fixed a needless select which would occur when merging
transient objects that contained a null primary key
identifier. [ticket:1618]
- Mutable collection passed to the "extension" attribute
of relation(), column_property() etc. will not be mutated
or shared among multiple instrumentation calls, preventing
duplicate extensions, such as backref populators,
from being inserted into the list.
[ticket:1585]
- Fixed the call to get_committed_value() on CompositeProperty.
[ticket:1504]
- Fixed bug where Query would crash if a join() with no clear
"left" side were called when a non-mapped column entity
appeared in the columns list. [ticket:1602]
- Fixed bug whereby composite columns wouldn't load properly
when configured on a joined-table subclass, introduced in
version 0.5.6 as a result of the fix for [ticket:1480].
[ticket:1616] thx to Scott Torborg.
- The "use get" behavior of many-to-one relations, i.e. that a
lazy load will fallback to the possibly cached query.get()
value, now works across join conditions where the two compared
types are not exactly the same class, but share the same
"affinity" - i.e. Integer and SmallInteger. Also allows
combinations of reflected and non-reflected types to work
with 0.5 style type reflection, such as PGText/Text (note 0.6
reflects types as their generic versions). [ticket:1556]
- Fixed bug in query.update() when passing Cls.attribute
as keys in the value dict and using synchronize_session='expire'
('fetch' in 0.6). [ticket:1436]
- sql
- Fixed bug in two-phase transaction whereby commit() method
didn't set the full state which allows subsequent close()
call to succeed. [ticket:1603]
- Fixed the "numeric" paramstyle, which apparently is the
default paramstyle used by Informixdb.
- Repeat expressions in the columns clause of a select
are deduped based on the identity of each clause element,
not the actual string. This allows positional
elements to render correctly even if they all render
identically, such as "qmark" style bind parameters.
[ticket:1574]
- The cursor associated with connection pool connections
(i.e. _CursorFairy) now proxies `__iter__()` to the
underlying cursor correctly. [ticket:1632]
- types now support an "affinity comparison" operation, i.e.
that an Integer/SmallInteger are "compatible", or
a Text/String, PickleType/Binary, etc. Part of
[ticket:1556].
- Fixed bug preventing alias() of an alias() from being
cloned or adapted (occurs frequently in ORM operations).
[ticket:1641]
- sqlite
- sqlite dialect properly generates CREATE INDEX for a table
that is in an alternate schema. [ticket:1439]
- postgresql
- Added support for reflecting the DOUBLE PRECISION type,
via a new postgres.PGDoublePrecision object.
This is postgresql.DOUBLE_PRECISION in 0.6.
[ticket:1085]
- Added support for reflecting the INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND syntaxes of the INTERVAL
type. [ticket:460]
- Corrected the "has_sequence" query to take current schema,
or explicit sequence-stated schema, into account.
[ticket:1576]
- Fixed the behavior of extract() to apply operator
precedence rules to the "::" operator when applying
the "timestamp" cast - ensures proper parenthesization.
[ticket:1611]
- mssql
- Changed the name of TrustedConnection to
Trusted_Connection when constructing pyodbc connect
arguments [ticket:1561]
- oracle
- The "table_names" dialect function, used by MetaData
.reflect(), omits "index overflow tables", a system
table generated by Oracle when "index only tables"
with overflow are used. These tables aren't accessible
via SQL and can't be reflected. [ticket:1637]
- ext
- A column can be added to a joined-table declarative
superclass after the class has been constructed
(i.e. via class-level attribute assignment), and
the column will be propagated down to
subclasses. [ticket:1570] This is the reverse
situation as that of [ticket:1523], fixed in 0.5.6.
- Fixed a slight inaccuracy in the sharding example.
Comparing equivalence of columns in the ORM is best
accomplished using col1.shares_lineage(col2).
[ticket:1491]
- Removed unused `load()` method from ShardedQuery.
[ticket:1606]

py-sqlalchemy: updated to 1.3.16
1.3.16
orm
[orm] [bug]
Fixed bug in orm.selectinload() loading option where two or more loaders that represent different relationships with the same string key name as referenced from a single orm.with_polymorphic() construct with multiple subclass mappers would fail to invoke each subqueryload separately, instead making use of a single string-based slot that would prevent the other loaders from being invoked.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed issue where a lazyload that uses session-local “get” against a target many-to-one relationship where an object with the correct primary key is present, however it’s an instance of a sibling class, does not correctly return None as is the case when the lazy loader actually emits a load for that row.
[orm] [performance]
Modified the queries used by subqueryload and selectinload to no longer ORDER BY the primary key of the parent entity; this ordering was there to allow the rows as they come in to be copied into lists directly with a minimal level of Python-side collation. However, these ORDER BY clauses can negatively impact the performance of the query as in many scenarios these columns are derived from a subquery or are otherwise not actual primary key columns such that SQL planners cannot make use of indexes. The Python-side collation uses the native itertools.group_by() to collate the incoming rows, and has been modified to allow multiple row-groups-per-parent to be assembled together using list.extend(), which should still allow for relatively fast Python-side performance. There will still be an ORDER BY present for a relationship that includes an explicit order_by parameter, however this is the only ORDER BY that will be added to the query for both kinds of loading.
orm declarative
[bug] [declarative] [orm]
The string argument accepted as the first positional argument by the relationship() function when using the Declarative API is no longer interpreted using the Python eval() function; instead, the name is dot separated and the names are looked up directly in the name resolution dictionary without treating the value as a Python expression. However, passing a string argument to the other relationship() parameters that necessarily must accept Python expressions will still use eval(); the documentation has been clarified to ensure that there is no ambiguity that this is in use.
See also
Evaluation of relationship arguments - details on string evaluation
sql
[sql] [types]
Add ability to literal compile a DateTime, Date or :class:”Time” when using the string dialect for debugging purposes. This change does not impact real dialect implementation that retain their current behavior.
schema
[schema] [reflection]
Added support for reflection of “computed” columns, which are now returned as part of the structure returned by Inspector.get_columns(). When reflecting full Table objects, computed columns will be represented using the Computed construct.
postgresql
[postgresql] [bug]
Fixed issue where a “covering” index, e.g. those which have an INCLUDE clause, would be reflected including all the columns in INCLUDE clause as regular columns. A warning is now emitted if these additional columns are detected indicating that they are currently ignored. Note that full support for “covering” indexes is part of 4458. Pull request courtesy Marat Sharafutdinov.
mysql
[mysql] [bug]
Fixed issue in MySQL dialect when connecting to a psuedo-MySQL database such as that provided by ProxySQL, the up front check for isolation level when it returns no row will not prevent the dialect from continuing to connect. A warning is emitted that the isolation level could not be detected.
sqlite
[sqlite] [usecase]
Implemented AUTOCOMMIT isolation level for SQLite when using pysqlite.
mssql
[mssql] [usecase] [mysql] [oracle]
Added support for ColumnOperators.is_distinct_from() and ColumnOperators.isnot_distinct_from() to SQL Server, MySQL, and Oracle.
oracle
[oracle] [usecase]
Implemented AUTOCOMMIT isolation level for Oracle when using cx_Oracle. Also added a fixed default isolation level of READ COMMITTED for Oracle.
[oracle] [bug] [reflection]
Fixed regression / incorrect fix caused by fix for 5146 where the Oracle dialect reads from the “all_tab_comments” view to get table comments but fails to accommodate for the current owner of the table being requested, causing it to read the wrong comment if multiple tables of the same name exist in multiple schemas.
misc
[bug] [tests]
Fixed an issue that prevented the test suite from running with the recently released py.test 5.4.0.
[enum] [types]
The Enum type now supports the parameter Enum.length to specify the length of the VARCHAR column to create when using non native enums by setting Enum.native_enum to False
[installer]
Ensured that the “pyproject.toml” file is not included in builds, as the presence of this file indicates to pip that a pep-517 installation process should be used. As this mode of operation appears to be not well supported by current tools / distros, these problems are avoided within the scope of SQLAlchemy installation by omitting the file.
1.3.15
orm
[orm] [bug]
Adjusted the error message emitted by Query.join() when a left hand side can’t be located that the Query.select_from() method is the best way to resolve the issue. Also, within the 1.3 series, used a deterministic ordering when determining the FROM clause from a given column entity passed to Query so that the same expression is determined each time.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed regression in 1.3.14 due to 4849 where a sys.exc_info() call failed to be invoked correctly when a flush error would occur. Test coverage has been added for this exception case.
1.3.14
general
[general] [bug] [py3k]
Applied an explicit “cause” to most if not all internally raised exceptions that are raised from within an internal exception catch, to avoid misleading stacktraces that suggest an error within the handling of an exception. While it would be preferable to suppress the internally caught exception in the way that the __suppress_context__ attribute would, there does not as yet seem to be a way to do this without suppressing an enclosing user constructed context, so for now it exposes the internally caught exception as the cause so that full information about the context of the error is maintained.
orm
[orm] [usecase]
Added a new flag InstanceEvents.restore_load_context and SessionEvents.restore_load_context which apply to the InstanceEvents.load(), InstanceEvents.refresh(), and SessionEvents.loaded_as_persistent() events, which when set will restore the “load context” of the object after the event hook has been called. This ensures that the object remains within the “loader context” of the load operation that is already ongoing, rather than the object being transferred to a new load context due to refresh operations which may have occurred in the event. A warning is now emitted when this condition occurs, which recommends use of the flag to resolve this case. The flag is “opt-in” so that there is no risk introduced to existing applications.
The change additionally adds support for the raw=True flag to session lifecycle events.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed regression caused in 1.3.13 by 5056 where a refactor of the ORM path registry system made it such that a path could no longer be compared to an empty tuple, which can occur in a particular kind of joined eager loading path. The “empty tuple” use case has been resolved so that the path registry is compared to a path registry in all cases; the PathRegistry object itself now implements __eq__() and __ne__() methods which will take place for all equality comparisons and continue to succeed in the not anticipated case that a non- PathRegistry object is compared, while emitting a warning that this object should not be the subject of the comparison.
[orm] [bug]
Setting a relationship to viewonly=True which is also the target of a back_populates or backref configuration will now emit a warning and eventually be disallowed. back_populates refers specifically to mutation of an attribute or collection, which is disallowed when the attribute is subject to viewonly=True. The viewonly attribute is not subject to persistence behaviors which means it will not reflect correct results when it is locally mutated.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed an additional regression in the same area as that of 5080 introduced in 1.3.0b3 via 4468 where the ability to create a joined option across a with_polymorphic() into a relationship against the base class of that with_polymorphic, and then further into regular mapped relationships would fail as the base class component would not add itself to the load path in a way that could be located by the loader strategy. The changes applied in 5080 have been further refined to also accommodate this scenario.
engine
[engine] [bug]
Expanded the scope of cursor/connection cleanup when a statement is executed to include when the result object fails to be constructed, or an after_cursor_execute() event raises an error, or autocommit / autoclose fails. This allows the DBAPI cursor to be cleaned up on failure and for connectionless execution allows the connection to be closed out and returned to the connection pool, where previously it waiting until garbage collection would trigger a pool return.
sql
[sql] [bug] [postgresql]
Fixed bug where a CTE of an INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE that also uses RETURNING could then not be SELECTed from directly, as the internal state of the compiler would try to treat the outer SELECT as a DELETE statement itself and access nonexistent state.
postgresql
[postgresql] [bug]
Fixed issue where the “schema_translate_map” feature would not work with a PostgreSQL native enumeration type (i.e. Enum, postgresql.ENUM) in that while the “CREATE TYPE” statement would be emitted with the correct schema, the schema would not be rendered in the CREATE TABLE statement at the point at which the enumeration was referenced.
[postgresql] [bug] [reflection]
Fixed bug where PostgreSQL reflection of CHECK constraints would fail to parse the constraint if the SQL text contained newline characters. The regular expression has been adjusted to accommodate for this case. Pull request courtesy Eric Borczuk.
mysql
[mysql] [bug]
Fixed issue in MySQL mysql.Insert.on_duplicate_key_update() construct where using a SQL function or other composed expression for a column argument would not properly render the VALUES keyword surrounding the column itself.
mssql
[mssql] [bug]
Fixed issue where the mssql.DATETIMEOFFSET type would not accommodate for the None value, introduced as part of the series of fixes for this type first introduced in 4983, 5045. Additionally, added support for passing a backend-specific date formatted string through this type, as is typically allowed for date/time types on most other DBAPIs.
oracle
[oracle] [bug]
Fixed a reflection bug where table comments could only be retrieved for tables actually owned by the user but not for tables visible to the user but owned by someone else. Pull request courtesy Dave Hirschfeld.
misc
[usecase] [ext]
Added keyword arguments to the MutableList.sort() function so that a key function as well as the “reverse” keyword argument can be provided.
[bug] [performance]
Revised an internal change to the test system added as a result of 5085 where a testing-related module per dialect would be loaded unconditionally upon making use of that dialect, pulling in SQLAlchemy’s testing framework as well as the ORM into the module import space. This would only impact initial startup time and memory to a modest extent, however it’s best that these additional modules aren’t reverse-dependent on straight Core usage.
[bug] [installation]
Vendored the inspect.formatannotation function inside of sqlalchemy.util.compat, which is needed for the vendored version of inspect.formatargspec. The function is not documented in cPython and is not guaranteed to be available in future Python versions.

Update SQLalchemy to version 0.6.0.
Changes since 0.5.6:
0.6.0
=====
- orm
- Unit of work internals have been rewritten. Units of work
with large numbers of objects interdependent objects
can now be flushed without recursion overflows
as there is no longer reliance upon recursive calls
[ticket:1081]. The number of internal structures now stays
constant for a particular session state, regardless of
how many relationships are present on mappings. The flow
of events now corresponds to a linear list of steps,
generated by the mappers and relationships based on actual
work to be done, filtered through a single topological sort
for correct ordering. Flush actions are assembled using
far fewer steps and less memory. [ticket:1742]
- Along with the UOW rewrite, this also removes an issue
introduced in 0.6beta3 regarding topological cycle detection
for units of work with long dependency cycles. We now use
an algorithm written by Guido (thanks Guido!).
- one-to-many relationships now maintain a list of positive
parent-child associations within the flush, preventing
previous parents marked as deleted from cascading a
delete or NULL foreign key set on those child objects,
despite the end-user not removing the child from the old
association. [ticket:1764]
- A collection lazy load will switch off default
eagerloading on the reverse many-to-one side, since
that loading is by definition unnecessary. [ticket:1495]
- Session.refresh() now does an equivalent expire()
on the given instance first, so that the "refresh-expire"
cascade is propagated. Previously, refresh() was
not affected in any way by the presence of "refresh-expire"
cascade. This is a change in behavior versus that
of 0.6beta2, where the "lockmode" flag passed to refresh()
would cause a version check to occur. Since the instance
is first expired, refresh() always upgrades the object
to the most recent version.
- The 'refresh-expire' cascade, when reaching a pending object,
will expunge the object if the cascade also includes
"delete-orphan", or will simply detach it otherwise.
[ticket:1754]
- id(obj) is no longer used internally within topological.py,
as the sorting functions now require hashable objects
only. [ticket:1756]
- The ORM will set the docstring of all generated descriptors
to None by default. This can be overridden using 'doc'
(or if using Sphinx, attribute docstrings work too).
- Added kw argument 'doc' to all mapper property callables
as well as Column(). Will assemble the string 'doc' as
the '__doc__' attribute on the descriptor.
- Usage of version_id_col on a backend that supports
cursor.rowcount for execute() but not executemany() now works
when a delete is issued (already worked for saves, since those
don't use executemany()). For a backend that doesn't support
cursor.rowcount at all, a warning is emitted the same
as with saves. [ticket:1761]
- The ORM now short-term caches the "compiled" form of
insert() and update() constructs when flushing lists of
objects of all the same class, thereby avoiding redundant
compilation per individual INSERT/UPDATE within an
individual flush() call.
- internal getattr(), setattr(), getcommitted() methods
on ColumnProperty, CompositeProperty, RelationshipProperty
have been underscored (i.e. are private), signature has
changed.
- engines
- The C extension now also works with DBAPIs which use custom
sequences as row (and not only tuples). [ticket:1757]
- sql
- Restored some bind-labeling logic from 0.5 which ensures
that tables with column names that overlap another column
of the form "<tablename>_<columnname>" won't produce
errors if column._label is used as a bind name during
an UPDATE. Test coverage which wasn't present in 0.5
has been added. [ticket:1755]
- somejoin.select(fold_equivalents=True) is no longer
deprecated, and will eventually be rolled into a more
comprehensive version of the feature for [ticket:1729].
- the Numeric type raises an *enormous* warning when expected
to convert floats to Decimal from a DBAPI that returns floats.
This includes SQLite, Sybase, MS-SQL. [ticket:1759]
- Fixed an error in expression typing which caused an endless
loop for expressions with two NULL types.
- Fixed bug in execution_options() feature whereby the existing
Transaction and other state information from the parent
connection would not be propagated to the sub-connection.
- Added new 'compiled_cache' execution option. A dictionary
where Compiled objects will be cached when the Connection
compiles a clause expression into a dialect- and parameter-
specific Compiled object. It is the user's responsibility to
manage the size of this dictionary, which will have keys
corresponding to the dialect, clause element, the column
names within the VALUES or SET clause of an INSERT or UPDATE,
as well as the "batch" mode for an INSERT or UPDATE statement.
- Added get_pk_constraint() to reflection.Inspector, similar
to get_primary_keys() except returns a dict that includes the
name of the constraint, for supported backends (PG so far).
[ticket:1769]
- Table.create() and Table.drop() no longer apply metadata-
level create/drop events. [ticket:1771]
- ext
- the compiler extension now allows @compiles decorators
on base classes that extend to child classes, @compiles
decorators on child classes that aren't broken by a
@compiles decorator on the base class.
- Declarative will raise an informative error message
if a non-mapped class attribute is referenced in the
string-based relationship() arguments.
- Further reworked the "mixin" logic in declarative to
additionally allow __mapper_args__ as a @classproperty
on a mixin, such as to dynamically assign polymorphic_identity.
- postgresql
- Postgresql now reflects sequence names associated with
SERIAL columns correctly, after the name of of the sequence
has been changed. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the patch.
[ticket:1071]
- Repaired missing import in psycopg2._PGNumeric type when
unknown numeric is received.
- psycopg2/pg8000 dialects now aware of REAL[], FLOAT[],
DOUBLE_PRECISION[], NUMERIC[] return types without
raising an exception.
- Postgresql reflects the name of primary key constraints,
if one exists. [ticket:1769]
- oracle
- Now using cx_oracle output converters so that the
DBAPI returns natively the kinds of values we prefer:
- NUMBER values with positive precision + scale convert
to cx_oracle.STRING and then to Decimal. This
allows perfect precision for the Numeric type when
using cx_oracle. [ticket:1759]
- STRING/FIXED_CHAR now convert to unicode natively.
SQLAlchemy's String types then don't need to
apply any kind of conversions.
- firebird
- The functionality of result.rowcount can be disabled on a
per-engine basis by setting 'enable_rowcount=False'
on create_engine(). Normally, cursor.rowcount is called
after any UPDATE or DELETE statement unconditionally,
because the cursor is then closed and Firebird requires
an open cursor in order to get a rowcount. This
call is slightly expensive however so it can be disabled.
To re-enable on a per-execution basis, the
'enable_rowcount=True' execution option may be used.
- examples
- Updated attribute_shard.py example to use a more robust
method of searching a Query for binary expressions which
compare columns against literal values.
0.6beta3
========
- orm
- Major feature: Added new "subquery" loading capability to
relationship(). This is an eager loading option which
generates a second SELECT for each collection represented
in a query, across all parents at once. The query
re-issues the original end-user query wrapped in a subquery,
applies joins out to the target collection, and loads
all those collections fully in one result, similar to
"joined" eager loading but using all inner joins and not
re-fetching full parent rows repeatedly (as most DBAPIs seem
to do, even if columns are skipped). Subquery loading is
available at mapper config level using "lazy='subquery'" and
at the query options level using "subqueryload(props..)",
"subqueryload_all(props...)". [ticket:1675]
- To accomodate the fact that there are now two kinds of eager
loading available, the new names for eagerload() and
eagerload_all() are joinedload() and joinedload_all(). The
old names will remain as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- The "lazy" flag on the relationship() function now accepts
a string argument for all kinds of loading: "select", "joined",
"subquery", "noload" and "dynamic", where the default is now
"select". The old values of True/
False/None still retain their usual meanings and will remain
as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- Added with_hint() method to Query() construct. This calls
directly down to select().with_hint() and also accepts
entities as well as tables and aliases. See with_hint() in the
SQL section below. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug in Query whereby calling q.join(prop).from_self(...).
join(prop) would fail to render the second join outside the
subquery, when joining on the same criterion as was on the
inside.
- Fixed bug in Query whereby the usage of aliased() constructs
would fail if the underlying table (but not the actual alias)
were referenced inside the subquery generated by
q.from_self() or q.select_from().
- Fixed bug which affected all eagerload() and similar options
such that "remote" eager loads, i.e. eagerloads off of a lazy
load such as query(A).options(eagerload(A.b, B.c))
wouldn't eagerload anything, but using eagerload("b.c") would
work fine.
- Query gains an add_columns(*columns) method which is a multi-
version of add_column(col). add_column(col) is future
deprecated.
- Query.join() will detect if the end result will be
"FROM A JOIN A", and will raise an error if so.
- Query.join(Cls.propname, from_joinpoint=True) will check more
carefully that "Cls" is compatible with the current joinpoint,
and act the same way as Query.join("propname", from_joinpoint=True)
in that regard.
- sql
- Added with_hint() method to select() construct. Specify
a table/alias, hint text, and optional dialect name, and
"hints" will be rendered in the appropriate place in the
statement. Works for Oracle, Sybase, MySQL. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug introduced in 0.6beta2 where column labels would
render inside of column expressions already assigned a label.
[ticket:1747]
- postgresql
- The psycopg2 dialect will log NOTICE messages via the
"sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql" logger name.
[ticket:877]
- the TIME and TIMESTAMP types are now availble from the
postgresql dialect directly, which add the PG-specific
argument 'precision' to both. 'precision' and
'timezone' are correctly reflected for both TIME and
TIMEZONE types. [ticket:997]
- mysql
- No longer guessing that TINYINT(1) should be BOOLEAN
when reflecting - TINYINT(1) is returned. Use Boolean/
BOOLEAN in table definition to get boolean conversion
behavior. [ticket:1752]
- oracle
- The Oracle dialect will issue VARCHAR type definitions
using character counts, i.e. VARCHAR2(50 CHAR), so that
the column is sized in terms of characters and not bytes.
Column reflection of character types will also use
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.CHAR_LENGTH instead of
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.DATA_LENGTH. Both of these behaviors take
effect when the server version is 9 or higher - for
version 8, the old behaviors are used. [ticket:1744]
- declarative
- Using a mixin won't break if the mixin implements an
unpredictable __getattribute__(), i.e. Zope interfaces.
[ticket:1746]
- Using @classdecorator and similar on mixins to define
__tablename__, __table_args__, etc. now works if
the method references attributes on the ultimate
subclass. [ticket:1749]
- relationships and columns with foreign keys aren't
allowed on declarative mixins, sorry. [ticket:1751]
- ext
- The sqlalchemy.orm.shard module now becomes an extension,
sqlalchemy.ext.horizontal_shard. The old import
works with a deprecation warning.
0.6beta2
========
- py3k
- Improved the installation/test setup regarding Python 3,
now that Distribute runs on Py3k. distribute_setup.py
is now included. See README.py3k for Python 3 installation/
testing instructions.
- orm
- The official name for the relation() function is now
relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational
algebra term. relation() however will remain available
in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
- Added "version_id_generator" argument to Mapper, this is a
callable that, given the current value of the "version_id_col",
returns the next version number. Can be used for alternate
versioning schemes such as uuid, timestamps. [ticket:1692]
- added "lockmode" kw argument to Session.refresh(), will
pass through the string value to Query the same as
in with_lockmode(), will also do version check for a
version_id_col-enabled mapping.
- Fixed bug whereby calling query(A).join(A.bs).add_entity(B)
in a joined inheritance scenario would double-add B as a
target and produce an invalid query. [ticket:1188]
- Fixed bug in session.rollback() which involved not removing
formerly "pending" objects from the session before
re-integrating "deleted" objects, typically occured with
natural primary keys. If there was a primary key conflict
between them, the attach of the deleted would fail
internally. The formerly "pending" objects are now expunged
first. [ticket:1674]
- Removed a lot of logging that nobody really cares about,
logging that remains will respond to live changes in the
log level. No significant overhead is added. [ticket:1719]
- Fixed bug in session.merge() which prevented dict-like
collections from merging.
- session.merge() works with relations that specifically
don't include "merge" in their cascade options - the target
is ignored completely.
- session.merge() will not expire existing scalar attributes
on an existing target if the target has a value for that
attribute, even if the incoming merged doesn't have
a value for the attribute. This prevents unnecessary loads
on existing items. Will still mark the attr as expired
if the destination doesn't have the attr, though, which
fulfills some contracts of deferred cols. [ticket:1681]
- The "allow_null_pks" flag is now called "allow_partial_pks",
defaults to True, acts like it did in 0.5 again. Except,
it also is implemented within merge() such that a SELECT
won't be issued for an incoming instance with partially
NULL primary key if the flag is False. [ticket:1680]
- Fixed bug in 0.6-reworked "many-to-one" optimizations
such that a many-to-one that is against a non-primary key
column on the remote table (i.e. foreign key against a
UNIQUE column) will pull the "old" value in from the
database during a change, since if it's in the session
we will need it for proper history/backref accounting,
and we can't pull from the local identity map on a
non-primary key column. [ticket:1737]
- fixed internal error which would occur if calling has()
or similar complex expression on a single-table inheritance
relation(). [ticket:1731]
- query.one() no longer applies LIMIT to the query, this to
ensure that it fully counts all object identities present
in the result, even in the case where joins may conceal
multiple identities for two or more rows. As a bonus,
one() can now also be called with a query that issued
from_statement() to start with since it no longer modifies
the query. [ticket:1688]
- query.get() now returns None if queried for an identifier
that is present in the identity map with a different class
than the one requested, i.e. when using polymorphic loading.
[ticket:1727]
- A major fix in query.join(), when the "on" clause is an
attribute of an aliased() construct, but there is already
an existing join made out to a compatible target, query properly
joins to the right aliased() construct instead of sticking
onto the right side of the existing join. [ticket:1706]
- Slight improvement to the fix for [ticket:1362] to not issue
needless updates of the primary key column during a so-called
"row switch" operation, i.e. add + delete of two objects
with the same PK.
- Now uses sqlalchemy.orm.exc.DetachedInstanceError when an
attribute load or refresh action fails due to object
being detached from any Session. UnboundExecutionError
is specific to engines bound to sessions and statements.
- Query called in the context of an expression will render
disambiguating labels in all cases. Note that this does
not apply to the existing .statement and .subquery()
accessor/method, which still honors the .with_labels()
setting that defaults to False.
- Query.union() retains disambiguating labels within the
returned statement, thus avoiding various SQL composition
errors which can result from column name conflicts.
[ticket:1676]
- Fixed bug in attribute history that inadvertently invoked
__eq__ on mapped instances.
- Some internal streamlining of object loading grants a
small speedup for large results, estimates are around
10-15%. Gave the "state" internals a good solid
cleanup with less complexity, datamembers,
method calls, blank dictionary creates.
- Documentation clarification for query.delete()
[ticket:1689]
- Fixed cascade bug in many-to-one relation() when attribute
was set to None, introduced in r6711 (cascade deleted
items into session during add()).
- Calling query.order_by() or query.distinct() before calling
query.select_from(), query.with_polymorphic(), or
query.from_statement() raises an exception now instead of
silently dropping those criterion. [ticket:1736]
- query.scalar() now raises an exception if more than one
row is returned. All other behavior remains the same.
[ticket:1735]
- Fixed bug which caused "row switch" logic, that is an
INSERT and DELETE replaced by an UPDATE, to fail when
version_id_col was in use. [ticket:1692]
- sql
- join() will now simulate a NATURAL JOIN by default. Meaning,
if the left side is a join, it will attempt to join the right
side to the rightmost side of the left first, and not raise
any exceptions about ambiguous join conditions if successful
even if there are further join targets across the rest of
the left. [ticket:1714]
- The most common result processors conversion function were
moved to the new "processors" module. Dialect authors are
encouraged to use those functions whenever they correspond
to their needs instead of implementing custom ones.
- SchemaType and subclasses Boolean, Enum are now serializable,
including their ddl listener and other event callables.
[ticket:1694] [ticket:1698]
- Some platforms will now interpret certain literal values
as non-bind parameters, rendered literally into the SQL
statement. This to support strict SQL-92 rules that are
enforced by some platforms including MS-SQL and Sybase.
In this model, bind parameters aren't allowed in the
columns clause of a SELECT, nor are certain ambiguous
expressions like "?=?". When this mode is enabled, the base
compiler will render the binds as inline literals, but only across
strings and numeric values. Other types such as dates
will raise an error, unless the dialect subclass defines
a literal rendering function for those. The bind parameter
must have an embedded literal value already or an error
is raised (i.e. won't work with straight bindparam('x')).
Dialects can also expand upon the areas where binds are not
accepted, such as within argument lists of functions
(which don't work on MS-SQL when native SQL binding is used).
- Added "unicode_errors" parameter to String, Unicode, etc.
Behaves like the 'errors' keyword argument to
the standard library's string.decode() functions. This flag
requires that `convert_unicode` is set to `"force"` - otherwise,
SQLAlchemy is not guaranteed to handle the task of unicode
conversion. Note that this flag adds significant performance
overhead to row-fetching operations for backends that already
return unicode objects natively (which most DBAPIs do). This
flag should only be used as an absolute last resort for reading
strings from a column with varied or corrupted encodings,
which only applies to databases that accept invalid encodings
in the first place (i.e. MySQL. *not* PG, Sqlite, etc.)
- Added math negation operator support, -x.
- FunctionElement subclasses are now directly executable the
same way any func.foo() construct is, with automatic
SELECT being applied when passed to execute().
- The "type" and "bind" keyword arguments of a func.foo()
construct are now local to "func." constructs and are
not part of the FunctionElement base class, allowing
a "type" to be handled in a custom constructor or
class-level variable.
- Restored the keys() method to ResultProxy.
- The type/expression system now does a more complete job
of determining the return type from an expression
as well as the adaptation of the Python operator into
a SQL operator, based on the full left/right/operator
of the given expression. In particular
the date/time/interval system created for Postgresql
EXTRACT in [ticket:1647] has now been generalized into
the type system. The previous behavior which often
occured of an expression "column + literal" forcing
the type of "literal" to be the same as that of "column"
will now usually not occur - the type of
"literal" is first derived from the Python type of the
literal, assuming standard native Python types + date
types, before falling back to that of the known type
on the other side of the expression. If the
"fallback" type is compatible (i.e. CHAR from String),
the literal side will use that. TypeDecorator
types override this by default to coerce the "literal"
side unconditionally, which can be changed by implementing
the coerce_compared_value() method. Also part of
[ticket:1683].
- Made sqlalchemy.sql.expressions.Executable part of public
API, used for any expression construct that can be sent to
execute(). FunctionElement now inherits Executable so that
it gains execution_options(), which are also propagated
to the select() that's generated within execute().
Executable in turn subclasses _Generative which marks
any ClauseElement that supports the @_generative
decorator - these may also become "public" for the benefit
of the compiler extension at some point.
- A change to the solution for [ticket:1579] - an end-user
defined bind parameter name that directly conflicts with
a column-named bind generated directly from the SET or
VALUES clause of an update/insert generates a compile error.
This reduces call counts and eliminates some cases where
undesirable name conflicts could still occur.
- Column() requires a type if it has no foreign keys (this is
not new). An error is now raised if a Column() has no type
and no foreign keys. [ticket:1705]
- the "scale" argument of the Numeric() type is honored when
coercing a returned floating point value into a string
on its way to Decimal - this allows accuracy to function
on SQLite, MySQL. [ticket:1717]
- the copy() method of Column now copies over uninitialized
"on table attach" events. Helps with the new declarative
"mixin" capability.
- engines
- Added an optional C extension to speed up the sql layer by
reimplementing RowProxy and the most common result processors.
The actual speedups will depend heavily on your DBAPI and
the mix of datatypes used in your tables, and can vary from
a 30% improvement to more than 200%. It also provides a modest
(~15-20%) indirect improvement to ORM speed for large queries.
Note that it is *not* built/installed by default.
See README for installation instructions.
- the execution sequence pulls all rowcount/last inserted ID
info from the cursor before commit() is called on the
DBAPI connection in an "autocommit" scenario. This helps
mxodbc with rowcount and is probably a good idea overall.
- Opened up logging a bit such that isEnabledFor() is called
more often, so that changes to the log level for engine/pool
will be reflected on next connect. This adds a small
amount of method call overhead. It's negligible and will make
life a lot easier for all those situations when logging
just happens to be configured after create_engine() is called.
[ticket:1719]
- The assert_unicode flag is deprecated. SQLAlchemy will raise
a warning in all cases where it is asked to encode a non-unicode
Python string, as well as when a Unicode or UnicodeType type
is explicitly passed a bytestring. The String type will do nothing
for DBAPIs that already accept Python unicode objects.
- Bind parameters are sent as a tuple instead of a list. Some
backend drivers will not accept bind parameters as a list.
- threadlocal engine wasn't properly closing the connection
upon close() - fixed that.
- Transaction object doesn't rollback or commit if it isn't
"active", allows more accurate nesting of begin/rollback/commit.
- Python unicode objects as binds result in the Unicode type,
not string, thus eliminating a certain class of unicode errors
on drivers that don't support unicode binds.
- Added "logging_name" argument to create_engine(), Pool() constructor
as well as "pool_logging_name" argument to create_engine() which
filters down to that of Pool. Issues the given string name
within the "name" field of logging messages instead of the default
hex identifier string. [ticket:1555]
- The visit_pool() method of Dialect is removed, and replaced with
on_connect(). This method returns a callable which receives
the raw DBAPI connection after each one is created. The callable
is assembled into a first_connect/connect pool listener by the
connection strategy if non-None. Provides a simpler interface
for dialects.
- StaticPool now initializes, disposes and recreates without
opening a new connection - the connection is only opened when
first requested. dispose() also works on AssertionPool now.
[ticket:1728]
- metadata
- Added the ability to strip schema information when using
"tometadata" by passing "schema=None" as an argument. If schema
is not specified then the table's schema is retained.
[ticket: 1673]
- declarative
- DeclarativeMeta exclusively uses cls.__dict__ (not dict_)
as the source of class information; _as_declarative exclusively
uses the dict_ passed to it as the source of class information
(which when using DeclarativeMeta is cls.__dict__). This should
in theory make it easier for custom metaclasses to modify
the state passed into _as_declarative.
- declarative now accepts mixin classes directly, as a means
to provide common functional and column-based elements on
all subclasses, as well as a means to propagate a fixed
set of __table_args__ or __mapper_args__ to subclasses.
For custom combinations of __table_args__/__mapper_args__ from
an inherited mixin to local, descriptors can now be used.
New details are all up in the Declarative documentation.
Thanks to Chris Withers for putting up with my strife
on this. [ticket:1707]
- the __mapper_args__ dict is copied when propagating to a subclass,
and is taken straight off the class __dict__ to avoid any
propagation from the parent. mapper inheritance already
propagates the things you want from the parent mapper.
[ticket:1393]
- An exception is raised when a single-table subclass specifies
a column that is already present on the base class.
[ticket:1732]
- mysql
- Fixed reflection bug whereby when COLLATE was present,
nullable flag and server defaults would not be reflected.
[ticket:1655]
- Fixed reflection of TINYINT(1) "boolean" columns defined with
integer flags like UNSIGNED.
- Further fixes for the mysql-connector dialect. [ticket:1668]
- Composite PK table on InnoDB where the "autoincrement" column
isn't first will emit an explicit "KEY" phrase within
CREATE TABLE thereby avoiding errors, [ticket:1496]
- Added reflection/create table support for a wide range
of MySQL keywords. [ticket:1634]
- Fixed import error which could occur reflecting tables on
a Windows host [ticket:1580]
- mssql
- Re-established support for the pymssql dialect.
- Various fixes for implicit returning, reflection,
etc. - the MS-SQL dialects aren't quite complete
in 0.6 yet (but are close)
- Added basic support for mxODBC [ticket:1710].
- Removed the text_as_varchar option.
- oracle
- "out" parameters require a type that is supported by
cx_oracle. An error will be raised if no cx_oracle
type can be found.
- Oracle 'DATE' now does not perform any result processing,
as the DATE type in Oracle stores full date+time objects,
that's what you'll get. Note that the generic types.Date
type *will* still call value.date() on incoming values,
however. When reflecting a table, the reflected type
will be 'DATE'.
- Added preliminary support for Oracle's WITH_UNICODE
mode. At the very least this establishes initial
support for cx_Oracle with Python 3. When WITH_UNICODE
mode is used in Python 2.xx, a large and scary warning
is emitted asking that the user seriously consider
the usage of this difficult mode of operation.
[ticket:1670]
- The except_() method now renders as MINUS on Oracle,
which is more or less equivalent on that platform.
[ticket:1712]
- Added support for rendering and reflecting
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, i.e. TIMESTAMP(timezone=True).
[ticket:651]
- Oracle INTERVAL type can now be reflected.
- sqlite
- Added "native_datetime=True" flag to create_engine().
This will cause the DATE and TIMESTAMP types to skip
all bind parameter and result row processing, under
the assumption that PARSE_DECLTYPES has been enabled
on the connection. Note that this is not entirely
compatible with the "func.current_date()", which
will be returned as a string. [ticket:1685]
- sybase
- Implemented a preliminary working dialect for Sybase,
with sub-implementations for Python-Sybase as well
as Pyodbc. Handles table
creates/drops and basic round trip functionality.
Does not yet include reflection or comprehensive
support of unicode/special expressions/etc.
- examples
- Changed the beaker cache example a bit to have a separate
RelationCache option for lazyload caching. This object
does a lookup among any number of potential attributes
more efficiently by grouping several into a common structure.
Both FromCache and RelationCache are simpler individually.
- documentation
- Major cleanup work in the docs to link class, function, and
method names into the API docs. [ticket:1700/1702/1703]
0.6beta1
========
- Major Release
- For the full set of feature descriptions, see
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/06Migration .
This document is a work in progress.
- All bug fixes and feature enhancements from the most
recent 0.5 version and below are also included within 0.6.
- Platforms targeted now include Python 2.4/2.5/2.6, Python
3.1, Jython2.5.
- orm
- Changes to query.update() and query.delete():
- the 'expire' option on query.update() has been renamed to
'fetch', thus matching that of query.delete().
'expire' is deprecated and issues a warning.
- query.update() and query.delete() both default to
'evaluate' for the synchronize strategy.
- the 'synchronize' strategy for update() and delete()
raises an error on failure. There is no implicit fallback
onto "fetch". Failure of evaluation is based on the
structure of criteria, so success/failure is deterministic
based on code structure.
- Enhancements on many-to-one relations:
- many-to-one relations now fire off a lazyload in fewer
cases, including in most cases will not fetch the "old"
value when a new one is replaced.
- many-to-one relation to a joined-table subclass now uses
get() for a simple load (known as the "use_get"
condition), i.e. Related->Sub(Base), without the need to
redefine the primaryjoin condition in terms of the base
table. [ticket:1186]
- specifying a foreign key with a declarative column, i.e.
ForeignKey(MyRelatedClass.id) doesn't break the "use_get"
condition from taking place [ticket:1492]
- relation(), eagerload(), and eagerload_all() now feature
an option called "innerjoin". Specify `True` or `False` to
control whether an eager join is constructed as an INNER
or OUTER join. Default is `False` as always. The mapper
options will override whichever setting is specified on
relation(). Should generally be set for many-to-one, not
nullable foreign key relations to allow improved join
performance. [ticket:1544]
- the behavior of eagerloading such that the main query is
wrapped in a subquery when LIMIT/OFFSET are present now
makes an exception for the case when all eager loads are
many-to-one joins. In those cases, the eager joins are
against the parent table directly along with the
limit/offset without the extra overhead of a subquery,
since a many-to-one join does not add rows to the result.
- Enhancements / Changes on Session.merge():
- the "dont_load=True" flag on Session.merge() is deprecated
and is now "load=False".
- Session.merge() is performance optimized, using half the
call counts for "load=False" mode compared to 0.5 and
significantly fewer SQL queries in the case of collections
for "load=True" mode.
- merge() will not issue a needless merge of attributes if the
given instance is the same instance which is already present.
- merge() now also merges the "options" associated with a given
state, i.e. those passed through query.options() which follow
along with an instance, such as options to eagerly- or
lazyily- load various attributes. This is essential for
the construction of highly integrated caching schemes. This
is a subtle behavioral change vs. 0.5.
- A bug was fixed regarding the serialization of the "loader
path" present on an instance's state, which is also necessary
when combining the usage of merge() with serialized state
and associated options that should be preserved.
- The all new merge() is showcased in a new comprehensive
example of how to integrate Beaker with SQLAlchemy. See
the notes in the "examples" note below.
- Primary key values can now be changed on a joined-table inheritance
object, and ON UPDATE CASCADE will be taken into account when
the flush happens. Set the new "passive_updates" flag to False
on mapper() when using SQLite or MySQL/MyISAM. [ticket:1362]
- flush() now detects when a primary key column was updated by
an ON UPDATE CASCADE operation from another primary key, and
can then locate the row for a subsequent UPDATE on the new PK
value. This occurs when a relation() is there to establish
the relationship as well as passive_updates=True. [ticket:1671]
- the "save-update" cascade will now cascade the pending *removed*
values from a scalar or collection attribute into the new session
during an add() operation. This so that the flush() operation
will also delete or modify rows of those disconnected items.
- Using a "dynamic" loader with a "secondary" table now produces
a query where the "secondary" table is *not* aliased. This
allows the secondary Table object to be used in the "order_by"
attribute of the relation(), and also allows it to be used
in filter criterion against the dynamic relation.
[ticket:1531]
- relation() with uselist=False will emit a warning when
an eager or lazy load locates more than one valid value for
the row. This may be due to primaryjoin/secondaryjoin
conditions which aren't appropriate for an eager LEFT OUTER
JOIN or for other conditions. [ticket:1643]
- an explicit check occurs when a synonym() is used with
map_column=True, when a ColumnProperty (deferred or otherwise)
exists separately in the properties dictionary sent to mapper
with the same keyname. Instead of silently replacing
the existing property (and possible options on that property),
an error is raised. [ticket:1633]
- a "dynamic" loader sets up its query criterion at construction
time so that the actual query is returned from non-cloning
accessors like "statement".
- the "named tuple" objects returned when iterating a
Query() are now pickleable.
- mapping to a select() construct now requires that you
make an alias() out of it distinctly. This to eliminate
confusion over such issues as [ticket:1542]
- query.join() has been reworked to provide more consistent
behavior and more flexibility (includes [ticket:1537])
- query.select_from() accepts multiple clauses to produce
multiple comma separated entries within the FROM clause.
Useful when selecting from multiple-homed join() clauses.
- query.select_from() also accepts mapped classes, aliased()
constructs, and mappers as arguments. In particular this
helps when querying from multiple joined-table classes to ensure
the full join gets rendered.
- query.get() can be used with a mapping to an outer join
where one or more of the primary key values are None.
[ticket:1135]
- query.from_self(), query.union(), others which do a
"SELECT * from (SELECT...)" type of nesting will do
a better job translating column expressions within the subquery
to the columns clause of the outer query. This is
potentially backwards incompatible with 0.5, in that this
may break queries with literal expressions that do not have labels
applied (i.e. literal('foo'), etc.)
[ticket:1568]
- relation primaryjoin and secondaryjoin now check that they
are column-expressions, not just clause elements. this prohibits
things like FROM expressions being placed there directly.
[ticket:1622]
- `expression.null()` is fully understood the same way
None is when comparing an object/collection-referencing
attribute within query.filter(), filter_by(), etc.
[ticket:1415]
- added "make_transient()" helper function which transforms a
persistent/ detached instance into a transient one (i.e.
deletes the instance_key and removes from any session.)
[ticket:1052]
- the allow_null_pks flag on mapper() is deprecated, and
the feature is turned "on" by default. This means that
a row which has a non-null value for any of its primary key
columns will be considered an identity. The need for this
scenario typically only occurs when mapping to an outer join.
[ticket:1339]
- the mechanics of "backref" have been fully merged into the
finer grained "back_populates" system, and take place entirely
within the _generate_backref() method of RelationProperty. This
makes the initialization procedure of RelationProperty
simpler and allows easier propagation of settings (such as from
subclasses of RelationProperty) into the reverse reference.
The internal BackRef() is gone and backref() returns a plain
tuple that is understood by RelationProperty.
- The version_id_col feature on mapper() will raise a warning when
used with dialects that don't support "rowcount" adequately.
[ticket:1569]
- added "execution_options()" to Query, to so options can be
passed to the resulting statement. Currently only
Select-statements have these options, and the only option
used is "stream_results", and the only dialect which knows
"stream_results" is psycopg2.
- Query.yield_per() will set the "stream_results" statement
option automatically.
- Deprecated or removed:
* 'allow_null_pks' flag on mapper() is deprecated. It does
nothing now and the setting is "on" in all cases.
* 'transactional' flag on sessionmaker() and others is
removed. Use 'autocommit=True' to indicate 'transactional=False'.
* 'polymorphic_fetch' argument on mapper() is removed.
Loading can be controlled using the 'with_polymorphic'
option.
* 'select_table' argument on mapper() is removed. Use
'with_polymorphic=("*", <some selectable>)' for this
functionality.
* 'proxy' argument on synonym() is removed. This flag
did nothing throughout 0.5, as the "proxy generation"
behavior is now automatic.
* Passing a single list of elements to eagerload(),
eagerload_all(), contains_eager(), lazyload(),
defer(), and undefer() instead of multiple positional
*args is deprecated.
* Passing a single list of elements to query.order_by(),
query.group_by(), query.join(), or query.outerjoin()
instead of multiple positional *args is deprecated.
* query.iterate_instances() is removed. Use query.instances().
* Query.query_from_parent() is removed. Use the
sqlalchemy.orm.with_parent() function to produce a
"parent" clause, or alternatively query.with_parent().
* query._from_self() is removed, use query.from_self()
instead.
* the "comparator" argument to composite() is removed.
Use "comparator_factory".
* RelationProperty._get_join() is removed.
* the 'echo_uow' flag on Session is removed. Use
logging on the "sqlalchemy.orm.unitofwork" name.
* session.clear() is removed. use session.expunge_all().
* session.save(), session.update(), session.save_or_update()
are removed. Use session.add() and session.add_all().
* the "objects" flag on session.flush() remains deprecated.
* the "dont_load=True" flag on session.merge() is deprecated
in favor of "load=False".
* ScopedSession.mapper remains deprecated. See the
usage recipe at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/SessionAwareMapper
* passing an InstanceState (internal SQLAlchemy state object) to
attributes.init_collection() or attributes.get_history() is
deprecated. These functions are public API and normally
expect a regular mapped object instance.
* the 'engine' parameter to declarative_base() is removed.
Use the 'bind' keyword argument.
- sql
- the "autocommit" flag on select() and text() as well
as select().autocommit() are deprecated - now call
.execution_options(autocommit=True) on either of those
constructs, also available directly on Connection and orm.Query.
- the autoincrement flag on column now indicates the column
which should be linked to cursor.lastrowid, if that method
is used. See the API docs for details.
- an executemany() now requires that all bound parameter
sets require that all keys are present which are
present in the first bound parameter set. The structure
and behavior of an insert/update statement is very much
determined by the first parameter set, including which
defaults are going to fire off, and a minimum of
guesswork is performed with all the rest so that performance
is not impacted. For this reason defaults would otherwise
silently "fail" for missing parameters, so this is now guarded
against. [ticket:1566]
- returning() support is native to insert(), update(),
delete(). Implementations of varying levels of
functionality exist for Postgresql, Firebird, MSSQL and
Oracle. returning() can be called explicitly with column
expressions which are then returned in the resultset,
usually via fetchone() or first().
insert() constructs will also use RETURNING implicitly to
get newly generated primary key values, if the database
version in use supports it (a version number check is
performed). This occurs if no end-user returning() was
specified.
- union(), intersect(), except() and other "compound" types
of statements have more consistent behavior w.r.t.
parenthesizing. Each compound element embedded within
another will now be grouped with parenthesis - previously,
the first compound element in the list would not be grouped,
as SQLite doesn't like a statement to start with
parenthesis. However, Postgresql in particular has
precedence rules regarding INTERSECT, and it is
more consistent for parenthesis to be applied equally
to all sub-elements. So now, the workaround for SQLite
is also what the workaround for PG was previously -
when nesting compound elements, the first one usually needs
".alias().select()" called on it to wrap it inside
of a subquery. [ticket:1665]
- insert() and update() constructs can now embed bindparam()
objects using names that match the keys of columns. These
bind parameters will circumvent the usual route to those
keys showing up in the VALUES or SET clause of the generated
SQL. [ticket:1579]
- the Binary type now returns data as a Python string
(or a "bytes" type in Python 3), instead of the built-
in "buffer" type. This allows symmetric round trips
of binary data. [ticket:1524]
- Added a tuple_() construct, allows sets of expressions
to be compared to another set, typically with IN against
composite primary keys or similar. Also accepts an
IN with multiple columns. The "scalar select can
have only one column" error message is removed - will
rely upon the database to report problems with
col mismatch.
- User-defined "default" and "onupdate" callables which
accept a context should now call upon
"context.current_parameters" to get at the dictionary
of bind parameters currently being processed. This
dict is available in the same way regardless of
single-execute or executemany-style statement execution.
- multi-part schema names, i.e. with dots such as
"dbo.master", are now rendered in select() labels
with underscores for dots, i.e. "dbo_master_table_column".
This is a "friendly" label that behaves better
in result sets. [ticket:1428]
- removed needless "counter" behavior with select()
labelnames that match a column name in the table,
i.e. generates "tablename_id" for "id", instead of
"tablename_id_1" in an attempt to avoid naming
conflicts, when the table has a column actually
named "tablename_id" - this is because
the labeling logic is always applied to all columns
so a naming conflict will never occur.
- calling expr.in_([]), i.e. with an empty list, emits a warning
before issuing the usual "expr != expr" clause. The
"expr != expr" can be very expensive, and it's preferred
that the user not issue in_() if the list is empty,
instead simply not querying, or modifying the criterion
as appropriate for more complex situations.
[ticket:1628]
- Added "execution_options()" to select()/text(), which set the
default options for the Connection. See the note in "engines".
- Deprecated or removed:
* "scalar" flag on select() is removed, use
select.as_scalar().
* "shortname" attribute on bindparam() is removed.
* postgres_returning, firebird_returning flags on
insert(), update(), delete() are deprecated, use
the new returning() method.
* fold_equivalents flag on join is deprecated (will remain
until [ticket:1131] is implemented)
- engines
- transaction isolation level may be specified with
create_engine(... isolation_level="..."); available on
postgresql and sqlite. [ticket:443]
- Connection has execution_options(), generative method
which accepts keywords that affect how the statement
is executed w.r.t. the DBAPI. Currently supports
"stream_results", causes psycopg2 to use a server
side cursor for that statement, as well as
"autocommit", which is the new location for the "autocommit"
option from select() and text(). select() and
text() also have .execution_options() as well as
ORM Query().
- fixed the import for entrypoint-driven dialects to
not rely upon silly tb_info trick to determine import
error status. [ticket:1630]
- added first() method to ResultProxy, returns first row and
closes result set immediately.
- RowProxy objects are now pickleable, i.e. the object returned
by result.fetchone(), result.fetchall() etc.
- RowProxy no longer has a close() method, as the row no longer
maintains a reference to the parent. Call close() on
the parent ResultProxy instead, or use autoclose.
- ResultProxy internals have been overhauled to greatly reduce
method call counts when fetching columns. Can provide a large
speed improvement (up to more than 100%) when fetching large
result sets. The improvement is larger when fetching columns
that have no type-level processing applied and when using
results as tuples (instead of as dictionaries). Many
thanks to Elixir's Gaëtan de Menten for this dramatic
improvement ! [ticket:1586]
- Databases which rely upon postfetch of "last inserted id"
to get at a generated sequence value (i.e. MySQL, MS-SQL)
now work correctly when there is a composite primary key
where the "autoincrement" column is not the first primary
key column in the table.
- the last_inserted_ids() method has been renamed to the
descriptor "inserted_primary_key".
- setting echo=False on create_engine() now sets the loglevel
to WARN instead of NOTSET. This so that logging can be
disabled for a particular engine even if logging
for "sqlalchemy.engine" is enabled overall. Note that the
default setting of "echo" is `None`. [ticket:1554]
- ConnectionProxy now has wrapper methods for all transaction
lifecycle events, including begin(), rollback(), commit()
begin_nested(), begin_prepared(), prepare(), release_savepoint(),
etc.
- Connection pool logging now uses both INFO and DEBUG
log levels for logging. INFO is for major events such
as invalidated connections, DEBUG for all the acquire/return
logging. `echo_pool` can be False, None, True or "debug"
the same way as `echo` works.
- All pyodbc-dialects now support extra pyodbc-specific
kw arguments 'ansi', 'unicode_results', 'autocommit'.
[ticket:1621]
- the "threadlocal" engine has been rewritten and simplified
and now supports SAVEPOINT operations.
- deprecated or removed
* result.last_inserted_ids() is deprecated. Use
result.inserted_primary_key
* dialect.get_default_schema_name(connection) is now
public via dialect.default_schema_name.
* the "connection" argument from engine.transaction() and
engine.run_callable() is removed - Connection itself
now has those methods. All four methods accept
*args and **kwargs which are passed to the given callable,
as well as the operating connection.
- schema
- the `__contains__()` method of `MetaData` now accepts
strings or `Table` objects as arguments. If given
a `Table`, the argument is converted to `table.key` first,
i.e. "[schemaname.]<tablename>" [ticket:1541]
- deprecated MetaData.connect() and
ThreadLocalMetaData.connect() have been removed - send
the "bind" attribute to bind a metadata.
- deprecated metadata.table_iterator() method removed (use
sorted_tables)
- deprecated PassiveDefault - use DefaultClause.
- the "metadata" argument is removed from DefaultGenerator
and subclasses, but remains locally present on Sequence,
which is a standalone construct in DDL.
- Removed public mutability from Index and Constraint
objects:
- ForeignKeyConstraint.append_element()
- Index.append_column()
- UniqueConstraint.append_column()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.add()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.remove()
These should be constructed declaratively (i.e. in one
construction).
- The "start" and "increment" attributes on Sequence now
generate "START WITH" and "INCREMENT BY" by default,
on Oracle and Postgresql. Firebird doesn't support
these keywords right now. [ticket:1545]
- UniqueConstraint, Index, PrimaryKeyConstraint all accept
lists of column names or column objects as arguments.
- Other removed things:
- Table.key (no idea what this was for)
- Table.primary_key is not assignable - use
table.append_constraint(PrimaryKeyConstraint(...))
- Column.bind (get via column.table.bind)
- Column.metadata (get via column.table.metadata)
- Column.sequence (use column.default)
- ForeignKey(constraint=some_parent) (is now private _constraint)
- The use_alter flag on ForeignKey is now a shortcut option
for operations that can be hand-constructed using the
DDL() event system. A side effect of this refactor is
that ForeignKeyConstraint objects with use_alter=True
will *not* be emitted on SQLite, which does not support
ALTER for foreign keys.
- ForeignKey and ForeignKeyConstraint objects now correctly
copy() all their public keyword arguments. [ticket:1605]
- Reflection/Inspection
- Table reflection has been expanded and generalized into
a new API called "sqlalchemy.engine.reflection.Inspector".
The Inspector object provides fine-grained information about
a wide variety of schema information, with room for expansion,
including table names, column names, view definitions, sequences,
indexes, etc.
- Views are now reflectable as ordinary Table objects. The same
Table constructor is used, with the caveat that "effective"
primary and foreign key constraints aren't part of the reflection
results; these have to be specified explicitly if desired.
- The existing autoload=True system now uses Inspector underneath
so that each dialect need only return "raw" data about tables
and other objects - Inspector is the single place that information
is compiled into Table objects so that consistency is at a maximum.
- DDL
- the DDL system has been greatly expanded. the DDL() class
now extends the more generic DDLElement(), which forms the basis
of many new constructs:
- CreateTable()
- DropTable()
- AddConstraint()
- DropConstraint()
- CreateIndex()
- DropIndex()
- CreateSequence()
- DropSequence()
These support "on" and "execute-at()" just like plain DDL()
does. User-defined DDLElement subclasses can be created and
linked to a compiler using the sqlalchemy.ext.compiler extension.
- The signature of the "on" callable passed to DDL() and
DDLElement() is revised as follows:
"ddl" - the DDLElement object itself.
"event" - the string event name.
"target" - previously "schema_item", the Table or
MetaData object triggering the event.
"connection" - the Connection object in use for the operation.
**kw - keyword arguments. In the case of MetaData before/after
create/drop, the list of Table objects for which
CREATE/DROP DDL is to be issued is passed as the kw
argument "tables". This is necessary for metadata-level
DDL that is dependent on the presence of specific tables.
- the "schema_item" attribute of DDL has been renamed to
"target".
- dialect refactor
- Dialect modules are now broken into database dialects
plus DBAPI implementations. Connect URLs are now
preferred to be specified using dialect+driver://...,
i.e. "mysql+mysqldb://scott:tiger@localhost/test". See
the 0.6 documentation for examples.
- the setuptools entrypoint for external dialects is now
called "sqlalchemy.dialects".
- the "owner" keyword argument is removed from Table. Use
"schema" to represent any namespaces to be prepended to
the table name.
- server_version_info becomes a static attribute.
- dialects receive an initialize() event on initial
connection to determine connection properties.
- dialects receive a visit_pool event have an opportunity
to establish pool listeners.
- cached TypeEngine classes are cached per-dialect class
instead of per-dialect.
- new UserDefinedType should be used as a base class for
new types, which preserves the 0.5 behavior of
get_col_spec().
- The result_processor() method of all type classes now
accepts a second argument "coltype", which is the DBAPI
type argument from cursor.description. This argument
can help some types decide on the most efficient processing
of result values.
- Deprecated Dialect.get_params() removed.
- Dialect.get_rowcount() has been renamed to a descriptor
"rowcount", and calls cursor.rowcount directly. Dialects
which need to hardwire a rowcount in for certain calls
should override the method to provide different behavior.
- DefaultRunner and subclasses have been removed. The job
of this object has been simplified and moved into
ExecutionContext. Dialects which support sequences should
add a `fire_sequence()` method to their execution context
implementation. [ticket:1566]
- Functions and operators generated by the compiler now use
(almost) regular dispatch functions of the form
"visit_<opname>" and "visit_<funcname>_fn" to provide
customed processing. This replaces the need to copy the
"functions" and "operators" dictionaries in compiler
subclasses with straightforward visitor methods, and also
allows compiler subclasses complete control over
rendering, as the full _Function or _BinaryExpression
object is passed in.
- postgresql
- New dialects: pg8000, zxjdbc, and pypostgresql
on py3k.
- The "postgres" dialect is now named "postgresql" !
Connection strings look like:
postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test
postgresql+pg8000://scott:tiger@localhost/test
The "postgres" name remains for backwards compatiblity
in the following ways:
- There is a "postgres.py" dummy dialect which
allows old URLs to work, i.e.
postgres://scott:tiger@localhost/test
- The "postgres" name can be imported from the old
"databases" module, i.e. "from
sqlalchemy.databases import postgres" as well as
"dialects", "from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgres
import base as pg", will send a deprecation
warning.
- Special expression arguments are now named
"postgresql_returning" and "postgresql_where", but
the older "postgres_returning" and
"postgres_where" names still work with a
deprecation warning.
- "postgresql_where" now accepts SQL expressions which
can also include literals, which will be quoted as needed.
- The psycopg2 dialect now uses psycopg2's "unicode extension"
on all new connections, which allows all String/Text/etc.
types to skip the need to post-process bytestrings into
unicode (an expensive step due to its volume). Other
dialects which return unicode natively (pg8000, zxjdbc)
also skip unicode post-processing.
- Added new ENUM type, which exists as a schema-level
construct and extends the generic Enum type. Automatically
associates itself with tables and their parent metadata
to issue the appropriate CREATE TYPE/DROP TYPE
commands as needed, supports unicode labels, supports
reflection. [ticket:1511]
- INTERVAL supports an optional "precision" argument
corresponding to the argument that PG accepts.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
psycopg2 can't handle a bind parameter name of
%(foobar)s however and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead
just to treat that one non-existent use case.
[ticket:1279]
- Inserting NULL into a primary key + foreign key column
will allow the "not null constraint" error to raise,
not an attempt to execute a nonexistent "col_id_seq"
sequence. [ticket:1516]
- autoincrement SELECT statements, i.e. those which
select from a procedure that modifies rows, now work
with server-side cursor mode (the named cursor isn't
used for such statements.)
- postgresql dialect can properly detect pg "devel" version
strings, i.e. "8.5devel" [ticket:1636]
- The psycopg2 now respects the statement option
"stream_results". This option overrides the connection setting
"server_side_cursors". If true, server side cursors will be
used for the statement. If false, they will not be used, even
if "server_side_cursors" is true on the
connection. [ticket:1619]
- mysql
- New dialects: oursql, a new native dialect,
MySQL Connector/Python, a native Python port of MySQLdb,
and of course zxjdbc on Jython.
- VARCHAR/NVARCHAR will not render without a length, raises
an error before passing to MySQL. Doesn't impact
CAST since VARCHAR is not allowed in MySQL CAST anyway,
the dialect renders CHAR/NCHAR in those cases.
- all the _detect_XXX() functions now run once underneath
dialect.initialize()
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
MySQLdb can't handle % signs in SQL when executemany() is used,
and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead just to treat that one
non-existent use case. [ticket:1279]
- the BINARY and MSBinary types now generate "BINARY" in all
cases. Omitting the "length" parameter will generate
"BINARY" with no length. Use BLOB to generate an unlengthed
binary column.
- the "quoting='quoted'" argument to MSEnum/ENUM is deprecated.
It's best to rely upon the automatic quoting.
- ENUM now subclasses the new generic Enum type, and also handles
unicode values implicitly, if the given labelnames are unicode
objects.
- a column of type TIMESTAMP now defaults to NULL if
"nullable=False" is not passed to Column(), and no default
is present. This is now consistent with all other types,
and in the case of TIMESTAMP explictly renders "NULL"
due to MySQL's "switching" of default nullability
for TIMESTAMP columns. [ticket:1539]
- oracle
- unit tests pass 100% with cx_oracle !
- support for cx_Oracle's "native unicode" mode which does
not require NLS_LANG to be set. Use the latest 5.0.2 or
later of cx_oracle.
- an NCLOB type is added to the base types.
- use_ansi=False won't leak into the FROM/WHERE clause of
a statement that's selecting from a subquery that also
uses JOIN/OUTERJOIN.
- added native INTERVAL type to the dialect. This supports
only the DAY TO SECOND interval type so far due to lack
of support in cx_oracle for YEAR TO MONTH. [ticket:1467]
- usage of the CHAR type results in cx_oracle's
FIXED_CHAR dbapi type being bound to statements.
- the Oracle dialect now features NUMBER which intends
to act justlike Oracle's NUMBER type. It is the primary
numeric type returned by table reflection and attempts
to return Decimal()/float/int based on the precision/scale
parameters. [ticket:885]
- func.char_length is a generic function for LENGTH
- ForeignKey() which includes onupdate=<value> will emit a
warning, not emit ON UPDATE CASCADE which is unsupported
by oracle
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- using types.BigInteger with Oracle will generate
NUMBER(19) [ticket:1125]
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- firebird
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- mssql
- MSSQL + Pyodbc + FreeTDS now works for the most part,
with possible exceptions regarding binary data as well as
unicode schema identifiers.
- the "has_window_funcs" flag is removed. LIMIT/OFFSET
usage will use ROW NUMBER as always, and if on an older
version of SQL Server, the operation fails. The behavior
is exactly the same except the error is raised by SQL
server instead of the dialect, and no flag setting is
required to enable it.
- the "auto_identity_insert" flag is removed. This feature
always takes effect when an INSERT statement overrides a
column that is known to have a sequence on it. As with
"has_window_funcs", if the underlying driver doesn't
support this, then you can't do this operation in any
case, so there's no point in having a flag.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- removed references to sequence which is no longer used.
implicit identities in mssql work the same as implicit
sequences on any other dialects. Explicit sequences are
enabled through the use of "default=Sequence()". See
the MSSQL dialect documentation for more information.
- sqlite
- DATE, TIME and DATETIME types can now take optional storage_format
and regexp argument. storage_format can be used to store those types
using a custom string format. regexp allows to use a custom regular
expression to match string values from the database.
- Time and DateTime types now use by a default a stricter regular
expression to match strings from the database. Use the regexp
argument if you are using data stored in a legacy format.
- __legacy_microseconds__ on SQLite Time and DateTime types is not
supported anymore. You should use the storage_format argument
instead.
- Date, Time and DateTime types are now stricter in what they accept as
bind parameters: Date type only accepts date objects (and datetime
ones, because they inherit from date), Time only accepts time
objects, and DateTime only accepts date and datetime objects.
- Table() supports a keyword argument "sqlite_autoincrement", which
applies the SQLite keyword "AUTOINCREMENT" to the single integer
primary key column when generating DDL. Will prevent generation of
a separate PRIMARY KEY constraint. [ticket:1016]
- new dialects
- postgresql+pg8000
- postgresql+pypostgresql (partial)
- postgresql+zxjdbc
- mysql+pyodbc
- mysql+zxjdbc
- types
- The construction of types within dialects has been totally
overhauled. Dialects now define publically available types
as UPPERCASE names exclusively, and internal implementation
types using underscore identifiers (i.e. are private).
The system by which types are expressed in SQL and DDL
has been moved to the compiler system. This has the
effect that there are much fewer type objects within
most dialects. A detailed document on this architecture
for dialect authors is in
lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/type_migration_guidelines.txt .
- Types no longer make any guesses as to default
parameters. In particular, Numeric, Float, NUMERIC,
FLOAT, DECIMAL don't generate any length or scale unless
specified.
- types.Binary is renamed to types.LargeBinary, it only
produces BLOB, BYTEA, or a similar "long binary" type.
New base BINARY and VARBINARY
types have been added to access these MySQL/MS-SQL specific
types in an agnostic way [ticket:1664].
- String/Text/Unicode types now skip the unicode() check
on each result column value if the dialect has
detected the DBAPI as returning Python unicode objects
natively. This check is issued on first connect
using "SELECT CAST 'some text' AS VARCHAR(10)" or
equivalent, then checking if the returned object
is a Python unicode. This allows vast performance
increases for native-unicode DBAPIs, including
pysqlite/sqlite3, psycopg2, and pg8000.
- Most types result processors have been checked for possible speed
improvements. Specifically, the following generic types have been
optimized, resulting in varying speed improvements:
Unicode, PickleType, Interval, TypeDecorator, Binary.
Also the following dbapi-specific implementations have been improved:
Time, Date and DateTime on Sqlite, ARRAY on Postgresql,
Time on MySQL, Numeric(as_decimal=False) on MySQL, oursql and
pypostgresql, DateTime on cx_oracle and LOB-based types on cx_oracle.
- Reflection of types now returns the exact UPPERCASE
type within types.py, or the UPPERCASE type within
the dialect itself if the type is not a standard SQL
type. This means reflection now returns more accurate
information about reflected types.
- Added a new Enum generic type. Enum is a schema-aware object
to support databases which require specific DDL in order to
use enum or equivalent; in the case of PG it handles the
details of `CREATE TYPE`, and on other databases without
native enum support will by generate VARCHAR + an inline CHECK
constraint to enforce the enum.
[ticket:1109] [ticket:1511]
- The Interval type includes a "native" flag which controls
if native INTERVAL types (postgresql + oracle) are selected
if available, or not. "day_precision" and "second_precision"
arguments are also added which propagate as appropriately
to these native types. Related to [ticket:1467].
- The Boolean type, when used on a backend that doesn't
have native boolean support, will generate a CHECK
constraint "col IN (0, 1)" along with the int/smallint-
based column type. This can be switched off if
desired with create_constraint=False.
Note that MySQL has no native boolean *or* CHECK constraint
support so this feature isn't available on that platform.
[ticket:1589]
- PickleType now uses == for comparison of values when
mutable=True, unless the "comparator" argument with a
comparsion function is specified to the type. Objects
being pickled will be compared based on identity (which
defeats the purpose of mutable=True) if __eq__() is not
overridden or a comparison function is not provided.
- The default "precision" and "scale" arguments of Numeric
and Float have been removed and now default to None.
NUMERIC and FLOAT will be rendered with no numeric
arguments by default unless these values are provided.
- AbstractType.get_search_list() is removed - the games
that was used for are no longer necessary.
- Added a generic BigInteger type, compiles to
BIGINT or NUMBER(19). [ticket:1125]
-ext
- sqlsoup has been overhauled to explicitly support an 0.5 style
session, using autocommit=False, autoflush=True. Default
behavior of SQLSoup now requires the usual usage of commit()
and rollback(), which have been added to its interface. An
explcit Session or scoped_session can be passed to the
constructor, allowing these arguments to be overridden.
- sqlsoup db.<sometable>.update() and delete() now call
query(cls).update() and delete(), respectively.
- sqlsoup now has execute() and connection(), which call upon
the Session methods of those names, ensuring that the bind is
in terms of the SqlSoup object's bind.
- sqlsoup objects no longer have the 'query' attribute - it's
not needed for sqlsoup's usage paradigm and it gets in the
way of a column that is actually named 'query'.
- The signature of the proxy_factory callable passed to
association_proxy is now (lazy_collection, creator,
value_attr, association_proxy), adding a fourth argument
that is the parent AssociationProxy argument. Allows
serializability and subclassing of the built in collections.
[ticket:1259]
- association_proxy now has basic comparator methods .any(),
.has(), .contains(), ==, !=, thanks to Scott Torborg.
[ticket:1372]
- examples
- The "query_cache" examples have been removed, and are replaced
with a fully comprehensive approach that combines the usage of
Beaker with SQLAlchemy. New query options are used to indicate
the caching characteristics of a particular Query, which
can also be invoked deep within an object graph when lazily
loading related objects. See /examples/beaker_caching/README.
0.5.9
=====
- sql
- Fixed erroneous self_group() call in expression package.
[ticket:1661]
0.5.8
=====
- sql
- The copy() method on Column now supports uninitialized,
unnamed Column objects. This allows easy creation of
declarative helpers which place common columns on multiple
subclasses.
- Default generators like Sequence() translate correctly
across a copy() operation.
- Sequence() and other DefaultGenerator objects are accepted
as the value for the "default" and "onupdate" keyword
arguments of Column, in addition to being accepted
positionally.
- Fixed a column arithmetic bug that affected column
correspondence for cloned selectables which contain
free-standing column expressions. This bug is
generally only noticeable when exercising newer
ORM behavior only availble in 0.6 via [ticket:1568],
but is more correct at the SQL expression level
as well. [ticket:1617]
- postgresql
- The extract() function, which was slightly improved in
0.5.7, needed a lot more work to generate the correct
typecast (the typecasts appear to be necessary in PG's
EXTRACT quite a lot of the time). The typecast is
now generated using a rule dictionary based
on PG's documentation for date/time/interval arithmetic.
It also accepts text() constructs again, which was broken
in 0.5.7. [ticket:1647]
- firebird
- Recognize more errors as disconnections. [ticket:1646]
0.5.7
=====
- orm
- contains_eager() now works with the automatically
generated subquery that results when you say
"query(Parent).join(Parent.somejoinedsubclass)", i.e.
when Parent joins to a joined-table-inheritance subclass.
Previously contains_eager() would erroneously add the
subclass table to the query separately producing a
cartesian product. An example is in the ticket
description. [ticket:1543]
- query.options() now only propagate to loaded objects
for potential further sub-loads only for options where
such behavior is relevant, keeping
various unserializable options like those generated
by contains_eager() out of individual instance states.
[ticket:1553]
- Session.execute() now locates table- and
mapper-specific binds based on a passed
in expression which is an insert()/update()/delete()
construct. [ticket:1054]
- Session.merge() now properly overwrites a many-to-one or
uselist=False attribute to None if the attribute
is also None in the given object to be merged.
- Fixed a needless select which would occur when merging
transient objects that contained a null primary key
identifier. [ticket:1618]
- Mutable collection passed to the "extension" attribute
of relation(), column_property() etc. will not be mutated
or shared among multiple instrumentation calls, preventing
duplicate extensions, such as backref populators,
from being inserted into the list.
[ticket:1585]
- Fixed the call to get_committed_value() on CompositeProperty.
[ticket:1504]
- Fixed bug where Query would crash if a join() with no clear
"left" side were called when a non-mapped column entity
appeared in the columns list. [ticket:1602]
- Fixed bug whereby composite columns wouldn't load properly
when configured on a joined-table subclass, introduced in
version 0.5.6 as a result of the fix for [ticket:1480].
[ticket:1616] thx to Scott Torborg.
- The "use get" behavior of many-to-one relations, i.e. that a
lazy load will fallback to the possibly cached query.get()
value, now works across join conditions where the two compared
types are not exactly the same class, but share the same
"affinity" - i.e. Integer and SmallInteger. Also allows
combinations of reflected and non-reflected types to work
with 0.5 style type reflection, such as PGText/Text (note 0.6
reflects types as their generic versions). [ticket:1556]
- Fixed bug in query.update() when passing Cls.attribute
as keys in the value dict and using synchronize_session='expire'
('fetch' in 0.6). [ticket:1436]
- sql
- Fixed bug in two-phase transaction whereby commit() method
didn't set the full state which allows subsequent close()
call to succeed. [ticket:1603]
- Fixed the "numeric" paramstyle, which apparently is the
default paramstyle used by Informixdb.
- Repeat expressions in the columns clause of a select
are deduped based on the identity of each clause element,
not the actual string. This allows positional
elements to render correctly even if they all render
identically, such as "qmark" style bind parameters.
[ticket:1574]
- The cursor associated with connection pool connections
(i.e. _CursorFairy) now proxies `__iter__()` to the
underlying cursor correctly. [ticket:1632]
- types now support an "affinity comparison" operation, i.e.
that an Integer/SmallInteger are "compatible", or
a Text/String, PickleType/Binary, etc. Part of
[ticket:1556].
- Fixed bug preventing alias() of an alias() from being
cloned or adapted (occurs frequently in ORM operations).
[ticket:1641]
- sqlite
- sqlite dialect properly generates CREATE INDEX for a table
that is in an alternate schema. [ticket:1439]
- postgresql
- Added support for reflecting the DOUBLE PRECISION type,
via a new postgres.PGDoublePrecision object.
This is postgresql.DOUBLE_PRECISION in 0.6.
[ticket:1085]
- Added support for reflecting the INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND syntaxes of the INTERVAL
type. [ticket:460]
- Corrected the "has_sequence" query to take current schema,
or explicit sequence-stated schema, into account.
[ticket:1576]
- Fixed the behavior of extract() to apply operator
precedence rules to the "::" operator when applying
the "timestamp" cast - ensures proper parenthesization.
[ticket:1611]
- mssql
- Changed the name of TrustedConnection to
Trusted_Connection when constructing pyodbc connect
arguments [ticket:1561]
- oracle
- The "table_names" dialect function, used by MetaData
.reflect(), omits "index overflow tables", a system
table generated by Oracle when "index only tables"
with overflow are used. These tables aren't accessible
via SQL and can't be reflected. [ticket:1637]
- ext
- A column can be added to a joined-table declarative
superclass after the class has been constructed
(i.e. via class-level attribute assignment), and
the column will be propagated down to
subclasses. [ticket:1570] This is the reverse
situation as that of [ticket:1523], fixed in 0.5.6.
- Fixed a slight inaccuracy in the sharding example.
Comparing equivalence of columns in the ORM is best
accomplished using col1.shares_lineage(col2).
[ticket:1491]
- Removed unused `load()` method from ShardedQuery.
[ticket:1606]

Update SQLalchemy to version 0.6.0.
Changes since 0.5.6:
0.6.0
=====
- orm
- Unit of work internals have been rewritten. Units of work
with large numbers of objects interdependent objects
can now be flushed without recursion overflows
as there is no longer reliance upon recursive calls
[ticket:1081]. The number of internal structures now stays
constant for a particular session state, regardless of
how many relationships are present on mappings. The flow
of events now corresponds to a linear list of steps,
generated by the mappers and relationships based on actual
work to be done, filtered through a single topological sort
for correct ordering. Flush actions are assembled using
far fewer steps and less memory. [ticket:1742]
- Along with the UOW rewrite, this also removes an issue
introduced in 0.6beta3 regarding topological cycle detection
for units of work with long dependency cycles. We now use
an algorithm written by Guido (thanks Guido!).
- one-to-many relationships now maintain a list of positive
parent-child associations within the flush, preventing
previous parents marked as deleted from cascading a
delete or NULL foreign key set on those child objects,
despite the end-user not removing the child from the old
association. [ticket:1764]
- A collection lazy load will switch off default
eagerloading on the reverse many-to-one side, since
that loading is by definition unnecessary. [ticket:1495]
- Session.refresh() now does an equivalent expire()
on the given instance first, so that the "refresh-expire"
cascade is propagated. Previously, refresh() was
not affected in any way by the presence of "refresh-expire"
cascade. This is a change in behavior versus that
of 0.6beta2, where the "lockmode" flag passed to refresh()
would cause a version check to occur. Since the instance
is first expired, refresh() always upgrades the object
to the most recent version.
- The 'refresh-expire' cascade, when reaching a pending object,
will expunge the object if the cascade also includes
"delete-orphan", or will simply detach it otherwise.
[ticket:1754]
- id(obj) is no longer used internally within topological.py,
as the sorting functions now require hashable objects
only. [ticket:1756]
- The ORM will set the docstring of all generated descriptors
to None by default. This can be overridden using 'doc'
(or if using Sphinx, attribute docstrings work too).
- Added kw argument 'doc' to all mapper property callables
as well as Column(). Will assemble the string 'doc' as
the '__doc__' attribute on the descriptor.
- Usage of version_id_col on a backend that supports
cursor.rowcount for execute() but not executemany() now works
when a delete is issued (already worked for saves, since those
don't use executemany()). For a backend that doesn't support
cursor.rowcount at all, a warning is emitted the same
as with saves. [ticket:1761]
- The ORM now short-term caches the "compiled" form of
insert() and update() constructs when flushing lists of
objects of all the same class, thereby avoiding redundant
compilation per individual INSERT/UPDATE within an
individual flush() call.
- internal getattr(), setattr(), getcommitted() methods
on ColumnProperty, CompositeProperty, RelationshipProperty
have been underscored (i.e. are private), signature has
changed.
- engines
- The C extension now also works with DBAPIs which use custom
sequences as row (and not only tuples). [ticket:1757]
- sql
- Restored some bind-labeling logic from 0.5 which ensures
that tables with column names that overlap another column
of the form "<tablename>_<columnname>" won't produce
errors if column._label is used as a bind name during
an UPDATE. Test coverage which wasn't present in 0.5
has been added. [ticket:1755]
- somejoin.select(fold_equivalents=True) is no longer
deprecated, and will eventually be rolled into a more
comprehensive version of the feature for [ticket:1729].
- the Numeric type raises an *enormous* warning when expected
to convert floats to Decimal from a DBAPI that returns floats.
This includes SQLite, Sybase, MS-SQL. [ticket:1759]
- Fixed an error in expression typing which caused an endless
loop for expressions with two NULL types.
- Fixed bug in execution_options() feature whereby the existing
Transaction and other state information from the parent
connection would not be propagated to the sub-connection.
- Added new 'compiled_cache' execution option. A dictionary
where Compiled objects will be cached when the Connection
compiles a clause expression into a dialect- and parameter-
specific Compiled object. It is the user's responsibility to
manage the size of this dictionary, which will have keys
corresponding to the dialect, clause element, the column
names within the VALUES or SET clause of an INSERT or UPDATE,
as well as the "batch" mode for an INSERT or UPDATE statement.
- Added get_pk_constraint() to reflection.Inspector, similar
to get_primary_keys() except returns a dict that includes the
name of the constraint, for supported backends (PG so far).
[ticket:1769]
- Table.create() and Table.drop() no longer apply metadata-
level create/drop events. [ticket:1771]
- ext
- the compiler extension now allows @compiles decorators
on base classes that extend to child classes, @compiles
decorators on child classes that aren't broken by a
@compiles decorator on the base class.
- Declarative will raise an informative error message
if a non-mapped class attribute is referenced in the
string-based relationship() arguments.
- Further reworked the "mixin" logic in declarative to
additionally allow __mapper_args__ as a @classproperty
on a mixin, such as to dynamically assign polymorphic_identity.
- postgresql
- Postgresql now reflects sequence names associated with
SERIAL columns correctly, after the name of of the sequence
has been changed. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the patch.
[ticket:1071]
- Repaired missing import in psycopg2._PGNumeric type when
unknown numeric is received.
- psycopg2/pg8000 dialects now aware of REAL[], FLOAT[],
DOUBLE_PRECISION[], NUMERIC[] return types without
raising an exception.
- Postgresql reflects the name of primary key constraints,
if one exists. [ticket:1769]
- oracle
- Now using cx_oracle output converters so that the
DBAPI returns natively the kinds of values we prefer:
- NUMBER values with positive precision + scale convert
to cx_oracle.STRING and then to Decimal. This
allows perfect precision for the Numeric type when
using cx_oracle. [ticket:1759]
- STRING/FIXED_CHAR now convert to unicode natively.
SQLAlchemy's String types then don't need to
apply any kind of conversions.
- firebird
- The functionality of result.rowcount can be disabled on a
per-engine basis by setting 'enable_rowcount=False'
on create_engine(). Normally, cursor.rowcount is called
after any UPDATE or DELETE statement unconditionally,
because the cursor is then closed and Firebird requires
an open cursor in order to get a rowcount. This
call is slightly expensive however so it can be disabled.
To re-enable on a per-execution basis, the
'enable_rowcount=True' execution option may be used.
- examples
- Updated attribute_shard.py example to use a more robust
method of searching a Query for binary expressions which
compare columns against literal values.
0.6beta3
========
- orm
- Major feature: Added new "subquery" loading capability to
relationship(). This is an eager loading option which
generates a second SELECT for each collection represented
in a query, across all parents at once. The query
re-issues the original end-user query wrapped in a subquery,
applies joins out to the target collection, and loads
all those collections fully in one result, similar to
"joined" eager loading but using all inner joins and not
re-fetching full parent rows repeatedly (as most DBAPIs seem
to do, even if columns are skipped). Subquery loading is
available at mapper config level using "lazy='subquery'" and
at the query options level using "subqueryload(props..)",
"subqueryload_all(props...)". [ticket:1675]
- To accomodate the fact that there are now two kinds of eager
loading available, the new names for eagerload() and
eagerload_all() are joinedload() and joinedload_all(). The
old names will remain as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- The "lazy" flag on the relationship() function now accepts
a string argument for all kinds of loading: "select", "joined",
"subquery", "noload" and "dynamic", where the default is now
"select". The old values of True/
False/None still retain their usual meanings and will remain
as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- Added with_hint() method to Query() construct. This calls
directly down to select().with_hint() and also accepts
entities as well as tables and aliases. See with_hint() in the
SQL section below. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug in Query whereby calling q.join(prop).from_self(...).
join(prop) would fail to render the second join outside the
subquery, when joining on the same criterion as was on the
inside.
- Fixed bug in Query whereby the usage of aliased() constructs
would fail if the underlying table (but not the actual alias)
were referenced inside the subquery generated by
q.from_self() or q.select_from().
- Fixed bug which affected all eagerload() and similar options
such that "remote" eager loads, i.e. eagerloads off of a lazy
load such as query(A).options(eagerload(A.b, B.c))
wouldn't eagerload anything, but using eagerload("b.c") would
work fine.
- Query gains an add_columns(*columns) method which is a multi-
version of add_column(col). add_column(col) is future
deprecated.
- Query.join() will detect if the end result will be
"FROM A JOIN A", and will raise an error if so.
- Query.join(Cls.propname, from_joinpoint=True) will check more
carefully that "Cls" is compatible with the current joinpoint,
and act the same way as Query.join("propname", from_joinpoint=True)
in that regard.
- sql
- Added with_hint() method to select() construct. Specify
a table/alias, hint text, and optional dialect name, and
"hints" will be rendered in the appropriate place in the
statement. Works for Oracle, Sybase, MySQL. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug introduced in 0.6beta2 where column labels would
render inside of column expressions already assigned a label.
[ticket:1747]
- postgresql
- The psycopg2 dialect will log NOTICE messages via the
"sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql" logger name.
[ticket:877]
- the TIME and TIMESTAMP types are now availble from the
postgresql dialect directly, which add the PG-specific
argument 'precision' to both. 'precision' and
'timezone' are correctly reflected for both TIME and
TIMEZONE types. [ticket:997]
- mysql
- No longer guessing that TINYINT(1) should be BOOLEAN
when reflecting - TINYINT(1) is returned. Use Boolean/
BOOLEAN in table definition to get boolean conversion
behavior. [ticket:1752]
- oracle
- The Oracle dialect will issue VARCHAR type definitions
using character counts, i.e. VARCHAR2(50 CHAR), so that
the column is sized in terms of characters and not bytes.
Column reflection of character types will also use
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.CHAR_LENGTH instead of
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.DATA_LENGTH. Both of these behaviors take
effect when the server version is 9 or higher - for
version 8, the old behaviors are used. [ticket:1744]
- declarative
- Using a mixin won't break if the mixin implements an
unpredictable __getattribute__(), i.e. Zope interfaces.
[ticket:1746]
- Using @classdecorator and similar on mixins to define
__tablename__, __table_args__, etc. now works if
the method references attributes on the ultimate
subclass. [ticket:1749]
- relationships and columns with foreign keys aren't
allowed on declarative mixins, sorry. [ticket:1751]
- ext
- The sqlalchemy.orm.shard module now becomes an extension,
sqlalchemy.ext.horizontal_shard. The old import
works with a deprecation warning.
0.6beta2
========
- py3k
- Improved the installation/test setup regarding Python 3,
now that Distribute runs on Py3k. distribute_setup.py
is now included. See README.py3k for Python 3 installation/
testing instructions.
- orm
- The official name for the relation() function is now
relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational
algebra term. relation() however will remain available
in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
- Added "version_id_generator" argument to Mapper, this is a
callable that, given the current value of the "version_id_col",
returns the next version number. Can be used for alternate
versioning schemes such as uuid, timestamps. [ticket:1692]
- added "lockmode" kw argument to Session.refresh(), will
pass through the string value to Query the same as
in with_lockmode(), will also do version check for a
version_id_col-enabled mapping.
- Fixed bug whereby calling query(A).join(A.bs).add_entity(B)
in a joined inheritance scenario would double-add B as a
target and produce an invalid query. [ticket:1188]
- Fixed bug in session.rollback() which involved not removing
formerly "pending" objects from the session before
re-integrating "deleted" objects, typically occured with
natural primary keys. If there was a primary key conflict
between them, the attach of the deleted would fail
internally. The formerly "pending" objects are now expunged
first. [ticket:1674]
- Removed a lot of logging that nobody really cares about,
logging that remains will respond to live changes in the
log level. No significant overhead is added. [ticket:1719]
- Fixed bug in session.merge() which prevented dict-like
collections from merging.
- session.merge() works with relations that specifically
don't include "merge" in their cascade options - the target
is ignored completely.
- session.merge() will not expire existing scalar attributes
on an existing target if the target has a value for that
attribute, even if the incoming merged doesn't have
a value for the attribute. This prevents unnecessary loads
on existing items. Will still mark the attr as expired
if the destination doesn't have the attr, though, which
fulfills some contracts of deferred cols. [ticket:1681]
- The "allow_null_pks" flag is now called "allow_partial_pks",
defaults to True, acts like it did in 0.5 again. Except,
it also is implemented within merge() such that a SELECT
won't be issued for an incoming instance with partially
NULL primary key if the flag is False. [ticket:1680]
- Fixed bug in 0.6-reworked "many-to-one" optimizations
such that a many-to-one that is against a non-primary key
column on the remote table (i.e. foreign key against a
UNIQUE column) will pull the "old" value in from the
database during a change, since if it's in the session
we will need it for proper history/backref accounting,
and we can't pull from the local identity map on a
non-primary key column. [ticket:1737]
- fixed internal error which would occur if calling has()
or similar complex expression on a single-table inheritance
relation(). [ticket:1731]
- query.one() no longer applies LIMIT to the query, this to
ensure that it fully counts all object identities present
in the result, even in the case where joins may conceal
multiple identities for two or more rows. As a bonus,
one() can now also be called with a query that issued
from_statement() to start with since it no longer modifies
the query. [ticket:1688]
- query.get() now returns None if queried for an identifier
that is present in the identity map with a different class
than the one requested, i.e. when using polymorphic loading.
[ticket:1727]
- A major fix in query.join(), when the "on" clause is an
attribute of an aliased() construct, but there is already
an existing join made out to a compatible target, query properly
joins to the right aliased() construct instead of sticking
onto the right side of the existing join. [ticket:1706]
- Slight improvement to the fix for [ticket:1362] to not issue
needless updates of the primary key column during a so-called
"row switch" operation, i.e. add + delete of two objects
with the same PK.
- Now uses sqlalchemy.orm.exc.DetachedInstanceError when an
attribute load or refresh action fails due to object
being detached from any Session. UnboundExecutionError
is specific to engines bound to sessions and statements.
- Query called in the context of an expression will render
disambiguating labels in all cases. Note that this does
not apply to the existing .statement and .subquery()
accessor/method, which still honors the .with_labels()
setting that defaults to False.
- Query.union() retains disambiguating labels within the
returned statement, thus avoiding various SQL composition
errors which can result from column name conflicts.
[ticket:1676]
- Fixed bug in attribute history that inadvertently invoked
__eq__ on mapped instances.
- Some internal streamlining of object loading grants a
small speedup for large results, estimates are around
10-15%. Gave the "state" internals a good solid
cleanup with less complexity, datamembers,
method calls, blank dictionary creates.
- Documentation clarification for query.delete()
[ticket:1689]
- Fixed cascade bug in many-to-one relation() when attribute
was set to None, introduced in r6711 (cascade deleted
items into session during add()).
- Calling query.order_by() or query.distinct() before calling
query.select_from(), query.with_polymorphic(), or
query.from_statement() raises an exception now instead of
silently dropping those criterion. [ticket:1736]
- query.scalar() now raises an exception if more than one
row is returned. All other behavior remains the same.
[ticket:1735]
- Fixed bug which caused "row switch" logic, that is an
INSERT and DELETE replaced by an UPDATE, to fail when
version_id_col was in use. [ticket:1692]
- sql
- join() will now simulate a NATURAL JOIN by default. Meaning,
if the left side is a join, it will attempt to join the right
side to the rightmost side of the left first, and not raise
any exceptions about ambiguous join conditions if successful
even if there are further join targets across the rest of
the left. [ticket:1714]
- The most common result processors conversion function were
moved to the new "processors" module. Dialect authors are
encouraged to use those functions whenever they correspond
to their needs instead of implementing custom ones.
- SchemaType and subclasses Boolean, Enum are now serializable,
including their ddl listener and other event callables.
[ticket:1694] [ticket:1698]
- Some platforms will now interpret certain literal values
as non-bind parameters, rendered literally into the SQL
statement. This to support strict SQL-92 rules that are
enforced by some platforms including MS-SQL and Sybase.
In this model, bind parameters aren't allowed in the
columns clause of a SELECT, nor are certain ambiguous
expressions like "?=?". When this mode is enabled, the base
compiler will render the binds as inline literals, but only across
strings and numeric values. Other types such as dates
will raise an error, unless the dialect subclass defines
a literal rendering function for those. The bind parameter
must have an embedded literal value already or an error
is raised (i.e. won't work with straight bindparam('x')).
Dialects can also expand upon the areas where binds are not
accepted, such as within argument lists of functions
(which don't work on MS-SQL when native SQL binding is used).
- Added "unicode_errors" parameter to String, Unicode, etc.
Behaves like the 'errors' keyword argument to
the standard library's string.decode() functions. This flag
requires that `convert_unicode` is set to `"force"` - otherwise,
SQLAlchemy is not guaranteed to handle the task of unicode
conversion. Note that this flag adds significant performance
overhead to row-fetching operations for backends that already
return unicode objects natively (which most DBAPIs do). This
flag should only be used as an absolute last resort for reading
strings from a column with varied or corrupted encodings,
which only applies to databases that accept invalid encodings
in the first place (i.e. MySQL. *not* PG, Sqlite, etc.)
- Added math negation operator support, -x.
- FunctionElement subclasses are now directly executable the
same way any func.foo() construct is, with automatic
SELECT being applied when passed to execute().
- The "type" and "bind" keyword arguments of a func.foo()
construct are now local to "func." constructs and are
not part of the FunctionElement base class, allowing
a "type" to be handled in a custom constructor or
class-level variable.
- Restored the keys() method to ResultProxy.
- The type/expression system now does a more complete job
of determining the return type from an expression
as well as the adaptation of the Python operator into
a SQL operator, based on the full left/right/operator
of the given expression. In particular
the date/time/interval system created for Postgresql
EXTRACT in [ticket:1647] has now been generalized into
the type system. The previous behavior which often
occured of an expression "column + literal" forcing
the type of "literal" to be the same as that of "column"
will now usually not occur - the type of
"literal" is first derived from the Python type of the
literal, assuming standard native Python types + date
types, before falling back to that of the known type
on the other side of the expression. If the
"fallback" type is compatible (i.e. CHAR from String),
the literal side will use that. TypeDecorator
types override this by default to coerce the "literal"
side unconditionally, which can be changed by implementing
the coerce_compared_value() method. Also part of
[ticket:1683].
- Made sqlalchemy.sql.expressions.Executable part of public
API, used for any expression construct that can be sent to
execute(). FunctionElement now inherits Executable so that
it gains execution_options(), which are also propagated
to the select() that's generated within execute().
Executable in turn subclasses _Generative which marks
any ClauseElement that supports the @_generative
decorator - these may also become "public" for the benefit
of the compiler extension at some point.
- A change to the solution for [ticket:1579] - an end-user
defined bind parameter name that directly conflicts with
a column-named bind generated directly from the SET or
VALUES clause of an update/insert generates a compile error.
This reduces call counts and eliminates some cases where
undesirable name conflicts could still occur.
- Column() requires a type if it has no foreign keys (this is
not new). An error is now raised if a Column() has no type
and no foreign keys. [ticket:1705]
- the "scale" argument of the Numeric() type is honored when
coercing a returned floating point value into a string
on its way to Decimal - this allows accuracy to function
on SQLite, MySQL. [ticket:1717]
- the copy() method of Column now copies over uninitialized
"on table attach" events. Helps with the new declarative
"mixin" capability.
- engines
- Added an optional C extension to speed up the sql layer by
reimplementing RowProxy and the most common result processors.
The actual speedups will depend heavily on your DBAPI and
the mix of datatypes used in your tables, and can vary from
a 30% improvement to more than 200%. It also provides a modest
(~15-20%) indirect improvement to ORM speed for large queries.
Note that it is *not* built/installed by default.
See README for installation instructions.
- the execution sequence pulls all rowcount/last inserted ID
info from the cursor before commit() is called on the
DBAPI connection in an "autocommit" scenario. This helps
mxodbc with rowcount and is probably a good idea overall.
- Opened up logging a bit such that isEnabledFor() is called
more often, so that changes to the log level for engine/pool
will be reflected on next connect. This adds a small
amount of method call overhead. It's negligible and will make
life a lot easier for all those situations when logging
just happens to be configured after create_engine() is called.
[ticket:1719]
- The assert_unicode flag is deprecated. SQLAlchemy will raise
a warning in all cases where it is asked to encode a non-unicode
Python string, as well as when a Unicode or UnicodeType type
is explicitly passed a bytestring. The String type will do nothing
for DBAPIs that already accept Python unicode objects.
- Bind parameters are sent as a tuple instead of a list. Some
backend drivers will not accept bind parameters as a list.
- threadlocal engine wasn't properly closing the connection
upon close() - fixed that.
- Transaction object doesn't rollback or commit if it isn't
"active", allows more accurate nesting of begin/rollback/commit.
- Python unicode objects as binds result in the Unicode type,
not string, thus eliminating a certain class of unicode errors
on drivers that don't support unicode binds.
- Added "logging_name" argument to create_engine(), Pool() constructor
as well as "pool_logging_name" argument to create_engine() which
filters down to that of Pool. Issues the given string name
within the "name" field of logging messages instead of the default
hex identifier string. [ticket:1555]
- The visit_pool() method of Dialect is removed, and replaced with
on_connect(). This method returns a callable which receives
the raw DBAPI connection after each one is created. The callable
is assembled into a first_connect/connect pool listener by the
connection strategy if non-None. Provides a simpler interface
for dialects.
- StaticPool now initializes, disposes and recreates without
opening a new connection - the connection is only opened when
first requested. dispose() also works on AssertionPool now.
[ticket:1728]
- metadata
- Added the ability to strip schema information when using
"tometadata" by passing "schema=None" as an argument. If schema
is not specified then the table's schema is retained.
[ticket: 1673]
- declarative
- DeclarativeMeta exclusively uses cls.__dict__ (not dict_)
as the source of class information; _as_declarative exclusively
uses the dict_ passed to it as the source of class information
(which when using DeclarativeMeta is cls.__dict__). This should
in theory make it easier for custom metaclasses to modify
the state passed into _as_declarative.
- declarative now accepts mixin classes directly, as a means
to provide common functional and column-based elements on
all subclasses, as well as a means to propagate a fixed
set of __table_args__ or __mapper_args__ to subclasses.
For custom combinations of __table_args__/__mapper_args__ from
an inherited mixin to local, descriptors can now be used.
New details are all up in the Declarative documentation.
Thanks to Chris Withers for putting up with my strife
on this. [ticket:1707]
- the __mapper_args__ dict is copied when propagating to a subclass,
and is taken straight off the class __dict__ to avoid any
propagation from the parent. mapper inheritance already
propagates the things you want from the parent mapper.
[ticket:1393]
- An exception is raised when a single-table subclass specifies
a column that is already present on the base class.
[ticket:1732]
- mysql
- Fixed reflection bug whereby when COLLATE was present,
nullable flag and server defaults would not be reflected.
[ticket:1655]
- Fixed reflection of TINYINT(1) "boolean" columns defined with
integer flags like UNSIGNED.
- Further fixes for the mysql-connector dialect. [ticket:1668]
- Composite PK table on InnoDB where the "autoincrement" column
isn't first will emit an explicit "KEY" phrase within
CREATE TABLE thereby avoiding errors, [ticket:1496]
- Added reflection/create table support for a wide range
of MySQL keywords. [ticket:1634]
- Fixed import error which could occur reflecting tables on
a Windows host [ticket:1580]
- mssql
- Re-established support for the pymssql dialect.
- Various fixes for implicit returning, reflection,
etc. - the MS-SQL dialects aren't quite complete
in 0.6 yet (but are close)
- Added basic support for mxODBC [ticket:1710].
- Removed the text_as_varchar option.
- oracle
- "out" parameters require a type that is supported by
cx_oracle. An error will be raised if no cx_oracle
type can be found.
- Oracle 'DATE' now does not perform any result processing,
as the DATE type in Oracle stores full date+time objects,
that's what you'll get. Note that the generic types.Date
type *will* still call value.date() on incoming values,
however. When reflecting a table, the reflected type
will be 'DATE'.
- Added preliminary support for Oracle's WITH_UNICODE
mode. At the very least this establishes initial
support for cx_Oracle with Python 3. When WITH_UNICODE
mode is used in Python 2.xx, a large and scary warning
is emitted asking that the user seriously consider
the usage of this difficult mode of operation.
[ticket:1670]
- The except_() method now renders as MINUS on Oracle,
which is more or less equivalent on that platform.
[ticket:1712]
- Added support for rendering and reflecting
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, i.e. TIMESTAMP(timezone=True).
[ticket:651]
- Oracle INTERVAL type can now be reflected.
- sqlite
- Added "native_datetime=True" flag to create_engine().
This will cause the DATE and TIMESTAMP types to skip
all bind parameter and result row processing, under
the assumption that PARSE_DECLTYPES has been enabled
on the connection. Note that this is not entirely
compatible with the "func.current_date()", which
will be returned as a string. [ticket:1685]
- sybase
- Implemented a preliminary working dialect for Sybase,
with sub-implementations for Python-Sybase as well
as Pyodbc. Handles table
creates/drops and basic round trip functionality.
Does not yet include reflection or comprehensive
support of unicode/special expressions/etc.
- examples
- Changed the beaker cache example a bit to have a separate
RelationCache option for lazyload caching. This object
does a lookup among any number of potential attributes
more efficiently by grouping several into a common structure.
Both FromCache and RelationCache are simpler individually.
- documentation
- Major cleanup work in the docs to link class, function, and
method names into the API docs. [ticket:1700/1702/1703]
0.6beta1
========
- Major Release
- For the full set of feature descriptions, see
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/06Migration .
This document is a work in progress.
- All bug fixes and feature enhancements from the most
recent 0.5 version and below are also included within 0.6.
- Platforms targeted now include Python 2.4/2.5/2.6, Python
3.1, Jython2.5.
- orm
- Changes to query.update() and query.delete():
- the 'expire' option on query.update() has been renamed to
'fetch', thus matching that of query.delete().
'expire' is deprecated and issues a warning.
- query.update() and query.delete() both default to
'evaluate' for the synchronize strategy.
- the 'synchronize' strategy for update() and delete()
raises an error on failure. There is no implicit fallback
onto "fetch". Failure of evaluation is based on the
structure of criteria, so success/failure is deterministic
based on code structure.
- Enhancements on many-to-one relations:
- many-to-one relations now fire off a lazyload in fewer
cases, including in most cases will not fetch the "old"
value when a new one is replaced.
- many-to-one relation to a joined-table subclass now uses
get() for a simple load (known as the "use_get"
condition), i.e. Related->Sub(Base), without the need to
redefine the primaryjoin condition in terms of the base
table. [ticket:1186]
- specifying a foreign key with a declarative column, i.e.
ForeignKey(MyRelatedClass.id) doesn't break the "use_get"
condition from taking place [ticket:1492]
- relation(), eagerload(), and eagerload_all() now feature
an option called "innerjoin". Specify `True` or `False` to
control whether an eager join is constructed as an INNER
or OUTER join. Default is `False` as always. The mapper
options will override whichever setting is specified on
relation(). Should generally be set for many-to-one, not
nullable foreign key relations to allow improved join
performance. [ticket:1544]
- the behavior of eagerloading such that the main query is
wrapped in a subquery when LIMIT/OFFSET are present now
makes an exception for the case when all eager loads are
many-to-one joins. In those cases, the eager joins are
against the parent table directly along with the
limit/offset without the extra overhead of a subquery,
since a many-to-one join does not add rows to the result.
- Enhancements / Changes on Session.merge():
- the "dont_load=True" flag on Session.merge() is deprecated
and is now "load=False".
- Session.merge() is performance optimized, using half the
call counts for "load=False" mode compared to 0.5 and
significantly fewer SQL queries in the case of collections
for "load=True" mode.
- merge() will not issue a needless merge of attributes if the
given instance is the same instance which is already present.
- merge() now also merges the "options" associated with a given
state, i.e. those passed through query.options() which follow
along with an instance, such as options to eagerly- or
lazyily- load various attributes. This is essential for
the construction of highly integrated caching schemes. This
is a subtle behavioral change vs. 0.5.
- A bug was fixed regarding the serialization of the "loader
path" present on an instance's state, which is also necessary
when combining the usage of merge() with serialized state
and associated options that should be preserved.
- The all new merge() is showcased in a new comprehensive
example of how to integrate Beaker with SQLAlchemy. See
the notes in the "examples" note below.
- Primary key values can now be changed on a joined-table inheritance
object, and ON UPDATE CASCADE will be taken into account when
the flush happens. Set the new "passive_updates" flag to False
on mapper() when using SQLite or MySQL/MyISAM. [ticket:1362]
- flush() now detects when a primary key column was updated by
an ON UPDATE CASCADE operation from another primary key, and
can then locate the row for a subsequent UPDATE on the new PK
value. This occurs when a relation() is there to establish
the relationship as well as passive_updates=True. [ticket:1671]
- the "save-update" cascade will now cascade the pending *removed*
values from a scalar or collection attribute into the new session
during an add() operation. This so that the flush() operation
will also delete or modify rows of those disconnected items.
- Using a "dynamic" loader with a "secondary" table now produces
a query where the "secondary" table is *not* aliased. This
allows the secondary Table object to be used in the "order_by"
attribute of the relation(), and also allows it to be used
in filter criterion against the dynamic relation.
[ticket:1531]
- relation() with uselist=False will emit a warning when
an eager or lazy load locates more than one valid value for
the row. This may be due to primaryjoin/secondaryjoin
conditions which aren't appropriate for an eager LEFT OUTER
JOIN or for other conditions. [ticket:1643]
- an explicit check occurs when a synonym() is used with
map_column=True, when a ColumnProperty (deferred or otherwise)
exists separately in the properties dictionary sent to mapper
with the same keyname. Instead of silently replacing
the existing property (and possible options on that property),
an error is raised. [ticket:1633]
- a "dynamic" loader sets up its query criterion at construction
time so that the actual query is returned from non-cloning
accessors like "statement".
- the "named tuple" objects returned when iterating a
Query() are now pickleable.
- mapping to a select() construct now requires that you
make an alias() out of it distinctly. This to eliminate
confusion over such issues as [ticket:1542]
- query.join() has been reworked to provide more consistent
behavior and more flexibility (includes [ticket:1537])
- query.select_from() accepts multiple clauses to produce
multiple comma separated entries within the FROM clause.
Useful when selecting from multiple-homed join() clauses.
- query.select_from() also accepts mapped classes, aliased()
constructs, and mappers as arguments. In particular this
helps when querying from multiple joined-table classes to ensure
the full join gets rendered.
- query.get() can be used with a mapping to an outer join
where one or more of the primary key values are None.
[ticket:1135]
- query.from_self(), query.union(), others which do a
"SELECT * from (SELECT...)" type of nesting will do
a better job translating column expressions within the subquery
to the columns clause of the outer query. This is
potentially backwards incompatible with 0.5, in that this
may break queries with literal expressions that do not have labels
applied (i.e. literal('foo'), etc.)
[ticket:1568]
- relation primaryjoin and secondaryjoin now check that they
are column-expressions, not just clause elements. this prohibits
things like FROM expressions being placed there directly.
[ticket:1622]
- `expression.null()` is fully understood the same way
None is when comparing an object/collection-referencing
attribute within query.filter(), filter_by(), etc.
[ticket:1415]
- added "make_transient()" helper function which transforms a
persistent/ detached instance into a transient one (i.e.
deletes the instance_key and removes from any session.)
[ticket:1052]
- the allow_null_pks flag on mapper() is deprecated, and
the feature is turned "on" by default. This means that
a row which has a non-null value for any of its primary key
columns will be considered an identity. The need for this
scenario typically only occurs when mapping to an outer join.
[ticket:1339]
- the mechanics of "backref" have been fully merged into the
finer grained "back_populates" system, and take place entirely
within the _generate_backref() method of RelationProperty. This
makes the initialization procedure of RelationProperty
simpler and allows easier propagation of settings (such as from
subclasses of RelationProperty) into the reverse reference.
The internal BackRef() is gone and backref() returns a plain
tuple that is understood by RelationProperty.
- The version_id_col feature on mapper() will raise a warning when
used with dialects that don't support "rowcount" adequately.
[ticket:1569]
- added "execution_options()" to Query, to so options can be
passed to the resulting statement. Currently only
Select-statements have these options, and the only option
used is "stream_results", and the only dialect which knows
"stream_results" is psycopg2.
- Query.yield_per() will set the "stream_results" statement
option automatically.
- Deprecated or removed:
* 'allow_null_pks' flag on mapper() is deprecated. It does
nothing now and the setting is "on" in all cases.
* 'transactional' flag on sessionmaker() and others is
removed. Use 'autocommit=True' to indicate 'transactional=False'.
* 'polymorphic_fetch' argument on mapper() is removed.
Loading can be controlled using the 'with_polymorphic'
option.
* 'select_table' argument on mapper() is removed. Use
'with_polymorphic=("*", <some selectable>)' for this
functionality.
* 'proxy' argument on synonym() is removed. This flag
did nothing throughout 0.5, as the "proxy generation"
behavior is now automatic.
* Passing a single list of elements to eagerload(),
eagerload_all(), contains_eager(), lazyload(),
defer(), and undefer() instead of multiple positional
*args is deprecated.
* Passing a single list of elements to query.order_by(),
query.group_by(), query.join(), or query.outerjoin()
instead of multiple positional *args is deprecated.
* query.iterate_instances() is removed. Use query.instances().
* Query.query_from_parent() is removed. Use the
sqlalchemy.orm.with_parent() function to produce a
"parent" clause, or alternatively query.with_parent().
* query._from_self() is removed, use query.from_self()
instead.
* the "comparator" argument to composite() is removed.
Use "comparator_factory".
* RelationProperty._get_join() is removed.
* the 'echo_uow' flag on Session is removed. Use
logging on the "sqlalchemy.orm.unitofwork" name.
* session.clear() is removed. use session.expunge_all().
* session.save(), session.update(), session.save_or_update()
are removed. Use session.add() and session.add_all().
* the "objects" flag on session.flush() remains deprecated.
* the "dont_load=True" flag on session.merge() is deprecated
in favor of "load=False".
* ScopedSession.mapper remains deprecated. See the
usage recipe at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/SessionAwareMapper
* passing an InstanceState (internal SQLAlchemy state object) to
attributes.init_collection() or attributes.get_history() is
deprecated. These functions are public API and normally
expect a regular mapped object instance.
* the 'engine' parameter to declarative_base() is removed.
Use the 'bind' keyword argument.
- sql
- the "autocommit" flag on select() and text() as well
as select().autocommit() are deprecated - now call
.execution_options(autocommit=True) on either of those
constructs, also available directly on Connection and orm.Query.
- the autoincrement flag on column now indicates the column
which should be linked to cursor.lastrowid, if that method
is used. See the API docs for details.
- an executemany() now requires that all bound parameter
sets require that all keys are present which are
present in the first bound parameter set. The structure
and behavior of an insert/update statement is very much
determined by the first parameter set, including which
defaults are going to fire off, and a minimum of
guesswork is performed with all the rest so that performance
is not impacted. For this reason defaults would otherwise
silently "fail" for missing parameters, so this is now guarded
against. [ticket:1566]
- returning() support is native to insert(), update(),
delete(). Implementations of varying levels of
functionality exist for Postgresql, Firebird, MSSQL and
Oracle. returning() can be called explicitly with column
expressions which are then returned in the resultset,
usually via fetchone() or first().
insert() constructs will also use RETURNING implicitly to
get newly generated primary key values, if the database
version in use supports it (a version number check is
performed). This occurs if no end-user returning() was
specified.
- union(), intersect(), except() and other "compound" types
of statements have more consistent behavior w.r.t.
parenthesizing. Each compound element embedded within
another will now be grouped with parenthesis - previously,
the first compound element in the list would not be grouped,
as SQLite doesn't like a statement to start with
parenthesis. However, Postgresql in particular has
precedence rules regarding INTERSECT, and it is
more consistent for parenthesis to be applied equally
to all sub-elements. So now, the workaround for SQLite
is also what the workaround for PG was previously -
when nesting compound elements, the first one usually needs
".alias().select()" called on it to wrap it inside
of a subquery. [ticket:1665]
- insert() and update() constructs can now embed bindparam()
objects using names that match the keys of columns. These
bind parameters will circumvent the usual route to those
keys showing up in the VALUES or SET clause of the generated
SQL. [ticket:1579]
- the Binary type now returns data as a Python string
(or a "bytes" type in Python 3), instead of the built-
in "buffer" type. This allows symmetric round trips
of binary data. [ticket:1524]
- Added a tuple_() construct, allows sets of expressions
to be compared to another set, typically with IN against
composite primary keys or similar. Also accepts an
IN with multiple columns. The "scalar select can
have only one column" error message is removed - will
rely upon the database to report problems with
col mismatch.
- User-defined "default" and "onupdate" callables which
accept a context should now call upon
"context.current_parameters" to get at the dictionary
of bind parameters currently being processed. This
dict is available in the same way regardless of
single-execute or executemany-style statement execution.
- multi-part schema names, i.e. with dots such as
"dbo.master", are now rendered in select() labels
with underscores for dots, i.e. "dbo_master_table_column".
This is a "friendly" label that behaves better
in result sets. [ticket:1428]
- removed needless "counter" behavior with select()
labelnames that match a column name in the table,
i.e. generates "tablename_id" for "id", instead of
"tablename_id_1" in an attempt to avoid naming
conflicts, when the table has a column actually
named "tablename_id" - this is because
the labeling logic is always applied to all columns
so a naming conflict will never occur.
- calling expr.in_([]), i.e. with an empty list, emits a warning
before issuing the usual "expr != expr" clause. The
"expr != expr" can be very expensive, and it's preferred
that the user not issue in_() if the list is empty,
instead simply not querying, or modifying the criterion
as appropriate for more complex situations.
[ticket:1628]
- Added "execution_options()" to select()/text(), which set the
default options for the Connection. See the note in "engines".
- Deprecated or removed:
* "scalar" flag on select() is removed, use
select.as_scalar().
* "shortname" attribute on bindparam() is removed.
* postgres_returning, firebird_returning flags on
insert(), update(), delete() are deprecated, use
the new returning() method.
* fold_equivalents flag on join is deprecated (will remain
until [ticket:1131] is implemented)
- engines
- transaction isolation level may be specified with
create_engine(... isolation_level="..."); available on
postgresql and sqlite. [ticket:443]
- Connection has execution_options(), generative method
which accepts keywords that affect how the statement
is executed w.r.t. the DBAPI. Currently supports
"stream_results", causes psycopg2 to use a server
side cursor for that statement, as well as
"autocommit", which is the new location for the "autocommit"
option from select() and text(). select() and
text() also have .execution_options() as well as
ORM Query().
- fixed the import for entrypoint-driven dialects to
not rely upon silly tb_info trick to determine import
error status. [ticket:1630]
- added first() method to ResultProxy, returns first row and
closes result set immediately.
- RowProxy objects are now pickleable, i.e. the object returned
by result.fetchone(), result.fetchall() etc.
- RowProxy no longer has a close() method, as the row no longer
maintains a reference to the parent. Call close() on
the parent ResultProxy instead, or use autoclose.
- ResultProxy internals have been overhauled to greatly reduce
method call counts when fetching columns. Can provide a large
speed improvement (up to more than 100%) when fetching large
result sets. The improvement is larger when fetching columns
that have no type-level processing applied and when using
results as tuples (instead of as dictionaries). Many
thanks to Elixir's Gaëtan de Menten for this dramatic
improvement ! [ticket:1586]
- Databases which rely upon postfetch of "last inserted id"
to get at a generated sequence value (i.e. MySQL, MS-SQL)
now work correctly when there is a composite primary key
where the "autoincrement" column is not the first primary
key column in the table.
- the last_inserted_ids() method has been renamed to the
descriptor "inserted_primary_key".
- setting echo=False on create_engine() now sets the loglevel
to WARN instead of NOTSET. This so that logging can be
disabled for a particular engine even if logging
for "sqlalchemy.engine" is enabled overall. Note that the
default setting of "echo" is `None`. [ticket:1554]
- ConnectionProxy now has wrapper methods for all transaction
lifecycle events, including begin(), rollback(), commit()
begin_nested(), begin_prepared(), prepare(), release_savepoint(),
etc.
- Connection pool logging now uses both INFO and DEBUG
log levels for logging. INFO is for major events such
as invalidated connections, DEBUG for all the acquire/return
logging. `echo_pool` can be False, None, True or "debug"
the same way as `echo` works.
- All pyodbc-dialects now support extra pyodbc-specific
kw arguments 'ansi', 'unicode_results', 'autocommit'.
[ticket:1621]
- the "threadlocal" engine has been rewritten and simplified
and now supports SAVEPOINT operations.
- deprecated or removed
* result.last_inserted_ids() is deprecated. Use
result.inserted_primary_key
* dialect.get_default_schema_name(connection) is now
public via dialect.default_schema_name.
* the "connection" argument from engine.transaction() and
engine.run_callable() is removed - Connection itself
now has those methods. All four methods accept
*args and **kwargs which are passed to the given callable,
as well as the operating connection.
- schema
- the `__contains__()` method of `MetaData` now accepts
strings or `Table` objects as arguments. If given
a `Table`, the argument is converted to `table.key` first,
i.e. "[schemaname.]<tablename>" [ticket:1541]
- deprecated MetaData.connect() and
ThreadLocalMetaData.connect() have been removed - send
the "bind" attribute to bind a metadata.
- deprecated metadata.table_iterator() method removed (use
sorted_tables)
- deprecated PassiveDefault - use DefaultClause.
- the "metadata" argument is removed from DefaultGenerator
and subclasses, but remains locally present on Sequence,
which is a standalone construct in DDL.
- Removed public mutability from Index and Constraint
objects:
- ForeignKeyConstraint.append_element()
- Index.append_column()
- UniqueConstraint.append_column()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.add()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.remove()
These should be constructed declaratively (i.e. in one
construction).
- The "start" and "increment" attributes on Sequence now
generate "START WITH" and "INCREMENT BY" by default,
on Oracle and Postgresql. Firebird doesn't support
these keywords right now. [ticket:1545]
- UniqueConstraint, Index, PrimaryKeyConstraint all accept
lists of column names or column objects as arguments.
- Other removed things:
- Table.key (no idea what this was for)
- Table.primary_key is not assignable - use
table.append_constraint(PrimaryKeyConstraint(...))
- Column.bind (get via column.table.bind)
- Column.metadata (get via column.table.metadata)
- Column.sequence (use column.default)
- ForeignKey(constraint=some_parent) (is now private _constraint)
- The use_alter flag on ForeignKey is now a shortcut option
for operations that can be hand-constructed using the
DDL() event system. A side effect of this refactor is
that ForeignKeyConstraint objects with use_alter=True
will *not* be emitted on SQLite, which does not support
ALTER for foreign keys.
- ForeignKey and ForeignKeyConstraint objects now correctly
copy() all their public keyword arguments. [ticket:1605]
- Reflection/Inspection
- Table reflection has been expanded and generalized into
a new API called "sqlalchemy.engine.reflection.Inspector".
The Inspector object provides fine-grained information about
a wide variety of schema information, with room for expansion,
including table names, column names, view definitions, sequences,
indexes, etc.
- Views are now reflectable as ordinary Table objects. The same
Table constructor is used, with the caveat that "effective"
primary and foreign key constraints aren't part of the reflection
results; these have to be specified explicitly if desired.
- The existing autoload=True system now uses Inspector underneath
so that each dialect need only return "raw" data about tables
and other objects - Inspector is the single place that information
is compiled into Table objects so that consistency is at a maximum.
- DDL
- the DDL system has been greatly expanded. the DDL() class
now extends the more generic DDLElement(), which forms the basis
of many new constructs:
- CreateTable()
- DropTable()
- AddConstraint()
- DropConstraint()
- CreateIndex()
- DropIndex()
- CreateSequence()
- DropSequence()
These support "on" and "execute-at()" just like plain DDL()
does. User-defined DDLElement subclasses can be created and
linked to a compiler using the sqlalchemy.ext.compiler extension.
- The signature of the "on" callable passed to DDL() and
DDLElement() is revised as follows:
"ddl" - the DDLElement object itself.
"event" - the string event name.
"target" - previously "schema_item", the Table or
MetaData object triggering the event.
"connection" - the Connection object in use for the operation.
**kw - keyword arguments. In the case of MetaData before/after
create/drop, the list of Table objects for which
CREATE/DROP DDL is to be issued is passed as the kw
argument "tables". This is necessary for metadata-level
DDL that is dependent on the presence of specific tables.
- the "schema_item" attribute of DDL has been renamed to
"target".
- dialect refactor
- Dialect modules are now broken into database dialects
plus DBAPI implementations. Connect URLs are now
preferred to be specified using dialect+driver://...,
i.e. "mysql+mysqldb://scott:tiger@localhost/test". See
the 0.6 documentation for examples.
- the setuptools entrypoint for external dialects is now
called "sqlalchemy.dialects".
- the "owner" keyword argument is removed from Table. Use
"schema" to represent any namespaces to be prepended to
the table name.
- server_version_info becomes a static attribute.
- dialects receive an initialize() event on initial
connection to determine connection properties.
- dialects receive a visit_pool event have an opportunity
to establish pool listeners.
- cached TypeEngine classes are cached per-dialect class
instead of per-dialect.
- new UserDefinedType should be used as a base class for
new types, which preserves the 0.5 behavior of
get_col_spec().
- The result_processor() method of all type classes now
accepts a second argument "coltype", which is the DBAPI
type argument from cursor.description. This argument
can help some types decide on the most efficient processing
of result values.
- Deprecated Dialect.get_params() removed.
- Dialect.get_rowcount() has been renamed to a descriptor
"rowcount", and calls cursor.rowcount directly. Dialects
which need to hardwire a rowcount in for certain calls
should override the method to provide different behavior.
- DefaultRunner and subclasses have been removed. The job
of this object has been simplified and moved into
ExecutionContext. Dialects which support sequences should
add a `fire_sequence()` method to their execution context
implementation. [ticket:1566]
- Functions and operators generated by the compiler now use
(almost) regular dispatch functions of the form
"visit_<opname>" and "visit_<funcname>_fn" to provide
customed processing. This replaces the need to copy the
"functions" and "operators" dictionaries in compiler
subclasses with straightforward visitor methods, and also
allows compiler subclasses complete control over
rendering, as the full _Function or _BinaryExpression
object is passed in.
- postgresql
- New dialects: pg8000, zxjdbc, and pypostgresql
on py3k.
- The "postgres" dialect is now named "postgresql" !
Connection strings look like:
postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test
postgresql+pg8000://scott:tiger@localhost/test
The "postgres" name remains for backwards compatiblity
in the following ways:
- There is a "postgres.py" dummy dialect which
allows old URLs to work, i.e.
postgres://scott:tiger@localhost/test
- The "postgres" name can be imported from the old
"databases" module, i.e. "from
sqlalchemy.databases import postgres" as well as
"dialects", "from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgres
import base as pg", will send a deprecation
warning.
- Special expression arguments are now named
"postgresql_returning" and "postgresql_where", but
the older "postgres_returning" and
"postgres_where" names still work with a
deprecation warning.
- "postgresql_where" now accepts SQL expressions which
can also include literals, which will be quoted as needed.
- The psycopg2 dialect now uses psycopg2's "unicode extension"
on all new connections, which allows all String/Text/etc.
types to skip the need to post-process bytestrings into
unicode (an expensive step due to its volume). Other
dialects which return unicode natively (pg8000, zxjdbc)
also skip unicode post-processing.
- Added new ENUM type, which exists as a schema-level
construct and extends the generic Enum type. Automatically
associates itself with tables and their parent metadata
to issue the appropriate CREATE TYPE/DROP TYPE
commands as needed, supports unicode labels, supports
reflection. [ticket:1511]
- INTERVAL supports an optional "precision" argument
corresponding to the argument that PG accepts.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
psycopg2 can't handle a bind parameter name of
%(foobar)s however and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead
just to treat that one non-existent use case.
[ticket:1279]
- Inserting NULL into a primary key + foreign key column
will allow the "not null constraint" error to raise,
not an attempt to execute a nonexistent "col_id_seq"
sequence. [ticket:1516]
- autoincrement SELECT statements, i.e. those which
select from a procedure that modifies rows, now work
with server-side cursor mode (the named cursor isn't
used for such statements.)
- postgresql dialect can properly detect pg "devel" version
strings, i.e. "8.5devel" [ticket:1636]
- The psycopg2 now respects the statement option
"stream_results". This option overrides the connection setting
"server_side_cursors". If true, server side cursors will be
used for the statement. If false, they will not be used, even
if "server_side_cursors" is true on the
connection. [ticket:1619]
- mysql
- New dialects: oursql, a new native dialect,
MySQL Connector/Python, a native Python port of MySQLdb,
and of course zxjdbc on Jython.
- VARCHAR/NVARCHAR will not render without a length, raises
an error before passing to MySQL. Doesn't impact
CAST since VARCHAR is not allowed in MySQL CAST anyway,
the dialect renders CHAR/NCHAR in those cases.
- all the _detect_XXX() functions now run once underneath
dialect.initialize()
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
MySQLdb can't handle % signs in SQL when executemany() is used,
and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead just to treat that one
non-existent use case. [ticket:1279]
- the BINARY and MSBinary types now generate "BINARY" in all
cases. Omitting the "length" parameter will generate
"BINARY" with no length. Use BLOB to generate an unlengthed
binary column.
- the "quoting='quoted'" argument to MSEnum/ENUM is deprecated.
It's best to rely upon the automatic quoting.
- ENUM now subclasses the new generic Enum type, and also handles
unicode values implicitly, if the given labelnames are unicode
objects.
- a column of type TIMESTAMP now defaults to NULL if
"nullable=False" is not passed to Column(), and no default
is present. This is now consistent with all other types,
and in the case of TIMESTAMP explictly renders "NULL"
due to MySQL's "switching" of default nullability
for TIMESTAMP columns. [ticket:1539]
- oracle
- unit tests pass 100% with cx_oracle !
- support for cx_Oracle's "native unicode" mode which does
not require NLS_LANG to be set. Use the latest 5.0.2 or
later of cx_oracle.
- an NCLOB type is added to the base types.
- use_ansi=False won't leak into the FROM/WHERE clause of
a statement that's selecting from a subquery that also
uses JOIN/OUTERJOIN.
- added native INTERVAL type to the dialect. This supports
only the DAY TO SECOND interval type so far due to lack
of support in cx_oracle for YEAR TO MONTH. [ticket:1467]
- usage of the CHAR type results in cx_oracle's
FIXED_CHAR dbapi type being bound to statements.
- the Oracle dialect now features NUMBER which intends
to act justlike Oracle's NUMBER type. It is the primary
numeric type returned by table reflection and attempts
to return Decimal()/float/int based on the precision/scale
parameters. [ticket:885]
- func.char_length is a generic function for LENGTH
- ForeignKey() which includes onupdate=<value> will emit a
warning, not emit ON UPDATE CASCADE which is unsupported
by oracle
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- using types.BigInteger with Oracle will generate
NUMBER(19) [ticket:1125]
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- firebird
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- mssql
- MSSQL + Pyodbc + FreeTDS now works for the most part,
with possible exceptions regarding binary data as well as
unicode schema identifiers.
- the "has_window_funcs" flag is removed. LIMIT/OFFSET
usage will use ROW NUMBER as always, and if on an older
version of SQL Server, the operation fails. The behavior
is exactly the same except the error is raised by SQL
server instead of the dialect, and no flag setting is
required to enable it.
- the "auto_identity_insert" flag is removed. This feature
always takes effect when an INSERT statement overrides a
column that is known to have a sequence on it. As with
"has_window_funcs", if the underlying driver doesn't
support this, then you can't do this operation in any
case, so there's no point in having a flag.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- removed references to sequence which is no longer used.
implicit identities in mssql work the same as implicit
sequences on any other dialects. Explicit sequences are
enabled through the use of "default=Sequence()". See
the MSSQL dialect documentation for more information.
- sqlite
- DATE, TIME and DATETIME types can now take optional storage_format
and regexp argument. storage_format can be used to store those types
using a custom string format. regexp allows to use a custom regular
expression to match string values from the database.
- Time and DateTime types now use by a default a stricter regular
expression to match strings from the database. Use the regexp
argument if you are using data stored in a legacy format.
- __legacy_microseconds__ on SQLite Time and DateTime types is not
supported anymore. You should use the storage_format argument
instead.
- Date, Time and DateTime types are now stricter in what they accept as
bind parameters: Date type only accepts date objects (and datetime
ones, because they inherit from date), Time only accepts time
objects, and DateTime only accepts date and datetime objects.
- Table() supports a keyword argument "sqlite_autoincrement", which
applies the SQLite keyword "AUTOINCREMENT" to the single integer
primary key column when generating DDL. Will prevent generation of
a separate PRIMARY KEY constraint. [ticket:1016]
- new dialects
- postgresql+pg8000
- postgresql+pypostgresql (partial)
- postgresql+zxjdbc
- mysql+pyodbc
- mysql+zxjdbc
- types
- The construction of types within dialects has been totally
overhauled. Dialects now define publically available types
as UPPERCASE names exclusively, and internal implementation
types using underscore identifiers (i.e. are private).
The system by which types are expressed in SQL and DDL
has been moved to the compiler system. This has the
effect that there are much fewer type objects within
most dialects. A detailed document on this architecture
for dialect authors is in
lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/type_migration_guidelines.txt .
- Types no longer make any guesses as to default
parameters. In particular, Numeric, Float, NUMERIC,
FLOAT, DECIMAL don't generate any length or scale unless
specified.
- types.Binary is renamed to types.LargeBinary, it only
produces BLOB, BYTEA, or a similar "long binary" type.
New base BINARY and VARBINARY
types have been added to access these MySQL/MS-SQL specific
types in an agnostic way [ticket:1664].
- String/Text/Unicode types now skip the unicode() check
on each result column value if the dialect has
detected the DBAPI as returning Python unicode objects
natively. This check is issued on first connect
using "SELECT CAST 'some text' AS VARCHAR(10)" or
equivalent, then checking if the returned object
is a Python unicode. This allows vast performance
increases for native-unicode DBAPIs, including
pysqlite/sqlite3, psycopg2, and pg8000.
- Most types result processors have been checked for possible speed
improvements. Specifically, the following generic types have been
optimized, resulting in varying speed improvements:
Unicode, PickleType, Interval, TypeDecorator, Binary.
Also the following dbapi-specific implementations have been improved:
Time, Date and DateTime on Sqlite, ARRAY on Postgresql,
Time on MySQL, Numeric(as_decimal=False) on MySQL, oursql and
pypostgresql, DateTime on cx_oracle and LOB-based types on cx_oracle.
- Reflection of types now returns the exact UPPERCASE
type within types.py, or the UPPERCASE type within
the dialect itself if the type is not a standard SQL
type. This means reflection now returns more accurate
information about reflected types.
- Added a new Enum generic type. Enum is a schema-aware object
to support databases which require specific DDL in order to
use enum or equivalent; in the case of PG it handles the
details of `CREATE TYPE`, and on other databases without
native enum support will by generate VARCHAR + an inline CHECK
constraint to enforce the enum.
[ticket:1109] [ticket:1511]
- The Interval type includes a "native" flag which controls
if native INTERVAL types (postgresql + oracle) are selected
if available, or not. "day_precision" and "second_precision"
arguments are also added which propagate as appropriately
to these native types. Related to [ticket:1467].
- The Boolean type, when used on a backend that doesn't
have native boolean support, will generate a CHECK
constraint "col IN (0, 1)" along with the int/smallint-
based column type. This can be switched off if
desired with create_constraint=False.
Note that MySQL has no native boolean *or* CHECK constraint
support so this feature isn't available on that platform.
[ticket:1589]
- PickleType now uses == for comparison of values when
mutable=True, unless the "comparator" argument with a
comparsion function is specified to the type. Objects
being pickled will be compared based on identity (which
defeats the purpose of mutable=True) if __eq__() is not
overridden or a comparison function is not provided.
- The default "precision" and "scale" arguments of Numeric
and Float have been removed and now default to None.
NUMERIC and FLOAT will be rendered with no numeric
arguments by default unless these values are provided.
- AbstractType.get_search_list() is removed - the games
that was used for are no longer necessary.
- Added a generic BigInteger type, compiles to
BIGINT or NUMBER(19). [ticket:1125]
-ext
- sqlsoup has been overhauled to explicitly support an 0.5 style
session, using autocommit=False, autoflush=True. Default
behavior of SQLSoup now requires the usual usage of commit()
and rollback(), which have been added to its interface. An
explcit Session or scoped_session can be passed to the
constructor, allowing these arguments to be overridden.
- sqlsoup db.<sometable>.update() and delete() now call
query(cls).update() and delete(), respectively.
- sqlsoup now has execute() and connection(), which call upon
the Session methods of those names, ensuring that the bind is
in terms of the SqlSoup object's bind.
- sqlsoup objects no longer have the 'query' attribute - it's
not needed for sqlsoup's usage paradigm and it gets in the
way of a column that is actually named 'query'.
- The signature of the proxy_factory callable passed to
association_proxy is now (lazy_collection, creator,
value_attr, association_proxy), adding a fourth argument
that is the parent AssociationProxy argument. Allows
serializability and subclassing of the built in collections.
[ticket:1259]
- association_proxy now has basic comparator methods .any(),
.has(), .contains(), ==, !=, thanks to Scott Torborg.
[ticket:1372]
- examples
- The "query_cache" examples have been removed, and are replaced
with a fully comprehensive approach that combines the usage of
Beaker with SQLAlchemy. New query options are used to indicate
the caching characteristics of a particular Query, which
can also be invoked deep within an object graph when lazily
loading related objects. See /examples/beaker_caching/README.
0.5.9
=====
- sql
- Fixed erroneous self_group() call in expression package.
[ticket:1661]
0.5.8
=====
- sql
- The copy() method on Column now supports uninitialized,
unnamed Column objects. This allows easy creation of
declarative helpers which place common columns on multiple
subclasses.
- Default generators like Sequence() translate correctly
across a copy() operation.
- Sequence() and other DefaultGenerator objects are accepted
as the value for the "default" and "onupdate" keyword
arguments of Column, in addition to being accepted
positionally.
- Fixed a column arithmetic bug that affected column
correspondence for cloned selectables which contain
free-standing column expressions. This bug is
generally only noticeable when exercising newer
ORM behavior only availble in 0.6 via [ticket:1568],
but is more correct at the SQL expression level
as well. [ticket:1617]
- postgresql
- The extract() function, which was slightly improved in
0.5.7, needed a lot more work to generate the correct
typecast (the typecasts appear to be necessary in PG's
EXTRACT quite a lot of the time). The typecast is
now generated using a rule dictionary based
on PG's documentation for date/time/interval arithmetic.
It also accepts text() constructs again, which was broken
in 0.5.7. [ticket:1647]
- firebird
- Recognize more errors as disconnections. [ticket:1646]
0.5.7
=====
- orm
- contains_eager() now works with the automatically
generated subquery that results when you say
"query(Parent).join(Parent.somejoinedsubclass)", i.e.
when Parent joins to a joined-table-inheritance subclass.
Previously contains_eager() would erroneously add the
subclass table to the query separately producing a
cartesian product. An example is in the ticket
description. [ticket:1543]
- query.options() now only propagate to loaded objects
for potential further sub-loads only for options where
such behavior is relevant, keeping
various unserializable options like those generated
by contains_eager() out of individual instance states.
[ticket:1553]
- Session.execute() now locates table- and
mapper-specific binds based on a passed
in expression which is an insert()/update()/delete()
construct. [ticket:1054]
- Session.merge() now properly overwrites a many-to-one or
uselist=False attribute to None if the attribute
is also None in the given object to be merged.
- Fixed a needless select which would occur when merging
transient objects that contained a null primary key
identifier. [ticket:1618]
- Mutable collection passed to the "extension" attribute
of relation(), column_property() etc. will not be mutated
or shared among multiple instrumentation calls, preventing
duplicate extensions, such as backref populators,
from being inserted into the list.
[ticket:1585]
- Fixed the call to get_committed_value() on CompositeProperty.
[ticket:1504]
- Fixed bug where Query would crash if a join() with no clear
"left" side were called when a non-mapped column entity
appeared in the columns list. [ticket:1602]
- Fixed bug whereby composite columns wouldn't load properly
when configured on a joined-table subclass, introduced in
version 0.5.6 as a result of the fix for [ticket:1480].
[ticket:1616] thx to Scott Torborg.
- The "use get" behavior of many-to-one relations, i.e. that a
lazy load will fallback to the possibly cached query.get()
value, now works across join conditions where the two compared
types are not exactly the same class, but share the same
"affinity" - i.e. Integer and SmallInteger. Also allows
combinations of reflected and non-reflected types to work
with 0.5 style type reflection, such as PGText/Text (note 0.6
reflects types as their generic versions). [ticket:1556]
- Fixed bug in query.update() when passing Cls.attribute
as keys in the value dict and using synchronize_session='expire'
('fetch' in 0.6). [ticket:1436]
- sql
- Fixed bug in two-phase transaction whereby commit() method
didn't set the full state which allows subsequent close()
call to succeed. [ticket:1603]
- Fixed the "numeric" paramstyle, which apparently is the
default paramstyle used by Informixdb.
- Repeat expressions in the columns clause of a select
are deduped based on the identity of each clause element,
not the actual string. This allows positional
elements to render correctly even if they all render
identically, such as "qmark" style bind parameters.
[ticket:1574]
- The cursor associated with connection pool connections
(i.e. _CursorFairy) now proxies `__iter__()` to the
underlying cursor correctly. [ticket:1632]
- types now support an "affinity comparison" operation, i.e.
that an Integer/SmallInteger are "compatible", or
a Text/String, PickleType/Binary, etc. Part of
[ticket:1556].
- Fixed bug preventing alias() of an alias() from being
cloned or adapted (occurs frequently in ORM operations).
[ticket:1641]
- sqlite
- sqlite dialect properly generates CREATE INDEX for a table
that is in an alternate schema. [ticket:1439]
- postgresql
- Added support for reflecting the DOUBLE PRECISION type,
via a new postgres.PGDoublePrecision object.
This is postgresql.DOUBLE_PRECISION in 0.6.
[ticket:1085]
- Added support for reflecting the INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND syntaxes of the INTERVAL
type. [ticket:460]
- Corrected the "has_sequence" query to take current schema,
or explicit sequence-stated schema, into account.
[ticket:1576]
- Fixed the behavior of extract() to apply operator
precedence rules to the "::" operator when applying
the "timestamp" cast - ensures proper parenthesization.
[ticket:1611]
- mssql
- Changed the name of TrustedConnection to
Trusted_Connection when constructing pyodbc connect
arguments [ticket:1561]
- oracle
- The "table_names" dialect function, used by MetaData
.reflect(), omits "index overflow tables", a system
table generated by Oracle when "index only tables"
with overflow are used. These tables aren't accessible
via SQL and can't be reflected. [ticket:1637]
- ext
- A column can be added to a joined-table declarative
superclass after the class has been constructed
(i.e. via class-level attribute assignment), and
the column will be propagated down to
subclasses. [ticket:1570] This is the reverse
situation as that of [ticket:1523], fixed in 0.5.6.
- Fixed a slight inaccuracy in the sharding example.
Comparing equivalence of columns in the ORM is best
accomplished using col1.shares_lineage(col2).
[ticket:1491]
- Removed unused `load()` method from ShardedQuery.
[ticket:1606]

py-sqlalchemy: updated to 1.3.16
1.3.16
orm
[orm] [bug]
Fixed bug in orm.selectinload() loading option where two or more loaders that represent different relationships with the same string key name as referenced from a single orm.with_polymorphic() construct with multiple subclass mappers would fail to invoke each subqueryload separately, instead making use of a single string-based slot that would prevent the other loaders from being invoked.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed issue where a lazyload that uses session-local “get” against a target many-to-one relationship where an object with the correct primary key is present, however it’s an instance of a sibling class, does not correctly return None as is the case when the lazy loader actually emits a load for that row.
[orm] [performance]
Modified the queries used by subqueryload and selectinload to no longer ORDER BY the primary key of the parent entity; this ordering was there to allow the rows as they come in to be copied into lists directly with a minimal level of Python-side collation. However, these ORDER BY clauses can negatively impact the performance of the query as in many scenarios these columns are derived from a subquery or are otherwise not actual primary key columns such that SQL planners cannot make use of indexes. The Python-side collation uses the native itertools.group_by() to collate the incoming rows, and has been modified to allow multiple row-groups-per-parent to be assembled together using list.extend(), which should still allow for relatively fast Python-side performance. There will still be an ORDER BY present for a relationship that includes an explicit order_by parameter, however this is the only ORDER BY that will be added to the query for both kinds of loading.
orm declarative
[bug] [declarative] [orm]
The string argument accepted as the first positional argument by the relationship() function when using the Declarative API is no longer interpreted using the Python eval() function; instead, the name is dot separated and the names are looked up directly in the name resolution dictionary without treating the value as a Python expression. However, passing a string argument to the other relationship() parameters that necessarily must accept Python expressions will still use eval(); the documentation has been clarified to ensure that there is no ambiguity that this is in use.
See also
Evaluation of relationship arguments - details on string evaluation
sql
[sql] [types]
Add ability to literal compile a DateTime, Date or :class:”Time” when using the string dialect for debugging purposes. This change does not impact real dialect implementation that retain their current behavior.
schema
[schema] [reflection]
Added support for reflection of “computed” columns, which are now returned as part of the structure returned by Inspector.get_columns(). When reflecting full Table objects, computed columns will be represented using the Computed construct.
postgresql
[postgresql] [bug]
Fixed issue where a “covering” index, e.g. those which have an INCLUDE clause, would be reflected including all the columns in INCLUDE clause as regular columns. A warning is now emitted if these additional columns are detected indicating that they are currently ignored. Note that full support for “covering” indexes is part of 4458. Pull request courtesy Marat Sharafutdinov.
mysql
[mysql] [bug]
Fixed issue in MySQL dialect when connecting to a psuedo-MySQL database such as that provided by ProxySQL, the up front check for isolation level when it returns no row will not prevent the dialect from continuing to connect. A warning is emitted that the isolation level could not be detected.
sqlite
[sqlite] [usecase]
Implemented AUTOCOMMIT isolation level for SQLite when using pysqlite.
mssql
[mssql] [usecase] [mysql] [oracle]
Added support for ColumnOperators.is_distinct_from() and ColumnOperators.isnot_distinct_from() to SQL Server, MySQL, and Oracle.
oracle
[oracle] [usecase]
Implemented AUTOCOMMIT isolation level for Oracle when using cx_Oracle. Also added a fixed default isolation level of READ COMMITTED for Oracle.
[oracle] [bug] [reflection]
Fixed regression / incorrect fix caused by fix for 5146 where the Oracle dialect reads from the “all_tab_comments” view to get table comments but fails to accommodate for the current owner of the table being requested, causing it to read the wrong comment if multiple tables of the same name exist in multiple schemas.
misc
[bug] [tests]
Fixed an issue that prevented the test suite from running with the recently released py.test 5.4.0.
[enum] [types]
The Enum type now supports the parameter Enum.length to specify the length of the VARCHAR column to create when using non native enums by setting Enum.native_enum to False
[installer]
Ensured that the “pyproject.toml” file is not included in builds, as the presence of this file indicates to pip that a pep-517 installation process should be used. As this mode of operation appears to be not well supported by current tools / distros, these problems are avoided within the scope of SQLAlchemy installation by omitting the file.
1.3.15
orm
[orm] [bug]
Adjusted the error message emitted by Query.join() when a left hand side can’t be located that the Query.select_from() method is the best way to resolve the issue. Also, within the 1.3 series, used a deterministic ordering when determining the FROM clause from a given column entity passed to Query so that the same expression is determined each time.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed regression in 1.3.14 due to 4849 where a sys.exc_info() call failed to be invoked correctly when a flush error would occur. Test coverage has been added for this exception case.
1.3.14
general
[general] [bug] [py3k]
Applied an explicit “cause” to most if not all internally raised exceptions that are raised from within an internal exception catch, to avoid misleading stacktraces that suggest an error within the handling of an exception. While it would be preferable to suppress the internally caught exception in the way that the __suppress_context__ attribute would, there does not as yet seem to be a way to do this without suppressing an enclosing user constructed context, so for now it exposes the internally caught exception as the cause so that full information about the context of the error is maintained.
orm
[orm] [usecase]
Added a new flag InstanceEvents.restore_load_context and SessionEvents.restore_load_context which apply to the InstanceEvents.load(), InstanceEvents.refresh(), and SessionEvents.loaded_as_persistent() events, which when set will restore the “load context” of the object after the event hook has been called. This ensures that the object remains within the “loader context” of the load operation that is already ongoing, rather than the object being transferred to a new load context due to refresh operations which may have occurred in the event. A warning is now emitted when this condition occurs, which recommends use of the flag to resolve this case. The flag is “opt-in” so that there is no risk introduced to existing applications.
The change additionally adds support for the raw=True flag to session lifecycle events.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed regression caused in 1.3.13 by 5056 where a refactor of the ORM path registry system made it such that a path could no longer be compared to an empty tuple, which can occur in a particular kind of joined eager loading path. The “empty tuple” use case has been resolved so that the path registry is compared to a path registry in all cases; the PathRegistry object itself now implements __eq__() and __ne__() methods which will take place for all equality comparisons and continue to succeed in the not anticipated case that a non- PathRegistry object is compared, while emitting a warning that this object should not be the subject of the comparison.
[orm] [bug]
Setting a relationship to viewonly=True which is also the target of a back_populates or backref configuration will now emit a warning and eventually be disallowed. back_populates refers specifically to mutation of an attribute or collection, which is disallowed when the attribute is subject to viewonly=True. The viewonly attribute is not subject to persistence behaviors which means it will not reflect correct results when it is locally mutated.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed an additional regression in the same area as that of 5080 introduced in 1.3.0b3 via 4468 where the ability to create a joined option across a with_polymorphic() into a relationship against the base class of that with_polymorphic, and then further into regular mapped relationships would fail as the base class component would not add itself to the load path in a way that could be located by the loader strategy. The changes applied in 5080 have been further refined to also accommodate this scenario.
engine
[engine] [bug]
Expanded the scope of cursor/connection cleanup when a statement is executed to include when the result object fails to be constructed, or an after_cursor_execute() event raises an error, or autocommit / autoclose fails. This allows the DBAPI cursor to be cleaned up on failure and for connectionless execution allows the connection to be closed out and returned to the connection pool, where previously it waiting until garbage collection would trigger a pool return.
sql
[sql] [bug] [postgresql]
Fixed bug where a CTE of an INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE that also uses RETURNING could then not be SELECTed from directly, as the internal state of the compiler would try to treat the outer SELECT as a DELETE statement itself and access nonexistent state.
postgresql
[postgresql] [bug]
Fixed issue where the “schema_translate_map” feature would not work with a PostgreSQL native enumeration type (i.e. Enum, postgresql.ENUM) in that while the “CREATE TYPE” statement would be emitted with the correct schema, the schema would not be rendered in the CREATE TABLE statement at the point at which the enumeration was referenced.
[postgresql] [bug] [reflection]
Fixed bug where PostgreSQL reflection of CHECK constraints would fail to parse the constraint if the SQL text contained newline characters. The regular expression has been adjusted to accommodate for this case. Pull request courtesy Eric Borczuk.
mysql
[mysql] [bug]
Fixed issue in MySQL mysql.Insert.on_duplicate_key_update() construct where using a SQL function or other composed expression for a column argument would not properly render the VALUES keyword surrounding the column itself.
mssql
[mssql] [bug]
Fixed issue where the mssql.DATETIMEOFFSET type would not accommodate for the None value, introduced as part of the series of fixes for this type first introduced in 4983, 5045. Additionally, added support for passing a backend-specific date formatted string through this type, as is typically allowed for date/time types on most other DBAPIs.
oracle
[oracle] [bug]
Fixed a reflection bug where table comments could only be retrieved for tables actually owned by the user but not for tables visible to the user but owned by someone else. Pull request courtesy Dave Hirschfeld.
misc
[usecase] [ext]
Added keyword arguments to the MutableList.sort() function so that a key function as well as the “reverse” keyword argument can be provided.
[bug] [performance]
Revised an internal change to the test system added as a result of 5085 where a testing-related module per dialect would be loaded unconditionally upon making use of that dialect, pulling in SQLAlchemy’s testing framework as well as the ORM into the module import space. This would only impact initial startup time and memory to a modest extent, however it’s best that these additional modules aren’t reverse-dependent on straight Core usage.
[bug] [installation]
Vendored the inspect.formatannotation function inside of sqlalchemy.util.compat, which is needed for the vendored version of inspect.formatargspec. The function is not documented in cPython and is not guaranteed to be available in future Python versions.

Update SQLalchemy to version 0.6.0.
Changes since 0.5.6:
0.6.0
=====
- orm
- Unit of work internals have been rewritten. Units of work
with large numbers of objects interdependent objects
can now be flushed without recursion overflows
as there is no longer reliance upon recursive calls
[ticket:1081]. The number of internal structures now stays
constant for a particular session state, regardless of
how many relationships are present on mappings. The flow
of events now corresponds to a linear list of steps,
generated by the mappers and relationships based on actual
work to be done, filtered through a single topological sort
for correct ordering. Flush actions are assembled using
far fewer steps and less memory. [ticket:1742]
- Along with the UOW rewrite, this also removes an issue
introduced in 0.6beta3 regarding topological cycle detection
for units of work with long dependency cycles. We now use
an algorithm written by Guido (thanks Guido!).
- one-to-many relationships now maintain a list of positive
parent-child associations within the flush, preventing
previous parents marked as deleted from cascading a
delete or NULL foreign key set on those child objects,
despite the end-user not removing the child from the old
association. [ticket:1764]
- A collection lazy load will switch off default
eagerloading on the reverse many-to-one side, since
that loading is by definition unnecessary. [ticket:1495]
- Session.refresh() now does an equivalent expire()
on the given instance first, so that the "refresh-expire"
cascade is propagated. Previously, refresh() was
not affected in any way by the presence of "refresh-expire"
cascade. This is a change in behavior versus that
of 0.6beta2, where the "lockmode" flag passed to refresh()
would cause a version check to occur. Since the instance
is first expired, refresh() always upgrades the object
to the most recent version.
- The 'refresh-expire' cascade, when reaching a pending object,
will expunge the object if the cascade also includes
"delete-orphan", or will simply detach it otherwise.
[ticket:1754]
- id(obj) is no longer used internally within topological.py,
as the sorting functions now require hashable objects
only. [ticket:1756]
- The ORM will set the docstring of all generated descriptors
to None by default. This can be overridden using 'doc'
(or if using Sphinx, attribute docstrings work too).
- Added kw argument 'doc' to all mapper property callables
as well as Column(). Will assemble the string 'doc' as
the '__doc__' attribute on the descriptor.
- Usage of version_id_col on a backend that supports
cursor.rowcount for execute() but not executemany() now works
when a delete is issued (already worked for saves, since those
don't use executemany()). For a backend that doesn't support
cursor.rowcount at all, a warning is emitted the same
as with saves. [ticket:1761]
- The ORM now short-term caches the "compiled" form of
insert() and update() constructs when flushing lists of
objects of all the same class, thereby avoiding redundant
compilation per individual INSERT/UPDATE within an
individual flush() call.
- internal getattr(), setattr(), getcommitted() methods
on ColumnProperty, CompositeProperty, RelationshipProperty
have been underscored (i.e. are private), signature has
changed.
- engines
- The C extension now also works with DBAPIs which use custom
sequences as row (and not only tuples). [ticket:1757]
- sql
- Restored some bind-labeling logic from 0.5 which ensures
that tables with column names that overlap another column
of the form "<tablename>_<columnname>" won't produce
errors if column._label is used as a bind name during
an UPDATE. Test coverage which wasn't present in 0.5
has been added. [ticket:1755]
- somejoin.select(fold_equivalents=True) is no longer
deprecated, and will eventually be rolled into a more
comprehensive version of the feature for [ticket:1729].
- the Numeric type raises an *enormous* warning when expected
to convert floats to Decimal from a DBAPI that returns floats.
This includes SQLite, Sybase, MS-SQL. [ticket:1759]
- Fixed an error in expression typing which caused an endless
loop for expressions with two NULL types.
- Fixed bug in execution_options() feature whereby the existing
Transaction and other state information from the parent
connection would not be propagated to the sub-connection.
- Added new 'compiled_cache' execution option. A dictionary
where Compiled objects will be cached when the Connection
compiles a clause expression into a dialect- and parameter-
specific Compiled object. It is the user's responsibility to
manage the size of this dictionary, which will have keys
corresponding to the dialect, clause element, the column
names within the VALUES or SET clause of an INSERT or UPDATE,
as well as the "batch" mode for an INSERT or UPDATE statement.
- Added get_pk_constraint() to reflection.Inspector, similar
to get_primary_keys() except returns a dict that includes the
name of the constraint, for supported backends (PG so far).
[ticket:1769]
- Table.create() and Table.drop() no longer apply metadata-
level create/drop events. [ticket:1771]
- ext
- the compiler extension now allows @compiles decorators
on base classes that extend to child classes, @compiles
decorators on child classes that aren't broken by a
@compiles decorator on the base class.
- Declarative will raise an informative error message
if a non-mapped class attribute is referenced in the
string-based relationship() arguments.
- Further reworked the "mixin" logic in declarative to
additionally allow __mapper_args__ as a @classproperty
on a mixin, such as to dynamically assign polymorphic_identity.
- postgresql
- Postgresql now reflects sequence names associated with
SERIAL columns correctly, after the name of of the sequence
has been changed. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the patch.
[ticket:1071]
- Repaired missing import in psycopg2._PGNumeric type when
unknown numeric is received.
- psycopg2/pg8000 dialects now aware of REAL[], FLOAT[],
DOUBLE_PRECISION[], NUMERIC[] return types without
raising an exception.
- Postgresql reflects the name of primary key constraints,
if one exists. [ticket:1769]
- oracle
- Now using cx_oracle output converters so that the
DBAPI returns natively the kinds of values we prefer:
- NUMBER values with positive precision + scale convert
to cx_oracle.STRING and then to Decimal. This
allows perfect precision for the Numeric type when
using cx_oracle. [ticket:1759]
- STRING/FIXED_CHAR now convert to unicode natively.
SQLAlchemy's String types then don't need to
apply any kind of conversions.
- firebird
- The functionality of result.rowcount can be disabled on a
per-engine basis by setting 'enable_rowcount=False'
on create_engine(). Normally, cursor.rowcount is called
after any UPDATE or DELETE statement unconditionally,
because the cursor is then closed and Firebird requires
an open cursor in order to get a rowcount. This
call is slightly expensive however so it can be disabled.
To re-enable on a per-execution basis, the
'enable_rowcount=True' execution option may be used.
- examples
- Updated attribute_shard.py example to use a more robust
method of searching a Query for binary expressions which
compare columns against literal values.
0.6beta3
========
- orm
- Major feature: Added new "subquery" loading capability to
relationship(). This is an eager loading option which
generates a second SELECT for each collection represented
in a query, across all parents at once. The query
re-issues the original end-user query wrapped in a subquery,
applies joins out to the target collection, and loads
all those collections fully in one result, similar to
"joined" eager loading but using all inner joins and not
re-fetching full parent rows repeatedly (as most DBAPIs seem
to do, even if columns are skipped). Subquery loading is
available at mapper config level using "lazy='subquery'" and
at the query options level using "subqueryload(props..)",
"subqueryload_all(props...)". [ticket:1675]
- To accomodate the fact that there are now two kinds of eager
loading available, the new names for eagerload() and
eagerload_all() are joinedload() and joinedload_all(). The
old names will remain as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- The "lazy" flag on the relationship() function now accepts
a string argument for all kinds of loading: "select", "joined",
"subquery", "noload" and "dynamic", where the default is now
"select". The old values of True/
False/None still retain their usual meanings and will remain
as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- Added with_hint() method to Query() construct. This calls
directly down to select().with_hint() and also accepts
entities as well as tables and aliases. See with_hint() in the
SQL section below. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug in Query whereby calling q.join(prop).from_self(...).
join(prop) would fail to render the second join outside the
subquery, when joining on the same criterion as was on the
inside.
- Fixed bug in Query whereby the usage of aliased() constructs
would fail if the underlying table (but not the actual alias)
were referenced inside the subquery generated by
q.from_self() or q.select_from().
- Fixed bug which affected all eagerload() and similar options
such that "remote" eager loads, i.e. eagerloads off of a lazy
load such as query(A).options(eagerload(A.b, B.c))
wouldn't eagerload anything, but using eagerload("b.c") would
work fine.
- Query gains an add_columns(*columns) method which is a multi-
version of add_column(col). add_column(col) is future
deprecated.
- Query.join() will detect if the end result will be
"FROM A JOIN A", and will raise an error if so.
- Query.join(Cls.propname, from_joinpoint=True) will check more
carefully that "Cls" is compatible with the current joinpoint,
and act the same way as Query.join("propname", from_joinpoint=True)
in that regard.
- sql
- Added with_hint() method to select() construct. Specify
a table/alias, hint text, and optional dialect name, and
"hints" will be rendered in the appropriate place in the
statement. Works for Oracle, Sybase, MySQL. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug introduced in 0.6beta2 where column labels would
render inside of column expressions already assigned a label.
[ticket:1747]
- postgresql
- The psycopg2 dialect will log NOTICE messages via the
"sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql" logger name.
[ticket:877]
- the TIME and TIMESTAMP types are now availble from the
postgresql dialect directly, which add the PG-specific
argument 'precision' to both. 'precision' and
'timezone' are correctly reflected for both TIME and
TIMEZONE types. [ticket:997]
- mysql
- No longer guessing that TINYINT(1) should be BOOLEAN
when reflecting - TINYINT(1) is returned. Use Boolean/
BOOLEAN in table definition to get boolean conversion
behavior. [ticket:1752]
- oracle
- The Oracle dialect will issue VARCHAR type definitions
using character counts, i.e. VARCHAR2(50 CHAR), so that
the column is sized in terms of characters and not bytes.
Column reflection of character types will also use
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.CHAR_LENGTH instead of
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.DATA_LENGTH. Both of these behaviors take
effect when the server version is 9 or higher - for
version 8, the old behaviors are used. [ticket:1744]
- declarative
- Using a mixin won't break if the mixin implements an
unpredictable __getattribute__(), i.e. Zope interfaces.
[ticket:1746]
- Using @classdecorator and similar on mixins to define
__tablename__, __table_args__, etc. now works if
the method references attributes on the ultimate
subclass. [ticket:1749]
- relationships and columns with foreign keys aren't
allowed on declarative mixins, sorry. [ticket:1751]
- ext
- The sqlalchemy.orm.shard module now becomes an extension,
sqlalchemy.ext.horizontal_shard. The old import
works with a deprecation warning.
0.6beta2
========
- py3k
- Improved the installation/test setup regarding Python 3,
now that Distribute runs on Py3k. distribute_setup.py
is now included. See README.py3k for Python 3 installation/
testing instructions.
- orm
- The official name for the relation() function is now
relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational
algebra term. relation() however will remain available
in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
- Added "version_id_generator" argument to Mapper, this is a
callable that, given the current value of the "version_id_col",
returns the next version number. Can be used for alternate
versioning schemes such as uuid, timestamps. [ticket:1692]
- added "lockmode" kw argument to Session.refresh(), will
pass through the string value to Query the same as
in with_lockmode(), will also do version check for a
version_id_col-enabled mapping.
- Fixed bug whereby calling query(A).join(A.bs).add_entity(B)
in a joined inheritance scenario would double-add B as a
target and produce an invalid query. [ticket:1188]
- Fixed bug in session.rollback() which involved not removing
formerly "pending" objects from the session before
re-integrating "deleted" objects, typically occured with
natural primary keys. If there was a primary key conflict
between them, the attach of the deleted would fail
internally. The formerly "pending" objects are now expunged
first. [ticket:1674]
- Removed a lot of logging that nobody really cares about,
logging that remains will respond to live changes in the
log level. No significant overhead is added. [ticket:1719]
- Fixed bug in session.merge() which prevented dict-like
collections from merging.
- session.merge() works with relations that specifically
don't include "merge" in their cascade options - the target
is ignored completely.
- session.merge() will not expire existing scalar attributes
on an existing target if the target has a value for that
attribute, even if the incoming merged doesn't have
a value for the attribute. This prevents unnecessary loads
on existing items. Will still mark the attr as expired
if the destination doesn't have the attr, though, which
fulfills some contracts of deferred cols. [ticket:1681]
- The "allow_null_pks" flag is now called "allow_partial_pks",
defaults to True, acts like it did in 0.5 again. Except,
it also is implemented within merge() such that a SELECT
won't be issued for an incoming instance with partially
NULL primary key if the flag is False. [ticket:1680]
- Fixed bug in 0.6-reworked "many-to-one" optimizations
such that a many-to-one that is against a non-primary key
column on the remote table (i.e. foreign key against a
UNIQUE column) will pull the "old" value in from the
database during a change, since if it's in the session
we will need it for proper history/backref accounting,
and we can't pull from the local identity map on a
non-primary key column. [ticket:1737]
- fixed internal error which would occur if calling has()
or similar complex expression on a single-table inheritance
relation(). [ticket:1731]
- query.one() no longer applies LIMIT to the query, this to
ensure that it fully counts all object identities present
in the result, even in the case where joins may conceal
multiple identities for two or more rows. As a bonus,
one() can now also be called with a query that issued
from_statement() to start with since it no longer modifies
the query. [ticket:1688]
- query.get() now returns None if queried for an identifier
that is present in the identity map with a different class
than the one requested, i.e. when using polymorphic loading.
[ticket:1727]
- A major fix in query.join(), when the "on" clause is an
attribute of an aliased() construct, but there is already
an existing join made out to a compatible target, query properly
joins to the right aliased() construct instead of sticking
onto the right side of the existing join. [ticket:1706]
- Slight improvement to the fix for [ticket:1362] to not issue
needless updates of the primary key column during a so-called
"row switch" operation, i.e. add + delete of two objects
with the same PK.
- Now uses sqlalchemy.orm.exc.DetachedInstanceError when an
attribute load or refresh action fails due to object
being detached from any Session. UnboundExecutionError
is specific to engines bound to sessions and statements.
- Query called in the context of an expression will render
disambiguating labels in all cases. Note that this does
not apply to the existing .statement and .subquery()
accessor/method, which still honors the .with_labels()
setting that defaults to False.
- Query.union() retains disambiguating labels within the
returned statement, thus avoiding various SQL composition
errors which can result from column name conflicts.
[ticket:1676]
- Fixed bug in attribute history that inadvertently invoked
__eq__ on mapped instances.
- Some internal streamlining of object loading grants a
small speedup for large results, estimates are around
10-15%. Gave the "state" internals a good solid
cleanup with less complexity, datamembers,
method calls, blank dictionary creates.
- Documentation clarification for query.delete()
[ticket:1689]
- Fixed cascade bug in many-to-one relation() when attribute
was set to None, introduced in r6711 (cascade deleted
items into session during add()).
- Calling query.order_by() or query.distinct() before calling
query.select_from(), query.with_polymorphic(), or
query.from_statement() raises an exception now instead of
silently dropping those criterion. [ticket:1736]
- query.scalar() now raises an exception if more than one
row is returned. All other behavior remains the same.
[ticket:1735]
- Fixed bug which caused "row switch" logic, that is an
INSERT and DELETE replaced by an UPDATE, to fail when
version_id_col was in use. [ticket:1692]
- sql
- join() will now simulate a NATURAL JOIN by default. Meaning,
if the left side is a join, it will attempt to join the right
side to the rightmost side of the left first, and not raise
any exceptions about ambiguous join conditions if successful
even if there are further join targets across the rest of
the left. [ticket:1714]
- The most common result processors conversion function were
moved to the new "processors" module. Dialect authors are
encouraged to use those functions whenever they correspond
to their needs instead of implementing custom ones.
- SchemaType and subclasses Boolean, Enum are now serializable,
including their ddl listener and other event callables.
[ticket:1694] [ticket:1698]
- Some platforms will now interpret certain literal values
as non-bind parameters, rendered literally into the SQL
statement. This to support strict SQL-92 rules that are
enforced by some platforms including MS-SQL and Sybase.
In this model, bind parameters aren't allowed in the
columns clause of a SELECT, nor are certain ambiguous
expressions like "?=?". When this mode is enabled, the base
compiler will render the binds as inline literals, but only across
strings and numeric values. Other types such as dates
will raise an error, unless the dialect subclass defines
a literal rendering function for those. The bind parameter
must have an embedded literal value already or an error
is raised (i.e. won't work with straight bindparam('x')).
Dialects can also expand upon the areas where binds are not
accepted, such as within argument lists of functions
(which don't work on MS-SQL when native SQL binding is used).
- Added "unicode_errors" parameter to String, Unicode, etc.
Behaves like the 'errors' keyword argument to
the standard library's string.decode() functions. This flag
requires that `convert_unicode` is set to `"force"` - otherwise,
SQLAlchemy is not guaranteed to handle the task of unicode
conversion. Note that this flag adds significant performance
overhead to row-fetching operations for backends that already
return unicode objects natively (which most DBAPIs do). This
flag should only be used as an absolute last resort for reading
strings from a column with varied or corrupted encodings,
which only applies to databases that accept invalid encodings
in the first place (i.e. MySQL. *not* PG, Sqlite, etc.)
- Added math negation operator support, -x.
- FunctionElement subclasses are now directly executable the
same way any func.foo() construct is, with automatic
SELECT being applied when passed to execute().
- The "type" and "bind" keyword arguments of a func.foo()
construct are now local to "func." constructs and are
not part of the FunctionElement base class, allowing
a "type" to be handled in a custom constructor or
class-level variable.
- Restored the keys() method to ResultProxy.
- The type/expression system now does a more complete job
of determining the return type from an expression
as well as the adaptation of the Python operator into
a SQL operator, based on the full left/right/operator
of the given expression. In particular
the date/time/interval system created for Postgresql
EXTRACT in [ticket:1647] has now been generalized into
the type system. The previous behavior which often
occured of an expression "column + literal" forcing
the type of "literal" to be the same as that of "column"
will now usually not occur - the type of
"literal" is first derived from the Python type of the
literal, assuming standard native Python types + date
types, before falling back to that of the known type
on the other side of the expression. If the
"fallback" type is compatible (i.e. CHAR from String),
the literal side will use that. TypeDecorator
types override this by default to coerce the "literal"
side unconditionally, which can be changed by implementing
the coerce_compared_value() method. Also part of
[ticket:1683].
- Made sqlalchemy.sql.expressions.Executable part of public
API, used for any expression construct that can be sent to
execute(). FunctionElement now inherits Executable so that
it gains execution_options(), which are also propagated
to the select() that's generated within execute().
Executable in turn subclasses _Generative which marks
any ClauseElement that supports the @_generative
decorator - these may also become "public" for the benefit
of the compiler extension at some point.
- A change to the solution for [ticket:1579] - an end-user
defined bind parameter name that directly conflicts with
a column-named bind generated directly from the SET or
VALUES clause of an update/insert generates a compile error.
This reduces call counts and eliminates some cases where
undesirable name conflicts could still occur.
- Column() requires a type if it has no foreign keys (this is
not new). An error is now raised if a Column() has no type
and no foreign keys. [ticket:1705]
- the "scale" argument of the Numeric() type is honored when
coercing a returned floating point value into a string
on its way to Decimal - this allows accuracy to function
on SQLite, MySQL. [ticket:1717]
- the copy() method of Column now copies over uninitialized
"on table attach" events. Helps with the new declarative
"mixin" capability.
- engines
- Added an optional C extension to speed up the sql layer by
reimplementing RowProxy and the most common result processors.
The actual speedups will depend heavily on your DBAPI and
the mix of datatypes used in your tables, and can vary from
a 30% improvement to more than 200%. It also provides a modest
(~15-20%) indirect improvement to ORM speed for large queries.
Note that it is *not* built/installed by default.
See README for installation instructions.
- the execution sequence pulls all rowcount/last inserted ID
info from the cursor before commit() is called on the
DBAPI connection in an "autocommit" scenario. This helps
mxodbc with rowcount and is probably a good idea overall.
- Opened up logging a bit such that isEnabledFor() is called
more often, so that changes to the log level for engine/pool
will be reflected on next connect. This adds a small
amount of method call overhead. It's negligible and will make
life a lot easier for all those situations when logging
just happens to be configured after create_engine() is called.
[ticket:1719]
- The assert_unicode flag is deprecated. SQLAlchemy will raise
a warning in all cases where it is asked to encode a non-unicode
Python string, as well as when a Unicode or UnicodeType type
is explicitly passed a bytestring. The String type will do nothing
for DBAPIs that already accept Python unicode objects.
- Bind parameters are sent as a tuple instead of a list. Some
backend drivers will not accept bind parameters as a list.
- threadlocal engine wasn't properly closing the connection
upon close() - fixed that.
- Transaction object doesn't rollback or commit if it isn't
"active", allows more accurate nesting of begin/rollback/commit.
- Python unicode objects as binds result in the Unicode type,
not string, thus eliminating a certain class of unicode errors
on drivers that don't support unicode binds.
- Added "logging_name" argument to create_engine(), Pool() constructor
as well as "pool_logging_name" argument to create_engine() which
filters down to that of Pool. Issues the given string name
within the "name" field of logging messages instead of the default
hex identifier string. [ticket:1555]
- The visit_pool() method of Dialect is removed, and replaced with
on_connect(). This method returns a callable which receives
the raw DBAPI connection after each one is created. The callable
is assembled into a first_connect/connect pool listener by the
connection strategy if non-None. Provides a simpler interface
for dialects.
- StaticPool now initializes, disposes and recreates without
opening a new connection - the connection is only opened when
first requested. dispose() also works on AssertionPool now.
[ticket:1728]
- metadata
- Added the ability to strip schema information when using
"tometadata" by passing "schema=None" as an argument. If schema
is not specified then the table's schema is retained.
[ticket: 1673]
- declarative
- DeclarativeMeta exclusively uses cls.__dict__ (not dict_)
as the source of class information; _as_declarative exclusively
uses the dict_ passed to it as the source of class information
(which when using DeclarativeMeta is cls.__dict__). This should
in theory make it easier for custom metaclasses to modify
the state passed into _as_declarative.
- declarative now accepts mixin classes directly, as a means
to provide common functional and column-based elements on
all subclasses, as well as a means to propagate a fixed
set of __table_args__ or __mapper_args__ to subclasses.
For custom combinations of __table_args__/__mapper_args__ from
an inherited mixin to local, descriptors can now be used.
New details are all up in the Declarative documentation.
Thanks to Chris Withers for putting up with my strife
on this. [ticket:1707]
- the __mapper_args__ dict is copied when propagating to a subclass,
and is taken straight off the class __dict__ to avoid any
propagation from the parent. mapper inheritance already
propagates the things you want from the parent mapper.
[ticket:1393]
- An exception is raised when a single-table subclass specifies
a column that is already present on the base class.
[ticket:1732]
- mysql
- Fixed reflection bug whereby when COLLATE was present,
nullable flag and server defaults would not be reflected.
[ticket:1655]
- Fixed reflection of TINYINT(1) "boolean" columns defined with
integer flags like UNSIGNED.
- Further fixes for the mysql-connector dialect. [ticket:1668]
- Composite PK table on InnoDB where the "autoincrement" column
isn't first will emit an explicit "KEY" phrase within
CREATE TABLE thereby avoiding errors, [ticket:1496]
- Added reflection/create table support for a wide range
of MySQL keywords. [ticket:1634]
- Fixed import error which could occur reflecting tables on
a Windows host [ticket:1580]
- mssql
- Re-established support for the pymssql dialect.
- Various fixes for implicit returning, reflection,
etc. - the MS-SQL dialects aren't quite complete
in 0.6 yet (but are close)
- Added basic support for mxODBC [ticket:1710].
- Removed the text_as_varchar option.
- oracle
- "out" parameters require a type that is supported by
cx_oracle. An error will be raised if no cx_oracle
type can be found.
- Oracle 'DATE' now does not perform any result processing,
as the DATE type in Oracle stores full date+time objects,
that's what you'll get. Note that the generic types.Date
type *will* still call value.date() on incoming values,
however. When reflecting a table, the reflected type
will be 'DATE'.
- Added preliminary support for Oracle's WITH_UNICODE
mode. At the very least this establishes initial
support for cx_Oracle with Python 3. When WITH_UNICODE
mode is used in Python 2.xx, a large and scary warning
is emitted asking that the user seriously consider
the usage of this difficult mode of operation.
[ticket:1670]
- The except_() method now renders as MINUS on Oracle,
which is more or less equivalent on that platform.
[ticket:1712]
- Added support for rendering and reflecting
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, i.e. TIMESTAMP(timezone=True).
[ticket:651]
- Oracle INTERVAL type can now be reflected.
- sqlite
- Added "native_datetime=True" flag to create_engine().
This will cause the DATE and TIMESTAMP types to skip
all bind parameter and result row processing, under
the assumption that PARSE_DECLTYPES has been enabled
on the connection. Note that this is not entirely
compatible with the "func.current_date()", which
will be returned as a string. [ticket:1685]
- sybase
- Implemented a preliminary working dialect for Sybase,
with sub-implementations for Python-Sybase as well
as Pyodbc. Handles table
creates/drops and basic round trip functionality.
Does not yet include reflection or comprehensive
support of unicode/special expressions/etc.
- examples
- Changed the beaker cache example a bit to have a separate
RelationCache option for lazyload caching. This object
does a lookup among any number of potential attributes
more efficiently by grouping several into a common structure.
Both FromCache and RelationCache are simpler individually.
- documentation
- Major cleanup work in the docs to link class, function, and
method names into the API docs. [ticket:1700/1702/1703]
0.6beta1
========
- Major Release
- For the full set of feature descriptions, see
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/06Migration .
This document is a work in progress.
- All bug fixes and feature enhancements from the most
recent 0.5 version and below are also included within 0.6.
- Platforms targeted now include Python 2.4/2.5/2.6, Python
3.1, Jython2.5.
- orm
- Changes to query.update() and query.delete():
- the 'expire' option on query.update() has been renamed to
'fetch', thus matching that of query.delete().
'expire' is deprecated and issues a warning.
- query.update() and query.delete() both default to
'evaluate' for the synchronize strategy.
- the 'synchronize' strategy for update() and delete()
raises an error on failure. There is no implicit fallback
onto "fetch". Failure of evaluation is based on the
structure of criteria, so success/failure is deterministic
based on code structure.
- Enhancements on many-to-one relations:
- many-to-one relations now fire off a lazyload in fewer
cases, including in most cases will not fetch the "old"
value when a new one is replaced.
- many-to-one relation to a joined-table subclass now uses
get() for a simple load (known as the "use_get"
condition), i.e. Related->Sub(Base), without the need to
redefine the primaryjoin condition in terms of the base
table. [ticket:1186]
- specifying a foreign key with a declarative column, i.e.
ForeignKey(MyRelatedClass.id) doesn't break the "use_get"
condition from taking place [ticket:1492]
- relation(), eagerload(), and eagerload_all() now feature
an option called "innerjoin". Specify `True` or `False` to
control whether an eager join is constructed as an INNER
or OUTER join. Default is `False` as always. The mapper
options will override whichever setting is specified on
relation(). Should generally be set for many-to-one, not
nullable foreign key relations to allow improved join
performance. [ticket:1544]
- the behavior of eagerloading such that the main query is
wrapped in a subquery when LIMIT/OFFSET are present now
makes an exception for the case when all eager loads are
many-to-one joins. In those cases, the eager joins are
against the parent table directly along with the
limit/offset without the extra overhead of a subquery,
since a many-to-one join does not add rows to the result.
- Enhancements / Changes on Session.merge():
- the "dont_load=True" flag on Session.merge() is deprecated
and is now "load=False".
- Session.merge() is performance optimized, using half the
call counts for "load=False" mode compared to 0.5 and
significantly fewer SQL queries in the case of collections
for "load=True" mode.
- merge() will not issue a needless merge of attributes if the
given instance is the same instance which is already present.
- merge() now also merges the "options" associated with a given
state, i.e. those passed through query.options() which follow
along with an instance, such as options to eagerly- or
lazyily- load various attributes. This is essential for
the construction of highly integrated caching schemes. This
is a subtle behavioral change vs. 0.5.
- A bug was fixed regarding the serialization of the "loader
path" present on an instance's state, which is also necessary
when combining the usage of merge() with serialized state
and associated options that should be preserved.
- The all new merge() is showcased in a new comprehensive
example of how to integrate Beaker with SQLAlchemy. See
the notes in the "examples" note below.
- Primary key values can now be changed on a joined-table inheritance
object, and ON UPDATE CASCADE will be taken into account when
the flush happens. Set the new "passive_updates" flag to False
on mapper() when using SQLite or MySQL/MyISAM. [ticket:1362]
- flush() now detects when a primary key column was updated by
an ON UPDATE CASCADE operation from another primary key, and
can then locate the row for a subsequent UPDATE on the new PK
value. This occurs when a relation() is there to establish
the relationship as well as passive_updates=True. [ticket:1671]
- the "save-update" cascade will now cascade the pending *removed*
values from a scalar or collection attribute into the new session
during an add() operation. This so that the flush() operation
will also delete or modify rows of those disconnected items.
- Using a "dynamic" loader with a "secondary" table now produces
a query where the "secondary" table is *not* aliased. This
allows the secondary Table object to be used in the "order_by"
attribute of the relation(), and also allows it to be used
in filter criterion against the dynamic relation.
[ticket:1531]
- relation() with uselist=False will emit a warning when
an eager or lazy load locates more than one valid value for
the row. This may be due to primaryjoin/secondaryjoin
conditions which aren't appropriate for an eager LEFT OUTER
JOIN or for other conditions. [ticket:1643]
- an explicit check occurs when a synonym() is used with
map_column=True, when a ColumnProperty (deferred or otherwise)
exists separately in the properties dictionary sent to mapper
with the same keyname. Instead of silently replacing
the existing property (and possible options on that property),
an error is raised. [ticket:1633]
- a "dynamic" loader sets up its query criterion at construction
time so that the actual query is returned from non-cloning
accessors like "statement".
- the "named tuple" objects returned when iterating a
Query() are now pickleable.
- mapping to a select() construct now requires that you
make an alias() out of it distinctly. This to eliminate
confusion over such issues as [ticket:1542]
- query.join() has been reworked to provide more consistent
behavior and more flexibility (includes [ticket:1537])
- query.select_from() accepts multiple clauses to produce
multiple comma separated entries within the FROM clause.
Useful when selecting from multiple-homed join() clauses.
- query.select_from() also accepts mapped classes, aliased()
constructs, and mappers as arguments. In particular this
helps when querying from multiple joined-table classes to ensure
the full join gets rendered.
- query.get() can be used with a mapping to an outer join
where one or more of the primary key values are None.
[ticket:1135]
- query.from_self(), query.union(), others which do a
"SELECT * from (SELECT...)" type of nesting will do
a better job translating column expressions within the subquery
to the columns clause of the outer query. This is
potentially backwards incompatible with 0.5, in that this
may break queries with literal expressions that do not have labels
applied (i.e. literal('foo'), etc.)
[ticket:1568]
- relation primaryjoin and secondaryjoin now check that they
are column-expressions, not just clause elements. this prohibits
things like FROM expressions being placed there directly.
[ticket:1622]
- `expression.null()` is fully understood the same way
None is when comparing an object/collection-referencing
attribute within query.filter(), filter_by(), etc.
[ticket:1415]
- added "make_transient()" helper function which transforms a
persistent/ detached instance into a transient one (i.e.
deletes the instance_key and removes from any session.)
[ticket:1052]
- the allow_null_pks flag on mapper() is deprecated, and
the feature is turned "on" by default. This means that
a row which has a non-null value for any of its primary key
columns will be considered an identity. The need for this
scenario typically only occurs when mapping to an outer join.
[ticket:1339]
- the mechanics of "backref" have been fully merged into the
finer grained "back_populates" system, and take place entirely
within the _generate_backref() method of RelationProperty. This
makes the initialization procedure of RelationProperty
simpler and allows easier propagation of settings (such as from
subclasses of RelationProperty) into the reverse reference.
The internal BackRef() is gone and backref() returns a plain
tuple that is understood by RelationProperty.
- The version_id_col feature on mapper() will raise a warning when
used with dialects that don't support "rowcount" adequately.
[ticket:1569]
- added "execution_options()" to Query, to so options can be
passed to the resulting statement. Currently only
Select-statements have these options, and the only option
used is "stream_results", and the only dialect which knows
"stream_results" is psycopg2.
- Query.yield_per() will set the "stream_results" statement
option automatically.
- Deprecated or removed:
* 'allow_null_pks' flag on mapper() is deprecated. It does
nothing now and the setting is "on" in all cases.
* 'transactional' flag on sessionmaker() and others is
removed. Use 'autocommit=True' to indicate 'transactional=False'.
* 'polymorphic_fetch' argument on mapper() is removed.
Loading can be controlled using the 'with_polymorphic'
option.
* 'select_table' argument on mapper() is removed. Use
'with_polymorphic=("*", <some selectable>)' for this
functionality.
* 'proxy' argument on synonym() is removed. This flag
did nothing throughout 0.5, as the "proxy generation"
behavior is now automatic.
* Passing a single list of elements to eagerload(),
eagerload_all(), contains_eager(), lazyload(),
defer(), and undefer() instead of multiple positional
*args is deprecated.
* Passing a single list of elements to query.order_by(),
query.group_by(), query.join(), or query.outerjoin()
instead of multiple positional *args is deprecated.
* query.iterate_instances() is removed. Use query.instances().
* Query.query_from_parent() is removed. Use the
sqlalchemy.orm.with_parent() function to produce a
"parent" clause, or alternatively query.with_parent().
* query._from_self() is removed, use query.from_self()
instead.
* the "comparator" argument to composite() is removed.
Use "comparator_factory".
* RelationProperty._get_join() is removed.
* the 'echo_uow' flag on Session is removed. Use
logging on the "sqlalchemy.orm.unitofwork" name.
* session.clear() is removed. use session.expunge_all().
* session.save(), session.update(), session.save_or_update()
are removed. Use session.add() and session.add_all().
* the "objects" flag on session.flush() remains deprecated.
* the "dont_load=True" flag on session.merge() is deprecated
in favor of "load=False".
* ScopedSession.mapper remains deprecated. See the
usage recipe at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/SessionAwareMapper
* passing an InstanceState (internal SQLAlchemy state object) to
attributes.init_collection() or attributes.get_history() is
deprecated. These functions are public API and normally
expect a regular mapped object instance.
* the 'engine' parameter to declarative_base() is removed.
Use the 'bind' keyword argument.
- sql
- the "autocommit" flag on select() and text() as well
as select().autocommit() are deprecated - now call
.execution_options(autocommit=True) on either of those
constructs, also available directly on Connection and orm.Query.
- the autoincrement flag on column now indicates the column
which should be linked to cursor.lastrowid, if that method
is used. See the API docs for details.
- an executemany() now requires that all bound parameter
sets require that all keys are present which are
present in the first bound parameter set. The structure
and behavior of an insert/update statement is very much
determined by the first parameter set, including which
defaults are going to fire off, and a minimum of
guesswork is performed with all the rest so that performance
is not impacted. For this reason defaults would otherwise
silently "fail" for missing parameters, so this is now guarded
against. [ticket:1566]
- returning() support is native to insert(), update(),
delete(). Implementations of varying levels of
functionality exist for Postgresql, Firebird, MSSQL and
Oracle. returning() can be called explicitly with column
expressions which are then returned in the resultset,
usually via fetchone() or first().
insert() constructs will also use RETURNING implicitly to
get newly generated primary key values, if the database
version in use supports it (a version number check is
performed). This occurs if no end-user returning() was
specified.
- union(), intersect(), except() and other "compound" types
of statements have more consistent behavior w.r.t.
parenthesizing. Each compound element embedded within
another will now be grouped with parenthesis - previously,
the first compound element in the list would not be grouped,
as SQLite doesn't like a statement to start with
parenthesis. However, Postgresql in particular has
precedence rules regarding INTERSECT, and it is
more consistent for parenthesis to be applied equally
to all sub-elements. So now, the workaround for SQLite
is also what the workaround for PG was previously -
when nesting compound elements, the first one usually needs
".alias().select()" called on it to wrap it inside
of a subquery. [ticket:1665]
- insert() and update() constructs can now embed bindparam()
objects using names that match the keys of columns. These
bind parameters will circumvent the usual route to those
keys showing up in the VALUES or SET clause of the generated
SQL. [ticket:1579]
- the Binary type now returns data as a Python string
(or a "bytes" type in Python 3), instead of the built-
in "buffer" type. This allows symmetric round trips
of binary data. [ticket:1524]
- Added a tuple_() construct, allows sets of expressions
to be compared to another set, typically with IN against
composite primary keys or similar. Also accepts an
IN with multiple columns. The "scalar select can
have only one column" error message is removed - will
rely upon the database to report problems with
col mismatch.
- User-defined "default" and "onupdate" callables which
accept a context should now call upon
"context.current_parameters" to get at the dictionary
of bind parameters currently being processed. This
dict is available in the same way regardless of
single-execute or executemany-style statement execution.
- multi-part schema names, i.e. with dots such as
"dbo.master", are now rendered in select() labels
with underscores for dots, i.e. "dbo_master_table_column".
This is a "friendly" label that behaves better
in result sets. [ticket:1428]
- removed needless "counter" behavior with select()
labelnames that match a column name in the table,
i.e. generates "tablename_id" for "id", instead of
"tablename_id_1" in an attempt to avoid naming
conflicts, when the table has a column actually
named "tablename_id" - this is because
the labeling logic is always applied to all columns
so a naming conflict will never occur.
- calling expr.in_([]), i.e. with an empty list, emits a warning
before issuing the usual "expr != expr" clause. The
"expr != expr" can be very expensive, and it's preferred
that the user not issue in_() if the list is empty,
instead simply not querying, or modifying the criterion
as appropriate for more complex situations.
[ticket:1628]
- Added "execution_options()" to select()/text(), which set the
default options for the Connection. See the note in "engines".
- Deprecated or removed:
* "scalar" flag on select() is removed, use
select.as_scalar().
* "shortname" attribute on bindparam() is removed.
* postgres_returning, firebird_returning flags on
insert(), update(), delete() are deprecated, use
the new returning() method.
* fold_equivalents flag on join is deprecated (will remain
until [ticket:1131] is implemented)
- engines
- transaction isolation level may be specified with
create_engine(... isolation_level="..."); available on
postgresql and sqlite. [ticket:443]
- Connection has execution_options(), generative method
which accepts keywords that affect how the statement
is executed w.r.t. the DBAPI. Currently supports
"stream_results", causes psycopg2 to use a server
side cursor for that statement, as well as
"autocommit", which is the new location for the "autocommit"
option from select() and text(). select() and
text() also have .execution_options() as well as
ORM Query().
- fixed the import for entrypoint-driven dialects to
not rely upon silly tb_info trick to determine import
error status. [ticket:1630]
- added first() method to ResultProxy, returns first row and
closes result set immediately.
- RowProxy objects are now pickleable, i.e. the object returned
by result.fetchone(), result.fetchall() etc.
- RowProxy no longer has a close() method, as the row no longer
maintains a reference to the parent. Call close() on
the parent ResultProxy instead, or use autoclose.
- ResultProxy internals have been overhauled to greatly reduce
method call counts when fetching columns. Can provide a large
speed improvement (up to more than 100%) when fetching large
result sets. The improvement is larger when fetching columns
that have no type-level processing applied and when using
results as tuples (instead of as dictionaries). Many
thanks to Elixir's Gaëtan de Menten for this dramatic
improvement ! [ticket:1586]
- Databases which rely upon postfetch of "last inserted id"
to get at a generated sequence value (i.e. MySQL, MS-SQL)
now work correctly when there is a composite primary key
where the "autoincrement" column is not the first primary
key column in the table.
- the last_inserted_ids() method has been renamed to the
descriptor "inserted_primary_key".
- setting echo=False on create_engine() now sets the loglevel
to WARN instead of NOTSET. This so that logging can be
disabled for a particular engine even if logging
for "sqlalchemy.engine" is enabled overall. Note that the
default setting of "echo" is `None`. [ticket:1554]
- ConnectionProxy now has wrapper methods for all transaction
lifecycle events, including begin(), rollback(), commit()
begin_nested(), begin_prepared(), prepare(), release_savepoint(),
etc.
- Connection pool logging now uses both INFO and DEBUG
log levels for logging. INFO is for major events such
as invalidated connections, DEBUG for all the acquire/return
logging. `echo_pool` can be False, None, True or "debug"
the same way as `echo` works.
- All pyodbc-dialects now support extra pyodbc-specific
kw arguments 'ansi', 'unicode_results', 'autocommit'.
[ticket:1621]
- the "threadlocal" engine has been rewritten and simplified
and now supports SAVEPOINT operations.
- deprecated or removed
* result.last_inserted_ids() is deprecated. Use
result.inserted_primary_key
* dialect.get_default_schema_name(connection) is now
public via dialect.default_schema_name.
* the "connection" argument from engine.transaction() and
engine.run_callable() is removed - Connection itself
now has those methods. All four methods accept
*args and **kwargs which are passed to the given callable,
as well as the operating connection.
- schema
- the `__contains__()` method of `MetaData` now accepts
strings or `Table` objects as arguments. If given
a `Table`, the argument is converted to `table.key` first,
i.e. "[schemaname.]<tablename>" [ticket:1541]
- deprecated MetaData.connect() and
ThreadLocalMetaData.connect() have been removed - send
the "bind" attribute to bind a metadata.
- deprecated metadata.table_iterator() method removed (use
sorted_tables)
- deprecated PassiveDefault - use DefaultClause.
- the "metadata" argument is removed from DefaultGenerator
and subclasses, but remains locally present on Sequence,
which is a standalone construct in DDL.
- Removed public mutability from Index and Constraint
objects:
- ForeignKeyConstraint.append_element()
- Index.append_column()
- UniqueConstraint.append_column()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.add()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.remove()
These should be constructed declaratively (i.e. in one
construction).
- The "start" and "increment" attributes on Sequence now
generate "START WITH" and "INCREMENT BY" by default,
on Oracle and Postgresql. Firebird doesn't support
these keywords right now. [ticket:1545]
- UniqueConstraint, Index, PrimaryKeyConstraint all accept
lists of column names or column objects as arguments.
- Other removed things:
- Table.key (no idea what this was for)
- Table.primary_key is not assignable - use
table.append_constraint(PrimaryKeyConstraint(...))
- Column.bind (get via column.table.bind)
- Column.metadata (get via column.table.metadata)
- Column.sequence (use column.default)
- ForeignKey(constraint=some_parent) (is now private _constraint)
- The use_alter flag on ForeignKey is now a shortcut option
for operations that can be hand-constructed using the
DDL() event system. A side effect of this refactor is
that ForeignKeyConstraint objects with use_alter=True
will *not* be emitted on SQLite, which does not support
ALTER for foreign keys.
- ForeignKey and ForeignKeyConstraint objects now correctly
copy() all their public keyword arguments. [ticket:1605]
- Reflection/Inspection
- Table reflection has been expanded and generalized into
a new API called "sqlalchemy.engine.reflection.Inspector".
The Inspector object provides fine-grained information about
a wide variety of schema information, with room for expansion,
including table names, column names, view definitions, sequences,
indexes, etc.
- Views are now reflectable as ordinary Table objects. The same
Table constructor is used, with the caveat that "effective"
primary and foreign key constraints aren't part of the reflection
results; these have to be specified explicitly if desired.
- The existing autoload=True system now uses Inspector underneath
so that each dialect need only return "raw" data about tables
and other objects - Inspector is the single place that information
is compiled into Table objects so that consistency is at a maximum.
- DDL
- the DDL system has been greatly expanded. the DDL() class
now extends the more generic DDLElement(), which forms the basis
of many new constructs:
- CreateTable()
- DropTable()
- AddConstraint()
- DropConstraint()
- CreateIndex()
- DropIndex()
- CreateSequence()
- DropSequence()
These support "on" and "execute-at()" just like plain DDL()
does. User-defined DDLElement subclasses can be created and
linked to a compiler using the sqlalchemy.ext.compiler extension.
- The signature of the "on" callable passed to DDL() and
DDLElement() is revised as follows:
"ddl" - the DDLElement object itself.
"event" - the string event name.
"target" - previously "schema_item", the Table or
MetaData object triggering the event.
"connection" - the Connection object in use for the operation.
**kw - keyword arguments. In the case of MetaData before/after
create/drop, the list of Table objects for which
CREATE/DROP DDL is to be issued is passed as the kw
argument "tables". This is necessary for metadata-level
DDL that is dependent on the presence of specific tables.
- the "schema_item" attribute of DDL has been renamed to
"target".
- dialect refactor
- Dialect modules are now broken into database dialects
plus DBAPI implementations. Connect URLs are now
preferred to be specified using dialect+driver://...,
i.e. "mysql+mysqldb://scott:tiger@localhost/test". See
the 0.6 documentation for examples.
- the setuptools entrypoint for external dialects is now
called "sqlalchemy.dialects".
- the "owner" keyword argument is removed from Table. Use
"schema" to represent any namespaces to be prepended to
the table name.
- server_version_info becomes a static attribute.
- dialects receive an initialize() event on initial
connection to determine connection properties.
- dialects receive a visit_pool event have an opportunity
to establish pool listeners.
- cached TypeEngine classes are cached per-dialect class
instead of per-dialect.
- new UserDefinedType should be used as a base class for
new types, which preserves the 0.5 behavior of
get_col_spec().
- The result_processor() method of all type classes now
accepts a second argument "coltype", which is the DBAPI
type argument from cursor.description. This argument
can help some types decide on the most efficient processing
of result values.
- Deprecated Dialect.get_params() removed.
- Dialect.get_rowcount() has been renamed to a descriptor
"rowcount", and calls cursor.rowcount directly. Dialects
which need to hardwire a rowcount in for certain calls
should override the method to provide different behavior.
- DefaultRunner and subclasses have been removed. The job
of this object has been simplified and moved into
ExecutionContext. Dialects which support sequences should
add a `fire_sequence()` method to their execution context
implementation. [ticket:1566]
- Functions and operators generated by the compiler now use
(almost) regular dispatch functions of the form
"visit_<opname>" and "visit_<funcname>_fn" to provide
customed processing. This replaces the need to copy the
"functions" and "operators" dictionaries in compiler
subclasses with straightforward visitor methods, and also
allows compiler subclasses complete control over
rendering, as the full _Function or _BinaryExpression
object is passed in.
- postgresql
- New dialects: pg8000, zxjdbc, and pypostgresql
on py3k.
- The "postgres" dialect is now named "postgresql" !
Connection strings look like:
postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test
postgresql+pg8000://scott:tiger@localhost/test
The "postgres" name remains for backwards compatiblity
in the following ways:
- There is a "postgres.py" dummy dialect which
allows old URLs to work, i.e.
postgres://scott:tiger@localhost/test
- The "postgres" name can be imported from the old
"databases" module, i.e. "from
sqlalchemy.databases import postgres" as well as
"dialects", "from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgres
import base as pg", will send a deprecation
warning.
- Special expression arguments are now named
"postgresql_returning" and "postgresql_where", but
the older "postgres_returning" and
"postgres_where" names still work with a
deprecation warning.
- "postgresql_where" now accepts SQL expressions which
can also include literals, which will be quoted as needed.
- The psycopg2 dialect now uses psycopg2's "unicode extension"
on all new connections, which allows all String/Text/etc.
types to skip the need to post-process bytestrings into
unicode (an expensive step due to its volume). Other
dialects which return unicode natively (pg8000, zxjdbc)
also skip unicode post-processing.
- Added new ENUM type, which exists as a schema-level
construct and extends the generic Enum type. Automatically
associates itself with tables and their parent metadata
to issue the appropriate CREATE TYPE/DROP TYPE
commands as needed, supports unicode labels, supports
reflection. [ticket:1511]
- INTERVAL supports an optional "precision" argument
corresponding to the argument that PG accepts.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
psycopg2 can't handle a bind parameter name of
%(foobar)s however and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead
just to treat that one non-existent use case.
[ticket:1279]
- Inserting NULL into a primary key + foreign key column
will allow the "not null constraint" error to raise,
not an attempt to execute a nonexistent "col_id_seq"
sequence. [ticket:1516]
- autoincrement SELECT statements, i.e. those which
select from a procedure that modifies rows, now work
with server-side cursor mode (the named cursor isn't
used for such statements.)
- postgresql dialect can properly detect pg "devel" version
strings, i.e. "8.5devel" [ticket:1636]
- The psycopg2 now respects the statement option
"stream_results". This option overrides the connection setting
"server_side_cursors". If true, server side cursors will be
used for the statement. If false, they will not be used, even
if "server_side_cursors" is true on the
connection. [ticket:1619]
- mysql
- New dialects: oursql, a new native dialect,
MySQL Connector/Python, a native Python port of MySQLdb,
and of course zxjdbc on Jython.
- VARCHAR/NVARCHAR will not render without a length, raises
an error before passing to MySQL. Doesn't impact
CAST since VARCHAR is not allowed in MySQL CAST anyway,
the dialect renders CHAR/NCHAR in those cases.
- all the _detect_XXX() functions now run once underneath
dialect.initialize()
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
MySQLdb can't handle % signs in SQL when executemany() is used,
and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead just to treat that one
non-existent use case. [ticket:1279]
- the BINARY and MSBinary types now generate "BINARY" in all
cases. Omitting the "length" parameter will generate
"BINARY" with no length. Use BLOB to generate an unlengthed
binary column.
- the "quoting='quoted'" argument to MSEnum/ENUM is deprecated.
It's best to rely upon the automatic quoting.
- ENUM now subclasses the new generic Enum type, and also handles
unicode values implicitly, if the given labelnames are unicode
objects.
- a column of type TIMESTAMP now defaults to NULL if
"nullable=False" is not passed to Column(), and no default
is present. This is now consistent with all other types,
and in the case of TIMESTAMP explictly renders "NULL"
due to MySQL's "switching" of default nullability
for TIMESTAMP columns. [ticket:1539]
- oracle
- unit tests pass 100% with cx_oracle !
- support for cx_Oracle's "native unicode" mode which does
not require NLS_LANG to be set. Use the latest 5.0.2 or
later of cx_oracle.
- an NCLOB type is added to the base types.
- use_ansi=False won't leak into the FROM/WHERE clause of
a statement that's selecting from a subquery that also
uses JOIN/OUTERJOIN.
- added native INTERVAL type to the dialect. This supports
only the DAY TO SECOND interval type so far due to lack
of support in cx_oracle for YEAR TO MONTH. [ticket:1467]
- usage of the CHAR type results in cx_oracle's
FIXED_CHAR dbapi type being bound to statements.
- the Oracle dialect now features NUMBER which intends
to act justlike Oracle's NUMBER type. It is the primary
numeric type returned by table reflection and attempts
to return Decimal()/float/int based on the precision/scale
parameters. [ticket:885]
- func.char_length is a generic function for LENGTH
- ForeignKey() which includes onupdate=<value> will emit a
warning, not emit ON UPDATE CASCADE which is unsupported
by oracle
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- using types.BigInteger with Oracle will generate
NUMBER(19) [ticket:1125]
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- firebird
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- mssql
- MSSQL + Pyodbc + FreeTDS now works for the most part,
with possible exceptions regarding binary data as well as
unicode schema identifiers.
- the "has_window_funcs" flag is removed. LIMIT/OFFSET
usage will use ROW NUMBER as always, and if on an older
version of SQL Server, the operation fails. The behavior
is exactly the same except the error is raised by SQL
server instead of the dialect, and no flag setting is
required to enable it.
- the "auto_identity_insert" flag is removed. This feature
always takes effect when an INSERT statement overrides a
column that is known to have a sequence on it. As with
"has_window_funcs", if the underlying driver doesn't
support this, then you can't do this operation in any
case, so there's no point in having a flag.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- removed references to sequence which is no longer used.
implicit identities in mssql work the same as implicit
sequences on any other dialects. Explicit sequences are
enabled through the use of "default=Sequence()". See
the MSSQL dialect documentation for more information.
- sqlite
- DATE, TIME and DATETIME types can now take optional storage_format
and regexp argument. storage_format can be used to store those types
using a custom string format. regexp allows to use a custom regular
expression to match string values from the database.
- Time and DateTime types now use by a default a stricter regular
expression to match strings from the database. Use the regexp
argument if you are using data stored in a legacy format.
- __legacy_microseconds__ on SQLite Time and DateTime types is not
supported anymore. You should use the storage_format argument
instead.
- Date, Time and DateTime types are now stricter in what they accept as
bind parameters: Date type only accepts date objects (and datetime
ones, because they inherit from date), Time only accepts time
objects, and DateTime only accepts date and datetime objects.
- Table() supports a keyword argument "sqlite_autoincrement", which
applies the SQLite keyword "AUTOINCREMENT" to the single integer
primary key column when generating DDL. Will prevent generation of
a separate PRIMARY KEY constraint. [ticket:1016]
- new dialects
- postgresql+pg8000
- postgresql+pypostgresql (partial)
- postgresql+zxjdbc
- mysql+pyodbc
- mysql+zxjdbc
- types
- The construction of types within dialects has been totally
overhauled. Dialects now define publically available types
as UPPERCASE names exclusively, and internal implementation
types using underscore identifiers (i.e. are private).
The system by which types are expressed in SQL and DDL
has been moved to the compiler system. This has the
effect that there are much fewer type objects within
most dialects. A detailed document on this architecture
for dialect authors is in
lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/type_migration_guidelines.txt .
- Types no longer make any guesses as to default
parameters. In particular, Numeric, Float, NUMERIC,
FLOAT, DECIMAL don't generate any length or scale unless
specified.
- types.Binary is renamed to types.LargeBinary, it only
produces BLOB, BYTEA, or a similar "long binary" type.
New base BINARY and VARBINARY
types have been added to access these MySQL/MS-SQL specific
types in an agnostic way [ticket:1664].
- String/Text/Unicode types now skip the unicode() check
on each result column value if the dialect has
detected the DBAPI as returning Python unicode objects
natively. This check is issued on first connect
using "SELECT CAST 'some text' AS VARCHAR(10)" or
equivalent, then checking if the returned object
is a Python unicode. This allows vast performance
increases for native-unicode DBAPIs, including
pysqlite/sqlite3, psycopg2, and pg8000.
- Most types result processors have been checked for possible speed
improvements. Specifically, the following generic types have been
optimized, resulting in varying speed improvements:
Unicode, PickleType, Interval, TypeDecorator, Binary.
Also the following dbapi-specific implementations have been improved:
Time, Date and DateTime on Sqlite, ARRAY on Postgresql,
Time on MySQL, Numeric(as_decimal=False) on MySQL, oursql and
pypostgresql, DateTime on cx_oracle and LOB-based types on cx_oracle.
- Reflection of types now returns the exact UPPERCASE
type within types.py, or the UPPERCASE type within
the dialect itself if the type is not a standard SQL
type. This means reflection now returns more accurate
information about reflected types.
- Added a new Enum generic type. Enum is a schema-aware object
to support databases which require specific DDL in order to
use enum or equivalent; in the case of PG it handles the
details of `CREATE TYPE`, and on other databases without
native enum support will by generate VARCHAR + an inline CHECK
constraint to enforce the enum.
[ticket:1109] [ticket:1511]
- The Interval type includes a "native" flag which controls
if native INTERVAL types (postgresql + oracle) are selected
if available, or not. "day_precision" and "second_precision"
arguments are also added which propagate as appropriately
to these native types. Related to [ticket:1467].
- The Boolean type, when used on a backend that doesn't
have native boolean support, will generate a CHECK
constraint "col IN (0, 1)" along with the int/smallint-
based column type. This can be switched off if
desired with create_constraint=False.
Note that MySQL has no native boolean *or* CHECK constraint
support so this feature isn't available on that platform.
[ticket:1589]
- PickleType now uses == for comparison of values when
mutable=True, unless the "comparator" argument with a
comparsion function is specified to the type. Objects
being pickled will be compared based on identity (which
defeats the purpose of mutable=True) if __eq__() is not
overridden or a comparison function is not provided.
- The default "precision" and "scale" arguments of Numeric
and Float have been removed and now default to None.
NUMERIC and FLOAT will be rendered with no numeric
arguments by default unless these values are provided.
- AbstractType.get_search_list() is removed - the games
that was used for are no longer necessary.
- Added a generic BigInteger type, compiles to
BIGINT or NUMBER(19). [ticket:1125]
-ext
- sqlsoup has been overhauled to explicitly support an 0.5 style
session, using autocommit=False, autoflush=True. Default
behavior of SQLSoup now requires the usual usage of commit()
and rollback(), which have been added to its interface. An
explcit Session or scoped_session can be passed to the
constructor, allowing these arguments to be overridden.
- sqlsoup db.<sometable>.update() and delete() now call
query(cls).update() and delete(), respectively.
- sqlsoup now has execute() and connection(), which call upon
the Session methods of those names, ensuring that the bind is
in terms of the SqlSoup object's bind.
- sqlsoup objects no longer have the 'query' attribute - it's
not needed for sqlsoup's usage paradigm and it gets in the
way of a column that is actually named 'query'.
- The signature of the proxy_factory callable passed to
association_proxy is now (lazy_collection, creator,
value_attr, association_proxy), adding a fourth argument
that is the parent AssociationProxy argument. Allows
serializability and subclassing of the built in collections.
[ticket:1259]
- association_proxy now has basic comparator methods .any(),
.has(), .contains(), ==, !=, thanks to Scott Torborg.
[ticket:1372]
- examples
- The "query_cache" examples have been removed, and are replaced
with a fully comprehensive approach that combines the usage of
Beaker with SQLAlchemy. New query options are used to indicate
the caching characteristics of a particular Query, which
can also be invoked deep within an object graph when lazily
loading related objects. See /examples/beaker_caching/README.
0.5.9
=====
- sql
- Fixed erroneous self_group() call in expression package.
[ticket:1661]
0.5.8
=====
- sql
- The copy() method on Column now supports uninitialized,
unnamed Column objects. This allows easy creation of
declarative helpers which place common columns on multiple
subclasses.
- Default generators like Sequence() translate correctly
across a copy() operation.
- Sequence() and other DefaultGenerator objects are accepted
as the value for the "default" and "onupdate" keyword
arguments of Column, in addition to being accepted
positionally.
- Fixed a column arithmetic bug that affected column
correspondence for cloned selectables which contain
free-standing column expressions. This bug is
generally only noticeable when exercising newer
ORM behavior only availble in 0.6 via [ticket:1568],
but is more correct at the SQL expression level
as well. [ticket:1617]
- postgresql
- The extract() function, which was slightly improved in
0.5.7, needed a lot more work to generate the correct
typecast (the typecasts appear to be necessary in PG's
EXTRACT quite a lot of the time). The typecast is
now generated using a rule dictionary based
on PG's documentation for date/time/interval arithmetic.
It also accepts text() constructs again, which was broken
in 0.5.7. [ticket:1647]
- firebird
- Recognize more errors as disconnections. [ticket:1646]
0.5.7
=====
- orm
- contains_eager() now works with the automatically
generated subquery that results when you say
"query(Parent).join(Parent.somejoinedsubclass)", i.e.
when Parent joins to a joined-table-inheritance subclass.
Previously contains_eager() would erroneously add the
subclass table to the query separately producing a
cartesian product. An example is in the ticket
description. [ticket:1543]
- query.options() now only propagate to loaded objects
for potential further sub-loads only for options where
such behavior is relevant, keeping
various unserializable options like those generated
by contains_eager() out of individual instance states.
[ticket:1553]
- Session.execute() now locates table- and
mapper-specific binds based on a passed
in expression which is an insert()/update()/delete()
construct. [ticket:1054]
- Session.merge() now properly overwrites a many-to-one or
uselist=False attribute to None if the attribute
is also None in the given object to be merged.
- Fixed a needless select which would occur when merging
transient objects that contained a null primary key
identifier. [ticket:1618]
- Mutable collection passed to the "extension" attribute
of relation(), column_property() etc. will not be mutated
or shared among multiple instrumentation calls, preventing
duplicate extensions, such as backref populators,
from being inserted into the list.
[ticket:1585]
- Fixed the call to get_committed_value() on CompositeProperty.
[ticket:1504]
- Fixed bug where Query would crash if a join() with no clear
"left" side were called when a non-mapped column entity
appeared in the columns list. [ticket:1602]
- Fixed bug whereby composite columns wouldn't load properly
when configured on a joined-table subclass, introduced in
version 0.5.6 as a result of the fix for [ticket:1480].
[ticket:1616] thx to Scott Torborg.
- The "use get" behavior of many-to-one relations, i.e. that a
lazy load will fallback to the possibly cached query.get()
value, now works across join conditions where the two compared
types are not exactly the same class, but share the same
"affinity" - i.e. Integer and SmallInteger. Also allows
combinations of reflected and non-reflected types to work
with 0.5 style type reflection, such as PGText/Text (note 0.6
reflects types as their generic versions). [ticket:1556]
- Fixed bug in query.update() when passing Cls.attribute
as keys in the value dict and using synchronize_session='expire'
('fetch' in 0.6). [ticket:1436]
- sql
- Fixed bug in two-phase transaction whereby commit() method
didn't set the full state which allows subsequent close()
call to succeed. [ticket:1603]
- Fixed the "numeric" paramstyle, which apparently is the
default paramstyle used by Informixdb.
- Repeat expressions in the columns clause of a select
are deduped based on the identity of each clause element,
not the actual string. This allows positional
elements to render correctly even if they all render
identically, such as "qmark" style bind parameters.
[ticket:1574]
- The cursor associated with connection pool connections
(i.e. _CursorFairy) now proxies `__iter__()` to the
underlying cursor correctly. [ticket:1632]
- types now support an "affinity comparison" operation, i.e.
that an Integer/SmallInteger are "compatible", or
a Text/String, PickleType/Binary, etc. Part of
[ticket:1556].
- Fixed bug preventing alias() of an alias() from being
cloned or adapted (occurs frequently in ORM operations).
[ticket:1641]
- sqlite
- sqlite dialect properly generates CREATE INDEX for a table
that is in an alternate schema. [ticket:1439]
- postgresql
- Added support for reflecting the DOUBLE PRECISION type,
via a new postgres.PGDoublePrecision object.
This is postgresql.DOUBLE_PRECISION in 0.6.
[ticket:1085]
- Added support for reflecting the INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND syntaxes of the INTERVAL
type. [ticket:460]
- Corrected the "has_sequence" query to take current schema,
or explicit sequence-stated schema, into account.
[ticket:1576]
- Fixed the behavior of extract() to apply operator
precedence rules to the "::" operator when applying
the "timestamp" cast - ensures proper parenthesization.
[ticket:1611]
- mssql
- Changed the name of TrustedConnection to
Trusted_Connection when constructing pyodbc connect
arguments [ticket:1561]
- oracle
- The "table_names" dialect function, used by MetaData
.reflect(), omits "index overflow tables", a system
table generated by Oracle when "index only tables"
with overflow are used. These tables aren't accessible
via SQL and can't be reflected. [ticket:1637]
- ext
- A column can be added to a joined-table declarative
superclass after the class has been constructed
(i.e. via class-level attribute assignment), and
the column will be propagated down to
subclasses. [ticket:1570] This is the reverse
situation as that of [ticket:1523], fixed in 0.5.6.
- Fixed a slight inaccuracy in the sharding example.
Comparing equivalence of columns in the ORM is best
accomplished using col1.shares_lineage(col2).
[ticket:1491]
- Removed unused `load()` method from ShardedQuery.
[ticket:1606]

Update SQLalchemy to version 0.6.0.
Changes since 0.5.6:
0.6.0
=====
- orm
- Unit of work internals have been rewritten. Units of work
with large numbers of objects interdependent objects
can now be flushed without recursion overflows
as there is no longer reliance upon recursive calls
[ticket:1081]. The number of internal structures now stays
constant for a particular session state, regardless of
how many relationships are present on mappings. The flow
of events now corresponds to a linear list of steps,
generated by the mappers and relationships based on actual
work to be done, filtered through a single topological sort
for correct ordering. Flush actions are assembled using
far fewer steps and less memory. [ticket:1742]
- Along with the UOW rewrite, this also removes an issue
introduced in 0.6beta3 regarding topological cycle detection
for units of work with long dependency cycles. We now use
an algorithm written by Guido (thanks Guido!).
- one-to-many relationships now maintain a list of positive
parent-child associations within the flush, preventing
previous parents marked as deleted from cascading a
delete or NULL foreign key set on those child objects,
despite the end-user not removing the child from the old
association. [ticket:1764]
- A collection lazy load will switch off default
eagerloading on the reverse many-to-one side, since
that loading is by definition unnecessary. [ticket:1495]
- Session.refresh() now does an equivalent expire()
on the given instance first, so that the "refresh-expire"
cascade is propagated. Previously, refresh() was
not affected in any way by the presence of "refresh-expire"
cascade. This is a change in behavior versus that
of 0.6beta2, where the "lockmode" flag passed to refresh()
would cause a version check to occur. Since the instance
is first expired, refresh() always upgrades the object
to the most recent version.
- The 'refresh-expire' cascade, when reaching a pending object,
will expunge the object if the cascade also includes
"delete-orphan", or will simply detach it otherwise.
[ticket:1754]
- id(obj) is no longer used internally within topological.py,
as the sorting functions now require hashable objects
only. [ticket:1756]
- The ORM will set the docstring of all generated descriptors
to None by default. This can be overridden using 'doc'
(or if using Sphinx, attribute docstrings work too).
- Added kw argument 'doc' to all mapper property callables
as well as Column(). Will assemble the string 'doc' as
the '__doc__' attribute on the descriptor.
- Usage of version_id_col on a backend that supports
cursor.rowcount for execute() but not executemany() now works
when a delete is issued (already worked for saves, since those
don't use executemany()). For a backend that doesn't support
cursor.rowcount at all, a warning is emitted the same
as with saves. [ticket:1761]
- The ORM now short-term caches the "compiled" form of
insert() and update() constructs when flushing lists of
objects of all the same class, thereby avoiding redundant
compilation per individual INSERT/UPDATE within an
individual flush() call.
- internal getattr(), setattr(), getcommitted() methods
on ColumnProperty, CompositeProperty, RelationshipProperty
have been underscored (i.e. are private), signature has
changed.
- engines
- The C extension now also works with DBAPIs which use custom
sequences as row (and not only tuples). [ticket:1757]
- sql
- Restored some bind-labeling logic from 0.5 which ensures
that tables with column names that overlap another column
of the form "<tablename>_<columnname>" won't produce
errors if column._label is used as a bind name during
an UPDATE. Test coverage which wasn't present in 0.5
has been added. [ticket:1755]
- somejoin.select(fold_equivalents=True) is no longer
deprecated, and will eventually be rolled into a more
comprehensive version of the feature for [ticket:1729].
- the Numeric type raises an *enormous* warning when expected
to convert floats to Decimal from a DBAPI that returns floats.
This includes SQLite, Sybase, MS-SQL. [ticket:1759]
- Fixed an error in expression typing which caused an endless
loop for expressions with two NULL types.
- Fixed bug in execution_options() feature whereby the existing
Transaction and other state information from the parent
connection would not be propagated to the sub-connection.
- Added new 'compiled_cache' execution option. A dictionary
where Compiled objects will be cached when the Connection
compiles a clause expression into a dialect- and parameter-
specific Compiled object. It is the user's responsibility to
manage the size of this dictionary, which will have keys
corresponding to the dialect, clause element, the column
names within the VALUES or SET clause of an INSERT or UPDATE,
as well as the "batch" mode for an INSERT or UPDATE statement.
- Added get_pk_constraint() to reflection.Inspector, similar
to get_primary_keys() except returns a dict that includes the
name of the constraint, for supported backends (PG so far).
[ticket:1769]
- Table.create() and Table.drop() no longer apply metadata-
level create/drop events. [ticket:1771]
- ext
- the compiler extension now allows @compiles decorators
on base classes that extend to child classes, @compiles
decorators on child classes that aren't broken by a
@compiles decorator on the base class.
- Declarative will raise an informative error message
if a non-mapped class attribute is referenced in the
string-based relationship() arguments.
- Further reworked the "mixin" logic in declarative to
additionally allow __mapper_args__ as a @classproperty
on a mixin, such as to dynamically assign polymorphic_identity.
- postgresql
- Postgresql now reflects sequence names associated with
SERIAL columns correctly, after the name of of the sequence
has been changed. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the patch.
[ticket:1071]
- Repaired missing import in psycopg2._PGNumeric type when
unknown numeric is received.
- psycopg2/pg8000 dialects now aware of REAL[], FLOAT[],
DOUBLE_PRECISION[], NUMERIC[] return types without
raising an exception.
- Postgresql reflects the name of primary key constraints,
if one exists. [ticket:1769]
- oracle
- Now using cx_oracle output converters so that the
DBAPI returns natively the kinds of values we prefer:
- NUMBER values with positive precision + scale convert
to cx_oracle.STRING and then to Decimal. This
allows perfect precision for the Numeric type when
using cx_oracle. [ticket:1759]
- STRING/FIXED_CHAR now convert to unicode natively.
SQLAlchemy's String types then don't need to
apply any kind of conversions.
- firebird
- The functionality of result.rowcount can be disabled on a
per-engine basis by setting 'enable_rowcount=False'
on create_engine(). Normally, cursor.rowcount is called
after any UPDATE or DELETE statement unconditionally,
because the cursor is then closed and Firebird requires
an open cursor in order to get a rowcount. This
call is slightly expensive however so it can be disabled.
To re-enable on a per-execution basis, the
'enable_rowcount=True' execution option may be used.
- examples
- Updated attribute_shard.py example to use a more robust
method of searching a Query for binary expressions which
compare columns against literal values.
0.6beta3
========
- orm
- Major feature: Added new "subquery" loading capability to
relationship(). This is an eager loading option which
generates a second SELECT for each collection represented
in a query, across all parents at once. The query
re-issues the original end-user query wrapped in a subquery,
applies joins out to the target collection, and loads
all those collections fully in one result, similar to
"joined" eager loading but using all inner joins and not
re-fetching full parent rows repeatedly (as most DBAPIs seem
to do, even if columns are skipped). Subquery loading is
available at mapper config level using "lazy='subquery'" and
at the query options level using "subqueryload(props..)",
"subqueryload_all(props...)". [ticket:1675]
- To accomodate the fact that there are now two kinds of eager
loading available, the new names for eagerload() and
eagerload_all() are joinedload() and joinedload_all(). The
old names will remain as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- The "lazy" flag on the relationship() function now accepts
a string argument for all kinds of loading: "select", "joined",
"subquery", "noload" and "dynamic", where the default is now
"select". The old values of True/
False/None still retain their usual meanings and will remain
as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- Added with_hint() method to Query() construct. This calls
directly down to select().with_hint() and also accepts
entities as well as tables and aliases. See with_hint() in the
SQL section below. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug in Query whereby calling q.join(prop).from_self(...).
join(prop) would fail to render the second join outside the
subquery, when joining on the same criterion as was on the
inside.
- Fixed bug in Query whereby the usage of aliased() constructs
would fail if the underlying table (but not the actual alias)
were referenced inside the subquery generated by
q.from_self() or q.select_from().
- Fixed bug which affected all eagerload() and similar options
such that "remote" eager loads, i.e. eagerloads off of a lazy
load such as query(A).options(eagerload(A.b, B.c))
wouldn't eagerload anything, but using eagerload("b.c") would
work fine.
- Query gains an add_columns(*columns) method which is a multi-
version of add_column(col). add_column(col) is future
deprecated.
- Query.join() will detect if the end result will be
"FROM A JOIN A", and will raise an error if so.
- Query.join(Cls.propname, from_joinpoint=True) will check more
carefully that "Cls" is compatible with the current joinpoint,
and act the same way as Query.join("propname", from_joinpoint=True)
in that regard.
- sql
- Added with_hint() method to select() construct. Specify
a table/alias, hint text, and optional dialect name, and
"hints" will be rendered in the appropriate place in the
statement. Works for Oracle, Sybase, MySQL. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug introduced in 0.6beta2 where column labels would
render inside of column expressions already assigned a label.
[ticket:1747]
- postgresql
- The psycopg2 dialect will log NOTICE messages via the
"sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql" logger name.
[ticket:877]
- the TIME and TIMESTAMP types are now availble from the
postgresql dialect directly, which add the PG-specific
argument 'precision' to both. 'precision' and
'timezone' are correctly reflected for both TIME and
TIMEZONE types. [ticket:997]
- mysql
- No longer guessing that TINYINT(1) should be BOOLEAN
when reflecting - TINYINT(1) is returned. Use Boolean/
BOOLEAN in table definition to get boolean conversion
behavior. [ticket:1752]
- oracle
- The Oracle dialect will issue VARCHAR type definitions
using character counts, i.e. VARCHAR2(50 CHAR), so that
the column is sized in terms of characters and not bytes.
Column reflection of character types will also use
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.CHAR_LENGTH instead of
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.DATA_LENGTH. Both of these behaviors take
effect when the server version is 9 or higher - for
version 8, the old behaviors are used. [ticket:1744]
- declarative
- Using a mixin won't break if the mixin implements an
unpredictable __getattribute__(), i.e. Zope interfaces.
[ticket:1746]
- Using @classdecorator and similar on mixins to define
__tablename__, __table_args__, etc. now works if
the method references attributes on the ultimate
subclass. [ticket:1749]
- relationships and columns with foreign keys aren't
allowed on declarative mixins, sorry. [ticket:1751]
- ext
- The sqlalchemy.orm.shard module now becomes an extension,
sqlalchemy.ext.horizontal_shard. The old import
works with a deprecation warning.
0.6beta2
========
- py3k
- Improved the installation/test setup regarding Python 3,
now that Distribute runs on Py3k. distribute_setup.py
is now included. See README.py3k for Python 3 installation/
testing instructions.
- orm
- The official name for the relation() function is now
relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational
algebra term. relation() however will remain available
in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
- Added "version_id_generator" argument to Mapper, this is a
callable that, given the current value of the "version_id_col",
returns the next version number. Can be used for alternate
versioning schemes such as uuid, timestamps. [ticket:1692]
- added "lockmode" kw argument to Session.refresh(), will
pass through the string value to Query the same as
in with_lockmode(), will also do version check for a
version_id_col-enabled mapping.
- Fixed bug whereby calling query(A).join(A.bs).add_entity(B)
in a joined inheritance scenario would double-add B as a
target and produce an invalid query. [ticket:1188]
- Fixed bug in session.rollback() which involved not removing
formerly "pending" objects from the session before
re-integrating "deleted" objects, typically occured with
natural primary keys. If there was a primary key conflict
between them, the attach of the deleted would fail
internally. The formerly "pending" objects are now expunged
first. [ticket:1674]
- Removed a lot of logging that nobody really cares about,
logging that remains will respond to live changes in the
log level. No significant overhead is added. [ticket:1719]
- Fixed bug in session.merge() which prevented dict-like
collections from merging.
- session.merge() works with relations that specifically
don't include "merge" in their cascade options - the target
is ignored completely.
- session.merge() will not expire existing scalar attributes
on an existing target if the target has a value for that
attribute, even if the incoming merged doesn't have
a value for the attribute. This prevents unnecessary loads
on existing items. Will still mark the attr as expired
if the destination doesn't have the attr, though, which
fulfills some contracts of deferred cols. [ticket:1681]
- The "allow_null_pks" flag is now called "allow_partial_pks",
defaults to True, acts like it did in 0.5 again. Except,
it also is implemented within merge() such that a SELECT
won't be issued for an incoming instance with partially
NULL primary key if the flag is False. [ticket:1680]
- Fixed bug in 0.6-reworked "many-to-one" optimizations
such that a many-to-one that is against a non-primary key
column on the remote table (i.e. foreign key against a
UNIQUE column) will pull the "old" value in from the
database during a change, since if it's in the session
we will need it for proper history/backref accounting,
and we can't pull from the local identity map on a
non-primary key column. [ticket:1737]
- fixed internal error which would occur if calling has()
or similar complex expression on a single-table inheritance
relation(). [ticket:1731]
- query.one() no longer applies LIMIT to the query, this to
ensure that it fully counts all object identities present
in the result, even in the case where joins may conceal
multiple identities for two or more rows. As a bonus,
one() can now also be called with a query that issued
from_statement() to start with since it no longer modifies
the query. [ticket:1688]
- query.get() now returns None if queried for an identifier
that is present in the identity map with a different class
than the one requested, i.e. when using polymorphic loading.
[ticket:1727]
- A major fix in query.join(), when the "on" clause is an
attribute of an aliased() construct, but there is already
an existing join made out to a compatible target, query properly
joins to the right aliased() construct instead of sticking
onto the right side of the existing join. [ticket:1706]
- Slight improvement to the fix for [ticket:1362] to not issue
needless updates of the primary key column during a so-called
"row switch" operation, i.e. add + delete of two objects
with the same PK.
- Now uses sqlalchemy.orm.exc.DetachedInstanceError when an
attribute load or refresh action fails due to object
being detached from any Session. UnboundExecutionError
is specific to engines bound to sessions and statements.
- Query called in the context of an expression will render
disambiguating labels in all cases. Note that this does
not apply to the existing .statement and .subquery()
accessor/method, which still honors the .with_labels()
setting that defaults to False.
- Query.union() retains disambiguating labels within the
returned statement, thus avoiding various SQL composition
errors which can result from column name conflicts.
[ticket:1676]
- Fixed bug in attribute history that inadvertently invoked
__eq__ on mapped instances.
- Some internal streamlining of object loading grants a
small speedup for large results, estimates are around
10-15%. Gave the "state" internals a good solid
cleanup with less complexity, datamembers,
method calls, blank dictionary creates.
- Documentation clarification for query.delete()
[ticket:1689]
- Fixed cascade bug in many-to-one relation() when attribute
was set to None, introduced in r6711 (cascade deleted
items into session during add()).
- Calling query.order_by() or query.distinct() before calling
query.select_from(), query.with_polymorphic(), or
query.from_statement() raises an exception now instead of
silently dropping those criterion. [ticket:1736]
- query.scalar() now raises an exception if more than one
row is returned. All other behavior remains the same.
[ticket:1735]
- Fixed bug which caused "row switch" logic, that is an
INSERT and DELETE replaced by an UPDATE, to fail when
version_id_col was in use. [ticket:1692]
- sql
- join() will now simulate a NATURAL JOIN by default. Meaning,
if the left side is a join, it will attempt to join the right
side to the rightmost side of the left first, and not raise
any exceptions about ambiguous join conditions if successful
even if there are further join targets across the rest of
the left. [ticket:1714]
- The most common result processors conversion function were
moved to the new "processors" module. Dialect authors are
encouraged to use those functions whenever they correspond
to their needs instead of implementing custom ones.
- SchemaType and subclasses Boolean, Enum are now serializable,
including their ddl listener and other event callables.
[ticket:1694] [ticket:1698]
- Some platforms will now interpret certain literal values
as non-bind parameters, rendered literally into the SQL
statement. This to support strict SQL-92 rules that are
enforced by some platforms including MS-SQL and Sybase.
In this model, bind parameters aren't allowed in the
columns clause of a SELECT, nor are certain ambiguous
expressions like "?=?". When this mode is enabled, the base
compiler will render the binds as inline literals, but only across
strings and numeric values. Other types such as dates
will raise an error, unless the dialect subclass defines
a literal rendering function for those. The bind parameter
must have an embedded literal value already or an error
is raised (i.e. won't work with straight bindparam('x')).
Dialects can also expand upon the areas where binds are not
accepted, such as within argument lists of functions
(which don't work on MS-SQL when native SQL binding is used).
- Added "unicode_errors" parameter to String, Unicode, etc.
Behaves like the 'errors' keyword argument to
the standard library's string.decode() functions. This flag
requires that `convert_unicode` is set to `"force"` - otherwise,
SQLAlchemy is not guaranteed to handle the task of unicode
conversion. Note that this flag adds significant performance
overhead to row-fetching operations for backends that already
return unicode objects natively (which most DBAPIs do). This
flag should only be used as an absolute last resort for reading
strings from a column with varied or corrupted encodings,
which only applies to databases that accept invalid encodings
in the first place (i.e. MySQL. *not* PG, Sqlite, etc.)
- Added math negation operator support, -x.
- FunctionElement subclasses are now directly executable the
same way any func.foo() construct is, with automatic
SELECT being applied when passed to execute().
- The "type" and "bind" keyword arguments of a func.foo()
construct are now local to "func." constructs and are
not part of the FunctionElement base class, allowing
a "type" to be handled in a custom constructor or
class-level variable.
- Restored the keys() method to ResultProxy.
- The type/expression system now does a more complete job
of determining the return type from an expression
as well as the adaptation of the Python operator into
a SQL operator, based on the full left/right/operator
of the given expression. In particular
the date/time/interval system created for Postgresql
EXTRACT in [ticket:1647] has now been generalized into
the type system. The previous behavior which often
occured of an expression "column + literal" forcing
the type of "literal" to be the same as that of "column"
will now usually not occur - the type of
"literal" is first derived from the Python type of the
literal, assuming standard native Python types + date
types, before falling back to that of the known type
on the other side of the expression. If the
"fallback" type is compatible (i.e. CHAR from String),
the literal side will use that. TypeDecorator
types override this by default to coerce the "literal"
side unconditionally, which can be changed by implementing
the coerce_compared_value() method. Also part of
[ticket:1683].
- Made sqlalchemy.sql.expressions.Executable part of public
API, used for any expression construct that can be sent to
execute(). FunctionElement now inherits Executable so that
it gains execution_options(), which are also propagated
to the select() that's generated within execute().
Executable in turn subclasses _Generative which marks
any ClauseElement that supports the @_generative
decorator - these may also become "public" for the benefit
of the compiler extension at some point.
- A change to the solution for [ticket:1579] - an end-user
defined bind parameter name that directly conflicts with
a column-named bind generated directly from the SET or
VALUES clause of an update/insert generates a compile error.
This reduces call counts and eliminates some cases where
undesirable name conflicts could still occur.
- Column() requires a type if it has no foreign keys (this is
not new). An error is now raised if a Column() has no type
and no foreign keys. [ticket:1705]
- the "scale" argument of the Numeric() type is honored when
coercing a returned floating point value into a string
on its way to Decimal - this allows accuracy to function
on SQLite, MySQL. [ticket:1717]
- the copy() method of Column now copies over uninitialized
"on table attach" events. Helps with the new declarative
"mixin" capability.
- engines
- Added an optional C extension to speed up the sql layer by
reimplementing RowProxy and the most common result processors.
The actual speedups will depend heavily on your DBAPI and
the mix of datatypes used in your tables, and can vary from
a 30% improvement to more than 200%. It also provides a modest
(~15-20%) indirect improvement to ORM speed for large queries.
Note that it is *not* built/installed by default.
See README for installation instructions.
- the execution sequence pulls all rowcount/last inserted ID
info from the cursor before commit() is called on the
DBAPI connection in an "autocommit" scenario. This helps
mxodbc with rowcount and is probably a good idea overall.
- Opened up logging a bit such that isEnabledFor() is called
more often, so that changes to the log level for engine/pool
will be reflected on next connect. This adds a small
amount of method call overhead. It's negligible and will make
life a lot easier for all those situations when logging
just happens to be configured after create_engine() is called.
[ticket:1719]
- The assert_unicode flag is deprecated. SQLAlchemy will raise
a warning in all cases where it is asked to encode a non-unicode
Python string, as well as when a Unicode or UnicodeType type
is explicitly passed a bytestring. The String type will do nothing
for DBAPIs that already accept Python unicode objects.
- Bind parameters are sent as a tuple instead of a list. Some
backend drivers will not accept bind parameters as a list.
- threadlocal engine wasn't properly closing the connection
upon close() - fixed that.
- Transaction object doesn't rollback or commit if it isn't
"active", allows more accurate nesting of begin/rollback/commit.
- Python unicode objects as binds result in the Unicode type,
not string, thus eliminating a certain class of unicode errors
on drivers that don't support unicode binds.
- Added "logging_name" argument to create_engine(), Pool() constructor
as well as "pool_logging_name" argument to create_engine() which
filters down to that of Pool. Issues the given string name
within the "name" field of logging messages instead of the default
hex identifier string. [ticket:1555]
- The visit_pool() method of Dialect is removed, and replaced with
on_connect(). This method returns a callable which receives
the raw DBAPI connection after each one is created. The callable
is assembled into a first_connect/connect pool listener by the
connection strategy if non-None. Provides a simpler interface
for dialects.
- StaticPool now initializes, disposes and recreates without
opening a new connection - the connection is only opened when
first requested. dispose() also works on AssertionPool now.
[ticket:1728]
- metadata
- Added the ability to strip schema information when using
"tometadata" by passing "schema=None" as an argument. If schema
is not specified then the table's schema is retained.
[ticket: 1673]
- declarative
- DeclarativeMeta exclusively uses cls.__dict__ (not dict_)
as the source of class information; _as_declarative exclusively
uses the dict_ passed to it as the source of class information
(which when using DeclarativeMeta is cls.__dict__). This should
in theory make it easier for custom metaclasses to modify
the state passed into _as_declarative.
- declarative now accepts mixin classes directly, as a means
to provide common functional and column-based elements on
all subclasses, as well as a means to propagate a fixed
set of __table_args__ or __mapper_args__ to subclasses.
For custom combinations of __table_args__/__mapper_args__ from
an inherited mixin to local, descriptors can now be used.
New details are all up in the Declarative documentation.
Thanks to Chris Withers for putting up with my strife
on this. [ticket:1707]
- the __mapper_args__ dict is copied when propagating to a subclass,
and is taken straight off the class __dict__ to avoid any
propagation from the parent. mapper inheritance already
propagates the things you want from the parent mapper.
[ticket:1393]
- An exception is raised when a single-table subclass specifies
a column that is already present on the base class.
[ticket:1732]
- mysql
- Fixed reflection bug whereby when COLLATE was present,
nullable flag and server defaults would not be reflected.
[ticket:1655]
- Fixed reflection of TINYINT(1) "boolean" columns defined with
integer flags like UNSIGNED.
- Further fixes for the mysql-connector dialect. [ticket:1668]
- Composite PK table on InnoDB where the "autoincrement" column
isn't first will emit an explicit "KEY" phrase within
CREATE TABLE thereby avoiding errors, [ticket:1496]
- Added reflection/create table support for a wide range
of MySQL keywords. [ticket:1634]
- Fixed import error which could occur reflecting tables on
a Windows host [ticket:1580]
- mssql
- Re-established support for the pymssql dialect.
- Various fixes for implicit returning, reflection,
etc. - the MS-SQL dialects aren't quite complete
in 0.6 yet (but are close)
- Added basic support for mxODBC [ticket:1710].
- Removed the text_as_varchar option.
- oracle
- "out" parameters require a type that is supported by
cx_oracle. An error will be raised if no cx_oracle
type can be found.
- Oracle 'DATE' now does not perform any result processing,
as the DATE type in Oracle stores full date+time objects,
that's what you'll get. Note that the generic types.Date
type *will* still call value.date() on incoming values,
however. When reflecting a table, the reflected type
will be 'DATE'.
- Added preliminary support for Oracle's WITH_UNICODE
mode. At the very least this establishes initial
support for cx_Oracle with Python 3. When WITH_UNICODE
mode is used in Python 2.xx, a large and scary warning
is emitted asking that the user seriously consider
the usage of this difficult mode of operation.
[ticket:1670]
- The except_() method now renders as MINUS on Oracle,
which is more or less equivalent on that platform.
[ticket:1712]
- Added support for rendering and reflecting
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, i.e. TIMESTAMP(timezone=True).
[ticket:651]
- Oracle INTERVAL type can now be reflected.
- sqlite
- Added "native_datetime=True" flag to create_engine().
This will cause the DATE and TIMESTAMP types to skip
all bind parameter and result row processing, under
the assumption that PARSE_DECLTYPES has been enabled
on the connection. Note that this is not entirely
compatible with the "func.current_date()", which
will be returned as a string. [ticket:1685]
- sybase
- Implemented a preliminary working dialect for Sybase,
with sub-implementations for Python-Sybase as well
as Pyodbc. Handles table
creates/drops and basic round trip functionality.
Does not yet include reflection or comprehensive
support of unicode/special expressions/etc.
- examples
- Changed the beaker cache example a bit to have a separate
RelationCache option for lazyload caching. This object
does a lookup among any number of potential attributes
more efficiently by grouping several into a common structure.
Both FromCache and RelationCache are simpler individually.
- documentation
- Major cleanup work in the docs to link class, function, and
method names into the API docs. [ticket:1700/1702/1703]
0.6beta1
========
- Major Release
- For the full set of feature descriptions, see
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/06Migration .
This document is a work in progress.
- All bug fixes and feature enhancements from the most
recent 0.5 version and below are also included within 0.6.
- Platforms targeted now include Python 2.4/2.5/2.6, Python
3.1, Jython2.5.
- orm
- Changes to query.update() and query.delete():
- the 'expire' option on query.update() has been renamed to
'fetch', thus matching that of query.delete().
'expire' is deprecated and issues a warning.
- query.update() and query.delete() both default to
'evaluate' for the synchronize strategy.
- the 'synchronize' strategy for update() and delete()
raises an error on failure. There is no implicit fallback
onto "fetch". Failure of evaluation is based on the
structure of criteria, so success/failure is deterministic
based on code structure.
- Enhancements on many-to-one relations:
- many-to-one relations now fire off a lazyload in fewer
cases, including in most cases will not fetch the "old"
value when a new one is replaced.
- many-to-one relation to a joined-table subclass now uses
get() for a simple load (known as the "use_get"
condition), i.e. Related->Sub(Base), without the need to
redefine the primaryjoin condition in terms of the base
table. [ticket:1186]
- specifying a foreign key with a declarative column, i.e.
ForeignKey(MyRelatedClass.id) doesn't break the "use_get"
condition from taking place [ticket:1492]
- relation(), eagerload(), and eagerload_all() now feature
an option called "innerjoin". Specify `True` or `False` to
control whether an eager join is constructed as an INNER
or OUTER join. Default is `False` as always. The mapper
options will override whichever setting is specified on
relation(). Should generally be set for many-to-one, not
nullable foreign key relations to allow improved join
performance. [ticket:1544]
- the behavior of eagerloading such that the main query is
wrapped in a subquery when LIMIT/OFFSET are present now
makes an exception for the case when all eager loads are
many-to-one joins. In those cases, the eager joins are
against the parent table directly along with the
limit/offset without the extra overhead of a subquery,
since a many-to-one join does not add rows to the result.
- Enhancements / Changes on Session.merge():
- the "dont_load=True" flag on Session.merge() is deprecated
and is now "load=False".
- Session.merge() is performance optimized, using half the
call counts for "load=False" mode compared to 0.5 and
significantly fewer SQL queries in the case of collections
for "load=True" mode.
- merge() will not issue a needless merge of attributes if the
given instance is the same instance which is already present.
- merge() now also merges the "options" associated with a given
state, i.e. those passed through query.options() which follow
along with an instance, such as options to eagerly- or
lazyily- load various attributes. This is essential for
the construction of highly integrated caching schemes. This
is a subtle behavioral change vs. 0.5.
- A bug was fixed regarding the serialization of the "loader
path" present on an instance's state, which is also necessary
when combining the usage of merge() with serialized state
and associated options that should be preserved.
- The all new merge() is showcased in a new comprehensive
example of how to integrate Beaker with SQLAlchemy. See
the notes in the "examples" note below.
- Primary key values can now be changed on a joined-table inheritance
object, and ON UPDATE CASCADE will be taken into account when
the flush happens. Set the new "passive_updates" flag to False
on mapper() when using SQLite or MySQL/MyISAM. [ticket:1362]
- flush() now detects when a primary key column was updated by
an ON UPDATE CASCADE operation from another primary key, and
can then locate the row for a subsequent UPDATE on the new PK
value. This occurs when a relation() is there to establish
the relationship as well as passive_updates=True. [ticket:1671]
- the "save-update" cascade will now cascade the pending *removed*
values from a scalar or collection attribute into the new session
during an add() operation. This so that the flush() operation
will also delete or modify rows of those disconnected items.
- Using a "dynamic" loader with a "secondary" table now produces
a query where the "secondary" table is *not* aliased. This
allows the secondary Table object to be used in the "order_by"
attribute of the relation(), and also allows it to be used
in filter criterion against the dynamic relation.
[ticket:1531]
- relation() with uselist=False will emit a warning when
an eager or lazy load locates more than one valid value for
the row. This may be due to primaryjoin/secondaryjoin
conditions which aren't appropriate for an eager LEFT OUTER
JOIN or for other conditions. [ticket:1643]
- an explicit check occurs when a synonym() is used with
map_column=True, when a ColumnProperty (deferred or otherwise)
exists separately in the properties dictionary sent to mapper
with the same keyname. Instead of silently replacing
the existing property (and possible options on that property),
an error is raised. [ticket:1633]
- a "dynamic" loader sets up its query criterion at construction
time so that the actual query is returned from non-cloning
accessors like "statement".
- the "named tuple" objects returned when iterating a
Query() are now pickleable.
- mapping to a select() construct now requires that you
make an alias() out of it distinctly. This to eliminate
confusion over such issues as [ticket:1542]
- query.join() has been reworked to provide more consistent
behavior and more flexibility (includes [ticket:1537])
- query.select_from() accepts multiple clauses to produce
multiple comma separated entries within the FROM clause.
Useful when selecting from multiple-homed join() clauses.
- query.select_from() also accepts mapped classes, aliased()
constructs, and mappers as arguments. In particular this
helps when querying from multiple joined-table classes to ensure
the full join gets rendered.
- query.get() can be used with a mapping to an outer join
where one or more of the primary key values are None.
[ticket:1135]
- query.from_self(), query.union(), others which do a
"SELECT * from (SELECT...)" type of nesting will do
a better job translating column expressions within the subquery
to the columns clause of the outer query. This is
potentially backwards incompatible with 0.5, in that this
may break queries with literal expressions that do not have labels
applied (i.e. literal('foo'), etc.)
[ticket:1568]
- relation primaryjoin and secondaryjoin now check that they
are column-expressions, not just clause elements. this prohibits
things like FROM expressions being placed there directly.
[ticket:1622]
- `expression.null()` is fully understood the same way
None is when comparing an object/collection-referencing
attribute within query.filter(), filter_by(), etc.
[ticket:1415]
- added "make_transient()" helper function which transforms a
persistent/ detached instance into a transient one (i.e.
deletes the instance_key and removes from any session.)
[ticket:1052]
- the allow_null_pks flag on mapper() is deprecated, and
the feature is turned "on" by default. This means that
a row which has a non-null value for any of its primary key
columns will be considered an identity. The need for this
scenario typically only occurs when mapping to an outer join.
[ticket:1339]
- the mechanics of "backref" have been fully merged into the
finer grained "back_populates" system, and take place entirely
within the _generate_backref() method of RelationProperty. This
makes the initialization procedure of RelationProperty
simpler and allows easier propagation of settings (such as from
subclasses of RelationProperty) into the reverse reference.
The internal BackRef() is gone and backref() returns a plain
tuple that is understood by RelationProperty.
- The version_id_col feature on mapper() will raise a warning when
used with dialects that don't support "rowcount" adequately.
[ticket:1569]
- added "execution_options()" to Query, to so options can be
passed to the resulting statement. Currently only
Select-statements have these options, and the only option
used is "stream_results", and the only dialect which knows
"stream_results" is psycopg2.
- Query.yield_per() will set the "stream_results" statement
option automatically.
- Deprecated or removed:
* 'allow_null_pks' flag on mapper() is deprecated. It does
nothing now and the setting is "on" in all cases.
* 'transactional' flag on sessionmaker() and others is
removed. Use 'autocommit=True' to indicate 'transactional=False'.
* 'polymorphic_fetch' argument on mapper() is removed.
Loading can be controlled using the 'with_polymorphic'
option.
* 'select_table' argument on mapper() is removed. Use
'with_polymorphic=("*", <some selectable>)' for this
functionality.
* 'proxy' argument on synonym() is removed. This flag
did nothing throughout 0.5, as the "proxy generation"
behavior is now automatic.
* Passing a single list of elements to eagerload(),
eagerload_all(), contains_eager(), lazyload(),
defer(), and undefer() instead of multiple positional
*args is deprecated.
* Passing a single list of elements to query.order_by(),
query.group_by(), query.join(), or query.outerjoin()
instead of multiple positional *args is deprecated.
* query.iterate_instances() is removed. Use query.instances().
* Query.query_from_parent() is removed. Use the
sqlalchemy.orm.with_parent() function to produce a
"parent" clause, or alternatively query.with_parent().
* query._from_self() is removed, use query.from_self()
instead.
* the "comparator" argument to composite() is removed.
Use "comparator_factory".
* RelationProperty._get_join() is removed.
* the 'echo_uow' flag on Session is removed. Use
logging on the "sqlalchemy.orm.unitofwork" name.
* session.clear() is removed. use session.expunge_all().
* session.save(), session.update(), session.save_or_update()
are removed. Use session.add() and session.add_all().
* the "objects" flag on session.flush() remains deprecated.
* the "dont_load=True" flag on session.merge() is deprecated
in favor of "load=False".
* ScopedSession.mapper remains deprecated. See the
usage recipe at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/SessionAwareMapper
* passing an InstanceState (internal SQLAlchemy state object) to
attributes.init_collection() or attributes.get_history() is
deprecated. These functions are public API and normally
expect a regular mapped object instance.
* the 'engine' parameter to declarative_base() is removed.
Use the 'bind' keyword argument.
- sql
- the "autocommit" flag on select() and text() as well
as select().autocommit() are deprecated - now call
.execution_options(autocommit=True) on either of those
constructs, also available directly on Connection and orm.Query.
- the autoincrement flag on column now indicates the column
which should be linked to cursor.lastrowid, if that method
is used. See the API docs for details.
- an executemany() now requires that all bound parameter
sets require that all keys are present which are
present in the first bound parameter set. The structure
and behavior of an insert/update statement is very much
determined by the first parameter set, including which
defaults are going to fire off, and a minimum of
guesswork is performed with all the rest so that performance
is not impacted. For this reason defaults would otherwise
silently "fail" for missing parameters, so this is now guarded
against. [ticket:1566]
- returning() support is native to insert(), update(),
delete(). Implementations of varying levels of
functionality exist for Postgresql, Firebird, MSSQL and
Oracle. returning() can be called explicitly with column
expressions which are then returned in the resultset,
usually via fetchone() or first().
insert() constructs will also use RETURNING implicitly to
get newly generated primary key values, if the database
version in use supports it (a version number check is
performed). This occurs if no end-user returning() was
specified.
- union(), intersect(), except() and other "compound" types
of statements have more consistent behavior w.r.t.
parenthesizing. Each compound element embedded within
another will now be grouped with parenthesis - previously,
the first compound element in the list would not be grouped,
as SQLite doesn't like a statement to start with
parenthesis. However, Postgresql in particular has
precedence rules regarding INTERSECT, and it is
more consistent for parenthesis to be applied equally
to all sub-elements. So now, the workaround for SQLite
is also what the workaround for PG was previously -
when nesting compound elements, the first one usually needs
".alias().select()" called on it to wrap it inside
of a subquery. [ticket:1665]
- insert() and update() constructs can now embed bindparam()
objects using names that match the keys of columns. These
bind parameters will circumvent the usual route to those
keys showing up in the VALUES or SET clause of the generated
SQL. [ticket:1579]
- the Binary type now returns data as a Python string
(or a "bytes" type in Python 3), instead of the built-
in "buffer" type. This allows symmetric round trips
of binary data. [ticket:1524]
- Added a tuple_() construct, allows sets of expressions
to be compared to another set, typically with IN against
composite primary keys or similar. Also accepts an
IN with multiple columns. The "scalar select can
have only one column" error message is removed - will
rely upon the database to report problems with
col mismatch.
- User-defined "default" and "onupdate" callables which
accept a context should now call upon
"context.current_parameters" to get at the dictionary
of bind parameters currently being processed. This
dict is available in the same way regardless of
single-execute or executemany-style statement execution.
- multi-part schema names, i.e. with dots such as
"dbo.master", are now rendered in select() labels
with underscores for dots, i.e. "dbo_master_table_column".
This is a "friendly" label that behaves better
in result sets. [ticket:1428]
- removed needless "counter" behavior with select()
labelnames that match a column name in the table,
i.e. generates "tablename_id" for "id", instead of
"tablename_id_1" in an attempt to avoid naming
conflicts, when the table has a column actually
named "tablename_id" - this is because
the labeling logic is always applied to all columns
so a naming conflict will never occur.
- calling expr.in_([]), i.e. with an empty list, emits a warning
before issuing the usual "expr != expr" clause. The
"expr != expr" can be very expensive, and it's preferred
that the user not issue in_() if the list is empty,
instead simply not querying, or modifying the criterion
as appropriate for more complex situations.
[ticket:1628]
- Added "execution_options()" to select()/text(), which set the
default options for the Connection. See the note in "engines".
- Deprecated or removed:
* "scalar" flag on select() is removed, use
select.as_scalar().
* "shortname" attribute on bindparam() is removed.
* postgres_returning, firebird_returning flags on
insert(), update(), delete() are deprecated, use
the new returning() method.
* fold_equivalents flag on join is deprecated (will remain
until [ticket:1131] is implemented)
- engines
- transaction isolation level may be specified with
create_engine(... isolation_level="..."); available on
postgresql and sqlite. [ticket:443]
- Connection has execution_options(), generative method
which accepts keywords that affect how the statement
is executed w.r.t. the DBAPI. Currently supports
"stream_results", causes psycopg2 to use a server
side cursor for that statement, as well as
"autocommit", which is the new location for the "autocommit"
option from select() and text(). select() and
text() also have .execution_options() as well as
ORM Query().
- fixed the import for entrypoint-driven dialects to
not rely upon silly tb_info trick to determine import
error status. [ticket:1630]
- added first() method to ResultProxy, returns first row and
closes result set immediately.
- RowProxy objects are now pickleable, i.e. the object returned
by result.fetchone(), result.fetchall() etc.
- RowProxy no longer has a close() method, as the row no longer
maintains a reference to the parent. Call close() on
the parent ResultProxy instead, or use autoclose.
- ResultProxy internals have been overhauled to greatly reduce
method call counts when fetching columns. Can provide a large
speed improvement (up to more than 100%) when fetching large
result sets. The improvement is larger when fetching columns
that have no type-level processing applied and when using
results as tuples (instead of as dictionaries). Many
thanks to Elixir's Gaëtan de Menten for this dramatic
improvement ! [ticket:1586]
- Databases which rely upon postfetch of "last inserted id"
to get at a generated sequence value (i.e. MySQL, MS-SQL)
now work correctly when there is a composite primary key
where the "autoincrement" column is not the first primary
key column in the table.
- the last_inserted_ids() method has been renamed to the
descriptor "inserted_primary_key".
- setting echo=False on create_engine() now sets the loglevel
to WARN instead of NOTSET. This so that logging can be
disabled for a particular engine even if logging
for "sqlalchemy.engine" is enabled overall. Note that the
default setting of "echo" is `None`. [ticket:1554]
- ConnectionProxy now has wrapper methods for all transaction
lifecycle events, including begin(), rollback(), commit()
begin_nested(), begin_prepared(), prepare(), release_savepoint(),
etc.
- Connection pool logging now uses both INFO and DEBUG
log levels for logging. INFO is for major events such
as invalidated connections, DEBUG for all the acquire/return
logging. `echo_pool` can be False, None, True or "debug"
the same way as `echo` works.
- All pyodbc-dialects now support extra pyodbc-specific
kw arguments 'ansi', 'unicode_results', 'autocommit'.
[ticket:1621]
- the "threadlocal" engine has been rewritten and simplified
and now supports SAVEPOINT operations.
- deprecated or removed
* result.last_inserted_ids() is deprecated. Use
result.inserted_primary_key
* dialect.get_default_schema_name(connection) is now
public via dialect.default_schema_name.
* the "connection" argument from engine.transaction() and
engine.run_callable() is removed - Connection itself
now has those methods. All four methods accept
*args and **kwargs which are passed to the given callable,
as well as the operating connection.
- schema
- the `__contains__()` method of `MetaData` now accepts
strings or `Table` objects as arguments. If given
a `Table`, the argument is converted to `table.key` first,
i.e. "[schemaname.]<tablename>" [ticket:1541]
- deprecated MetaData.connect() and
ThreadLocalMetaData.connect() have been removed - send
the "bind" attribute to bind a metadata.
- deprecated metadata.table_iterator() method removed (use
sorted_tables)
- deprecated PassiveDefault - use DefaultClause.
- the "metadata" argument is removed from DefaultGenerator
and subclasses, but remains locally present on Sequence,
which is a standalone construct in DDL.
- Removed public mutability from Index and Constraint
objects:
- ForeignKeyConstraint.append_element()
- Index.append_column()
- UniqueConstraint.append_column()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.add()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.remove()
These should be constructed declaratively (i.e. in one
construction).
- The "start" and "increment" attributes on Sequence now
generate "START WITH" and "INCREMENT BY" by default,
on Oracle and Postgresql. Firebird doesn't support
these keywords right now. [ticket:1545]
- UniqueConstraint, Index, PrimaryKeyConstraint all accept
lists of column names or column objects as arguments.
- Other removed things:
- Table.key (no idea what this was for)
- Table.primary_key is not assignable - use
table.append_constraint(PrimaryKeyConstraint(...))
- Column.bind (get via column.table.bind)
- Column.metadata (get via column.table.metadata)
- Column.sequence (use column.default)
- ForeignKey(constraint=some_parent) (is now private _constraint)
- The use_alter flag on ForeignKey is now a shortcut option
for operations that can be hand-constructed using the
DDL() event system. A side effect of this refactor is
that ForeignKeyConstraint objects with use_alter=True
will *not* be emitted on SQLite, which does not support
ALTER for foreign keys.
- ForeignKey and ForeignKeyConstraint objects now correctly
copy() all their public keyword arguments. [ticket:1605]
- Reflection/Inspection
- Table reflection has been expanded and generalized into
a new API called "sqlalchemy.engine.reflection.Inspector".
The Inspector object provides fine-grained information about
a wide variety of schema information, with room for expansion,
including table names, column names, view definitions, sequences,
indexes, etc.
- Views are now reflectable as ordinary Table objects. The same
Table constructor is used, with the caveat that "effective"
primary and foreign key constraints aren't part of the reflection
results; these have to be specified explicitly if desired.
- The existing autoload=True system now uses Inspector underneath
so that each dialect need only return "raw" data about tables
and other objects - Inspector is the single place that information
is compiled into Table objects so that consistency is at a maximum.
- DDL
- the DDL system has been greatly expanded. the DDL() class
now extends the more generic DDLElement(), which forms the basis
of many new constructs:
- CreateTable()
- DropTable()
- AddConstraint()
- DropConstraint()
- CreateIndex()
- DropIndex()
- CreateSequence()
- DropSequence()
These support "on" and "execute-at()" just like plain DDL()
does. User-defined DDLElement subclasses can be created and
linked to a compiler using the sqlalchemy.ext.compiler extension.
- The signature of the "on" callable passed to DDL() and
DDLElement() is revised as follows:
"ddl" - the DDLElement object itself.
"event" - the string event name.
"target" - previously "schema_item", the Table or
MetaData object triggering the event.
"connection" - the Connection object in use for the operation.
**kw - keyword arguments. In the case of MetaData before/after
create/drop, the list of Table objects for which
CREATE/DROP DDL is to be issued is passed as the kw
argument "tables". This is necessary for metadata-level
DDL that is dependent on the presence of specific tables.
- the "schema_item" attribute of DDL has been renamed to
"target".
- dialect refactor
- Dialect modules are now broken into database dialects
plus DBAPI implementations. Connect URLs are now
preferred to be specified using dialect+driver://...,
i.e. "mysql+mysqldb://scott:tiger@localhost/test". See
the 0.6 documentation for examples.
- the setuptools entrypoint for external dialects is now
called "sqlalchemy.dialects".
- the "owner" keyword argument is removed from Table. Use
"schema" to represent any namespaces to be prepended to
the table name.
- server_version_info becomes a static attribute.
- dialects receive an initialize() event on initial
connection to determine connection properties.
- dialects receive a visit_pool event have an opportunity
to establish pool listeners.
- cached TypeEngine classes are cached per-dialect class
instead of per-dialect.
- new UserDefinedType should be used as a base class for
new types, which preserves the 0.5 behavior of
get_col_spec().
- The result_processor() method of all type classes now
accepts a second argument "coltype", which is the DBAPI
type argument from cursor.description. This argument
can help some types decide on the most efficient processing
of result values.
- Deprecated Dialect.get_params() removed.
- Dialect.get_rowcount() has been renamed to a descriptor
"rowcount", and calls cursor.rowcount directly. Dialects
which need to hardwire a rowcount in for certain calls
should override the method to provide different behavior.
- DefaultRunner and subclasses have been removed. The job
of this object has been simplified and moved into
ExecutionContext. Dialects which support sequences should
add a `fire_sequence()` method to their execution context
implementation. [ticket:1566]
- Functions and operators generated by the compiler now use
(almost) regular dispatch functions of the form
"visit_<opname>" and "visit_<funcname>_fn" to provide
customed processing. This replaces the need to copy the
"functions" and "operators" dictionaries in compiler
subclasses with straightforward visitor methods, and also
allows compiler subclasses complete control over
rendering, as the full _Function or _BinaryExpression
object is passed in.
- postgresql
- New dialects: pg8000, zxjdbc, and pypostgresql
on py3k.
- The "postgres" dialect is now named "postgresql" !
Connection strings look like:
postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test
postgresql+pg8000://scott:tiger@localhost/test
The "postgres" name remains for backwards compatiblity
in the following ways:
- There is a "postgres.py" dummy dialect which
allows old URLs to work, i.e.
postgres://scott:tiger@localhost/test
- The "postgres" name can be imported from the old
"databases" module, i.e. "from
sqlalchemy.databases import postgres" as well as
"dialects", "from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgres
import base as pg", will send a deprecation
warning.
- Special expression arguments are now named
"postgresql_returning" and "postgresql_where", but
the older "postgres_returning" and
"postgres_where" names still work with a
deprecation warning.
- "postgresql_where" now accepts SQL expressions which
can also include literals, which will be quoted as needed.
- The psycopg2 dialect now uses psycopg2's "unicode extension"
on all new connections, which allows all String/Text/etc.
types to skip the need to post-process bytestrings into
unicode (an expensive step due to its volume). Other
dialects which return unicode natively (pg8000, zxjdbc)
also skip unicode post-processing.
- Added new ENUM type, which exists as a schema-level
construct and extends the generic Enum type. Automatically
associates itself with tables and their parent metadata
to issue the appropriate CREATE TYPE/DROP TYPE
commands as needed, supports unicode labels, supports
reflection. [ticket:1511]
- INTERVAL supports an optional "precision" argument
corresponding to the argument that PG accepts.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
psycopg2 can't handle a bind parameter name of
%(foobar)s however and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead
just to treat that one non-existent use case.
[ticket:1279]
- Inserting NULL into a primary key + foreign key column
will allow the "not null constraint" error to raise,
not an attempt to execute a nonexistent "col_id_seq"
sequence. [ticket:1516]
- autoincrement SELECT statements, i.e. those which
select from a procedure that modifies rows, now work
with server-side cursor mode (the named cursor isn't
used for such statements.)
- postgresql dialect can properly detect pg "devel" version
strings, i.e. "8.5devel" [ticket:1636]
- The psycopg2 now respects the statement option
"stream_results". This option overrides the connection setting
"server_side_cursors". If true, server side cursors will be
used for the statement. If false, they will not be used, even
if "server_side_cursors" is true on the
connection. [ticket:1619]
- mysql
- New dialects: oursql, a new native dialect,
MySQL Connector/Python, a native Python port of MySQLdb,
and of course zxjdbc on Jython.
- VARCHAR/NVARCHAR will not render without a length, raises
an error before passing to MySQL. Doesn't impact
CAST since VARCHAR is not allowed in MySQL CAST anyway,
the dialect renders CHAR/NCHAR in those cases.
- all the _detect_XXX() functions now run once underneath
dialect.initialize()
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
MySQLdb can't handle % signs in SQL when executemany() is used,
and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead just to treat that one
non-existent use case. [ticket:1279]
- the BINARY and MSBinary types now generate "BINARY" in all
cases. Omitting the "length" parameter will generate
"BINARY" with no length. Use BLOB to generate an unlengthed
binary column.
- the "quoting='quoted'" argument to MSEnum/ENUM is deprecated.
It's best to rely upon the automatic quoting.
- ENUM now subclasses the new generic Enum type, and also handles
unicode values implicitly, if the given labelnames are unicode
objects.
- a column of type TIMESTAMP now defaults to NULL if
"nullable=False" is not passed to Column(), and no default
is present. This is now consistent with all other types,
and in the case of TIMESTAMP explictly renders "NULL"
due to MySQL's "switching" of default nullability
for TIMESTAMP columns. [ticket:1539]
- oracle
- unit tests pass 100% with cx_oracle !
- support for cx_Oracle's "native unicode" mode which does
not require NLS_LANG to be set. Use the latest 5.0.2 or
later of cx_oracle.
- an NCLOB type is added to the base types.
- use_ansi=False won't leak into the FROM/WHERE clause of
a statement that's selecting from a subquery that also
uses JOIN/OUTERJOIN.
- added native INTERVAL type to the dialect. This supports
only the DAY TO SECOND interval type so far due to lack
of support in cx_oracle for YEAR TO MONTH. [ticket:1467]
- usage of the CHAR type results in cx_oracle's
FIXED_CHAR dbapi type being bound to statements.
- the Oracle dialect now features NUMBER which intends
to act justlike Oracle's NUMBER type. It is the primary
numeric type returned by table reflection and attempts
to return Decimal()/float/int based on the precision/scale
parameters. [ticket:885]
- func.char_length is a generic function for LENGTH
- ForeignKey() which includes onupdate=<value> will emit a
warning, not emit ON UPDATE CASCADE which is unsupported
by oracle
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- using types.BigInteger with Oracle will generate
NUMBER(19) [ticket:1125]
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- firebird
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- mssql
- MSSQL + Pyodbc + FreeTDS now works for the most part,
with possible exceptions regarding binary data as well as
unicode schema identifiers.
- the "has_window_funcs" flag is removed. LIMIT/OFFSET
usage will use ROW NUMBER as always, and if on an older
version of SQL Server, the operation fails. The behavior
is exactly the same except the error is raised by SQL
server instead of the dialect, and no flag setting is
required to enable it.
- the "auto_identity_insert" flag is removed. This feature
always takes effect when an INSERT statement overrides a
column that is known to have a sequence on it. As with
"has_window_funcs", if the underlying driver doesn't
support this, then you can't do this operation in any
case, so there's no point in having a flag.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- removed references to sequence which is no longer used.
implicit identities in mssql work the same as implicit
sequences on any other dialects. Explicit sequences are
enabled through the use of "default=Sequence()". See
the MSSQL dialect documentation for more information.
- sqlite
- DATE, TIME and DATETIME types can now take optional storage_format
and regexp argument. storage_format can be used to store those types
using a custom string format. regexp allows to use a custom regular
expression to match string values from the database.
- Time and DateTime types now use by a default a stricter regular
expression to match strings from the database. Use the regexp
argument if you are using data stored in a legacy format.
- __legacy_microseconds__ on SQLite Time and DateTime types is not
supported anymore. You should use the storage_format argument
instead.
- Date, Time and DateTime types are now stricter in what they accept as
bind parameters: Date type only accepts date objects (and datetime
ones, because they inherit from date), Time only accepts time
objects, and DateTime only accepts date and datetime objects.
- Table() supports a keyword argument "sqlite_autoincrement", which
applies the SQLite keyword "AUTOINCREMENT" to the single integer
primary key column when generating DDL. Will prevent generation of
a separate PRIMARY KEY constraint. [ticket:1016]
- new dialects
- postgresql+pg8000
- postgresql+pypostgresql (partial)
- postgresql+zxjdbc
- mysql+pyodbc
- mysql+zxjdbc
- types
- The construction of types within dialects has been totally
overhauled. Dialects now define publically available types
as UPPERCASE names exclusively, and internal implementation
types using underscore identifiers (i.e. are private).
The system by which types are expressed in SQL and DDL
has been moved to the compiler system. This has the
effect that there are much fewer type objects within
most dialects. A detailed document on this architecture
for dialect authors is in
lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/type_migration_guidelines.txt .
- Types no longer make any guesses as to default
parameters. In particular, Numeric, Float, NUMERIC,
FLOAT, DECIMAL don't generate any length or scale unless
specified.
- types.Binary is renamed to types.LargeBinary, it only
produces BLOB, BYTEA, or a similar "long binary" type.
New base BINARY and VARBINARY
types have been added to access these MySQL/MS-SQL specific
types in an agnostic way [ticket:1664].
- String/Text/Unicode types now skip the unicode() check
on each result column value if the dialect has
detected the DBAPI as returning Python unicode objects
natively. This check is issued on first connect
using "SELECT CAST 'some text' AS VARCHAR(10)" or
equivalent, then checking if the returned object
is a Python unicode. This allows vast performance
increases for native-unicode DBAPIs, including
pysqlite/sqlite3, psycopg2, and pg8000.
- Most types result processors have been checked for possible speed
improvements. Specifically, the following generic types have been
optimized, resulting in varying speed improvements:
Unicode, PickleType, Interval, TypeDecorator, Binary.
Also the following dbapi-specific implementations have been improved:
Time, Date and DateTime on Sqlite, ARRAY on Postgresql,
Time on MySQL, Numeric(as_decimal=False) on MySQL, oursql and
pypostgresql, DateTime on cx_oracle and LOB-based types on cx_oracle.
- Reflection of types now returns the exact UPPERCASE
type within types.py, or the UPPERCASE type within
the dialect itself if the type is not a standard SQL
type. This means reflection now returns more accurate
information about reflected types.
- Added a new Enum generic type. Enum is a schema-aware object
to support databases which require specific DDL in order to
use enum or equivalent; in the case of PG it handles the
details of `CREATE TYPE`, and on other databases without
native enum support will by generate VARCHAR + an inline CHECK
constraint to enforce the enum.
[ticket:1109] [ticket:1511]
- The Interval type includes a "native" flag which controls
if native INTERVAL types (postgresql + oracle) are selected
if available, or not. "day_precision" and "second_precision"
arguments are also added which propagate as appropriately
to these native types. Related to [ticket:1467].
- The Boolean type, when used on a backend that doesn't
have native boolean support, will generate a CHECK
constraint "col IN (0, 1)" along with the int/smallint-
based column type. This can be switched off if
desired with create_constraint=False.
Note that MySQL has no native boolean *or* CHECK constraint
support so this feature isn't available on that platform.
[ticket:1589]
- PickleType now uses == for comparison of values when
mutable=True, unless the "comparator" argument with a
comparsion function is specified to the type. Objects
being pickled will be compared based on identity (which
defeats the purpose of mutable=True) if __eq__() is not
overridden or a comparison function is not provided.
- The default "precision" and "scale" arguments of Numeric
and Float have been removed and now default to None.
NUMERIC and FLOAT will be rendered with no numeric
arguments by default unless these values are provided.
- AbstractType.get_search_list() is removed - the games
that was used for are no longer necessary.
- Added a generic BigInteger type, compiles to
BIGINT or NUMBER(19). [ticket:1125]
-ext
- sqlsoup has been overhauled to explicitly support an 0.5 style
session, using autocommit=False, autoflush=True. Default
behavior of SQLSoup now requires the usual usage of commit()
and rollback(), which have been added to its interface. An
explcit Session or scoped_session can be passed to the
constructor, allowing these arguments to be overridden.
- sqlsoup db.<sometable>.update() and delete() now call
query(cls).update() and delete(), respectively.
- sqlsoup now has execute() and connection(), which call upon
the Session methods of those names, ensuring that the bind is
in terms of the SqlSoup object's bind.
- sqlsoup objects no longer have the 'query' attribute - it's
not needed for sqlsoup's usage paradigm and it gets in the
way of a column that is actually named 'query'.
- The signature of the proxy_factory callable passed to
association_proxy is now (lazy_collection, creator,
value_attr, association_proxy), adding a fourth argument
that is the parent AssociationProxy argument. Allows
serializability and subclassing of the built in collections.
[ticket:1259]
- association_proxy now has basic comparator methods .any(),
.has(), .contains(), ==, !=, thanks to Scott Torborg.
[ticket:1372]
- examples
- The "query_cache" examples have been removed, and are replaced
with a fully comprehensive approach that combines the usage of
Beaker with SQLAlchemy. New query options are used to indicate
the caching characteristics of a particular Query, which
can also be invoked deep within an object graph when lazily
loading related objects. See /examples/beaker_caching/README.
0.5.9
=====
- sql
- Fixed erroneous self_group() call in expression package.
[ticket:1661]
0.5.8
=====
- sql
- The copy() method on Column now supports uninitialized,
unnamed Column objects. This allows easy creation of
declarative helpers which place common columns on multiple
subclasses.
- Default generators like Sequence() translate correctly
across a copy() operation.
- Sequence() and other DefaultGenerator objects are accepted
as the value for the "default" and "onupdate" keyword
arguments of Column, in addition to being accepted
positionally.
- Fixed a column arithmetic bug that affected column
correspondence for cloned selectables which contain
free-standing column expressions. This bug is
generally only noticeable when exercising newer
ORM behavior only availble in 0.6 via [ticket:1568],
but is more correct at the SQL expression level
as well. [ticket:1617]
- postgresql
- The extract() function, which was slightly improved in
0.5.7, needed a lot more work to generate the correct
typecast (the typecasts appear to be necessary in PG's
EXTRACT quite a lot of the time). The typecast is
now generated using a rule dictionary based
on PG's documentation for date/time/interval arithmetic.
It also accepts text() constructs again, which was broken
in 0.5.7. [ticket:1647]
- firebird
- Recognize more errors as disconnections. [ticket:1646]
0.5.7
=====
- orm
- contains_eager() now works with the automatically
generated subquery that results when you say
"query(Parent).join(Parent.somejoinedsubclass)", i.e.
when Parent joins to a joined-table-inheritance subclass.
Previously contains_eager() would erroneously add the
subclass table to the query separately producing a
cartesian product. An example is in the ticket
description. [ticket:1543]
- query.options() now only propagate to loaded objects
for potential further sub-loads only for options where
such behavior is relevant, keeping
various unserializable options like those generated
by contains_eager() out of individual instance states.
[ticket:1553]
- Session.execute() now locates table- and
mapper-specific binds based on a passed
in expression which is an insert()/update()/delete()
construct. [ticket:1054]
- Session.merge() now properly overwrites a many-to-one or
uselist=False attribute to None if the attribute
is also None in the given object to be merged.
- Fixed a needless select which would occur when merging
transient objects that contained a null primary key
identifier. [ticket:1618]
- Mutable collection passed to the "extension" attribute
of relation(), column_property() etc. will not be mutated
or shared among multiple instrumentation calls, preventing
duplicate extensions, such as backref populators,
from being inserted into the list.
[ticket:1585]
- Fixed the call to get_committed_value() on CompositeProperty.
[ticket:1504]
- Fixed bug where Query would crash if a join() with no clear
"left" side were called when a non-mapped column entity
appeared in the columns list. [ticket:1602]
- Fixed bug whereby composite columns wouldn't load properly
when configured on a joined-table subclass, introduced in
version 0.5.6 as a result of the fix for [ticket:1480].
[ticket:1616] thx to Scott Torborg.
- The "use get" behavior of many-to-one relations, i.e. that a
lazy load will fallback to the possibly cached query.get()
value, now works across join conditions where the two compared
types are not exactly the same class, but share the same
"affinity" - i.e. Integer and SmallInteger. Also allows
combinations of reflected and non-reflected types to work
with 0.5 style type reflection, such as PGText/Text (note 0.6
reflects types as their generic versions). [ticket:1556]
- Fixed bug in query.update() when passing Cls.attribute
as keys in the value dict and using synchronize_session='expire'
('fetch' in 0.6). [ticket:1436]
- sql
- Fixed bug in two-phase transaction whereby commit() method
didn't set the full state which allows subsequent close()
call to succeed. [ticket:1603]
- Fixed the "numeric" paramstyle, which apparently is the
default paramstyle used by Informixdb.
- Repeat expressions in the columns clause of a select
are deduped based on the identity of each clause element,
not the actual string. This allows positional
elements to render correctly even if they all render
identically, such as "qmark" style bind parameters.
[ticket:1574]
- The cursor associated with connection pool connections
(i.e. _CursorFairy) now proxies `__iter__()` to the
underlying cursor correctly. [ticket:1632]
- types now support an "affinity comparison" operation, i.e.
that an Integer/SmallInteger are "compatible", or
a Text/String, PickleType/Binary, etc. Part of
[ticket:1556].
- Fixed bug preventing alias() of an alias() from being
cloned or adapted (occurs frequently in ORM operations).
[ticket:1641]
- sqlite
- sqlite dialect properly generates CREATE INDEX for a table
that is in an alternate schema. [ticket:1439]
- postgresql
- Added support for reflecting the DOUBLE PRECISION type,
via a new postgres.PGDoublePrecision object.
This is postgresql.DOUBLE_PRECISION in 0.6.
[ticket:1085]
- Added support for reflecting the INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND syntaxes of the INTERVAL
type. [ticket:460]
- Corrected the "has_sequence" query to take current schema,
or explicit sequence-stated schema, into account.
[ticket:1576]
- Fixed the behavior of extract() to apply operator
precedence rules to the "::" operator when applying
the "timestamp" cast - ensures proper parenthesization.
[ticket:1611]
- mssql
- Changed the name of TrustedConnection to
Trusted_Connection when constructing pyodbc connect
arguments [ticket:1561]
- oracle
- The "table_names" dialect function, used by MetaData
.reflect(), omits "index overflow tables", a system
table generated by Oracle when "index only tables"
with overflow are used. These tables aren't accessible
via SQL and can't be reflected. [ticket:1637]
- ext
- A column can be added to a joined-table declarative
superclass after the class has been constructed
(i.e. via class-level attribute assignment), and
the column will be propagated down to
subclasses. [ticket:1570] This is the reverse
situation as that of [ticket:1523], fixed in 0.5.6.
- Fixed a slight inaccuracy in the sharding example.
Comparing equivalence of columns in the ORM is best
accomplished using col1.shares_lineage(col2).
[ticket:1491]
- Removed unused `load()` method from ShardedQuery.
[ticket:1606]

Update py-sqlalchemy to version 0.8.2.
Changes since 0.7.10:
- Compatibility for Python 2.4 is being dropped.
- The primaryjoin argument is no longer needed when constructing a
relationship() against a class that has multiple foreign key paths to the
target.
- Relationships against self-referential, composite foreign keys where a
column points to itself are now supported.
- Previously difficult custom join conditions, like those involving
functions and/or CASTing of types, will now function as expected in most
cases.
- New Class/Object Inspection System.
- A new enhancement to the aliased() construct has been added called
with_polymorphic() which allows any entity to be “aliased” into a
“polymorphic” version of itself, freely usable anywhere.
- The PropComparator.of_type() method can now be used to target any number
of target subtypes, by combining it with the new with_polymorphic()
function.
- Mapper and instance events can now be associated with an unmapped
superclass, where those events will be propagated to subclasses as those
subclasses are mapped. The propagate=True flag should be used.
- The registry of class names is now sensitive to the owning module and
package of a given class. The classes can be referred to via dotted name
in expressions.
- The “deferred reflection” feature allows the construction of declarative
mapped classes with only placeholder Table metadata, until a prepare()
step is called, given an Engine with which to reflect fully all tables
and establish actual mappings. The system supports overriding of columns,
single and joined inheritance, as well as distinct bases-per-engine.
- A new SQL registration system allows a mapped class to be accepted as a
FROM clause within the core.
- The new UPDATE..FROM mechanics work in query.update().
- Upon rollback(), only those objects that were made dirty since the last
flush will be expired, the rest of the Session remains intact.
- Caching Example now uses dogpile.cache.
- The new operator system in Core associates new and overridden operators
with types.
- SQL expressions can now be associated with types.
- The inspect() function introduced in New Class/Object Inspection System
also applies to the core.
- select() now has a method Select.correlate_except() which specifies
“correlate on all FROM clauses except those specified”.
- Support for Postgresql’s HSTORE type is now available as
postgresql.HSTORE. This type makes great usage of the new operator system
to provide a full range of operators for HSTORE types, including index
access, concatenation, and containment methods such as has_key(),
has_any(), and matrix().
- The postgresql.ARRAY type will accept an optional “dimension” argument,
pinning it to a fixed number of dimensions and greatly improving
efficiency when retrieving results.
- SQLite has no built-in DATE, TIME, or DATETIME types, and instead
provides some support for storage of date and time values either as
strings or integers.
- The “collate” keyword, long accepted by the MySQL dialect, is now
established on all String types and will render on any backend, including
when features such as MetaData.create_all() and cast() is used.
- Geared towards MySQL, a “prefix” can be rendered within any of these
constructs.
- The consideration of a “pending” object as an “orphan” has been made more
aggressive.
- The after_attach event fires after the item is associated with the
Session instead of before; before_attach added.
- Query now auto-correlates like a select() does.
- Correlation is now always context-specific.
- create_all() and drop_all() will now honor an empty list as such.
- Repaired the Event Targeting of InstrumentationEvents.
- No more magic coercion of “=” to IN when comparing to subquery in
MS-SQL.
- The Session.is_modified() method accepts an argument passive which
basically should not be necessary, the argument in all cases should be
the value True - when left at its default of False it would have the
effect of hitting the database, and often triggering autoflush which
would itself change the results. In 0.8 the passive argument will have no
effect, and unloaded attributes will never be checked for history since
by definition there can be no pending state change on an unloaded
attribute.
- Column.key is honored in the Select.c attribute of select() with
Select.apply_labels().
- A relationship() that is many-to-one or many-to-many and specifies
“cascade=’all, delete-orphan’”, which is an awkward but nonetheless
supported use case (with restrictions) will now raise an error if the
relationship does not specify the single_parent=True option.
- Adding the inspector argument to the column_reflect event.
- The MySQL dialect does two calls, one very expensive, to load all
possible collations from the database as well as information on casing,
the first time an Engine connects. Neither of these collections are used
for any SQLAlchemy functions, so these calls will be changed to no longer
be emitted automatically. Applications that might have relied on these
collections being present on engine.dialect will need to call upon
_detect_collations() and _detect_casing() directly.
- Inspector.get_primary_keys() is deprecated, use
Inspector.get_pk_constraint.
- Case-insensitive result row names will be disabled in most cases. It will
be available only optionally, by passing the flag `case_sensitive=False`
to `create_engine()`, but otherwise column names requested from the row
must match as far as casing.
- The sqlalchemy.orm.interfaces.InstrumentationManager class is moved to
sqlalchemy.ext.instrumentation.InstrumentationManager.
- SQLSoup is now moved into its own project and documented/released
separately; see https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/sqlsoup.
- The older “mutable” system within the SQLAlchemy ORM has been removed.
- We had left in an alias sqlalchemy.exceptions to attempt to make it
slightly easier for some very old libraries that hadn’t yet been upgraded
to use sqlalchemy.exc. Some users are still being confused by it however
so in 0.8 we’re taking it out entirely to eliminate any of that confusion.

Update SQLalchemy to version 0.6.0.
Changes since 0.5.6:
0.6.0
=====
- orm
- Unit of work internals have been rewritten. Units of work
with large numbers of objects interdependent objects
can now be flushed without recursion overflows
as there is no longer reliance upon recursive calls
[ticket:1081]. The number of internal structures now stays
constant for a particular session state, regardless of
how many relationships are present on mappings. The flow
of events now corresponds to a linear list of steps,
generated by the mappers and relationships based on actual
work to be done, filtered through a single topological sort
for correct ordering. Flush actions are assembled using
far fewer steps and less memory. [ticket:1742]
- Along with the UOW rewrite, this also removes an issue
introduced in 0.6beta3 regarding topological cycle detection
for units of work with long dependency cycles. We now use
an algorithm written by Guido (thanks Guido!).
- one-to-many relationships now maintain a list of positive
parent-child associations within the flush, preventing
previous parents marked as deleted from cascading a
delete or NULL foreign key set on those child objects,
despite the end-user not removing the child from the old
association. [ticket:1764]
- A collection lazy load will switch off default
eagerloading on the reverse many-to-one side, since
that loading is by definition unnecessary. [ticket:1495]
- Session.refresh() now does an equivalent expire()
on the given instance first, so that the "refresh-expire"
cascade is propagated. Previously, refresh() was
not affected in any way by the presence of "refresh-expire"
cascade. This is a change in behavior versus that
of 0.6beta2, where the "lockmode" flag passed to refresh()
would cause a version check to occur. Since the instance
is first expired, refresh() always upgrades the object
to the most recent version.
- The 'refresh-expire' cascade, when reaching a pending object,
will expunge the object if the cascade also includes
"delete-orphan", or will simply detach it otherwise.
[ticket:1754]
- id(obj) is no longer used internally within topological.py,
as the sorting functions now require hashable objects
only. [ticket:1756]
- The ORM will set the docstring of all generated descriptors
to None by default. This can be overridden using 'doc'
(or if using Sphinx, attribute docstrings work too).
- Added kw argument 'doc' to all mapper property callables
as well as Column(). Will assemble the string 'doc' as
the '__doc__' attribute on the descriptor.
- Usage of version_id_col on a backend that supports
cursor.rowcount for execute() but not executemany() now works
when a delete is issued (already worked for saves, since those
don't use executemany()). For a backend that doesn't support
cursor.rowcount at all, a warning is emitted the same
as with saves. [ticket:1761]
- The ORM now short-term caches the "compiled" form of
insert() and update() constructs when flushing lists of
objects of all the same class, thereby avoiding redundant
compilation per individual INSERT/UPDATE within an
individual flush() call.
- internal getattr(), setattr(), getcommitted() methods
on ColumnProperty, CompositeProperty, RelationshipProperty
have been underscored (i.e. are private), signature has
changed.
- engines
- The C extension now also works with DBAPIs which use custom
sequences as row (and not only tuples). [ticket:1757]
- sql
- Restored some bind-labeling logic from 0.5 which ensures
that tables with column names that overlap another column
of the form "<tablename>_<columnname>" won't produce
errors if column._label is used as a bind name during
an UPDATE. Test coverage which wasn't present in 0.5
has been added. [ticket:1755]
- somejoin.select(fold_equivalents=True) is no longer
deprecated, and will eventually be rolled into a more
comprehensive version of the feature for [ticket:1729].
- the Numeric type raises an *enormous* warning when expected
to convert floats to Decimal from a DBAPI that returns floats.
This includes SQLite, Sybase, MS-SQL. [ticket:1759]
- Fixed an error in expression typing which caused an endless
loop for expressions with two NULL types.
- Fixed bug in execution_options() feature whereby the existing
Transaction and other state information from the parent
connection would not be propagated to the sub-connection.
- Added new 'compiled_cache' execution option. A dictionary
where Compiled objects will be cached when the Connection
compiles a clause expression into a dialect- and parameter-
specific Compiled object. It is the user's responsibility to
manage the size of this dictionary, which will have keys
corresponding to the dialect, clause element, the column
names within the VALUES or SET clause of an INSERT or UPDATE,
as well as the "batch" mode for an INSERT or UPDATE statement.
- Added get_pk_constraint() to reflection.Inspector, similar
to get_primary_keys() except returns a dict that includes the
name of the constraint, for supported backends (PG so far).
[ticket:1769]
- Table.create() and Table.drop() no longer apply metadata-
level create/drop events. [ticket:1771]
- ext
- the compiler extension now allows @compiles decorators
on base classes that extend to child classes, @compiles
decorators on child classes that aren't broken by a
@compiles decorator on the base class.
- Declarative will raise an informative error message
if a non-mapped class attribute is referenced in the
string-based relationship() arguments.
- Further reworked the "mixin" logic in declarative to
additionally allow __mapper_args__ as a @classproperty
on a mixin, such as to dynamically assign polymorphic_identity.
- postgresql
- Postgresql now reflects sequence names associated with
SERIAL columns correctly, after the name of of the sequence
has been changed. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the patch.
[ticket:1071]
- Repaired missing import in psycopg2._PGNumeric type when
unknown numeric is received.
- psycopg2/pg8000 dialects now aware of REAL[], FLOAT[],
DOUBLE_PRECISION[], NUMERIC[] return types without
raising an exception.
- Postgresql reflects the name of primary key constraints,
if one exists. [ticket:1769]
- oracle
- Now using cx_oracle output converters so that the
DBAPI returns natively the kinds of values we prefer:
- NUMBER values with positive precision + scale convert
to cx_oracle.STRING and then to Decimal. This
allows perfect precision for the Numeric type when
using cx_oracle. [ticket:1759]
- STRING/FIXED_CHAR now convert to unicode natively.
SQLAlchemy's String types then don't need to
apply any kind of conversions.
- firebird
- The functionality of result.rowcount can be disabled on a
per-engine basis by setting 'enable_rowcount=False'
on create_engine(). Normally, cursor.rowcount is called
after any UPDATE or DELETE statement unconditionally,
because the cursor is then closed and Firebird requires
an open cursor in order to get a rowcount. This
call is slightly expensive however so it can be disabled.
To re-enable on a per-execution basis, the
'enable_rowcount=True' execution option may be used.
- examples
- Updated attribute_shard.py example to use a more robust
method of searching a Query for binary expressions which
compare columns against literal values.
0.6beta3
========
- orm
- Major feature: Added new "subquery" loading capability to
relationship(). This is an eager loading option which
generates a second SELECT for each collection represented
in a query, across all parents at once. The query
re-issues the original end-user query wrapped in a subquery,
applies joins out to the target collection, and loads
all those collections fully in one result, similar to
"joined" eager loading but using all inner joins and not
re-fetching full parent rows repeatedly (as most DBAPIs seem
to do, even if columns are skipped). Subquery loading is
available at mapper config level using "lazy='subquery'" and
at the query options level using "subqueryload(props..)",
"subqueryload_all(props...)". [ticket:1675]
- To accomodate the fact that there are now two kinds of eager
loading available, the new names for eagerload() and
eagerload_all() are joinedload() and joinedload_all(). The
old names will remain as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- The "lazy" flag on the relationship() function now accepts
a string argument for all kinds of loading: "select", "joined",
"subquery", "noload" and "dynamic", where the default is now
"select". The old values of True/
False/None still retain their usual meanings and will remain
as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- Added with_hint() method to Query() construct. This calls
directly down to select().with_hint() and also accepts
entities as well as tables and aliases. See with_hint() in the
SQL section below. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug in Query whereby calling q.join(prop).from_self(...).
join(prop) would fail to render the second join outside the
subquery, when joining on the same criterion as was on the
inside.
- Fixed bug in Query whereby the usage of aliased() constructs
would fail if the underlying table (but not the actual alias)
were referenced inside the subquery generated by
q.from_self() or q.select_from().
- Fixed bug which affected all eagerload() and similar options
such that "remote" eager loads, i.e. eagerloads off of a lazy
load such as query(A).options(eagerload(A.b, B.c))
wouldn't eagerload anything, but using eagerload("b.c") would
work fine.
- Query gains an add_columns(*columns) method which is a multi-
version of add_column(col). add_column(col) is future
deprecated.
- Query.join() will detect if the end result will be
"FROM A JOIN A", and will raise an error if so.
- Query.join(Cls.propname, from_joinpoint=True) will check more
carefully that "Cls" is compatible with the current joinpoint,
and act the same way as Query.join("propname", from_joinpoint=True)
in that regard.
- sql
- Added with_hint() method to select() construct. Specify
a table/alias, hint text, and optional dialect name, and
"hints" will be rendered in the appropriate place in the
statement. Works for Oracle, Sybase, MySQL. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug introduced in 0.6beta2 where column labels would
render inside of column expressions already assigned a label.
[ticket:1747]
- postgresql
- The psycopg2 dialect will log NOTICE messages via the
"sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql" logger name.
[ticket:877]
- the TIME and TIMESTAMP types are now availble from the
postgresql dialect directly, which add the PG-specific
argument 'precision' to both. 'precision' and
'timezone' are correctly reflected for both TIME and
TIMEZONE types. [ticket:997]
- mysql
- No longer guessing that TINYINT(1) should be BOOLEAN
when reflecting - TINYINT(1) is returned. Use Boolean/
BOOLEAN in table definition to get boolean conversion
behavior. [ticket:1752]
- oracle
- The Oracle dialect will issue VARCHAR type definitions
using character counts, i.e. VARCHAR2(50 CHAR), so that
the column is sized in terms of characters and not bytes.
Column reflection of character types will also use
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.CHAR_LENGTH instead of
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.DATA_LENGTH. Both of these behaviors take
effect when the server version is 9 or higher - for
version 8, the old behaviors are used. [ticket:1744]
- declarative
- Using a mixin won't break if the mixin implements an
unpredictable __getattribute__(), i.e. Zope interfaces.
[ticket:1746]
- Using @classdecorator and similar on mixins to define
__tablename__, __table_args__, etc. now works if
the method references attributes on the ultimate
subclass. [ticket:1749]
- relationships and columns with foreign keys aren't
allowed on declarative mixins, sorry. [ticket:1751]
- ext
- The sqlalchemy.orm.shard module now becomes an extension,
sqlalchemy.ext.horizontal_shard. The old import
works with a deprecation warning.
0.6beta2
========
- py3k
- Improved the installation/test setup regarding Python 3,
now that Distribute runs on Py3k. distribute_setup.py
is now included. See README.py3k for Python 3 installation/
testing instructions.
- orm
- The official name for the relation() function is now
relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational
algebra term. relation() however will remain available
in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
- Added "version_id_generator" argument to Mapper, this is a
callable that, given the current value of the "version_id_col",
returns the next version number. Can be used for alternate
versioning schemes such as uuid, timestamps. [ticket:1692]
- added "lockmode" kw argument to Session.refresh(), will
pass through the string value to Query the same as
in with_lockmode(), will also do version check for a
version_id_col-enabled mapping.
- Fixed bug whereby calling query(A).join(A.bs).add_entity(B)
in a joined inheritance scenario would double-add B as a
target and produce an invalid query. [ticket:1188]
- Fixed bug in session.rollback() which involved not removing
formerly "pending" objects from the session before
re-integrating "deleted" objects, typically occured with
natural primary keys. If there was a primary key conflict
between them, the attach of the deleted would fail
internally. The formerly "pending" objects are now expunged
first. [ticket:1674]
- Removed a lot of logging that nobody really cares about,
logging that remains will respond to live changes in the
log level. No significant overhead is added. [ticket:1719]
- Fixed bug in session.merge() which prevented dict-like
collections from merging.
- session.merge() works with relations that specifically
don't include "merge" in their cascade options - the target
is ignored completely.
- session.merge() will not expire existing scalar attributes
on an existing target if the target has a value for that
attribute, even if the incoming merged doesn't have
a value for the attribute. This prevents unnecessary loads
on existing items. Will still mark the attr as expired
if the destination doesn't have the attr, though, which
fulfills some contracts of deferred cols. [ticket:1681]
- The "allow_null_pks" flag is now called "allow_partial_pks",
defaults to True, acts like it did in 0.5 again. Except,
it also is implemented within merge() such that a SELECT
won't be issued for an incoming instance with partially
NULL primary key if the flag is False. [ticket:1680]
- Fixed bug in 0.6-reworked "many-to-one" optimizations
such that a many-to-one that is against a non-primary key
column on the remote table (i.e. foreign key against a
UNIQUE column) will pull the "old" value in from the
database during a change, since if it's in the session
we will need it for proper history/backref accounting,
and we can't pull from the local identity map on a
non-primary key column. [ticket:1737]
- fixed internal error which would occur if calling has()
or similar complex expression on a single-table inheritance
relation(). [ticket:1731]
- query.one() no longer applies LIMIT to the query, this to
ensure that it fully counts all object identities present
in the result, even in the case where joins may conceal
multiple identities for two or more rows. As a bonus,
one() can now also be called with a query that issued
from_statement() to start with since it no longer modifies
the query. [ticket:1688]
- query.get() now returns None if queried for an identifier
that is present in the identity map with a different class
than the one requested, i.e. when using polymorphic loading.
[ticket:1727]
- A major fix in query.join(), when the "on" clause is an
attribute of an aliased() construct, but there is already
an existing join made out to a compatible target, query properly
joins to the right aliased() construct instead of sticking
onto the right side of the existing join. [ticket:1706]
- Slight improvement to the fix for [ticket:1362] to not issue
needless updates of the primary key column during a so-called
"row switch" operation, i.e. add + delete of two objects
with the same PK.
- Now uses sqlalchemy.orm.exc.DetachedInstanceError when an
attribute load or refresh action fails due to object
being detached from any Session. UnboundExecutionError
is specific to engines bound to sessions and statements.
- Query called in the context of an expression will render
disambiguating labels in all cases. Note that this does
not apply to the existing .statement and .subquery()
accessor/method, which still honors the .with_labels()
setting that defaults to False.
- Query.union() retains disambiguating labels within the
returned statement, thus avoiding various SQL composition
errors which can result from column name conflicts.
[ticket:1676]
- Fixed bug in attribute history that inadvertently invoked
__eq__ on mapped instances.
- Some internal streamlining of object loading grants a
small speedup for large results, estimates are around
10-15%. Gave the "state" internals a good solid
cleanup with less complexity, datamembers,
method calls, blank dictionary creates.
- Documentation clarification for query.delete()
[ticket:1689]
- Fixed cascade bug in many-to-one relation() when attribute
was set to None, introduced in r6711 (cascade deleted
items into session during add()).
- Calling query.order_by() or query.distinct() before calling
query.select_from(), query.with_polymorphic(), or
query.from_statement() raises an exception now instead of
silently dropping those criterion. [ticket:1736]
- query.scalar() now raises an exception if more than one
row is returned. All other behavior remains the same.
[ticket:1735]
- Fixed bug which caused "row switch" logic, that is an
INSERT and DELETE replaced by an UPDATE, to fail when
version_id_col was in use. [ticket:1692]
- sql
- join() will now simulate a NATURAL JOIN by default. Meaning,
if the left side is a join, it will attempt to join the right
side to the rightmost side of the left first, and not raise
any exceptions about ambiguous join conditions if successful
even if there are further join targets across the rest of
the left. [ticket:1714]
- The most common result processors conversion function were
moved to the new "processors" module. Dialect authors are
encouraged to use those functions whenever they correspond
to their needs instead of implementing custom ones.
- SchemaType and subclasses Boolean, Enum are now serializable,
including their ddl listener and other event callables.
[ticket:1694] [ticket:1698]
- Some platforms will now interpret certain literal values
as non-bind parameters, rendered literally into the SQL
statement. This to support strict SQL-92 rules that are
enforced by some platforms including MS-SQL and Sybase.
In this model, bind parameters aren't allowed in the
columns clause of a SELECT, nor are certain ambiguous
expressions like "?=?". When this mode is enabled, the base
compiler will render the binds as inline literals, but only across
strings and numeric values. Other types such as dates
will raise an error, unless the dialect subclass defines
a literal rendering function for those. The bind parameter
must have an embedded literal value already or an error
is raised (i.e. won't work with straight bindparam('x')).
Dialects can also expand upon the areas where binds are not
accepted, such as within argument lists of functions
(which don't work on MS-SQL when native SQL binding is used).
- Added "unicode_errors" parameter to String, Unicode, etc.
Behaves like the 'errors' keyword argument to
the standard library's string.decode() functions. This flag
requires that `convert_unicode` is set to `"force"` - otherwise,
SQLAlchemy is not guaranteed to handle the task of unicode
conversion. Note that this flag adds significant performance
overhead to row-fetching operations for backends that already
return unicode objects natively (which most DBAPIs do). This
flag should only be used as an absolute last resort for reading
strings from a column with varied or corrupted encodings,
which only applies to databases that accept invalid encodings
in the first place (i.e. MySQL. *not* PG, Sqlite, etc.)
- Added math negation operator support, -x.
- FunctionElement subclasses are now directly executable the
same way any func.foo() construct is, with automatic
SELECT being applied when passed to execute().
- The "type" and "bind" keyword arguments of a func.foo()
construct are now local to "func." constructs and are
not part of the FunctionElement base class, allowing
a "type" to be handled in a custom constructor or
class-level variable.
- Restored the keys() method to ResultProxy.
- The type/expression system now does a more complete job
of determining the return type from an expression
as well as the adaptation of the Python operator into
a SQL operator, based on the full left/right/operator
of the given expression. In particular
the date/time/interval system created for Postgresql
EXTRACT in [ticket:1647] has now been generalized into
the type system. The previous behavior which often
occured of an expression "column + literal" forcing
the type of "literal" to be the same as that of "column"
will now usually not occur - the type of
"literal" is first derived from the Python type of the
literal, assuming standard native Python types + date
types, before falling back to that of the known type
on the other side of the expression. If the
"fallback" type is compatible (i.e. CHAR from String),
the literal side will use that. TypeDecorator
types override this by default to coerce the "literal"
side unconditionally, which can be changed by implementing
the coerce_compared_value() method. Also part of
[ticket:1683].
- Made sqlalchemy.sql.expressions.Executable part of public
API, used for any expression construct that can be sent to
execute(). FunctionElement now inherits Executable so that
it gains execution_options(), which are also propagated
to the select() that's generated within execute().
Executable in turn subclasses _Generative which marks
any ClauseElement that supports the @_generative
decorator - these may also become "public" for the benefit
of the compiler extension at some point.
- A change to the solution for [ticket:1579] - an end-user
defined bind parameter name that directly conflicts with
a column-named bind generated directly from the SET or
VALUES clause of an update/insert generates a compile error.
This reduces call counts and eliminates some cases where
undesirable name conflicts could still occur.
- Column() requires a type if it has no foreign keys (this is
not new). An error is now raised if a Column() has no type
and no foreign keys. [ticket:1705]
- the "scale" argument of the Numeric() type is honored when
coercing a returned floating point value into a string
on its way to Decimal - this allows accuracy to function
on SQLite, MySQL. [ticket:1717]
- the copy() method of Column now copies over uninitialized
"on table attach" events. Helps with the new declarative
"mixin" capability.
- engines
- Added an optional C extension to speed up the sql layer by
reimplementing RowProxy and the most common result processors.
The actual speedups will depend heavily on your DBAPI and
the mix of datatypes used in your tables, and can vary from
a 30% improvement to more than 200%. It also provides a modest
(~15-20%) indirect improvement to ORM speed for large queries.
Note that it is *not* built/installed by default.
See README for installation instructions.
- the execution sequence pulls all rowcount/last inserted ID
info from the cursor before commit() is called on the
DBAPI connection in an "autocommit" scenario. This helps
mxodbc with rowcount and is probably a good idea overall.
- Opened up logging a bit such that isEnabledFor() is called
more often, so that changes to the log level for engine/pool
will be reflected on next connect. This adds a small
amount of method call overhead. It's negligible and will make
life a lot easier for all those situations when logging
just happens to be configured after create_engine() is called.
[ticket:1719]
- The assert_unicode flag is deprecated. SQLAlchemy will raise
a warning in all cases where it is asked to encode a non-unicode
Python string, as well as when a Unicode or UnicodeType type
is explicitly passed a bytestring. The String type will do nothing
for DBAPIs that already accept Python unicode objects.
- Bind parameters are sent as a tuple instead of a list. Some
backend drivers will not accept bind parameters as a list.
- threadlocal engine wasn't properly closing the connection
upon close() - fixed that.
- Transaction object doesn't rollback or commit if it isn't
"active", allows more accurate nesting of begin/rollback/commit.
- Python unicode objects as binds result in the Unicode type,
not string, thus eliminating a certain class of unicode errors
on drivers that don't support unicode binds.
- Added "logging_name" argument to create_engine(), Pool() constructor
as well as "pool_logging_name" argument to create_engine() which
filters down to that of Pool. Issues the given string name
within the "name" field of logging messages instead of the default
hex identifier string. [ticket:1555]
- The visit_pool() method of Dialect is removed, and replaced with
on_connect(). This method returns a callable which receives
the raw DBAPI connection after each one is created. The callable
is assembled into a first_connect/connect pool listener by the
connection strategy if non-None. Provides a simpler interface
for dialects.
- StaticPool now initializes, disposes and recreates without
opening a new connection - the connection is only opened when
first requested. dispose() also works on AssertionPool now.
[ticket:1728]
- metadata
- Added the ability to strip schema information when using
"tometadata" by passing "schema=None" as an argument. If schema
is not specified then the table's schema is retained.
[ticket: 1673]
- declarative
- DeclarativeMeta exclusively uses cls.__dict__ (not dict_)
as the source of class information; _as_declarative exclusively
uses the dict_ passed to it as the source of class information
(which when using DeclarativeMeta is cls.__dict__). This should
in theory make it easier for custom metaclasses to modify
the state passed into _as_declarative.
- declarative now accepts mixin classes directly, as a means
to provide common functional and column-based elements on
all subclasses, as well as a means to propagate a fixed
set of __table_args__ or __mapper_args__ to subclasses.
For custom combinations of __table_args__/__mapper_args__ from
an inherited mixin to local, descriptors can now be used.
New details are all up in the Declarative documentation.
Thanks to Chris Withers for putting up with my strife
on this. [ticket:1707]
- the __mapper_args__ dict is copied when propagating to a subclass,
and is taken straight off the class __dict__ to avoid any
propagation from the parent. mapper inheritance already
propagates the things you want from the parent mapper.
[ticket:1393]
- An exception is raised when a single-table subclass specifies
a column that is already present on the base class.
[ticket:1732]
- mysql
- Fixed reflection bug whereby when COLLATE was present,
nullable flag and server defaults would not be reflected.
[ticket:1655]
- Fixed reflection of TINYINT(1) "boolean" columns defined with
integer flags like UNSIGNED.
- Further fixes for the mysql-connector dialect. [ticket:1668]
- Composite PK table on InnoDB where the "autoincrement" column
isn't first will emit an explicit "KEY" phrase within
CREATE TABLE thereby avoiding errors, [ticket:1496]
- Added reflection/create table support for a wide range
of MySQL keywords. [ticket:1634]
- Fixed import error which could occur reflecting tables on
a Windows host [ticket:1580]
- mssql
- Re-established support for the pymssql dialect.
- Various fixes for implicit returning, reflection,
etc. - the MS-SQL dialects aren't quite complete
in 0.6 yet (but are close)
- Added basic support for mxODBC [ticket:1710].
- Removed the text_as_varchar option.
- oracle
- "out" parameters require a type that is supported by
cx_oracle. An error will be raised if no cx_oracle
type can be found.
- Oracle 'DATE' now does not perform any result processing,
as the DATE type in Oracle stores full date+time objects,
that's what you'll get. Note that the generic types.Date
type *will* still call value.date() on incoming values,
however. When reflecting a table, the reflected type
will be 'DATE'.
- Added preliminary support for Oracle's WITH_UNICODE
mode. At the very least this establishes initial
support for cx_Oracle with Python 3. When WITH_UNICODE
mode is used in Python 2.xx, a large and scary warning
is emitted asking that the user seriously consider
the usage of this difficult mode of operation.
[ticket:1670]
- The except_() method now renders as MINUS on Oracle,
which is more or less equivalent on that platform.
[ticket:1712]
- Added support for rendering and reflecting
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, i.e. TIMESTAMP(timezone=True).
[ticket:651]
- Oracle INTERVAL type can now be reflected.
- sqlite
- Added "native_datetime=True" flag to create_engine().
This will cause the DATE and TIMESTAMP types to skip
all bind parameter and result row processing, under
the assumption that PARSE_DECLTYPES has been enabled
on the connection. Note that this is not entirely
compatible with the "func.current_date()", which
will be returned as a string. [ticket:1685]
- sybase
- Implemented a preliminary working dialect for Sybase,
with sub-implementations for Python-Sybase as well
as Pyodbc. Handles table
creates/drops and basic round trip functionality.
Does not yet include reflection or comprehensive
support of unicode/special expressions/etc.
- examples
- Changed the beaker cache example a bit to have a separate
RelationCache option for lazyload caching. This object
does a lookup among any number of potential attributes
more efficiently by grouping several into a common structure.
Both FromCache and RelationCache are simpler individually.
- documentation
- Major cleanup work in the docs to link class, function, and
method names into the API docs. [ticket:1700/1702/1703]
0.6beta1
========
- Major Release
- For the full set of feature descriptions, see
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/06Migration .
This document is a work in progress.
- All bug fixes and feature enhancements from the most
recent 0.5 version and below are also included within 0.6.
- Platforms targeted now include Python 2.4/2.5/2.6, Python
3.1, Jython2.5.
- orm
- Changes to query.update() and query.delete():
- the 'expire' option on query.update() has been renamed to
'fetch', thus matching that of query.delete().
'expire' is deprecated and issues a warning.
- query.update() and query.delete() both default to
'evaluate' for the synchronize strategy.
- the 'synchronize' strategy for update() and delete()
raises an error on failure. There is no implicit fallback
onto "fetch". Failure of evaluation is based on the
structure of criteria, so success/failure is deterministic
based on code structure.
- Enhancements on many-to-one relations:
- many-to-one relations now fire off a lazyload in fewer
cases, including in most cases will not fetch the "old"
value when a new one is replaced.
- many-to-one relation to a joined-table subclass now uses
get() for a simple load (known as the "use_get"
condition), i.e. Related->Sub(Base), without the need to
redefine the primaryjoin condition in terms of the base
table. [ticket:1186]
- specifying a foreign key with a declarative column, i.e.
ForeignKey(MyRelatedClass.id) doesn't break the "use_get"
condition from taking place [ticket:1492]
- relation(), eagerload(), and eagerload_all() now feature
an option called "innerjoin". Specify `True` or `False` to
control whether an eager join is constructed as an INNER
or OUTER join. Default is `False` as always. The mapper
options will override whichever setting is specified on
relation(). Should generally be set for many-to-one, not
nullable foreign key relations to allow improved join
performance. [ticket:1544]
- the behavior of eagerloading such that the main query is
wrapped in a subquery when LIMIT/OFFSET are present now
makes an exception for the case when all eager loads are
many-to-one joins. In those cases, the eager joins are
against the parent table directly along with the
limit/offset without the extra overhead of a subquery,
since a many-to-one join does not add rows to the result.
- Enhancements / Changes on Session.merge():
- the "dont_load=True" flag on Session.merge() is deprecated
and is now "load=False".
- Session.merge() is performance optimized, using half the
call counts for "load=False" mode compared to 0.5 and
significantly fewer SQL queries in the case of collections
for "load=True" mode.
- merge() will not issue a needless merge of attributes if the
given instance is the same instance which is already present.
- merge() now also merges the "options" associated with a given
state, i.e. those passed through query.options() which follow
along with an instance, such as options to eagerly- or
lazyily- load various attributes. This is essential for
the construction of highly integrated caching schemes. This
is a subtle behavioral change vs. 0.5.
- A bug was fixed regarding the serialization of the "loader
path" present on an instance's state, which is also necessary
when combining the usage of merge() with serialized state
and associated options that should be preserved.
- The all new merge() is showcased in a new comprehensive
example of how to integrate Beaker with SQLAlchemy. See
the notes in the "examples" note below.
- Primary key values can now be changed on a joined-table inheritance
object, and ON UPDATE CASCADE will be taken into account when
the flush happens. Set the new "passive_updates" flag to False
on mapper() when using SQLite or MySQL/MyISAM. [ticket:1362]
- flush() now detects when a primary key column was updated by
an ON UPDATE CASCADE operation from another primary key, and
can then locate the row for a subsequent UPDATE on the new PK
value. This occurs when a relation() is there to establish
the relationship as well as passive_updates=True. [ticket:1671]
- the "save-update" cascade will now cascade the pending *removed*
values from a scalar or collection attribute into the new session
during an add() operation. This so that the flush() operation
will also delete or modify rows of those disconnected items.
- Using a "dynamic" loader with a "secondary" table now produces
a query where the "secondary" table is *not* aliased. This
allows the secondary Table object to be used in the "order_by"
attribute of the relation(), and also allows it to be used
in filter criterion against the dynamic relation.
[ticket:1531]
- relation() with uselist=False will emit a warning when
an eager or lazy load locates more than one valid value for
the row. This may be due to primaryjoin/secondaryjoin
conditions which aren't appropriate for an eager LEFT OUTER
JOIN or for other conditions. [ticket:1643]
- an explicit check occurs when a synonym() is used with
map_column=True, when a ColumnProperty (deferred or otherwise)
exists separately in the properties dictionary sent to mapper
with the same keyname. Instead of silently replacing
the existing property (and possible options on that property),
an error is raised. [ticket:1633]
- a "dynamic" loader sets up its query criterion at construction
time so that the actual query is returned from non-cloning
accessors like "statement".
- the "named tuple" objects returned when iterating a
Query() are now pickleable.
- mapping to a select() construct now requires that you
make an alias() out of it distinctly. This to eliminate
confusion over such issues as [ticket:1542]
- query.join() has been reworked to provide more consistent
behavior and more flexibility (includes [ticket:1537])
- query.select_from() accepts multiple clauses to produce
multiple comma separated entries within the FROM clause.
Useful when selecting from multiple-homed join() clauses.
- query.select_from() also accepts mapped classes, aliased()
constructs, and mappers as arguments. In particular this
helps when querying from multiple joined-table classes to ensure
the full join gets rendered.
- query.get() can be used with a mapping to an outer join
where one or more of the primary key values are None.
[ticket:1135]
- query.from_self(), query.union(), others which do a
"SELECT * from (SELECT...)" type of nesting will do
a better job translating column expressions within the subquery
to the columns clause of the outer query. This is
potentially backwards incompatible with 0.5, in that this
may break queries with literal expressions that do not have labels
applied (i.e. literal('foo'), etc.)
[ticket:1568]
- relation primaryjoin and secondaryjoin now check that they
are column-expressions, not just clause elements. this prohibits
things like FROM expressions being placed there directly.
[ticket:1622]
- `expression.null()` is fully understood the same way
None is when comparing an object/collection-referencing
attribute within query.filter(), filter_by(), etc.
[ticket:1415]
- added "make_transient()" helper function which transforms a
persistent/ detached instance into a transient one (i.e.
deletes the instance_key and removes from any session.)
[ticket:1052]
- the allow_null_pks flag on mapper() is deprecated, and
the feature is turned "on" by default. This means that
a row which has a non-null value for any of its primary key
columns will be considered an identity. The need for this
scenario typically only occurs when mapping to an outer join.
[ticket:1339]
- the mechanics of "backref" have been fully merged into the
finer grained "back_populates" system, and take place entirely
within the _generate_backref() method of RelationProperty. This
makes the initialization procedure of RelationProperty
simpler and allows easier propagation of settings (such as from
subclasses of RelationProperty) into the reverse reference.
The internal BackRef() is gone and backref() returns a plain
tuple that is understood by RelationProperty.
- The version_id_col feature on mapper() will raise a warning when
used with dialects that don't support "rowcount" adequately.
[ticket:1569]
- added "execution_options()" to Query, to so options can be
passed to the resulting statement. Currently only
Select-statements have these options, and the only option
used is "stream_results", and the only dialect which knows
"stream_results" is psycopg2.
- Query.yield_per() will set the "stream_results" statement
option automatically.
- Deprecated or removed:
* 'allow_null_pks' flag on mapper() is deprecated. It does
nothing now and the setting is "on" in all cases.
* 'transactional' flag on sessionmaker() and others is
removed. Use 'autocommit=True' to indicate 'transactional=False'.
* 'polymorphic_fetch' argument on mapper() is removed.
Loading can be controlled using the 'with_polymorphic'
option.
* 'select_table' argument on mapper() is removed. Use
'with_polymorphic=("*", <some selectable>)' for this
functionality.
* 'proxy' argument on synonym() is removed. This flag
did nothing throughout 0.5, as the "proxy generation"
behavior is now automatic.
* Passing a single list of elements to eagerload(),
eagerload_all(), contains_eager(), lazyload(),
defer(), and undefer() instead of multiple positional
*args is deprecated.
* Passing a single list of elements to query.order_by(),
query.group_by(), query.join(), or query.outerjoin()
instead of multiple positional *args is deprecated.
* query.iterate_instances() is removed. Use query.instances().
* Query.query_from_parent() is removed. Use the
sqlalchemy.orm.with_parent() function to produce a
"parent" clause, or alternatively query.with_parent().
* query._from_self() is removed, use query.from_self()
instead.
* the "comparator" argument to composite() is removed.
Use "comparator_factory".
* RelationProperty._get_join() is removed.
* the 'echo_uow' flag on Session is removed. Use
logging on the "sqlalchemy.orm.unitofwork" name.
* session.clear() is removed. use session.expunge_all().
* session.save(), session.update(), session.save_or_update()
are removed. Use session.add() and session.add_all().
* the "objects" flag on session.flush() remains deprecated.
* the "dont_load=True" flag on session.merge() is deprecated
in favor of "load=False".
* ScopedSession.mapper remains deprecated. See the
usage recipe at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/SessionAwareMapper
* passing an InstanceState (internal SQLAlchemy state object) to
attributes.init_collection() or attributes.get_history() is
deprecated. These functions are public API and normally
expect a regular mapped object instance.
* the 'engine' parameter to declarative_base() is removed.
Use the 'bind' keyword argument.
- sql
- the "autocommit" flag on select() and text() as well
as select().autocommit() are deprecated - now call
.execution_options(autocommit=True) on either of those
constructs, also available directly on Connection and orm.Query.
- the autoincrement flag on column now indicates the column
which should be linked to cursor.lastrowid, if that method
is used. See the API docs for details.
- an executemany() now requires that all bound parameter
sets require that all keys are present which are
present in the first bound parameter set. The structure
and behavior of an insert/update statement is very much
determined by the first parameter set, including which
defaults are going to fire off, and a minimum of
guesswork is performed with all the rest so that performance
is not impacted. For this reason defaults would otherwise
silently "fail" for missing parameters, so this is now guarded
against. [ticket:1566]
- returning() support is native to insert(), update(),
delete(). Implementations of varying levels of
functionality exist for Postgresql, Firebird, MSSQL and
Oracle. returning() can be called explicitly with column
expressions which are then returned in the resultset,
usually via fetchone() or first().
insert() constructs will also use RETURNING implicitly to
get newly generated primary key values, if the database
version in use supports it (a version number check is
performed). This occurs if no end-user returning() was
specified.
- union(), intersect(), except() and other "compound" types
of statements have more consistent behavior w.r.t.
parenthesizing. Each compound element embedded within
another will now be grouped with parenthesis - previously,
the first compound element in the list would not be grouped,
as SQLite doesn't like a statement to start with
parenthesis. However, Postgresql in particular has
precedence rules regarding INTERSECT, and it is
more consistent for parenthesis to be applied equally
to all sub-elements. So now, the workaround for SQLite
is also what the workaround for PG was previously -
when nesting compound elements, the first one usually needs
".alias().select()" called on it to wrap it inside
of a subquery. [ticket:1665]
- insert() and update() constructs can now embed bindparam()
objects using names that match the keys of columns. These
bind parameters will circumvent the usual route to those
keys showing up in the VALUES or SET clause of the generated
SQL. [ticket:1579]
- the Binary type now returns data as a Python string
(or a "bytes" type in Python 3), instead of the built-
in "buffer" type. This allows symmetric round trips
of binary data. [ticket:1524]
- Added a tuple_() construct, allows sets of expressions
to be compared to another set, typically with IN against
composite primary keys or similar. Also accepts an
IN with multiple columns. The "scalar select can
have only one column" error message is removed - will
rely upon the database to report problems with
col mismatch.
- User-defined "default" and "onupdate" callables which
accept a context should now call upon
"context.current_parameters" to get at the dictionary
of bind parameters currently being processed. This
dict is available in the same way regardless of
single-execute or executemany-style statement execution.
- multi-part schema names, i.e. with dots such as
"dbo.master", are now rendered in select() labels
with underscores for dots, i.e. "dbo_master_table_column".
This is a "friendly" label that behaves better
in result sets. [ticket:1428]
- removed needless "counter" behavior with select()
labelnames that match a column name in the table,
i.e. generates "tablename_id" for "id", instead of
"tablename_id_1" in an attempt to avoid naming
conflicts, when the table has a column actually
named "tablename_id" - this is because
the labeling logic is always applied to all columns
so a naming conflict will never occur.
- calling expr.in_([]), i.e. with an empty list, emits a warning
before issuing the usual "expr != expr" clause. The
"expr != expr" can be very expensive, and it's preferred
that the user not issue in_() if the list is empty,
instead simply not querying, or modifying the criterion
as appropriate for more complex situations.
[ticket:1628]
- Added "execution_options()" to select()/text(), which set the
default options for the Connection. See the note in "engines".
- Deprecated or removed:
* "scalar" flag on select() is removed, use
select.as_scalar().
* "shortname" attribute on bindparam() is removed.
* postgres_returning, firebird_returning flags on
insert(), update(), delete() are deprecated, use
the new returning() method.
* fold_equivalents flag on join is deprecated (will remain
until [ticket:1131] is implemented)
- engines
- transaction isolation level may be specified with
create_engine(... isolation_level="..."); available on
postgresql and sqlite. [ticket:443]
- Connection has execution_options(), generative method
which accepts keywords that affect how the statement
is executed w.r.t. the DBAPI. Currently supports
"stream_results", causes psycopg2 to use a server
side cursor for that statement, as well as
"autocommit", which is the new location for the "autocommit"
option from select() and text(). select() and
text() also have .execution_options() as well as
ORM Query().
- fixed the import for entrypoint-driven dialects to
not rely upon silly tb_info trick to determine import
error status. [ticket:1630]
- added first() method to ResultProxy, returns first row and
closes result set immediately.
- RowProxy objects are now pickleable, i.e. the object returned
by result.fetchone(), result.fetchall() etc.
- RowProxy no longer has a close() method, as the row no longer
maintains a reference to the parent. Call close() on
the parent ResultProxy instead, or use autoclose.
- ResultProxy internals have been overhauled to greatly reduce
method call counts when fetching columns. Can provide a large
speed improvement (up to more than 100%) when fetching large
result sets. The improvement is larger when fetching columns
that have no type-level processing applied and when using
results as tuples (instead of as dictionaries). Many
thanks to Elixir's Gaëtan de Menten for this dramatic
improvement ! [ticket:1586]
- Databases which rely upon postfetch of "last inserted id"
to get at a generated sequence value (i.e. MySQL, MS-SQL)
now work correctly when there is a composite primary key
where the "autoincrement" column is not the first primary
key column in the table.
- the last_inserted_ids() method has been renamed to the
descriptor "inserted_primary_key".
- setting echo=False on create_engine() now sets the loglevel
to WARN instead of NOTSET. This so that logging can be
disabled for a particular engine even if logging
for "sqlalchemy.engine" is enabled overall. Note that the
default setting of "echo" is `None`. [ticket:1554]
- ConnectionProxy now has wrapper methods for all transaction
lifecycle events, including begin(), rollback(), commit()
begin_nested(), begin_prepared(), prepare(), release_savepoint(),
etc.
- Connection pool logging now uses both INFO and DEBUG
log levels for logging. INFO is for major events such
as invalidated connections, DEBUG for all the acquire/return
logging. `echo_pool` can be False, None, True or "debug"
the same way as `echo` works.
- All pyodbc-dialects now support extra pyodbc-specific
kw arguments 'ansi', 'unicode_results', 'autocommit'.
[ticket:1621]
- the "threadlocal" engine has been rewritten and simplified
and now supports SAVEPOINT operations.
- deprecated or removed
* result.last_inserted_ids() is deprecated. Use
result.inserted_primary_key
* dialect.get_default_schema_name(connection) is now
public via dialect.default_schema_name.
* the "connection" argument from engine.transaction() and
engine.run_callable() is removed - Connection itself
now has those methods. All four methods accept
*args and **kwargs which are passed to the given callable,
as well as the operating connection.
- schema
- the `__contains__()` method of `MetaData` now accepts
strings or `Table` objects as arguments. If given
a `Table`, the argument is converted to `table.key` first,
i.e. "[schemaname.]<tablename>" [ticket:1541]
- deprecated MetaData.connect() and
ThreadLocalMetaData.connect() have been removed - send
the "bind" attribute to bind a metadata.
- deprecated metadata.table_iterator() method removed (use
sorted_tables)
- deprecated PassiveDefault - use DefaultClause.
- the "metadata" argument is removed from DefaultGenerator
and subclasses, but remains locally present on Sequence,
which is a standalone construct in DDL.
- Removed public mutability from Index and Constraint
objects:
- ForeignKeyConstraint.append_element()
- Index.append_column()
- UniqueConstraint.append_column()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.add()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.remove()
These should be constructed declaratively (i.e. in one
construction).
- The "start" and "increment" attributes on Sequence now
generate "START WITH" and "INCREMENT BY" by default,
on Oracle and Postgresql. Firebird doesn't support
these keywords right now. [ticket:1545]
- UniqueConstraint, Index, PrimaryKeyConstraint all accept
lists of column names or column objects as arguments.
- Other removed things:
- Table.key (no idea what this was for)
- Table.primary_key is not assignable - use
table.append_constraint(PrimaryKeyConstraint(...))
- Column.bind (get via column.table.bind)
- Column.metadata (get via column.table.metadata)
- Column.sequence (use column.default)
- ForeignKey(constraint=some_parent) (is now private _constraint)
- The use_alter flag on ForeignKey is now a shortcut option
for operations that can be hand-constructed using the
DDL() event system. A side effect of this refactor is
that ForeignKeyConstraint objects with use_alter=True
will *not* be emitted on SQLite, which does not support
ALTER for foreign keys.
- ForeignKey and ForeignKeyConstraint objects now correctly
copy() all their public keyword arguments. [ticket:1605]
- Reflection/Inspection
- Table reflection has been expanded and generalized into
a new API called "sqlalchemy.engine.reflection.Inspector".
The Inspector object provides fine-grained information about
a wide variety of schema information, with room for expansion,
including table names, column names, view definitions, sequences,
indexes, etc.
- Views are now reflectable as ordinary Table objects. The same
Table constructor is used, with the caveat that "effective"
primary and foreign key constraints aren't part of the reflection
results; these have to be specified explicitly if desired.
- The existing autoload=True system now uses Inspector underneath
so that each dialect need only return "raw" data about tables
and other objects - Inspector is the single place that information
is compiled into Table objects so that consistency is at a maximum.
- DDL
- the DDL system has been greatly expanded. the DDL() class
now extends the more generic DDLElement(), which forms the basis
of many new constructs:
- CreateTable()
- DropTable()
- AddConstraint()
- DropConstraint()
- CreateIndex()
- DropIndex()
- CreateSequence()
- DropSequence()
These support "on" and "execute-at()" just like plain DDL()
does. User-defined DDLElement subclasses can be created and
linked to a compiler using the sqlalchemy.ext.compiler extension.
- The signature of the "on" callable passed to DDL() and
DDLElement() is revised as follows:
"ddl" - the DDLElement object itself.
"event" - the string event name.
"target" - previously "schema_item", the Table or
MetaData object triggering the event.
"connection" - the Connection object in use for the operation.
**kw - keyword arguments. In the case of MetaData before/after
create/drop, the list of Table objects for which
CREATE/DROP DDL is to be issued is passed as the kw
argument "tables". This is necessary for metadata-level
DDL that is dependent on the presence of specific tables.
- the "schema_item" attribute of DDL has been renamed to
"target".
- dialect refactor
- Dialect modules are now broken into database dialects
plus DBAPI implementations. Connect URLs are now
preferred to be specified using dialect+driver://...,
i.e. "mysql+mysqldb://scott:tiger@localhost/test". See
the 0.6 documentation for examples.
- the setuptools entrypoint for external dialects is now
called "sqlalchemy.dialects".
- the "owner" keyword argument is removed from Table. Use
"schema" to represent any namespaces to be prepended to
the table name.
- server_version_info becomes a static attribute.
- dialects receive an initialize() event on initial
connection to determine connection properties.
- dialects receive a visit_pool event have an opportunity
to establish pool listeners.
- cached TypeEngine classes are cached per-dialect class
instead of per-dialect.
- new UserDefinedType should be used as a base class for
new types, which preserves the 0.5 behavior of
get_col_spec().
- The result_processor() method of all type classes now
accepts a second argument "coltype", which is the DBAPI
type argument from cursor.description. This argument
can help some types decide on the most efficient processing
of result values.
- Deprecated Dialect.get_params() removed.
- Dialect.get_rowcount() has been renamed to a descriptor
"rowcount", and calls cursor.rowcount directly. Dialects
which need to hardwire a rowcount in for certain calls
should override the method to provide different behavior.
- DefaultRunner and subclasses have been removed. The job
of this object has been simplified and moved into
ExecutionContext. Dialects which support sequences should
add a `fire_sequence()` method to their execution context
implementation. [ticket:1566]
- Functions and operators generated by the compiler now use
(almost) regular dispatch functions of the form
"visit_<opname>" and "visit_<funcname>_fn" to provide
customed processing. This replaces the need to copy the
"functions" and "operators" dictionaries in compiler
subclasses with straightforward visitor methods, and also
allows compiler subclasses complete control over
rendering, as the full _Function or _BinaryExpression
object is passed in.
- postgresql
- New dialects: pg8000, zxjdbc, and pypostgresql
on py3k.
- The "postgres" dialect is now named "postgresql" !
Connection strings look like:
postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test
postgresql+pg8000://scott:tiger@localhost/test
The "postgres" name remains for backwards compatiblity
in the following ways:
- There is a "postgres.py" dummy dialect which
allows old URLs to work, i.e.
postgres://scott:tiger@localhost/test
- The "postgres" name can be imported from the old
"databases" module, i.e. "from
sqlalchemy.databases import postgres" as well as
"dialects", "from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgres
import base as pg", will send a deprecation
warning.
- Special expression arguments are now named
"postgresql_returning" and "postgresql_where", but
the older "postgres_returning" and
"postgres_where" names still work with a
deprecation warning.
- "postgresql_where" now accepts SQL expressions which
can also include literals, which will be quoted as needed.
- The psycopg2 dialect now uses psycopg2's "unicode extension"
on all new connections, which allows all String/Text/etc.
types to skip the need to post-process bytestrings into
unicode (an expensive step due to its volume). Other
dialects which return unicode natively (pg8000, zxjdbc)
also skip unicode post-processing.
- Added new ENUM type, which exists as a schema-level
construct and extends the generic Enum type. Automatically
associates itself with tables and their parent metadata
to issue the appropriate CREATE TYPE/DROP TYPE
commands as needed, supports unicode labels, supports
reflection. [ticket:1511]
- INTERVAL supports an optional "precision" argument
corresponding to the argument that PG accepts.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
psycopg2 can't handle a bind parameter name of
%(foobar)s however and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead
just to treat that one non-existent use case.
[ticket:1279]
- Inserting NULL into a primary key + foreign key column
will allow the "not null constraint" error to raise,
not an attempt to execute a nonexistent "col_id_seq"
sequence. [ticket:1516]
- autoincrement SELECT statements, i.e. those which
select from a procedure that modifies rows, now work
with server-side cursor mode (the named cursor isn't
used for such statements.)
- postgresql dialect can properly detect pg "devel" version
strings, i.e. "8.5devel" [ticket:1636]
- The psycopg2 now respects the statement option
"stream_results". This option overrides the connection setting
"server_side_cursors". If true, server side cursors will be
used for the statement. If false, they will not be used, even
if "server_side_cursors" is true on the
connection. [ticket:1619]
- mysql
- New dialects: oursql, a new native dialect,
MySQL Connector/Python, a native Python port of MySQLdb,
and of course zxjdbc on Jython.
- VARCHAR/NVARCHAR will not render without a length, raises
an error before passing to MySQL. Doesn't impact
CAST since VARCHAR is not allowed in MySQL CAST anyway,
the dialect renders CHAR/NCHAR in those cases.
- all the _detect_XXX() functions now run once underneath
dialect.initialize()
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
MySQLdb can't handle % signs in SQL when executemany() is used,
and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead just to treat that one
non-existent use case. [ticket:1279]
- the BINARY and MSBinary types now generate "BINARY" in all
cases. Omitting the "length" parameter will generate
"BINARY" with no length. Use BLOB to generate an unlengthed
binary column.
- the "quoting='quoted'" argument to MSEnum/ENUM is deprecated.
It's best to rely upon the automatic quoting.
- ENUM now subclasses the new generic Enum type, and also handles
unicode values implicitly, if the given labelnames are unicode
objects.
- a column of type TIMESTAMP now defaults to NULL if
"nullable=False" is not passed to Column(), and no default
is present. This is now consistent with all other types,
and in the case of TIMESTAMP explictly renders "NULL"
due to MySQL's "switching" of default nullability
for TIMESTAMP columns. [ticket:1539]
- oracle
- unit tests pass 100% with cx_oracle !
- support for cx_Oracle's "native unicode" mode which does
not require NLS_LANG to be set. Use the latest 5.0.2 or
later of cx_oracle.
- an NCLOB type is added to the base types.
- use_ansi=False won't leak into the FROM/WHERE clause of
a statement that's selecting from a subquery that also
uses JOIN/OUTERJOIN.
- added native INTERVAL type to the dialect. This supports
only the DAY TO SECOND interval type so far due to lack
of support in cx_oracle for YEAR TO MONTH. [ticket:1467]
- usage of the CHAR type results in cx_oracle's
FIXED_CHAR dbapi type being bound to statements.
- the Oracle dialect now features NUMBER which intends
to act justlike Oracle's NUMBER type. It is the primary
numeric type returned by table reflection and attempts
to return Decimal()/float/int based on the precision/scale
parameters. [ticket:885]
- func.char_length is a generic function for LENGTH
- ForeignKey() which includes onupdate=<value> will emit a
warning, not emit ON UPDATE CASCADE which is unsupported
by oracle
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- using types.BigInteger with Oracle will generate
NUMBER(19) [ticket:1125]
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- firebird
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- mssql
- MSSQL + Pyodbc + FreeTDS now works for the most part,
with possible exceptions regarding binary data as well as
unicode schema identifiers.
- the "has_window_funcs" flag is removed. LIMIT/OFFSET
usage will use ROW NUMBER as always, and if on an older
version of SQL Server, the operation fails. The behavior
is exactly the same except the error is raised by SQL
server instead of the dialect, and no flag setting is
required to enable it.
- the "auto_identity_insert" flag is removed. This feature
always takes effect when an INSERT statement overrides a
column that is known to have a sequence on it. As with
"has_window_funcs", if the underlying driver doesn't
support this, then you can't do this operation in any
case, so there's no point in having a flag.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- removed references to sequence which is no longer used.
implicit identities in mssql work the same as implicit
sequences on any other dialects. Explicit sequences are
enabled through the use of "default=Sequence()". See
the MSSQL dialect documentation for more information.
- sqlite
- DATE, TIME and DATETIME types can now take optional storage_format
and regexp argument. storage_format can be used to store those types
using a custom string format. regexp allows to use a custom regular
expression to match string values from the database.
- Time and DateTime types now use by a default a stricter regular
expression to match strings from the database. Use the regexp
argument if you are using data stored in a legacy format.
- __legacy_microseconds__ on SQLite Time and DateTime types is not
supported anymore. You should use the storage_format argument
instead.
- Date, Time and DateTime types are now stricter in what they accept as
bind parameters: Date type only accepts date objects (and datetime
ones, because they inherit from date), Time only accepts time
objects, and DateTime only accepts date and datetime objects.
- Table() supports a keyword argument "sqlite_autoincrement", which
applies the SQLite keyword "AUTOINCREMENT" to the single integer
primary key column when generating DDL. Will prevent generation of
a separate PRIMARY KEY constraint. [ticket:1016]
- new dialects
- postgresql+pg8000
- postgresql+pypostgresql (partial)
- postgresql+zxjdbc
- mysql+pyodbc
- mysql+zxjdbc
- types
- The construction of types within dialects has been totally
overhauled. Dialects now define publically available types
as UPPERCASE names exclusively, and internal implementation
types using underscore identifiers (i.e. are private).
The system by which types are expressed in SQL and DDL
has been moved to the compiler system. This has the
effect that there are much fewer type objects within
most dialects. A detailed document on this architecture
for dialect authors is in
lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/type_migration_guidelines.txt .
- Types no longer make any guesses as to default
parameters. In particular, Numeric, Float, NUMERIC,
FLOAT, DECIMAL don't generate any length or scale unless
specified.
- types.Binary is renamed to types.LargeBinary, it only
produces BLOB, BYTEA, or a similar "long binary" type.
New base BINARY and VARBINARY
types have been added to access these MySQL/MS-SQL specific
types in an agnostic way [ticket:1664].
- String/Text/Unicode types now skip the unicode() check
on each result column value if the dialect has
detected the DBAPI as returning Python unicode objects
natively. This check is issued on first connect
using "SELECT CAST 'some text' AS VARCHAR(10)" or
equivalent, then checking if the returned object
is a Python unicode. This allows vast performance
increases for native-unicode DBAPIs, including
pysqlite/sqlite3, psycopg2, and pg8000.
- Most types result processors have been checked for possible speed
improvements. Specifically, the following generic types have been
optimized, resulting in varying speed improvements:
Unicode, PickleType, Interval, TypeDecorator, Binary.
Also the following dbapi-specific implementations have been improved:
Time, Date and DateTime on Sqlite, ARRAY on Postgresql,
Time on MySQL, Numeric(as_decimal=False) on MySQL, oursql and
pypostgresql, DateTime on cx_oracle and LOB-based types on cx_oracle.
- Reflection of types now returns the exact UPPERCASE
type within types.py, or the UPPERCASE type within
the dialect itself if the type is not a standard SQL
type. This means reflection now returns more accurate
information about reflected types.
- Added a new Enum generic type. Enum is a schema-aware object
to support databases which require specific DDL in order to
use enum or equivalent; in the case of PG it handles the
details of `CREATE TYPE`, and on other databases without
native enum support will by generate VARCHAR + an inline CHECK
constraint to enforce the enum.
[ticket:1109] [ticket:1511]
- The Interval type includes a "native" flag which controls
if native INTERVAL types (postgresql + oracle) are selected
if available, or not. "day_precision" and "second_precision"
arguments are also added which propagate as appropriately
to these native types. Related to [ticket:1467].
- The Boolean type, when used on a backend that doesn't
have native boolean support, will generate a CHECK
constraint "col IN (0, 1)" along with the int/smallint-
based column type. This can be switched off if
desired with create_constraint=False.
Note that MySQL has no native boolean *or* CHECK constraint
support so this feature isn't available on that platform.
[ticket:1589]
- PickleType now uses == for comparison of values when
mutable=True, unless the "comparator" argument with a
comparsion function is specified to the type. Objects
being pickled will be compared based on identity (which
defeats the purpose of mutable=True) if __eq__() is not
overridden or a comparison function is not provided.
- The default "precision" and "scale" arguments of Numeric
and Float have been removed and now default to None.
NUMERIC and FLOAT will be rendered with no numeric
arguments by default unless these values are provided.
- AbstractType.get_search_list() is removed - the games
that was used for are no longer necessary.
- Added a generic BigInteger type, compiles to
BIGINT or NUMBER(19). [ticket:1125]
-ext
- sqlsoup has been overhauled to explicitly support an 0.5 style
session, using autocommit=False, autoflush=True. Default
behavior of SQLSoup now requires the usual usage of commit()
and rollback(), which have been added to its interface. An
explcit Session or scoped_session can be passed to the
constructor, allowing these arguments to be overridden.
- sqlsoup db.<sometable>.update() and delete() now call
query(cls).update() and delete(), respectively.
- sqlsoup now has execute() and connection(), which call upon
the Session methods of those names, ensuring that the bind is
in terms of the SqlSoup object's bind.
- sqlsoup objects no longer have the 'query' attribute - it's
not needed for sqlsoup's usage paradigm and it gets in the
way of a column that is actually named 'query'.
- The signature of the proxy_factory callable passed to
association_proxy is now (lazy_collection, creator,
value_attr, association_proxy), adding a fourth argument
that is the parent AssociationProxy argument. Allows
serializability and subclassing of the built in collections.
[ticket:1259]
- association_proxy now has basic comparator methods .any(),
.has(), .contains(), ==, !=, thanks to Scott Torborg.
[ticket:1372]
- examples
- The "query_cache" examples have been removed, and are replaced
with a fully comprehensive approach that combines the usage of
Beaker with SQLAlchemy. New query options are used to indicate
the caching characteristics of a particular Query, which
can also be invoked deep within an object graph when lazily
loading related objects. See /examples/beaker_caching/README.
0.5.9
=====
- sql
- Fixed erroneous self_group() call in expression package.
[ticket:1661]
0.5.8
=====
- sql
- The copy() method on Column now supports uninitialized,
unnamed Column objects. This allows easy creation of
declarative helpers which place common columns on multiple
subclasses.
- Default generators like Sequence() translate correctly
across a copy() operation.
- Sequence() and other DefaultGenerator objects are accepted
as the value for the "default" and "onupdate" keyword
arguments of Column, in addition to being accepted
positionally.
- Fixed a column arithmetic bug that affected column
correspondence for cloned selectables which contain
free-standing column expressions. This bug is
generally only noticeable when exercising newer
ORM behavior only availble in 0.6 via [ticket:1568],
but is more correct at the SQL expression level
as well. [ticket:1617]
- postgresql
- The extract() function, which was slightly improved in
0.5.7, needed a lot more work to generate the correct
typecast (the typecasts appear to be necessary in PG's
EXTRACT quite a lot of the time). The typecast is
now generated using a rule dictionary based
on PG's documentation for date/time/interval arithmetic.
It also accepts text() constructs again, which was broken
in 0.5.7. [ticket:1647]
- firebird
- Recognize more errors as disconnections. [ticket:1646]
0.5.7
=====
- orm
- contains_eager() now works with the automatically
generated subquery that results when you say
"query(Parent).join(Parent.somejoinedsubclass)", i.e.
when Parent joins to a joined-table-inheritance subclass.
Previously contains_eager() would erroneously add the
subclass table to the query separately producing a
cartesian product. An example is in the ticket
description. [ticket:1543]
- query.options() now only propagate to loaded objects
for potential further sub-loads only for options where
such behavior is relevant, keeping
various unserializable options like those generated
by contains_eager() out of individual instance states.
[ticket:1553]
- Session.execute() now locates table- and
mapper-specific binds based on a passed
in expression which is an insert()/update()/delete()
construct. [ticket:1054]
- Session.merge() now properly overwrites a many-to-one or
uselist=False attribute to None if the attribute
is also None in the given object to be merged.
- Fixed a needless select which would occur when merging
transient objects that contained a null primary key
identifier. [ticket:1618]
- Mutable collection passed to the "extension" attribute
of relation(), column_property() etc. will not be mutated
or shared among multiple instrumentation calls, preventing
duplicate extensions, such as backref populators,
from being inserted into the list.
[ticket:1585]
- Fixed the call to get_committed_value() on CompositeProperty.
[ticket:1504]
- Fixed bug where Query would crash if a join() with no clear
"left" side were called when a non-mapped column entity
appeared in the columns list. [ticket:1602]
- Fixed bug whereby composite columns wouldn't load properly
when configured on a joined-table subclass, introduced in
version 0.5.6 as a result of the fix for [ticket:1480].
[ticket:1616] thx to Scott Torborg.
- The "use get" behavior of many-to-one relations, i.e. that a
lazy load will fallback to the possibly cached query.get()
value, now works across join conditions where the two compared
types are not exactly the same class, but share the same
"affinity" - i.e. Integer and SmallInteger. Also allows
combinations of reflected and non-reflected types to work
with 0.5 style type reflection, such as PGText/Text (note 0.6
reflects types as their generic versions). [ticket:1556]
- Fixed bug in query.update() when passing Cls.attribute
as keys in the value dict and using synchronize_session='expire'
('fetch' in 0.6). [ticket:1436]
- sql
- Fixed bug in two-phase transaction whereby commit() method
didn't set the full state which allows subsequent close()
call to succeed. [ticket:1603]
- Fixed the "numeric" paramstyle, which apparently is the
default paramstyle used by Informixdb.
- Repeat expressions in the columns clause of a select
are deduped based on the identity of each clause element,
not the actual string. This allows positional
elements to render correctly even if they all render
identically, such as "qmark" style bind parameters.
[ticket:1574]
- The cursor associated with connection pool connections
(i.e. _CursorFairy) now proxies `__iter__()` to the
underlying cursor correctly. [ticket:1632]
- types now support an "affinity comparison" operation, i.e.
that an Integer/SmallInteger are "compatible", or
a Text/String, PickleType/Binary, etc. Part of
[ticket:1556].
- Fixed bug preventing alias() of an alias() from being
cloned or adapted (occurs frequently in ORM operations).
[ticket:1641]
- sqlite
- sqlite dialect properly generates CREATE INDEX for a table
that is in an alternate schema. [ticket:1439]
- postgresql
- Added support for reflecting the DOUBLE PRECISION type,
via a new postgres.PGDoublePrecision object.
This is postgresql.DOUBLE_PRECISION in 0.6.
[ticket:1085]
- Added support for reflecting the INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND syntaxes of the INTERVAL
type. [ticket:460]
- Corrected the "has_sequence" query to take current schema,
or explicit sequence-stated schema, into account.
[ticket:1576]
- Fixed the behavior of extract() to apply operator
precedence rules to the "::" operator when applying
the "timestamp" cast - ensures proper parenthesization.
[ticket:1611]
- mssql
- Changed the name of TrustedConnection to
Trusted_Connection when constructing pyodbc connect
arguments [ticket:1561]
- oracle
- The "table_names" dialect function, used by MetaData
.reflect(), omits "index overflow tables", a system
table generated by Oracle when "index only tables"
with overflow are used. These tables aren't accessible
via SQL and can't be reflected. [ticket:1637]
- ext
- A column can be added to a joined-table declarative
superclass after the class has been constructed
(i.e. via class-level attribute assignment), and
the column will be propagated down to
subclasses. [ticket:1570] This is the reverse
situation as that of [ticket:1523], fixed in 0.5.6.
- Fixed a slight inaccuracy in the sharding example.
Comparing equivalence of columns in the ORM is best
accomplished using col1.shares_lineage(col2).
[ticket:1491]
- Removed unused `load()` method from ShardedQuery.
[ticket:1606]

py-sqlalchemy: updated to 1.3.16
1.3.16
orm
[orm] [bug]
Fixed bug in orm.selectinload() loading option where two or more loaders that represent different relationships with the same string key name as referenced from a single orm.with_polymorphic() construct with multiple subclass mappers would fail to invoke each subqueryload separately, instead making use of a single string-based slot that would prevent the other loaders from being invoked.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed issue where a lazyload that uses session-local “get” against a target many-to-one relationship where an object with the correct primary key is present, however it’s an instance of a sibling class, does not correctly return None as is the case when the lazy loader actually emits a load for that row.
[orm] [performance]
Modified the queries used by subqueryload and selectinload to no longer ORDER BY the primary key of the parent entity; this ordering was there to allow the rows as they come in to be copied into lists directly with a minimal level of Python-side collation. However, these ORDER BY clauses can negatively impact the performance of the query as in many scenarios these columns are derived from a subquery or are otherwise not actual primary key columns such that SQL planners cannot make use of indexes. The Python-side collation uses the native itertools.group_by() to collate the incoming rows, and has been modified to allow multiple row-groups-per-parent to be assembled together using list.extend(), which should still allow for relatively fast Python-side performance. There will still be an ORDER BY present for a relationship that includes an explicit order_by parameter, however this is the only ORDER BY that will be added to the query for both kinds of loading.
orm declarative
[bug] [declarative] [orm]
The string argument accepted as the first positional argument by the relationship() function when using the Declarative API is no longer interpreted using the Python eval() function; instead, the name is dot separated and the names are looked up directly in the name resolution dictionary without treating the value as a Python expression. However, passing a string argument to the other relationship() parameters that necessarily must accept Python expressions will still use eval(); the documentation has been clarified to ensure that there is no ambiguity that this is in use.
See also
Evaluation of relationship arguments - details on string evaluation
sql
[sql] [types]
Add ability to literal compile a DateTime, Date or :class:”Time” when using the string dialect for debugging purposes. This change does not impact real dialect implementation that retain their current behavior.
schema
[schema] [reflection]
Added support for reflection of “computed” columns, which are now returned as part of the structure returned by Inspector.get_columns(). When reflecting full Table objects, computed columns will be represented using the Computed construct.
postgresql
[postgresql] [bug]
Fixed issue where a “covering” index, e.g. those which have an INCLUDE clause, would be reflected including all the columns in INCLUDE clause as regular columns. A warning is now emitted if these additional columns are detected indicating that they are currently ignored. Note that full support for “covering” indexes is part of 4458. Pull request courtesy Marat Sharafutdinov.
mysql
[mysql] [bug]
Fixed issue in MySQL dialect when connecting to a psuedo-MySQL database such as that provided by ProxySQL, the up front check for isolation level when it returns no row will not prevent the dialect from continuing to connect. A warning is emitted that the isolation level could not be detected.
sqlite
[sqlite] [usecase]
Implemented AUTOCOMMIT isolation level for SQLite when using pysqlite.
mssql
[mssql] [usecase] [mysql] [oracle]
Added support for ColumnOperators.is_distinct_from() and ColumnOperators.isnot_distinct_from() to SQL Server, MySQL, and Oracle.
oracle
[oracle] [usecase]
Implemented AUTOCOMMIT isolation level for Oracle when using cx_Oracle. Also added a fixed default isolation level of READ COMMITTED for Oracle.
[oracle] [bug] [reflection]
Fixed regression / incorrect fix caused by fix for 5146 where the Oracle dialect reads from the “all_tab_comments” view to get table comments but fails to accommodate for the current owner of the table being requested, causing it to read the wrong comment if multiple tables of the same name exist in multiple schemas.
misc
[bug] [tests]
Fixed an issue that prevented the test suite from running with the recently released py.test 5.4.0.
[enum] [types]
The Enum type now supports the parameter Enum.length to specify the length of the VARCHAR column to create when using non native enums by setting Enum.native_enum to False
[installer]
Ensured that the “pyproject.toml” file is not included in builds, as the presence of this file indicates to pip that a pep-517 installation process should be used. As this mode of operation appears to be not well supported by current tools / distros, these problems are avoided within the scope of SQLAlchemy installation by omitting the file.
1.3.15
orm
[orm] [bug]
Adjusted the error message emitted by Query.join() when a left hand side can’t be located that the Query.select_from() method is the best way to resolve the issue. Also, within the 1.3 series, used a deterministic ordering when determining the FROM clause from a given column entity passed to Query so that the same expression is determined each time.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed regression in 1.3.14 due to 4849 where a sys.exc_info() call failed to be invoked correctly when a flush error would occur. Test coverage has been added for this exception case.
1.3.14
general
[general] [bug] [py3k]
Applied an explicit “cause” to most if not all internally raised exceptions that are raised from within an internal exception catch, to avoid misleading stacktraces that suggest an error within the handling of an exception. While it would be preferable to suppress the internally caught exception in the way that the __suppress_context__ attribute would, there does not as yet seem to be a way to do this without suppressing an enclosing user constructed context, so for now it exposes the internally caught exception as the cause so that full information about the context of the error is maintained.
orm
[orm] [usecase]
Added a new flag InstanceEvents.restore_load_context and SessionEvents.restore_load_context which apply to the InstanceEvents.load(), InstanceEvents.refresh(), and SessionEvents.loaded_as_persistent() events, which when set will restore the “load context” of the object after the event hook has been called. This ensures that the object remains within the “loader context” of the load operation that is already ongoing, rather than the object being transferred to a new load context due to refresh operations which may have occurred in the event. A warning is now emitted when this condition occurs, which recommends use of the flag to resolve this case. The flag is “opt-in” so that there is no risk introduced to existing applications.
The change additionally adds support for the raw=True flag to session lifecycle events.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed regression caused in 1.3.13 by 5056 where a refactor of the ORM path registry system made it such that a path could no longer be compared to an empty tuple, which can occur in a particular kind of joined eager loading path. The “empty tuple” use case has been resolved so that the path registry is compared to a path registry in all cases; the PathRegistry object itself now implements __eq__() and __ne__() methods which will take place for all equality comparisons and continue to succeed in the not anticipated case that a non- PathRegistry object is compared, while emitting a warning that this object should not be the subject of the comparison.
[orm] [bug]
Setting a relationship to viewonly=True which is also the target of a back_populates or backref configuration will now emit a warning and eventually be disallowed. back_populates refers specifically to mutation of an attribute or collection, which is disallowed when the attribute is subject to viewonly=True. The viewonly attribute is not subject to persistence behaviors which means it will not reflect correct results when it is locally mutated.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed an additional regression in the same area as that of 5080 introduced in 1.3.0b3 via 4468 where the ability to create a joined option across a with_polymorphic() into a relationship against the base class of that with_polymorphic, and then further into regular mapped relationships would fail as the base class component would not add itself to the load path in a way that could be located by the loader strategy. The changes applied in 5080 have been further refined to also accommodate this scenario.
engine
[engine] [bug]
Expanded the scope of cursor/connection cleanup when a statement is executed to include when the result object fails to be constructed, or an after_cursor_execute() event raises an error, or autocommit / autoclose fails. This allows the DBAPI cursor to be cleaned up on failure and for connectionless execution allows the connection to be closed out and returned to the connection pool, where previously it waiting until garbage collection would trigger a pool return.
sql
[sql] [bug] [postgresql]
Fixed bug where a CTE of an INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE that also uses RETURNING could then not be SELECTed from directly, as the internal state of the compiler would try to treat the outer SELECT as a DELETE statement itself and access nonexistent state.
postgresql
[postgresql] [bug]
Fixed issue where the “schema_translate_map” feature would not work with a PostgreSQL native enumeration type (i.e. Enum, postgresql.ENUM) in that while the “CREATE TYPE” statement would be emitted with the correct schema, the schema would not be rendered in the CREATE TABLE statement at the point at which the enumeration was referenced.
[postgresql] [bug] [reflection]
Fixed bug where PostgreSQL reflection of CHECK constraints would fail to parse the constraint if the SQL text contained newline characters. The regular expression has been adjusted to accommodate for this case. Pull request courtesy Eric Borczuk.
mysql
[mysql] [bug]
Fixed issue in MySQL mysql.Insert.on_duplicate_key_update() construct where using a SQL function or other composed expression for a column argument would not properly render the VALUES keyword surrounding the column itself.
mssql
[mssql] [bug]
Fixed issue where the mssql.DATETIMEOFFSET type would not accommodate for the None value, introduced as part of the series of fixes for this type first introduced in 4983, 5045. Additionally, added support for passing a backend-specific date formatted string through this type, as is typically allowed for date/time types on most other DBAPIs.
oracle
[oracle] [bug]
Fixed a reflection bug where table comments could only be retrieved for tables actually owned by the user but not for tables visible to the user but owned by someone else. Pull request courtesy Dave Hirschfeld.
misc
[usecase] [ext]
Added keyword arguments to the MutableList.sort() function so that a key function as well as the “reverse” keyword argument can be provided.
[bug] [performance]
Revised an internal change to the test system added as a result of 5085 where a testing-related module per dialect would be loaded unconditionally upon making use of that dialect, pulling in SQLAlchemy’s testing framework as well as the ORM into the module import space. This would only impact initial startup time and memory to a modest extent, however it’s best that these additional modules aren’t reverse-dependent on straight Core usage.
[bug] [installation]
Vendored the inspect.formatannotation function inside of sqlalchemy.util.compat, which is needed for the vendored version of inspect.formatargspec. The function is not documented in cPython and is not guaranteed to be available in future Python versions.

Update SQLalchemy to version 0.6.0.
Changes since 0.5.6:
0.6.0
=====
- orm
- Unit of work internals have been rewritten. Units of work
with large numbers of objects interdependent objects
can now be flushed without recursion overflows
as there is no longer reliance upon recursive calls
[ticket:1081]. The number of internal structures now stays
constant for a particular session state, regardless of
how many relationships are present on mappings. The flow
of events now corresponds to a linear list of steps,
generated by the mappers and relationships based on actual
work to be done, filtered through a single topological sort
for correct ordering. Flush actions are assembled using
far fewer steps and less memory. [ticket:1742]
- Along with the UOW rewrite, this also removes an issue
introduced in 0.6beta3 regarding topological cycle detection
for units of work with long dependency cycles. We now use
an algorithm written by Guido (thanks Guido!).
- one-to-many relationships now maintain a list of positive
parent-child associations within the flush, preventing
previous parents marked as deleted from cascading a
delete or NULL foreign key set on those child objects,
despite the end-user not removing the child from the old
association. [ticket:1764]
- A collection lazy load will switch off default
eagerloading on the reverse many-to-one side, since
that loading is by definition unnecessary. [ticket:1495]
- Session.refresh() now does an equivalent expire()
on the given instance first, so that the "refresh-expire"
cascade is propagated. Previously, refresh() was
not affected in any way by the presence of "refresh-expire"
cascade. This is a change in behavior versus that
of 0.6beta2, where the "lockmode" flag passed to refresh()
would cause a version check to occur. Since the instance
is first expired, refresh() always upgrades the object
to the most recent version.
- The 'refresh-expire' cascade, when reaching a pending object,
will expunge the object if the cascade also includes
"delete-orphan", or will simply detach it otherwise.
[ticket:1754]
- id(obj) is no longer used internally within topological.py,
as the sorting functions now require hashable objects
only. [ticket:1756]
- The ORM will set the docstring of all generated descriptors
to None by default. This can be overridden using 'doc'
(or if using Sphinx, attribute docstrings work too).
- Added kw argument 'doc' to all mapper property callables
as well as Column(). Will assemble the string 'doc' as
the '__doc__' attribute on the descriptor.
- Usage of version_id_col on a backend that supports
cursor.rowcount for execute() but not executemany() now works
when a delete is issued (already worked for saves, since those
don't use executemany()). For a backend that doesn't support
cursor.rowcount at all, a warning is emitted the same
as with saves. [ticket:1761]
- The ORM now short-term caches the "compiled" form of
insert() and update() constructs when flushing lists of
objects of all the same class, thereby avoiding redundant
compilation per individual INSERT/UPDATE within an
individual flush() call.
- internal getattr(), setattr(), getcommitted() methods
on ColumnProperty, CompositeProperty, RelationshipProperty
have been underscored (i.e. are private), signature has
changed.
- engines
- The C extension now also works with DBAPIs which use custom
sequences as row (and not only tuples). [ticket:1757]
- sql
- Restored some bind-labeling logic from 0.5 which ensures
that tables with column names that overlap another column
of the form "<tablename>_<columnname>" won't produce
errors if column._label is used as a bind name during
an UPDATE. Test coverage which wasn't present in 0.5
has been added. [ticket:1755]
- somejoin.select(fold_equivalents=True) is no longer
deprecated, and will eventually be rolled into a more
comprehensive version of the feature for [ticket:1729].
- the Numeric type raises an *enormous* warning when expected
to convert floats to Decimal from a DBAPI that returns floats.
This includes SQLite, Sybase, MS-SQL. [ticket:1759]
- Fixed an error in expression typing which caused an endless
loop for expressions with two NULL types.
- Fixed bug in execution_options() feature whereby the existing
Transaction and other state information from the parent
connection would not be propagated to the sub-connection.
- Added new 'compiled_cache' execution option. A dictionary
where Compiled objects will be cached when the Connection
compiles a clause expression into a dialect- and parameter-
specific Compiled object. It is the user's responsibility to
manage the size of this dictionary, which will have keys
corresponding to the dialect, clause element, the column
names within the VALUES or SET clause of an INSERT or UPDATE,
as well as the "batch" mode for an INSERT or UPDATE statement.
- Added get_pk_constraint() to reflection.Inspector, similar
to get_primary_keys() except returns a dict that includes the
name of the constraint, for supported backends (PG so far).
[ticket:1769]
- Table.create() and Table.drop() no longer apply metadata-
level create/drop events. [ticket:1771]
- ext
- the compiler extension now allows @compiles decorators
on base classes that extend to child classes, @compiles
decorators on child classes that aren't broken by a
@compiles decorator on the base class.
- Declarative will raise an informative error message
if a non-mapped class attribute is referenced in the
string-based relationship() arguments.
- Further reworked the "mixin" logic in declarative to
additionally allow __mapper_args__ as a @classproperty
on a mixin, such as to dynamically assign polymorphic_identity.
- postgresql
- Postgresql now reflects sequence names associated with
SERIAL columns correctly, after the name of of the sequence
has been changed. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the patch.
[ticket:1071]
- Repaired missing import in psycopg2._PGNumeric type when
unknown numeric is received.
- psycopg2/pg8000 dialects now aware of REAL[], FLOAT[],
DOUBLE_PRECISION[], NUMERIC[] return types without
raising an exception.
- Postgresql reflects the name of primary key constraints,
if one exists. [ticket:1769]
- oracle
- Now using cx_oracle output converters so that the
DBAPI returns natively the kinds of values we prefer:
- NUMBER values with positive precision + scale convert
to cx_oracle.STRING and then to Decimal. This
allows perfect precision for the Numeric type when
using cx_oracle. [ticket:1759]
- STRING/FIXED_CHAR now convert to unicode natively.
SQLAlchemy's String types then don't need to
apply any kind of conversions.
- firebird
- The functionality of result.rowcount can be disabled on a
per-engine basis by setting 'enable_rowcount=False'
on create_engine(). Normally, cursor.rowcount is called
after any UPDATE or DELETE statement unconditionally,
because the cursor is then closed and Firebird requires
an open cursor in order to get a rowcount. This
call is slightly expensive however so it can be disabled.
To re-enable on a per-execution basis, the
'enable_rowcount=True' execution option may be used.
- examples
- Updated attribute_shard.py example to use a more robust
method of searching a Query for binary expressions which
compare columns against literal values.
0.6beta3
========
- orm
- Major feature: Added new "subquery" loading capability to
relationship(). This is an eager loading option which
generates a second SELECT for each collection represented
in a query, across all parents at once. The query
re-issues the original end-user query wrapped in a subquery,
applies joins out to the target collection, and loads
all those collections fully in one result, similar to
"joined" eager loading but using all inner joins and not
re-fetching full parent rows repeatedly (as most DBAPIs seem
to do, even if columns are skipped). Subquery loading is
available at mapper config level using "lazy='subquery'" and
at the query options level using "subqueryload(props..)",
"subqueryload_all(props...)". [ticket:1675]
- To accomodate the fact that there are now two kinds of eager
loading available, the new names for eagerload() and
eagerload_all() are joinedload() and joinedload_all(). The
old names will remain as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- The "lazy" flag on the relationship() function now accepts
a string argument for all kinds of loading: "select", "joined",
"subquery", "noload" and "dynamic", where the default is now
"select". The old values of True/
False/None still retain their usual meanings and will remain
as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- Added with_hint() method to Query() construct. This calls
directly down to select().with_hint() and also accepts
entities as well as tables and aliases. See with_hint() in the
SQL section below. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug in Query whereby calling q.join(prop).from_self(...).
join(prop) would fail to render the second join outside the
subquery, when joining on the same criterion as was on the
inside.
- Fixed bug in Query whereby the usage of aliased() constructs
would fail if the underlying table (but not the actual alias)
were referenced inside the subquery generated by
q.from_self() or q.select_from().
- Fixed bug which affected all eagerload() and similar options
such that "remote" eager loads, i.e. eagerloads off of a lazy
load such as query(A).options(eagerload(A.b, B.c))
wouldn't eagerload anything, but using eagerload("b.c") would
work fine.
- Query gains an add_columns(*columns) method which is a multi-
version of add_column(col). add_column(col) is future
deprecated.
- Query.join() will detect if the end result will be
"FROM A JOIN A", and will raise an error if so.
- Query.join(Cls.propname, from_joinpoint=True) will check more
carefully that "Cls" is compatible with the current joinpoint,
and act the same way as Query.join("propname", from_joinpoint=True)
in that regard.
- sql
- Added with_hint() method to select() construct. Specify
a table/alias, hint text, and optional dialect name, and
"hints" will be rendered in the appropriate place in the
statement. Works for Oracle, Sybase, MySQL. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug introduced in 0.6beta2 where column labels would
render inside of column expressions already assigned a label.
[ticket:1747]
- postgresql
- The psycopg2 dialect will log NOTICE messages via the
"sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql" logger name.
[ticket:877]
- the TIME and TIMESTAMP types are now availble from the
postgresql dialect directly, which add the PG-specific
argument 'precision' to both. 'precision' and
'timezone' are correctly reflected for both TIME and
TIMEZONE types. [ticket:997]
- mysql
- No longer guessing that TINYINT(1) should be BOOLEAN
when reflecting - TINYINT(1) is returned. Use Boolean/
BOOLEAN in table definition to get boolean conversion
behavior. [ticket:1752]
- oracle
- The Oracle dialect will issue VARCHAR type definitions
using character counts, i.e. VARCHAR2(50 CHAR), so that
the column is sized in terms of characters and not bytes.
Column reflection of character types will also use
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.CHAR_LENGTH instead of
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.DATA_LENGTH. Both of these behaviors take
effect when the server version is 9 or higher - for
version 8, the old behaviors are used. [ticket:1744]
- declarative
- Using a mixin won't break if the mixin implements an
unpredictable __getattribute__(), i.e. Zope interfaces.
[ticket:1746]
- Using @classdecorator and similar on mixins to define
__tablename__, __table_args__, etc. now works if
the method references attributes on the ultimate
subclass. [ticket:1749]
- relationships and columns with foreign keys aren't
allowed on declarative mixins, sorry. [ticket:1751]
- ext
- The sqlalchemy.orm.shard module now becomes an extension,
sqlalchemy.ext.horizontal_shard. The old import
works with a deprecation warning.
0.6beta2
========
- py3k
- Improved the installation/test setup regarding Python 3,
now that Distribute runs on Py3k. distribute_setup.py
is now included. See README.py3k for Python 3 installation/
testing instructions.
- orm
- The official name for the relation() function is now
relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational
algebra term. relation() however will remain available
in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
- Added "version_id_generator" argument to Mapper, this is a
callable that, given the current value of the "version_id_col",
returns the next version number. Can be used for alternate
versioning schemes such as uuid, timestamps. [ticket:1692]
- added "lockmode" kw argument to Session.refresh(), will
pass through the string value to Query the same as
in with_lockmode(), will also do version check for a
version_id_col-enabled mapping.
- Fixed bug whereby calling query(A).join(A.bs).add_entity(B)
in a joined inheritance scenario would double-add B as a
target and produce an invalid query. [ticket:1188]
- Fixed bug in session.rollback() which involved not removing
formerly "pending" objects from the session before
re-integrating "deleted" objects, typically occured with
natural primary keys. If there was a primary key conflict
between them, the attach of the deleted would fail
internally. The formerly "pending" objects are now expunged
first. [ticket:1674]
- Removed a lot of logging that nobody really cares about,
logging that remains will respond to live changes in the
log level. No significant overhead is added. [ticket:1719]
- Fixed bug in session.merge() which prevented dict-like
collections from merging.
- session.merge() works with relations that specifically
don't include "merge" in their cascade options - the target
is ignored completely.
- session.merge() will not expire existing scalar attributes
on an existing target if the target has a value for that
attribute, even if the incoming merged doesn't have
a value for the attribute. This prevents unnecessary loads
on existing items. Will still mark the attr as expired
if the destination doesn't have the attr, though, which
fulfills some contracts of deferred cols. [ticket:1681]
- The "allow_null_pks" flag is now called "allow_partial_pks",
defaults to True, acts like it did in 0.5 again. Except,
it also is implemented within merge() such that a SELECT
won't be issued for an incoming instance with partially
NULL primary key if the flag is False. [ticket:1680]
- Fixed bug in 0.6-reworked "many-to-one" optimizations
such that a many-to-one that is against a non-primary key
column on the remote table (i.e. foreign key against a
UNIQUE column) will pull the "old" value in from the
database during a change, since if it's in the session
we will need it for proper history/backref accounting,
and we can't pull from the local identity map on a
non-primary key column. [ticket:1737]
- fixed internal error which would occur if calling has()
or similar complex expression on a single-table inheritance
relation(). [ticket:1731]
- query.one() no longer applies LIMIT to the query, this to
ensure that it fully counts all object identities present
in the result, even in the case where joins may conceal
multiple identities for two or more rows. As a bonus,
one() can now also be called with a query that issued
from_statement() to start with since it no longer modifies
the query. [ticket:1688]
- query.get() now returns None if queried for an identifier
that is present in the identity map with a different class
than the one requested, i.e. when using polymorphic loading.
[ticket:1727]
- A major fix in query.join(), when the "on" clause is an
attribute of an aliased() construct, but there is already
an existing join made out to a compatible target, query properly
joins to the right aliased() construct instead of sticking
onto the right side of the existing join. [ticket:1706]
- Slight improvement to the fix for [ticket:1362] to not issue
needless updates of the primary key column during a so-called
"row switch" operation, i.e. add + delete of two objects
with the same PK.
- Now uses sqlalchemy.orm.exc.DetachedInstanceError when an
attribute load or refresh action fails due to object
being detached from any Session. UnboundExecutionError
is specific to engines bound to sessions and statements.
- Query called in the context of an expression will render
disambiguating labels in all cases. Note that this does
not apply to the existing .statement and .subquery()
accessor/method, which still honors the .with_labels()
setting that defaults to False.
- Query.union() retains disambiguating labels within the
returned statement, thus avoiding various SQL composition
errors which can result from column name conflicts.
[ticket:1676]
- Fixed bug in attribute history that inadvertently invoked
__eq__ on mapped instances.
- Some internal streamlining of object loading grants a
small speedup for large results, estimates are around
10-15%. Gave the "state" internals a good solid
cleanup with less complexity, datamembers,
method calls, blank dictionary creates.
- Documentation clarification for query.delete()
[ticket:1689]
- Fixed cascade bug in many-to-one relation() when attribute
was set to None, introduced in r6711 (cascade deleted
items into session during add()).
- Calling query.order_by() or query.distinct() before calling
query.select_from(), query.with_polymorphic(), or
query.from_statement() raises an exception now instead of
silently dropping those criterion. [ticket:1736]
- query.scalar() now raises an exception if more than one
row is returned. All other behavior remains the same.
[ticket:1735]
- Fixed bug which caused "row switch" logic, that is an
INSERT and DELETE replaced by an UPDATE, to fail when
version_id_col was in use. [ticket:1692]
- sql
- join() will now simulate a NATURAL JOIN by default. Meaning,
if the left side is a join, it will attempt to join the right
side to the rightmost side of the left first, and not raise
any exceptions about ambiguous join conditions if successful
even if there are further join targets across the rest of
the left. [ticket:1714]
- The most common result processors conversion function were
moved to the new "processors" module. Dialect authors are
encouraged to use those functions whenever they correspond
to their needs instead of implementing custom ones.
- SchemaType and subclasses Boolean, Enum are now serializable,
including their ddl listener and other event callables.
[ticket:1694] [ticket:1698]
- Some platforms will now interpret certain literal values
as non-bind parameters, rendered literally into the SQL
statement. This to support strict SQL-92 rules that are
enforced by some platforms including MS-SQL and Sybase.
In this model, bind parameters aren't allowed in the
columns clause of a SELECT, nor are certain ambiguous
expressions like "?=?". When this mode is enabled, the base
compiler will render the binds as inline literals, but only across
strings and numeric values. Other types such as dates
will raise an error, unless the dialect subclass defines
a literal rendering function for those. The bind parameter
must have an embedded literal value already or an error
is raised (i.e. won't work with straight bindparam('x')).
Dialects can also expand upon the areas where binds are not
accepted, such as within argument lists of functions
(which don't work on MS-SQL when native SQL binding is used).
- Added "unicode_errors" parameter to String, Unicode, etc.
Behaves like the 'errors' keyword argument to
the standard library's string.decode() functions. This flag
requires that `convert_unicode` is set to `"force"` - otherwise,
SQLAlchemy is not guaranteed to handle the task of unicode
conversion. Note that this flag adds significant performance
overhead to row-fetching operations for backends that already
return unicode objects natively (which most DBAPIs do). This
flag should only be used as an absolute last resort for reading
strings from a column with varied or corrupted encodings,
which only applies to databases that accept invalid encodings
in the first place (i.e. MySQL. *not* PG, Sqlite, etc.)
- Added math negation operator support, -x.
- FunctionElement subclasses are now directly executable the
same way any func.foo() construct is, with automatic
SELECT being applied when passed to execute().
- The "type" and "bind" keyword arguments of a func.foo()
construct are now local to "func." constructs and are
not part of the FunctionElement base class, allowing
a "type" to be handled in a custom constructor or
class-level variable.
- Restored the keys() method to ResultProxy.
- The type/expression system now does a more complete job
of determining the return type from an expression
as well as the adaptation of the Python operator into
a SQL operator, based on the full left/right/operator
of the given expression. In particular
the date/time/interval system created for Postgresql
EXTRACT in [ticket:1647] has now been generalized into
the type system. The previous behavior which often
occured of an expression "column + literal" forcing
the type of "literal" to be the same as that of "column"
will now usually not occur - the type of
"literal" is first derived from the Python type of the
literal, assuming standard native Python types + date
types, before falling back to that of the known type
on the other side of the expression. If the
"fallback" type is compatible (i.e. CHAR from String),
the literal side will use that. TypeDecorator
types override this by default to coerce the "literal"
side unconditionally, which can be changed by implementing
the coerce_compared_value() method. Also part of
[ticket:1683].
- Made sqlalchemy.sql.expressions.Executable part of public
API, used for any expression construct that can be sent to
execute(). FunctionElement now inherits Executable so that
it gains execution_options(), which are also propagated
to the select() that's generated within execute().
Executable in turn subclasses _Generative which marks
any ClauseElement that supports the @_generative
decorator - these may also become "public" for the benefit
of the compiler extension at some point.
- A change to the solution for [ticket:1579] - an end-user
defined bind parameter name that directly conflicts with
a column-named bind generated directly from the SET or
VALUES clause of an update/insert generates a compile error.
This reduces call counts and eliminates some cases where
undesirable name conflicts could still occur.
- Column() requires a type if it has no foreign keys (this is
not new). An error is now raised if a Column() has no type
and no foreign keys. [ticket:1705]
- the "scale" argument of the Numeric() type is honored when
coercing a returned floating point value into a string
on its way to Decimal - this allows accuracy to function
on SQLite, MySQL. [ticket:1717]
- the copy() method of Column now copies over uninitialized
"on table attach" events. Helps with the new declarative
"mixin" capability.
- engines
- Added an optional C extension to speed up the sql layer by
reimplementing RowProxy and the most common result processors.
The actual speedups will depend heavily on your DBAPI and
the mix of datatypes used in your tables, and can vary from
a 30% improvement to more than 200%. It also provides a modest
(~15-20%) indirect improvement to ORM speed for large queries.
Note that it is *not* built/installed by default.
See README for installation instructions.
- the execution sequence pulls all rowcount/last inserted ID
info from the cursor before commit() is called on the
DBAPI connection in an "autocommit" scenario. This helps
mxodbc with rowcount and is probably a good idea overall.
- Opened up logging a bit such that isEnabledFor() is called
more often, so that changes to the log level for engine/pool
will be reflected on next connect. This adds a small
amount of method call overhead. It's negligible and will make
life a lot easier for all those situations when logging
just happens to be configured after create_engine() is called.
[ticket:1719]
- The assert_unicode flag is deprecated. SQLAlchemy will raise
a warning in all cases where it is asked to encode a non-unicode
Python string, as well as when a Unicode or UnicodeType type
is explicitly passed a bytestring. The String type will do nothing
for DBAPIs that already accept Python unicode objects.
- Bind parameters are sent as a tuple instead of a list. Some
backend drivers will not accept bind parameters as a list.
- threadlocal engine wasn't properly closing the connection
upon close() - fixed that.
- Transaction object doesn't rollback or commit if it isn't
"active", allows more accurate nesting of begin/rollback/commit.
- Python unicode objects as binds result in the Unicode type,
not string, thus eliminating a certain class of unicode errors
on drivers that don't support unicode binds.
- Added "logging_name" argument to create_engine(), Pool() constructor
as well as "pool_logging_name" argument to create_engine() which
filters down to that of Pool. Issues the given string name
within the "name" field of logging messages instead of the default
hex identifier string. [ticket:1555]
- The visit_pool() method of Dialect is removed, and replaced with
on_connect(). This method returns a callable which receives
the raw DBAPI connection after each one is created. The callable
is assembled into a first_connect/connect pool listener by the
connection strategy if non-None. Provides a simpler interface
for dialects.
- StaticPool now initializes, disposes and recreates without
opening a new connection - the connection is only opened when
first requested. dispose() also works on AssertionPool now.
[ticket:1728]
- metadata
- Added the ability to strip schema information when using
"tometadata" by passing "schema=None" as an argument. If schema
is not specified then the table's schema is retained.
[ticket: 1673]
- declarative
- DeclarativeMeta exclusively uses cls.__dict__ (not dict_)
as the source of class information; _as_declarative exclusively
uses the dict_ passed to it as the source of class information
(which when using DeclarativeMeta is cls.__dict__). This should
in theory make it easier for custom metaclasses to modify
the state passed into _as_declarative.
- declarative now accepts mixin classes directly, as a means
to provide common functional and column-based elements on
all subclasses, as well as a means to propagate a fixed
set of __table_args__ or __mapper_args__ to subclasses.
For custom combinations of __table_args__/__mapper_args__ from
an inherited mixin to local, descriptors can now be used.
New details are all up in the Declarative documentation.
Thanks to Chris Withers for putting up with my strife
on this. [ticket:1707]
- the __mapper_args__ dict is copied when propagating to a subclass,
and is taken straight off the class __dict__ to avoid any
propagation from the parent. mapper inheritance already
propagates the things you want from the parent mapper.
[ticket:1393]
- An exception is raised when a single-table subclass specifies
a column that is already present on the base class.
[ticket:1732]
- mysql
- Fixed reflection bug whereby when COLLATE was present,
nullable flag and server defaults would not be reflected.
[ticket:1655]
- Fixed reflection of TINYINT(1) "boolean" columns defined with
integer flags like UNSIGNED.
- Further fixes for the mysql-connector dialect. [ticket:1668]
- Composite PK table on InnoDB where the "autoincrement" column
isn't first will emit an explicit "KEY" phrase within
CREATE TABLE thereby avoiding errors, [ticket:1496]
- Added reflection/create table support for a wide range
of MySQL keywords. [ticket:1634]
- Fixed import error which could occur reflecting tables on
a Windows host [ticket:1580]
- mssql
- Re-established support for the pymssql dialect.
- Various fixes for implicit returning, reflection,
etc. - the MS-SQL dialects aren't quite complete
in 0.6 yet (but are close)
- Added basic support for mxODBC [ticket:1710].
- Removed the text_as_varchar option.
- oracle
- "out" parameters require a type that is supported by
cx_oracle. An error will be raised if no cx_oracle
type can be found.
- Oracle 'DATE' now does not perform any result processing,
as the DATE type in Oracle stores full date+time objects,
that's what you'll get. Note that the generic types.Date
type *will* still call value.date() on incoming values,
however. When reflecting a table, the reflected type
will be 'DATE'.
- Added preliminary support for Oracle's WITH_UNICODE
mode. At the very least this establishes initial
support for cx_Oracle with Python 3. When WITH_UNICODE
mode is used in Python 2.xx, a large and scary warning
is emitted asking that the user seriously consider
the usage of this difficult mode of operation.
[ticket:1670]
- The except_() method now renders as MINUS on Oracle,
which is more or less equivalent on that platform.
[ticket:1712]
- Added support for rendering and reflecting
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, i.e. TIMESTAMP(timezone=True).
[ticket:651]
- Oracle INTERVAL type can now be reflected.
- sqlite
- Added "native_datetime=True" flag to create_engine().
This will cause the DATE and TIMESTAMP types to skip
all bind parameter and result row processing, under
the assumption that PARSE_DECLTYPES has been enabled
on the connection. Note that this is not entirely
compatible with the "func.current_date()", which
will be returned as a string. [ticket:1685]
- sybase
- Implemented a preliminary working dialect for Sybase,
with sub-implementations for Python-Sybase as well
as Pyodbc. Handles table
creates/drops and basic round trip functionality.
Does not yet include reflection or comprehensive
support of unicode/special expressions/etc.
- examples
- Changed the beaker cache example a bit to have a separate
RelationCache option for lazyload caching. This object
does a lookup among any number of potential attributes
more efficiently by grouping several into a common structure.
Both FromCache and RelationCache are simpler individually.
- documentation
- Major cleanup work in the docs to link class, function, and
method names into the API docs. [ticket:1700/1702/1703]
0.6beta1
========
- Major Release
- For the full set of feature descriptions, see
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/06Migration .
This document is a work in progress.
- All bug fixes and feature enhancements from the most
recent 0.5 version and below are also included within 0.6.
- Platforms targeted now include Python 2.4/2.5/2.6, Python
3.1, Jython2.5.
- orm
- Changes to query.update() and query.delete():
- the 'expire' option on query.update() has been renamed to
'fetch', thus matching that of query.delete().
'expire' is deprecated and issues a warning.
- query.update() and query.delete() both default to
'evaluate' for the synchronize strategy.
- the 'synchronize' strategy for update() and delete()
raises an error on failure. There is no implicit fallback
onto "fetch". Failure of evaluation is based on the
structure of criteria, so success/failure is deterministic
based on code structure.
- Enhancements on many-to-one relations:
- many-to-one relations now fire off a lazyload in fewer
cases, including in most cases will not fetch the "old"
value when a new one is replaced.
- many-to-one relation to a joined-table subclass now uses
get() for a simple load (known as the "use_get"
condition), i.e. Related->Sub(Base), without the need to
redefine the primaryjoin condition in terms of the base
table. [ticket:1186]
- specifying a foreign key with a declarative column, i.e.
ForeignKey(MyRelatedClass.id) doesn't break the "use_get"
condition from taking place [ticket:1492]
- relation(), eagerload(), and eagerload_all() now feature
an option called "innerjoin". Specify `True` or `False` to
control whether an eager join is constructed as an INNER
or OUTER join. Default is `False` as always. The mapper
options will override whichever setting is specified on
relation(). Should generally be set for many-to-one, not
nullable foreign key relations to allow improved join
performance. [ticket:1544]
- the behavior of eagerloading such that the main query is
wrapped in a subquery when LIMIT/OFFSET are present now
makes an exception for the case when all eager loads are
many-to-one joins. In those cases, the eager joins are
against the parent table directly along with the
limit/offset without the extra overhead of a subquery,
since a many-to-one join does not add rows to the result.
- Enhancements / Changes on Session.merge():
- the "dont_load=True" flag on Session.merge() is deprecated
and is now "load=False".
- Session.merge() is performance optimized, using half the
call counts for "load=False" mode compared to 0.5 and
significantly fewer SQL queries in the case of collections
for "load=True" mode.
- merge() will not issue a needless merge of attributes if the
given instance is the same instance which is already present.
- merge() now also merges the "options" associated with a given
state, i.e. those passed through query.options() which follow
along with an instance, such as options to eagerly- or
lazyily- load various attributes. This is essential for
the construction of highly integrated caching schemes. This
is a subtle behavioral change vs. 0.5.
- A bug was fixed regarding the serialization of the "loader
path" present on an instance's state, which is also necessary
when combining the usage of merge() with serialized state
and associated options that should be preserved.
- The all new merge() is showcased in a new comprehensive
example of how to integrate Beaker with SQLAlchemy. See
the notes in the "examples" note below.
- Primary key values can now be changed on a joined-table inheritance
object, and ON UPDATE CASCADE will be taken into account when
the flush happens. Set the new "passive_updates" flag to False
on mapper() when using SQLite or MySQL/MyISAM. [ticket:1362]
- flush() now detects when a primary key column was updated by
an ON UPDATE CASCADE operation from another primary key, and
can then locate the row for a subsequent UPDATE on the new PK
value. This occurs when a relation() is there to establish
the relationship as well as passive_updates=True. [ticket:1671]
- the "save-update" cascade will now cascade the pending *removed*
values from a scalar or collection attribute into the new session
during an add() operation. This so that the flush() operation
will also delete or modify rows of those disconnected items.
- Using a "dynamic" loader with a "secondary" table now produces
a query where the "secondary" table is *not* aliased. This
allows the secondary Table object to be used in the "order_by"
attribute of the relation(), and also allows it to be used
in filter criterion against the dynamic relation.
[ticket:1531]
- relation() with uselist=False will emit a warning when
an eager or lazy load locates more than one valid value for
the row. This may be due to primaryjoin/secondaryjoin
conditions which aren't appropriate for an eager LEFT OUTER
JOIN or for other conditions. [ticket:1643]
- an explicit check occurs when a synonym() is used with
map_column=True, when a ColumnProperty (deferred or otherwise)
exists separately in the properties dictionary sent to mapper
with the same keyname. Instead of silently replacing
the existing property (and possible options on that property),
an error is raised. [ticket:1633]
- a "dynamic" loader sets up its query criterion at construction
time so that the actual query is returned from non-cloning
accessors like "statement".
- the "named tuple" objects returned when iterating a
Query() are now pickleable.
- mapping to a select() construct now requires that you
make an alias() out of it distinctly. This to eliminate
confusion over such issues as [ticket:1542]
- query.join() has been reworked to provide more consistent
behavior and more flexibility (includes [ticket:1537])
- query.select_from() accepts multiple clauses to produce
multiple comma separated entries within the FROM clause.
Useful when selecting from multiple-homed join() clauses.
- query.select_from() also accepts mapped classes, aliased()
constructs, and mappers as arguments. In particular this
helps when querying from multiple joined-table classes to ensure
the full join gets rendered.
- query.get() can be used with a mapping to an outer join
where one or more of the primary key values are None.
[ticket:1135]
- query.from_self(), query.union(), others which do a
"SELECT * from (SELECT...)" type of nesting will do
a better job translating column expressions within the subquery
to the columns clause of the outer query. This is
potentially backwards incompatible with 0.5, in that this
may break queries with literal expressions that do not have labels
applied (i.e. literal('foo'), etc.)
[ticket:1568]
- relation primaryjoin and secondaryjoin now check that they
are column-expressions, not just clause elements. this prohibits
things like FROM expressions being placed there directly.
[ticket:1622]
- `expression.null()` is fully understood the same way
None is when comparing an object/collection-referencing
attribute within query.filter(), filter_by(), etc.
[ticket:1415]
- added "make_transient()" helper function which transforms a
persistent/ detached instance into a transient one (i.e.
deletes the instance_key and removes from any session.)
[ticket:1052]
- the allow_null_pks flag on mapper() is deprecated, and
the feature is turned "on" by default. This means that
a row which has a non-null value for any of its primary key
columns will be considered an identity. The need for this
scenario typically only occurs when mapping to an outer join.
[ticket:1339]
- the mechanics of "backref" have been fully merged into the
finer grained "back_populates" system, and take place entirely
within the _generate_backref() method of RelationProperty. This
makes the initialization procedure of RelationProperty
simpler and allows easier propagation of settings (such as from
subclasses of RelationProperty) into the reverse reference.
The internal BackRef() is gone and backref() returns a plain
tuple that is understood by RelationProperty.
- The version_id_col feature on mapper() will raise a warning when
used with dialects that don't support "rowcount" adequately.
[ticket:1569]
- added "execution_options()" to Query, to so options can be
passed to the resulting statement. Currently only
Select-statements have these options, and the only option
used is "stream_results", and the only dialect which knows
"stream_results" is psycopg2.
- Query.yield_per() will set the "stream_results" statement
option automatically.
- Deprecated or removed:
* 'allow_null_pks' flag on mapper() is deprecated. It does
nothing now and the setting is "on" in all cases.
* 'transactional' flag on sessionmaker() and others is
removed. Use 'autocommit=True' to indicate 'transactional=False'.
* 'polymorphic_fetch' argument on mapper() is removed.
Loading can be controlled using the 'with_polymorphic'
option.
* 'select_table' argument on mapper() is removed. Use
'with_polymorphic=("*", <some selectable>)' for this
functionality.
* 'proxy' argument on synonym() is removed. This flag
did nothing throughout 0.5, as the "proxy generation"
behavior is now automatic.
* Passing a single list of elements to eagerload(),
eagerload_all(), contains_eager(), lazyload(),
defer(), and undefer() instead of multiple positional
*args is deprecated.
* Passing a single list of elements to query.order_by(),
query.group_by(), query.join(), or query.outerjoin()
instead of multiple positional *args is deprecated.
* query.iterate_instances() is removed. Use query.instances().
* Query.query_from_parent() is removed. Use the
sqlalchemy.orm.with_parent() function to produce a
"parent" clause, or alternatively query.with_parent().
* query._from_self() is removed, use query.from_self()
instead.
* the "comparator" argument to composite() is removed.
Use "comparator_factory".
* RelationProperty._get_join() is removed.
* the 'echo_uow' flag on Session is removed. Use
logging on the "sqlalchemy.orm.unitofwork" name.
* session.clear() is removed. use session.expunge_all().
* session.save(), session.update(), session.save_or_update()
are removed. Use session.add() and session.add_all().
* the "objects" flag on session.flush() remains deprecated.
* the "dont_load=True" flag on session.merge() is deprecated
in favor of "load=False".
* ScopedSession.mapper remains deprecated. See the
usage recipe at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/SessionAwareMapper
* passing an InstanceState (internal SQLAlchemy state object) to
attributes.init_collection() or attributes.get_history() is
deprecated. These functions are public API and normally
expect a regular mapped object instance.
* the 'engine' parameter to declarative_base() is removed.
Use the 'bind' keyword argument.
- sql
- the "autocommit" flag on select() and text() as well
as select().autocommit() are deprecated - now call
.execution_options(autocommit=True) on either of those
constructs, also available directly on Connection and orm.Query.
- the autoincrement flag on column now indicates the column
which should be linked to cursor.lastrowid, if that method
is used. See the API docs for details.
- an executemany() now requires that all bound parameter
sets require that all keys are present which are
present in the first bound parameter set. The structure
and behavior of an insert/update statement is very much
determined by the first parameter set, including which
defaults are going to fire off, and a minimum of
guesswork is performed with all the rest so that performance
is not impacted. For this reason defaults would otherwise
silently "fail" for missing parameters, so this is now guarded
against. [ticket:1566]
- returning() support is native to insert(), update(),
delete(). Implementations of varying levels of
functionality exist for Postgresql, Firebird, MSSQL and
Oracle. returning() can be called explicitly with column
expressions which are then returned in the resultset,
usually via fetchone() or first().
insert() constructs will also use RETURNING implicitly to
get newly generated primary key values, if the database
version in use supports it (a version number check is
performed). This occurs if no end-user returning() was
specified.
- union(), intersect(), except() and other "compound" types
of statements have more consistent behavior w.r.t.
parenthesizing. Each compound element embedded within
another will now be grouped with parenthesis - previously,
the first compound element in the list would not be grouped,
as SQLite doesn't like a statement to start with
parenthesis. However, Postgresql in particular has
precedence rules regarding INTERSECT, and it is
more consistent for parenthesis to be applied equally
to all sub-elements. So now, the workaround for SQLite
is also what the workaround for PG was previously -
when nesting compound elements, the first one usually needs
".alias().select()" called on it to wrap it inside
of a subquery. [ticket:1665]
- insert() and update() constructs can now embed bindparam()
objects using names that match the keys of columns. These
bind parameters will circumvent the usual route to those
keys showing up in the VALUES or SET clause of the generated
SQL. [ticket:1579]
- the Binary type now returns data as a Python string
(or a "bytes" type in Python 3), instead of the built-
in "buffer" type. This allows symmetric round trips
of binary data. [ticket:1524]
- Added a tuple_() construct, allows sets of expressions
to be compared to another set, typically with IN against
composite primary keys or similar. Also accepts an
IN with multiple columns. The "scalar select can
have only one column" error message is removed - will
rely upon the database to report problems with
col mismatch.
- User-defined "default" and "onupdate" callables which
accept a context should now call upon
"context.current_parameters" to get at the dictionary
of bind parameters currently being processed. This
dict is available in the same way regardless of
single-execute or executemany-style statement execution.
- multi-part schema names, i.e. with dots such as
"dbo.master", are now rendered in select() labels
with underscores for dots, i.e. "dbo_master_table_column".
This is a "friendly" label that behaves better
in result sets. [ticket:1428]
- removed needless "counter" behavior with select()
labelnames that match a column name in the table,
i.e. generates "tablename_id" for "id", instead of
"tablename_id_1" in an attempt to avoid naming
conflicts, when the table has a column actually
named "tablename_id" - this is because
the labeling logic is always applied to all columns
so a naming conflict will never occur.
- calling expr.in_([]), i.e. with an empty list, emits a warning
before issuing the usual "expr != expr" clause. The
"expr != expr" can be very expensive, and it's preferred
that the user not issue in_() if the list is empty,
instead simply not querying, or modifying the criterion
as appropriate for more complex situations.
[ticket:1628]
- Added "execution_options()" to select()/text(), which set the
default options for the Connection. See the note in "engines".
- Deprecated or removed:
* "scalar" flag on select() is removed, use
select.as_scalar().
* "shortname" attribute on bindparam() is removed.
* postgres_returning, firebird_returning flags on
insert(), update(), delete() are deprecated, use
the new returning() method.
* fold_equivalents flag on join is deprecated (will remain
until [ticket:1131] is implemented)
- engines
- transaction isolation level may be specified with
create_engine(... isolation_level="..."); available on
postgresql and sqlite. [ticket:443]
- Connection has execution_options(), generative method
which accepts keywords that affect how the statement
is executed w.r.t. the DBAPI. Currently supports
"stream_results", causes psycopg2 to use a server
side cursor for that statement, as well as
"autocommit", which is the new location for the "autocommit"
option from select() and text(). select() and
text() also have .execution_options() as well as
ORM Query().
- fixed the import for entrypoint-driven dialects to
not rely upon silly tb_info trick to determine import
error status. [ticket:1630]
- added first() method to ResultProxy, returns first row and
closes result set immediately.
- RowProxy objects are now pickleable, i.e. the object returned
by result.fetchone(), result.fetchall() etc.
- RowProxy no longer has a close() method, as the row no longer
maintains a reference to the parent. Call close() on
the parent ResultProxy instead, or use autoclose.
- ResultProxy internals have been overhauled to greatly reduce
method call counts when fetching columns. Can provide a large
speed improvement (up to more than 100%) when fetching large
result sets. The improvement is larger when fetching columns
that have no type-level processing applied and when using
results as tuples (instead of as dictionaries). Many
thanks to Elixir's Gaëtan de Menten for this dramatic
improvement ! [ticket:1586]
- Databases which rely upon postfetch of "last inserted id"
to get at a generated sequence value (i.e. MySQL, MS-SQL)
now work correctly when there is a composite primary key
where the "autoincrement" column is not the first primary
key column in the table.
- the last_inserted_ids() method has been renamed to the
descriptor "inserted_primary_key".
- setting echo=False on create_engine() now sets the loglevel
to WARN instead of NOTSET. This so that logging can be
disabled for a particular engine even if logging
for "sqlalchemy.engine" is enabled overall. Note that the
default setting of "echo" is `None`. [ticket:1554]
- ConnectionProxy now has wrapper methods for all transaction
lifecycle events, including begin(), rollback(), commit()
begin_nested(), begin_prepared(), prepare(), release_savepoint(),
etc.
- Connection pool logging now uses both INFO and DEBUG
log levels for logging. INFO is for major events such
as invalidated connections, DEBUG for all the acquire/return
logging. `echo_pool` can be False, None, True or "debug"
the same way as `echo` works.
- All pyodbc-dialects now support extra pyodbc-specific
kw arguments 'ansi', 'unicode_results', 'autocommit'.
[ticket:1621]
- the "threadlocal" engine has been rewritten and simplified
and now supports SAVEPOINT operations.
- deprecated or removed
* result.last_inserted_ids() is deprecated. Use
result.inserted_primary_key
* dialect.get_default_schema_name(connection) is now
public via dialect.default_schema_name.
* the "connection" argument from engine.transaction() and
engine.run_callable() is removed - Connection itself
now has those methods. All four methods accept
*args and **kwargs which are passed to the given callable,
as well as the operating connection.
- schema
- the `__contains__()` method of `MetaData` now accepts
strings or `Table` objects as arguments. If given
a `Table`, the argument is converted to `table.key` first,
i.e. "[schemaname.]<tablename>" [ticket:1541]
- deprecated MetaData.connect() and
ThreadLocalMetaData.connect() have been removed - send
the "bind" attribute to bind a metadata.
- deprecated metadata.table_iterator() method removed (use
sorted_tables)
- deprecated PassiveDefault - use DefaultClause.
- the "metadata" argument is removed from DefaultGenerator
and subclasses, but remains locally present on Sequence,
which is a standalone construct in DDL.
- Removed public mutability from Index and Constraint
objects:
- ForeignKeyConstraint.append_element()
- Index.append_column()
- UniqueConstraint.append_column()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.add()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.remove()
These should be constructed declaratively (i.e. in one
construction).
- The "start" and "increment" attributes on Sequence now
generate "START WITH" and "INCREMENT BY" by default,
on Oracle and Postgresql. Firebird doesn't support
these keywords right now. [ticket:1545]
- UniqueConstraint, Index, PrimaryKeyConstraint all accept
lists of column names or column objects as arguments.
- Other removed things:
- Table.key (no idea what this was for)
- Table.primary_key is not assignable - use
table.append_constraint(PrimaryKeyConstraint(...))
- Column.bind (get via column.table.bind)
- Column.metadata (get via column.table.metadata)
- Column.sequence (use column.default)
- ForeignKey(constraint=some_parent) (is now private _constraint)
- The use_alter flag on ForeignKey is now a shortcut option
for operations that can be hand-constructed using the
DDL() event system. A side effect of this refactor is
that ForeignKeyConstraint objects with use_alter=True
will *not* be emitted on SQLite, which does not support
ALTER for foreign keys.
- ForeignKey and ForeignKeyConstraint objects now correctly
copy() all their public keyword arguments. [ticket:1605]
- Reflection/Inspection
- Table reflection has been expanded and generalized into
a new API called "sqlalchemy.engine.reflection.Inspector".
The Inspector object provides fine-grained information about
a wide variety of schema information, with room for expansion,
including table names, column names, view definitions, sequences,
indexes, etc.
- Views are now reflectable as ordinary Table objects. The same
Table constructor is used, with the caveat that "effective"
primary and foreign key constraints aren't part of the reflection
results; these have to be specified explicitly if desired.
- The existing autoload=True system now uses Inspector underneath
so that each dialect need only return "raw" data about tables
and other objects - Inspector is the single place that information
is compiled into Table objects so that consistency is at a maximum.
- DDL
- the DDL system has been greatly expanded. the DDL() class
now extends the more generic DDLElement(), which forms the basis
of many new constructs:
- CreateTable()
- DropTable()
- AddConstraint()
- DropConstraint()
- CreateIndex()
- DropIndex()
- CreateSequence()
- DropSequence()
These support "on" and "execute-at()" just like plain DDL()
does. User-defined DDLElement subclasses can be created and
linked to a compiler using the sqlalchemy.ext.compiler extension.
- The signature of the "on" callable passed to DDL() and
DDLElement() is revised as follows:
"ddl" - the DDLElement object itself.
"event" - the string event name.
"target" - previously "schema_item", the Table or
MetaData object triggering the event.
"connection" - the Connection object in use for the operation.
**kw - keyword arguments. In the case of MetaData before/after
create/drop, the list of Table objects for which
CREATE/DROP DDL is to be issued is passed as the kw
argument "tables". This is necessary for metadata-level
DDL that is dependent on the presence of specific tables.
- the "schema_item" attribute of DDL has been renamed to
"target".
- dialect refactor
- Dialect modules are now broken into database dialects
plus DBAPI implementations. Connect URLs are now
preferred to be specified using dialect+driver://...,
i.e. "mysql+mysqldb://scott:tiger@localhost/test". See
the 0.6 documentation for examples.
- the setuptools entrypoint for external dialects is now
called "sqlalchemy.dialects".
- the "owner" keyword argument is removed from Table. Use
"schema" to represent any namespaces to be prepended to
the table name.
- server_version_info becomes a static attribute.
- dialects receive an initialize() event on initial
connection to determine connection properties.
- dialects receive a visit_pool event have an opportunity
to establish pool listeners.
- cached TypeEngine classes are cached per-dialect class
instead of per-dialect.
- new UserDefinedType should be used as a base class for
new types, which preserves the 0.5 behavior of
get_col_spec().
- The result_processor() method of all type classes now
accepts a second argument "coltype", which is the DBAPI
type argument from cursor.description. This argument
can help some types decide on the most efficient processing
of result values.
- Deprecated Dialect.get_params() removed.
- Dialect.get_rowcount() has been renamed to a descriptor
"rowcount", and calls cursor.rowcount directly. Dialects
which need to hardwire a rowcount in for certain calls
should override the method to provide different behavior.
- DefaultRunner and subclasses have been removed. The job
of this object has been simplified and moved into
ExecutionContext. Dialects which support sequences should
add a `fire_sequence()` method to their execution context
implementation. [ticket:1566]
- Functions and operators generated by the compiler now use
(almost) regular dispatch functions of the form
"visit_<opname>" and "visit_<funcname>_fn" to provide
customed processing. This replaces the need to copy the
"functions" and "operators" dictionaries in compiler
subclasses with straightforward visitor methods, and also
allows compiler subclasses complete control over
rendering, as the full _Function or _BinaryExpression
object is passed in.
- postgresql
- New dialects: pg8000, zxjdbc, and pypostgresql
on py3k.
- The "postgres" dialect is now named "postgresql" !
Connection strings look like:
postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test
postgresql+pg8000://scott:tiger@localhost/test
The "postgres" name remains for backwards compatiblity
in the following ways:
- There is a "postgres.py" dummy dialect which
allows old URLs to work, i.e.
postgres://scott:tiger@localhost/test
- The "postgres" name can be imported from the old
"databases" module, i.e. "from
sqlalchemy.databases import postgres" as well as
"dialects", "from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgres
import base as pg", will send a deprecation
warning.
- Special expression arguments are now named
"postgresql_returning" and "postgresql_where", but
the older "postgres_returning" and
"postgres_where" names still work with a
deprecation warning.
- "postgresql_where" now accepts SQL expressions which
can also include literals, which will be quoted as needed.
- The psycopg2 dialect now uses psycopg2's "unicode extension"
on all new connections, which allows all String/Text/etc.
types to skip the need to post-process bytestrings into
unicode (an expensive step due to its volume). Other
dialects which return unicode natively (pg8000, zxjdbc)
also skip unicode post-processing.
- Added new ENUM type, which exists as a schema-level
construct and extends the generic Enum type. Automatically
associates itself with tables and their parent metadata
to issue the appropriate CREATE TYPE/DROP TYPE
commands as needed, supports unicode labels, supports
reflection. [ticket:1511]
- INTERVAL supports an optional "precision" argument
corresponding to the argument that PG accepts.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
psycopg2 can't handle a bind parameter name of
%(foobar)s however and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead
just to treat that one non-existent use case.
[ticket:1279]
- Inserting NULL into a primary key + foreign key column
will allow the "not null constraint" error to raise,
not an attempt to execute a nonexistent "col_id_seq"
sequence. [ticket:1516]
- autoincrement SELECT statements, i.e. those which
select from a procedure that modifies rows, now work
with server-side cursor mode (the named cursor isn't
used for such statements.)
- postgresql dialect can properly detect pg "devel" version
strings, i.e. "8.5devel" [ticket:1636]
- The psycopg2 now respects the statement option
"stream_results". This option overrides the connection setting
"server_side_cursors". If true, server side cursors will be
used for the statement. If false, they will not be used, even
if "server_side_cursors" is true on the
connection. [ticket:1619]
- mysql
- New dialects: oursql, a new native dialect,
MySQL Connector/Python, a native Python port of MySQLdb,
and of course zxjdbc on Jython.
- VARCHAR/NVARCHAR will not render without a length, raises
an error before passing to MySQL. Doesn't impact
CAST since VARCHAR is not allowed in MySQL CAST anyway,
the dialect renders CHAR/NCHAR in those cases.
- all the _detect_XXX() functions now run once underneath
dialect.initialize()
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
MySQLdb can't handle % signs in SQL when executemany() is used,
and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead just to treat that one
non-existent use case. [ticket:1279]
- the BINARY and MSBinary types now generate "BINARY" in all
cases. Omitting the "length" parameter will generate
"BINARY" with no length. Use BLOB to generate an unlengthed
binary column.
- the "quoting='quoted'" argument to MSEnum/ENUM is deprecated.
It's best to rely upon the automatic quoting.
- ENUM now subclasses the new generic Enum type, and also handles
unicode values implicitly, if the given labelnames are unicode
objects.
- a column of type TIMESTAMP now defaults to NULL if
"nullable=False" is not passed to Column(), and no default
is present. This is now consistent with all other types,
and in the case of TIMESTAMP explictly renders "NULL"
due to MySQL's "switching" of default nullability
for TIMESTAMP columns. [ticket:1539]
- oracle
- unit tests pass 100% with cx_oracle !
- support for cx_Oracle's "native unicode" mode which does
not require NLS_LANG to be set. Use the latest 5.0.2 or
later of cx_oracle.
- an NCLOB type is added to the base types.
- use_ansi=False won't leak into the FROM/WHERE clause of
a statement that's selecting from a subquery that also
uses JOIN/OUTERJOIN.
- added native INTERVAL type to the dialect. This supports
only the DAY TO SECOND interval type so far due to lack
of support in cx_oracle for YEAR TO MONTH. [ticket:1467]
- usage of the CHAR type results in cx_oracle's
FIXED_CHAR dbapi type being bound to statements.
- the Oracle dialect now features NUMBER which intends
to act justlike Oracle's NUMBER type. It is the primary
numeric type returned by table reflection and attempts
to return Decimal()/float/int based on the precision/scale
parameters. [ticket:885]
- func.char_length is a generic function for LENGTH
- ForeignKey() which includes onupdate=<value> will emit a
warning, not emit ON UPDATE CASCADE which is unsupported
by oracle
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- using types.BigInteger with Oracle will generate
NUMBER(19) [ticket:1125]
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- firebird
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- mssql
- MSSQL + Pyodbc + FreeTDS now works for the most part,
with possible exceptions regarding binary data as well as
unicode schema identifiers.
- the "has_window_funcs" flag is removed. LIMIT/OFFSET
usage will use ROW NUMBER as always, and if on an older
version of SQL Server, the operation fails. The behavior
is exactly the same except the error is raised by SQL
server instead of the dialect, and no flag setting is
required to enable it.
- the "auto_identity_insert" flag is removed. This feature
always takes effect when an INSERT statement overrides a
column that is known to have a sequence on it. As with
"has_window_funcs", if the underlying driver doesn't
support this, then you can't do this operation in any
case, so there's no point in having a flag.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- removed references to sequence which is no longer used.
implicit identities in mssql work the same as implicit
sequences on any other dialects. Explicit sequences are
enabled through the use of "default=Sequence()". See
the MSSQL dialect documentation for more information.
- sqlite
- DATE, TIME and DATETIME types can now take optional storage_format
and regexp argument. storage_format can be used to store those types
using a custom string format. regexp allows to use a custom regular
expression to match string values from the database.
- Time and DateTime types now use by a default a stricter regular
expression to match strings from the database. Use the regexp
argument if you are using data stored in a legacy format.
- __legacy_microseconds__ on SQLite Time and DateTime types is not
supported anymore. You should use the storage_format argument
instead.
- Date, Time and DateTime types are now stricter in what they accept as
bind parameters: Date type only accepts date objects (and datetime
ones, because they inherit from date), Time only accepts time
objects, and DateTime only accepts date and datetime objects.
- Table() supports a keyword argument "sqlite_autoincrement", which
applies the SQLite keyword "AUTOINCREMENT" to the single integer
primary key column when generating DDL. Will prevent generation of
a separate PRIMARY KEY constraint. [ticket:1016]
- new dialects
- postgresql+pg8000
- postgresql+pypostgresql (partial)
- postgresql+zxjdbc
- mysql+pyodbc
- mysql+zxjdbc
- types
- The construction of types within dialects has been totally
overhauled. Dialects now define publically available types
as UPPERCASE names exclusively, and internal implementation
types using underscore identifiers (i.e. are private).
The system by which types are expressed in SQL and DDL
has been moved to the compiler system. This has the
effect that there are much fewer type objects within
most dialects. A detailed document on this architecture
for dialect authors is in
lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/type_migration_guidelines.txt .
- Types no longer make any guesses as to default
parameters. In particular, Numeric, Float, NUMERIC,
FLOAT, DECIMAL don't generate any length or scale unless
specified.
- types.Binary is renamed to types.LargeBinary, it only
produces BLOB, BYTEA, or a similar "long binary" type.
New base BINARY and VARBINARY
types have been added to access these MySQL/MS-SQL specific
types in an agnostic way [ticket:1664].
- String/Text/Unicode types now skip the unicode() check
on each result column value if the dialect has
detected the DBAPI as returning Python unicode objects
natively. This check is issued on first connect
using "SELECT CAST 'some text' AS VARCHAR(10)" or
equivalent, then checking if the returned object
is a Python unicode. This allows vast performance
increases for native-unicode DBAPIs, including
pysqlite/sqlite3, psycopg2, and pg8000.
- Most types result processors have been checked for possible speed
improvements. Specifically, the following generic types have been
optimized, resulting in varying speed improvements:
Unicode, PickleType, Interval, TypeDecorator, Binary.
Also the following dbapi-specific implementations have been improved:
Time, Date and DateTime on Sqlite, ARRAY on Postgresql,
Time on MySQL, Numeric(as_decimal=False) on MySQL, oursql and
pypostgresql, DateTime on cx_oracle and LOB-based types on cx_oracle.
- Reflection of types now returns the exact UPPERCASE
type within types.py, or the UPPERCASE type within
the dialect itself if the type is not a standard SQL
type. This means reflection now returns more accurate
information about reflected types.
- Added a new Enum generic type. Enum is a schema-aware object
to support databases which require specific DDL in order to
use enum or equivalent; in the case of PG it handles the
details of `CREATE TYPE`, and on other databases without
native enum support will by generate VARCHAR + an inline CHECK
constraint to enforce the enum.
[ticket:1109] [ticket:1511]
- The Interval type includes a "native" flag which controls
if native INTERVAL types (postgresql + oracle) are selected
if available, or not. "day_precision" and "second_precision"
arguments are also added which propagate as appropriately
to these native types. Related to [ticket:1467].
- The Boolean type, when used on a backend that doesn't
have native boolean support, will generate a CHECK
constraint "col IN (0, 1)" along with the int/smallint-
based column type. This can be switched off if
desired with create_constraint=False.
Note that MySQL has no native boolean *or* CHECK constraint
support so this feature isn't available on that platform.
[ticket:1589]
- PickleType now uses == for comparison of values when
mutable=True, unless the "comparator" argument with a
comparsion function is specified to the type. Objects
being pickled will be compared based on identity (which
defeats the purpose of mutable=True) if __eq__() is not
overridden or a comparison function is not provided.
- The default "precision" and "scale" arguments of Numeric
and Float have been removed and now default to None.
NUMERIC and FLOAT will be rendered with no numeric
arguments by default unless these values are provided.
- AbstractType.get_search_list() is removed - the games
that was used for are no longer necessary.
- Added a generic BigInteger type, compiles to
BIGINT or NUMBER(19). [ticket:1125]
-ext
- sqlsoup has been overhauled to explicitly support an 0.5 style
session, using autocommit=False, autoflush=True. Default
behavior of SQLSoup now requires the usual usage of commit()
and rollback(), which have been added to its interface. An
explcit Session or scoped_session can be passed to the
constructor, allowing these arguments to be overridden.
- sqlsoup db.<sometable>.update() and delete() now call
query(cls).update() and delete(), respectively.
- sqlsoup now has execute() and connection(), which call upon
the Session methods of those names, ensuring that the bind is
in terms of the SqlSoup object's bind.
- sqlsoup objects no longer have the 'query' attribute - it's
not needed for sqlsoup's usage paradigm and it gets in the
way of a column that is actually named 'query'.
- The signature of the proxy_factory callable passed to
association_proxy is now (lazy_collection, creator,
value_attr, association_proxy), adding a fourth argument
that is the parent AssociationProxy argument. Allows
serializability and subclassing of the built in collections.
[ticket:1259]
- association_proxy now has basic comparator methods .any(),
.has(), .contains(), ==, !=, thanks to Scott Torborg.
[ticket:1372]
- examples
- The "query_cache" examples have been removed, and are replaced
with a fully comprehensive approach that combines the usage of
Beaker with SQLAlchemy. New query options are used to indicate
the caching characteristics of a particular Query, which
can also be invoked deep within an object graph when lazily
loading related objects. See /examples/beaker_caching/README.
0.5.9
=====
- sql
- Fixed erroneous self_group() call in expression package.
[ticket:1661]
0.5.8
=====
- sql
- The copy() method on Column now supports uninitialized,
unnamed Column objects. This allows easy creation of
declarative helpers which place common columns on multiple
subclasses.
- Default generators like Sequence() translate correctly
across a copy() operation.
- Sequence() and other DefaultGenerator objects are accepted
as the value for the "default" and "onupdate" keyword
arguments of Column, in addition to being accepted
positionally.
- Fixed a column arithmetic bug that affected column
correspondence for cloned selectables which contain
free-standing column expressions. This bug is
generally only noticeable when exercising newer
ORM behavior only availble in 0.6 via [ticket:1568],
but is more correct at the SQL expression level
as well. [ticket:1617]
- postgresql
- The extract() function, which was slightly improved in
0.5.7, needed a lot more work to generate the correct
typecast (the typecasts appear to be necessary in PG's
EXTRACT quite a lot of the time). The typecast is
now generated using a rule dictionary based
on PG's documentation for date/time/interval arithmetic.
It also accepts text() constructs again, which was broken
in 0.5.7. [ticket:1647]
- firebird
- Recognize more errors as disconnections. [ticket:1646]
0.5.7
=====
- orm
- contains_eager() now works with the automatically
generated subquery that results when you say
"query(Parent).join(Parent.somejoinedsubclass)", i.e.
when Parent joins to a joined-table-inheritance subclass.
Previously contains_eager() would erroneously add the
subclass table to the query separately producing a
cartesian product. An example is in the ticket
description. [ticket:1543]
- query.options() now only propagate to loaded objects
for potential further sub-loads only for options where
such behavior is relevant, keeping
various unserializable options like those generated
by contains_eager() out of individual instance states.
[ticket:1553]
- Session.execute() now locates table- and
mapper-specific binds based on a passed
in expression which is an insert()/update()/delete()
construct. [ticket:1054]
- Session.merge() now properly overwrites a many-to-one or
uselist=False attribute to None if the attribute
is also None in the given object to be merged.
- Fixed a needless select which would occur when merging
transient objects that contained a null primary key
identifier. [ticket:1618]
- Mutable collection passed to the "extension" attribute
of relation(), column_property() etc. will not be mutated
or shared among multiple instrumentation calls, preventing
duplicate extensions, such as backref populators,
from being inserted into the list.
[ticket:1585]
- Fixed the call to get_committed_value() on CompositeProperty.
[ticket:1504]
- Fixed bug where Query would crash if a join() with no clear
"left" side were called when a non-mapped column entity
appeared in the columns list. [ticket:1602]
- Fixed bug whereby composite columns wouldn't load properly
when configured on a joined-table subclass, introduced in
version 0.5.6 as a result of the fix for [ticket:1480].
[ticket:1616] thx to Scott Torborg.
- The "use get" behavior of many-to-one relations, i.e. that a
lazy load will fallback to the possibly cached query.get()
value, now works across join conditions where the two compared
types are not exactly the same class, but share the same
"affinity" - i.e. Integer and SmallInteger. Also allows
combinations of reflected and non-reflected types to work
with 0.5 style type reflection, such as PGText/Text (note 0.6
reflects types as their generic versions). [ticket:1556]
- Fixed bug in query.update() when passing Cls.attribute
as keys in the value dict and using synchronize_session='expire'
('fetch' in 0.6). [ticket:1436]

- Fixed bug in two-phase transaction whereby commit() method
didn't set the full state which allows subsequent close()
call to succeed. [ticket:1603]
- Fixed the "numeric" paramstyle, which apparently is the
default paramstyle used by Informixdb.
- Repeat expressions in the columns clause of a select
are deduped based on the identity of each clause element,
not the actual string. This allows positional
elements to render correctly even if they all render
identically, such as "qmark" style bind parameters.
[ticket:1574]
- The cursor associated with connection pool connections
(i.e. _CursorFairy) now proxies `__iter__()` to the
underlying cursor correctly. [ticket:1632]
- types now support an "affinity comparison" operation, i.e.
that an Integer/SmallInteger are "compatible", or
a Text/String, PickleType/Binary, etc. Part of
[ticket:1556].
- Fixed bug preventing alias() of an alias() from being
cloned or adapted (occurs frequently in ORM operations).
[ticket:1641]
- sqlite
- sqlite dialect properly generates CREATE INDEX for a table
that is in an alternate schema. [ticket:1439]
- postgresql
- Added support for reflecting the DOUBLE PRECISION type,
via a new postgres.PGDoublePrecision object.
This is postgresql.DOUBLE_PRECISION in 0.6.
[ticket:1085]
- Added support for reflecting the INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND syntaxes of the INTERVAL
type. [ticket:460]
- Corrected the "has_sequence" query to take current schema,
or explicit sequence-stated schema, into account.
[ticket:1576]
- Fixed the behavior of extract() to apply operator
precedence rules to the "::" operator when applying
the "timestamp" cast - ensures proper parenthesization.
[ticket:1611]
- mssql
- Changed the name of TrustedConnection to
Trusted_Connection when constructing pyodbc connect
arguments [ticket:1561]
- oracle
- The "table_names" dialect function, used by MetaData
.reflect(), omits "index overflow tables", a system
table generated by Oracle when "index only tables"
with overflow are used. These tables aren't accessible
via SQL and can't be reflected. [ticket:1637]
- ext
- A column can be added to a joined-table declarative
superclass after the class has been constructed
(i.e. via class-level attribute assignment), and
the column will be propagated down to
subclasses. [ticket:1570] This is the reverse
situation as that of [ticket:1523], fixed in 0.5.6.
- Fixed a slight inaccuracy in the sharding example.
Comparing equivalence of columns in the ORM is best
accomplished using col1.shares_lineage(col2).
[ticket:1491]
- Removed unused `load()` method from ShardedQuery.
[ticket:1606]

Update SQLalchemy to version 0.6.0.
Changes since 0.5.6:
0.6.0
=====
- orm
- Unit of work internals have been rewritten. Units of work
with large numbers of objects interdependent objects
can now be flushed without recursion overflows
as there is no longer reliance upon recursive calls
[ticket:1081]. The number of internal structures now stays
constant for a particular session state, regardless of
how many relationships are present on mappings. The flow
of events now corresponds to a linear list of steps,
generated by the mappers and relationships based on actual
work to be done, filtered through a single topological sort
for correct ordering. Flush actions are assembled using
far fewer steps and less memory. [ticket:1742]
- Along with the UOW rewrite, this also removes an issue
introduced in 0.6beta3 regarding topological cycle detection
for units of work with long dependency cycles. We now use
an algorithm written by Guido (thanks Guido!).
- one-to-many relationships now maintain a list of positive
parent-child associations within the flush, preventing
previous parents marked as deleted from cascading a
delete or NULL foreign key set on those child objects,
despite the end-user not removing the child from the old
association. [ticket:1764]
- A collection lazy load will switch off default
eagerloading on the reverse many-to-one side, since
that loading is by definition unnecessary. [ticket:1495]
- Session.refresh() now does an equivalent expire()
on the given instance first, so that the "refresh-expire"
cascade is propagated. Previously, refresh() was
not affected in any way by the presence of "refresh-expire"
cascade. This is a change in behavior versus that
of 0.6beta2, where the "lockmode" flag passed to refresh()
would cause a version check to occur. Since the instance
is first expired, refresh() always upgrades the object
to the most recent version.
- The 'refresh-expire' cascade, when reaching a pending object,
will expunge the object if the cascade also includes
"delete-orphan", or will simply detach it otherwise.
[ticket:1754]
- id(obj) is no longer used internally within topological.py,
as the sorting functions now require hashable objects
only. [ticket:1756]
- The ORM will set the docstring of all generated descriptors
to None by default. This can be overridden using 'doc'
(or if using Sphinx, attribute docstrings work too).
- Added kw argument 'doc' to all mapper property callables
as well as Column(). Will assemble the string 'doc' as
the '__doc__' attribute on the descriptor.
- Usage of version_id_col on a backend that supports
cursor.rowcount for execute() but not executemany() now works
when a delete is issued (already worked for saves, since those
don't use executemany()). For a backend that doesn't support
cursor.rowcount at all, a warning is emitted the same
as with saves. [ticket:1761]
- The ORM now short-term caches the "compiled" form of
insert() and update() constructs when flushing lists of
objects of all the same class, thereby avoiding redundant
compilation per individual INSERT/UPDATE within an
individual flush() call.
- internal getattr(), setattr(), getcommitted() methods
on ColumnProperty, CompositeProperty, RelationshipProperty
have been underscored (i.e. are private), signature has
changed.
- engines
- The C extension now also works with DBAPIs which use custom
sequences as row (and not only tuples). [ticket:1757]
- sql
- Restored some bind-labeling logic from 0.5 which ensures
that tables with column names that overlap another column
of the form "<tablename>_<columnname>" won't produce
errors if column._label is used as a bind name during
an UPDATE. Test coverage which wasn't present in 0.5
has been added. [ticket:1755]
- somejoin.select(fold_equivalents=True) is no longer
deprecated, and will eventually be rolled into a more
comprehensive version of the feature for [ticket:1729].
- the Numeric type raises an *enormous* warning when expected
to convert floats to Decimal from a DBAPI that returns floats.
This includes SQLite, Sybase, MS-SQL. [ticket:1759]
- Fixed an error in expression typing which caused an endless
loop for expressions with two NULL types.
- Fixed bug in execution_options() feature whereby the existing
Transaction and other state information from the parent
connection would not be propagated to the sub-connection.
- Added new 'compiled_cache' execution option. A dictionary
where Compiled objects will be cached when the Connection
compiles a clause expression into a dialect- and parameter-
specific Compiled object. It is the user's responsibility to
manage the size of this dictionary, which will have keys
corresponding to the dialect, clause element, the column
names within the VALUES or SET clause of an INSERT or UPDATE,
as well as the "batch" mode for an INSERT or UPDATE statement.
- Added get_pk_constraint() to reflection.Inspector, similar
to get_primary_keys() except returns a dict that includes the
name of the constraint, for supported backends (PG so far).
[ticket:1769]
- Table.create() and Table.drop() no longer apply metadata-
level create/drop events. [ticket:1771]
- ext
- the compiler extension now allows @compiles decorators
on base classes that extend to child classes, @compiles
decorators on child classes that aren't broken by a
@compiles decorator on the base class.
- Declarative will raise an informative error message
if a non-mapped class attribute is referenced in the
string-based relationship() arguments.
- Further reworked the "mixin" logic in declarative to
additionally allow __mapper_args__ as a @classproperty
on a mixin, such as to dynamically assign polymorphic_identity.
- postgresql
- Postgresql now reflects sequence names associated with
SERIAL columns correctly, after the name of of the sequence
has been changed. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the patch.
[ticket:1071]
- Repaired missing import in psycopg2._PGNumeric type when
unknown numeric is received.
- psycopg2/pg8000 dialects now aware of REAL[], FLOAT[],
DOUBLE_PRECISION[], NUMERIC[] return types without
raising an exception.
- Postgresql reflects the name of primary key constraints,
if one exists. [ticket:1769]
- oracle
- Now using cx_oracle output converters so that the
DBAPI returns natively the kinds of values we prefer:
- NUMBER values with positive precision + scale convert
to cx_oracle.STRING and then to Decimal. This
allows perfect precision for the Numeric type when
using cx_oracle. [ticket:1759]
- STRING/FIXED_CHAR now convert to unicode natively.
SQLAlchemy's String types then don't need to
apply any kind of conversions.
- firebird
- The functionality of result.rowcount can be disabled on a
per-engine basis by setting 'enable_rowcount=False'
on create_engine(). Normally, cursor.rowcount is called
after any UPDATE or DELETE statement unconditionally,
because the cursor is then closed and Firebird requires
an open cursor in order to get a rowcount. This
call is slightly expensive however so it can be disabled.
To re-enable on a per-execution basis, the
'enable_rowcount=True' execution option may be used.
- examples
- Updated attribute_shard.py example to use a more robust
method of searching a Query for binary expressions which
compare columns against literal values.
0.6beta3
========
- orm
- Major feature: Added new "subquery" loading capability to
relationship(). This is an eager loading option which
generates a second SELECT for each collection represented
in a query, across all parents at once. The query
re-issues the original end-user query wrapped in a subquery,
applies joins out to the target collection, and loads
all those collections fully in one result, similar to
"joined" eager loading but using all inner joins and not
re-fetching full parent rows repeatedly (as most DBAPIs seem
to do, even if columns are skipped). Subquery loading is
available at mapper config level using "lazy='subquery'" and
at the query options level using "subqueryload(props..)",
"subqueryload_all(props...)". [ticket:1675]
- To accomodate the fact that there are now two kinds of eager
loading available, the new names for eagerload() and
eagerload_all() are joinedload() and joinedload_all(). The
old names will remain as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- The "lazy" flag on the relationship() function now accepts
a string argument for all kinds of loading: "select", "joined",
"subquery", "noload" and "dynamic", where the default is now
"select". The old values of True/
False/None still retain their usual meanings and will remain
as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- Added with_hint() method to Query() construct. This calls
directly down to select().with_hint() and also accepts
entities as well as tables and aliases. See with_hint() in the
SQL section below. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug in Query whereby calling q.join(prop).from_self(...).
join(prop) would fail to render the second join outside the
subquery, when joining on the same criterion as was on the
inside.
- Fixed bug in Query whereby the usage of aliased() constructs
would fail if the underlying table (but not the actual alias)
were referenced inside the subquery generated by
q.from_self() or q.select_from().
- Fixed bug which affected all eagerload() and similar options
such that "remote" eager loads, i.e. eagerloads off of a lazy
load such as query(A).options(eagerload(A.b, B.c))
wouldn't eagerload anything, but using eagerload("b.c") would
work fine.
- Query gains an add_columns(*columns) method which is a multi-
version of add_column(col). add_column(col) is future
deprecated.
- Query.join() will detect if the end result will be
"FROM A JOIN A", and will raise an error if so.
- Query.join(Cls.propname, from_joinpoint=True) will check more
carefully that "Cls" is compatible with the current joinpoint,
and act the same way as Query.join("propname", from_joinpoint=True)
in that regard.
- sql
- Added with_hint() method to select() construct. Specify
a table/alias, hint text, and optional dialect name, and
"hints" will be rendered in the appropriate place in the
statement. Works for Oracle, Sybase, MySQL. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug introduced in 0.6beta2 where column labels would
render inside of column expressions already assigned a label.
[ticket:1747]
- postgresql
- The psycopg2 dialect will log NOTICE messages via the
"sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql" logger name.
[ticket:877]
- the TIME and TIMESTAMP types are now availble from the
postgresql dialect directly, which add the PG-specific
argument 'precision' to both. 'precision' and
'timezone' are correctly reflected for both TIME and
TIMEZONE types. [ticket:997]
- mysql
- No longer guessing that TINYINT(1) should be BOOLEAN
when reflecting - TINYINT(1) is returned. Use Boolean/
BOOLEAN in table definition to get boolean conversion
behavior. [ticket:1752]
- oracle
- The Oracle dialect will issue VARCHAR type definitions
using character counts, i.e. VARCHAR2(50 CHAR), so that
the column is sized in terms of characters and not bytes.
Column reflection of character types will also use
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.CHAR_LENGTH instead of
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.DATA_LENGTH. Both of these behaviors take
effect when the server version is 9 or higher - for
version 8, the old behaviors are used. [ticket:1744]
- declarative
- Using a mixin won't break if the mixin implements an
unpredictable __getattribute__(), i.e. Zope interfaces.
[ticket:1746]
- Using @classdecorator and similar on mixins to define
__tablename__, __table_args__, etc. now works if
the method references attributes on the ultimate
subclass. [ticket:1749]
- relationships and columns with foreign keys aren't
allowed on declarative mixins, sorry. [ticket:1751]
- ext
- The sqlalchemy.orm.shard module now becomes an extension,
sqlalchemy.ext.horizontal_shard. The old import
works with a deprecation warning.
0.6beta2
========
- py3k
- Improved the installation/test setup regarding Python 3,
now that Distribute runs on Py3k. distribute_setup.py
is now included. See README.py3k for Python 3 installation/
testing instructions.
- orm
- The official name for the relation() function is now
relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational
algebra term. relation() however will remain available
in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
- Added "version_id_generator" argument to Mapper, this is a
callable that, given the current value of the "version_id_col",
returns the next version number. Can be used for alternate
versioning schemes such as uuid, timestamps. [ticket:1692]
- added "lockmode" kw argument to Session.refresh(), will
pass through the string value to Query the same as
in with_lockmode(), will also do version check for a
version_id_col-enabled mapping.
- Fixed bug whereby calling query(A).join(A.bs).add_entity(B)
in a joined inheritance scenario would double-add B as a
target and produce an invalid query. [ticket:1188]
- Fixed bug in session.rollback() which involved not removing
formerly "pending" objects from the session before
re-integrating "deleted" objects, typically occured with
natural primary keys. If there was a primary key conflict
between them, the attach of the deleted would fail
internally. The formerly "pending" objects are now expunged
first. [ticket:1674]
- Removed a lot of logging that nobody really cares about,
logging that remains will respond to live changes in the
log level. No significant overhead is added. [ticket:1719]
- Fixed bug in session.merge() which prevented dict-like
collections from merging.
- session.merge() works with relations that specifically
don't include "merge" in their cascade options - the target
is ignored completely.
- session.merge() will not expire existing scalar attributes
on an existing target if the target has a value for that
attribute, even if the incoming merged doesn't have
a value for the attribute. This prevents unnecessary loads
on existing items. Will still mark the attr as expired
if the destination doesn't have the attr, though, which
fulfills some contracts of deferred cols. [ticket:1681]
- The "allow_null_pks" flag is now called "allow_partial_pks",
defaults to True, acts like it did in 0.5 again. Except,
it also is implemented within merge() such that a SELECT
won't be issued for an incoming instance with partially
NULL primary key if the flag is False. [ticket:1680]
- Fixed bug in 0.6-reworked "many-to-one" optimizations
such that a many-to-one that is against a non-primary key
column on the remote table (i.e. foreign key against a
UNIQUE column) will pull the "old" value in from the
database during a change, since if it's in the session
we will need it for proper history/backref accounting,
and we can't pull from the local identity map on a
non-primary key column. [ticket:1737]
- fixed internal error which would occur if calling has()
or similar complex expression on a single-table inheritance
relation(). [ticket:1731]
- query.one() no longer applies LIMIT to the query, this to
ensure that it fully counts all object identities present
in the result, even in the case where joins may conceal
multiple identities for two or more rows. As a bonus,
one() can now also be called with a query that issued
from_statement() to start with since it no longer modifies
the query. [ticket:1688]
- query.get() now returns None if queried for an identifier
that is present in the identity map with a different class
than the one requested, i.e. when using polymorphic loading.
[ticket:1727]
- A major fix in query.join(), when the "on" clause is an
attribute of an aliased() construct, but there is already
an existing join made out to a compatible target, query properly
joins to the right aliased() construct instead of sticking
onto the right side of the existing join. [ticket:1706]
- Slight improvement to the fix for [ticket:1362] to not issue
needless updates of the primary key column during a so-called
"row switch" operation, i.e. add + delete of two objects
with the same PK.
- Now uses sqlalchemy.orm.exc.DetachedInstanceError when an
attribute load or refresh action fails due to object
being detached from any Session. UnboundExecutionError
is specific to engines bound to sessions and statements.
- Query called in the context of an expression will render
disambiguating labels in all cases. Note that this does
not apply to the existing .statement and .subquery()
accessor/method, which still honors the .with_labels()
setting that defaults to False.
- Query.union() retains disambiguating labels within the
returned statement, thus avoiding various SQL composition
errors which can result from column name conflicts.
[ticket:1676]
- Fixed bug in attribute history that inadvertently invoked
__eq__ on mapped instances.
- Some internal streamlining of object loading grants a
small speedup for large results, estimates are around
10-15%. Gave the "state" internals a good solid
cleanup with less complexity, datamembers,
method calls, blank dictionary creates.
- Documentation clarification for query.delete()
[ticket:1689]
- Fixed cascade bug in many-to-one relation() when attribute
was set to None, introduced in r6711 (cascade deleted
items into session during add()).
- Calling query.order_by() or query.distinct() before calling
query.select_from(), query.with_polymorphic(), or
query.from_statement() raises an exception now instead of
silently dropping those criterion. [ticket:1736]
- query.scalar() now raises an exception if more than one
row is returned. All other behavior remains the same.
[ticket:1735]
- Fixed bug which caused "row switch" logic, that is an
INSERT and DELETE replaced by an UPDATE, to fail when
version_id_col was in use. [ticket:1692]
- sql
- join() will now simulate a NATURAL JOIN by default. Meaning,
if the left side is a join, it will attempt to join the right
side to the rightmost side of the left first, and not raise
any exceptions about ambiguous join conditions if successful
even if there are further join targets across the rest of
the left. [ticket:1714]
- The most common result processors conversion function were
moved to the new "processors" module. Dialect authors are
encouraged to use those functions whenever they correspond
to their needs instead of implementing custom ones.
- SchemaType and subclasses Boolean, Enum are now serializable,
including their ddl listener and other event callables.
[ticket:1694] [ticket:1698]
- Some platforms will now interpret certain literal values
as non-bind parameters, rendered literally into the SQL
statement. This to support strict SQL-92 rules that are
enforced by some platforms including MS-SQL and Sybase.
In this model, bind parameters aren't allowed in the
columns clause of a SELECT, nor are certain ambiguous
expressions like "?=?". When this mode is enabled, the base
compiler will render the binds as inline literals, but only across
strings and numeric values. Other types such as dates
will raise an error, unless the dialect subclass defines
a literal rendering function for those. The bind parameter
must have an embedded literal value already or an error
is raised (i.e. won't work with straight bindparam('x')).
Dialects can also expand upon the areas where binds are not
accepted, such as within argument lists of functions
(which don't work on MS-SQL when native SQL binding is used).
- Added "unicode_errors" parameter to String, Unicode, etc.
Behaves like the 'errors' keyword argument to
the standard library's string.decode() functions. This flag
requires that `convert_unicode` is set to `"force"` - otherwise,
SQLAlchemy is not guaranteed to handle the task of unicode
conversion. Note that this flag adds significant performance
overhead to row-fetching operations for backends that already
return unicode objects natively (which most DBAPIs do). This
flag should only be used as an absolute last resort for reading
strings from a column with varied or corrupted encodings,
which only applies to databases that accept invalid encodings
in the first place (i.e. MySQL. *not* PG, Sqlite, etc.)
- Added math negation operator support, -x.
- FunctionElement subclasses are now directly executable the
same way any func.foo() construct is, with automatic
SELECT being applied when passed to execute().
- The "type" and "bind" keyword arguments of a func.foo()
construct are now local to "func." constructs and are
not part of the FunctionElement base class, allowing
a "type" to be handled in a custom constructor or
class-level variable.
- Restored the keys() method to ResultProxy.
- The type/expression system now does a more complete job
of determining the return type from an expression
as well as the adaptation of the Python operator into
a SQL operator, based on the full left/right/operator
of the given expression. In particular
the date/time/interval system created for Postgresql
EXTRACT in [ticket:1647] has now been generalized into
the type system. The previous behavior which often
occured of an expression "column + literal" forcing
the type of "literal" to be the same as that of "column"
will now usually not occur - the type of
"literal" is first derived from the Python type of the
literal, assuming standard native Python types + date
types, before falling back to that of the known type
on the other side of the expression. If the
"fallback" type is compatible (i.e. CHAR from String),
the literal side will use that. TypeDecorator
types override this by default to coerce the "literal"
side unconditionally, which can be changed by implementing
the coerce_compared_value() method. Also part of
[ticket:1683].
- Made sqlalchemy.sql.expressions.Executable part of public
API, used for any expression construct that can be sent to
execute(). FunctionElement now inherits Executable so that
it gains execution_options(), which are also propagated
to the select() that's generated within execute().
Executable in turn subclasses _Generative which marks
any ClauseElement that supports the @_generative
decorator - these may also become "public" for the benefit
of the compiler extension at some point.
- A change to the solution for [ticket:1579] - an end-user
defined bind parameter name that directly conflicts with
a column-named bind generated directly from the SET or
VALUES clause of an update/insert generates a compile error.
This reduces call counts and eliminates some cases where
undesirable name conflicts could still occur.
- Column() requires a type if it has no foreign keys (this is
not new). An error is now raised if a Column() has no type
and no foreign keys. [ticket:1705]
- the "scale" argument of the Numeric() type is honored when
coercing a returned floating point value into a string
on its way to Decimal - this allows accuracy to function
on SQLite, MySQL. [ticket:1717]
- the copy() method of Column now copies over uninitialized
"on table attach" events. Helps with the new declarative
"mixin" capability.
- engines
- Added an optional C extension to speed up the sql layer by
reimplementing RowProxy and the most common result processors.
The actual speedups will depend heavily on your DBAPI and
the mix of datatypes used in your tables, and can vary from
a 30% improvement to more than 200%. It also provides a modest
(~15-20%) indirect improvement to ORM speed for large queries.
Note that it is *not* built/installed by default.
See README for installation instructions.
- the execution sequence pulls all rowcount/last inserted ID
info from the cursor before commit() is called on the
DBAPI connection in an "autocommit" scenario. This helps
mxodbc with rowcount and is probably a good idea overall.
- Opened up logging a bit such that isEnabledFor() is called
more often, so that changes to the log level for engine/pool
will be reflected on next connect. This adds a small
amount of method call overhead. It's negligible and will make
life a lot easier for all those situations when logging
just happens to be configured after create_engine() is called.
[ticket:1719]
- The assert_unicode flag is deprecated. SQLAlchemy will raise
a warning in all cases where it is asked to encode a non-unicode
Python string, as well as when a Unicode or UnicodeType type
is explicitly passed a bytestring. The String type will do nothing
for DBAPIs that already accept Python unicode objects.
- Bind parameters are sent as a tuple instead of a list. Some
backend drivers will not accept bind parameters as a list.
- threadlocal engine wasn't properly closing the connection
upon close() - fixed that.
- Transaction object doesn't rollback or commit if it isn't
"active", allows more accurate nesting of begin/rollback/commit.
- Python unicode objects as binds result in the Unicode type,
not string, thus eliminating a certain class of unicode errors
on drivers that don't support unicode binds.
- Added "logging_name" argument to create_engine(), Pool() constructor
as well as "pool_logging_name" argument to create_engine() which
filters down to that of Pool. Issues the given string name
within the "name" field of logging messages instead of the default
hex identifier string. [ticket:1555]
- The visit_pool() method of Dialect is removed, and replaced with
on_connect(). This method returns a callable which receives
the raw DBAPI connection after each one is created. The callable
is assembled into a first_connect/connect pool listener by the
connection strategy if non-None. Provides a simpler interface
for dialects.
- StaticPool now initializes, disposes and recreates without
opening a new connection - the connection is only opened when
first requested. dispose() also works on AssertionPool now.
[ticket:1728]
- metadata
- Added the ability to strip schema information when using
"tometadata" by passing "schema=None" as an argument. If schema
is not specified then the table's schema is retained.
[ticket: 1673]
- declarative
- DeclarativeMeta exclusively uses cls.__dict__ (not dict_)
as the source of class information; _as_declarative exclusively
uses the dict_ passed to it as the source of class information
(which when using DeclarativeMeta is cls.__dict__). This should
in theory make it easier for custom metaclasses to modify
the state passed into _as_declarative.
- declarative now accepts mixin classes directly, as a means
to provide common functional and column-based elements on
all subclasses, as well as a means to propagate a fixed
set of __table_args__ or __mapper_args__ to subclasses.
For custom combinations of __table_args__/__mapper_args__ from
an inherited mixin to local, descriptors can now be used.
New details are all up in the Declarative documentation.
Thanks to Chris Withers for putting up with my strife
on this. [ticket:1707]
- the __mapper_args__ dict is copied when propagating to a subclass,
and is taken straight off the class __dict__ to avoid any
propagation from the parent. mapper inheritance already
propagates the things you want from the parent mapper.
[ticket:1393]
- An exception is raised when a single-table subclass specifies
a column that is already present on the base class.
[ticket:1732]
- mysql
- Fixed reflection bug whereby when COLLATE was present,
nullable flag and server defaults would not be reflected.
[ticket:1655]
- Fixed reflection of TINYINT(1) "boolean" columns defined with
integer flags like UNSIGNED.
- Further fixes for the mysql-connector dialect. [ticket:1668]
- Composite PK table on InnoDB where the "autoincrement" column
isn't first will emit an explicit "KEY" phrase within
CREATE TABLE thereby avoiding errors, [ticket:1496]
- Added reflection/create table support for a wide range
of MySQL keywords. [ticket:1634]
- Fixed import error which could occur reflecting tables on
a Windows host [ticket:1580]
- mssql
- Re-established support for the pymssql dialect.
- Various fixes for implicit returning, reflection,
etc. - the MS-SQL dialects aren't quite complete
in 0.6 yet (but are close)
- Added basic support for mxODBC [ticket:1710].
- Removed the text_as_varchar option.
- oracle
- "out" parameters require a type that is supported by
cx_oracle. An error will be raised if no cx_oracle
type can be found.
- Oracle 'DATE' now does not perform any result processing,
as the DATE type in Oracle stores full date+time objects,
that's what you'll get. Note that the generic types.Date
type *will* still call value.date() on incoming values,
however. When reflecting a table, the reflected type
will be 'DATE'.
- Added preliminary support for Oracle's WITH_UNICODE
mode. At the very least this establishes initial
support for cx_Oracle with Python 3. When WITH_UNICODE
mode is used in Python 2.xx, a large and scary warning
is emitted asking that the user seriously consider
the usage of this difficult mode of operation.
[ticket:1670]
- The except_() method now renders as MINUS on Oracle,
which is more or less equivalent on that platform.
[ticket:1712]
- Added support for rendering and reflecting
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, i.e. TIMESTAMP(timezone=True).
[ticket:651]
- Oracle INTERVAL type can now be reflected.
- sqlite
- Added "native_datetime=True" flag to create_engine().
This will cause the DATE and TIMESTAMP types to skip
all bind parameter and result row processing, under
the assumption that PARSE_DECLTYPES has been enabled
on the connection. Note that this is not entirely
compatible with the "func.current_date()", which
will be returned as a string. [ticket:1685]
- sybase
- Implemented a preliminary working dialect for Sybase,
with sub-implementations for Python-Sybase as well
as Pyodbc. Handles table
creates/drops and basic round trip functionality.
Does not yet include reflection or comprehensive
support of unicode/special expressions/etc.
- examples
- Changed the beaker cache example a bit to have a separate
RelationCache option for lazyload caching. This object
does a lookup among any number of potential attributes
more efficiently by grouping several into a common structure.
Both FromCache and RelationCache are simpler individually.
- documentation
- Major cleanup work in the docs to link class, function, and
method names into the API docs. [ticket:1700/1702/1703]
0.6beta1
========
- Major Release
- For the full set of feature descriptions, see
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/06Migration .
This document is a work in progress.
- All bug fixes and feature enhancements from the most
recent 0.5 version and below are also included within 0.6.
- Platforms targeted now include Python 2.4/2.5/2.6, Python
3.1, Jython2.5.
- orm
- Changes to query.update() and query.delete():
- the 'expire' option on query.update() has been renamed to
'fetch', thus matching that of query.delete().
'expire' is deprecated and issues a warning.
- query.update() and query.delete() both default to
'evaluate' for the synchronize strategy.
- the 'synchronize' strategy for update() and delete()
raises an error on failure. There is no implicit fallback
onto "fetch". Failure of evaluation is based on the
structure of criteria, so success/failure is deterministic
based on code structure.
- Enhancements on many-to-one relations:
- many-to-one relations now fire off a lazyload in fewer
cases, including in most cases will not fetch the "old"
value when a new one is replaced.
- many-to-one relation to a joined-table subclass now uses
get() for a simple load (known as the "use_get"
condition), i.e. Related->Sub(Base), without the need to
redefine the primaryjoin condition in terms of the base
table. [ticket:1186]
- specifying a foreign key with a declarative column, i.e.
ForeignKey(MyRelatedClass.id) doesn't break the "use_get"
condition from taking place [ticket:1492]
- relation(), eagerload(), and eagerload_all() now feature
an option called "innerjoin". Specify `True` or `False` to
control whether an eager join is constructed as an INNER
or OUTER join. Default is `False` as always. The mapper
options will override whichever setting is specified on
relation(). Should generally be set for many-to-one, not
nullable foreign key relations to allow improved join
performance. [ticket:1544]
- the behavior of eagerloading such that the main query is
wrapped in a subquery when LIMIT/OFFSET are present now
makes an exception for the case when all eager loads are
many-to-one joins. In those cases, the eager joins are
against the parent table directly along with the
limit/offset without the extra overhead of a subquery,
since a many-to-one join does not add rows to the result.
- Enhancements / Changes on Session.merge():
- the "dont_load=True" flag on Session.merge() is deprecated
and is now "load=False".
- Session.merge() is performance optimized, using half the
call counts for "load=False" mode compared to 0.5 and
significantly fewer SQL queries in the case of collections
for "load=True" mode.
- merge() will not issue a needless merge of attributes if the
given instance is the same instance which is already present.
- merge() now also merges the "options" associated with a given
state, i.e. those passed through query.options() which follow
along with an instance, such as options to eagerly- or
lazyily- load various attributes. This is essential for
the construction of highly integrated caching schemes. This
is a subtle behavioral change vs. 0.5.
- A bug was fixed regarding the serialization of the "loader
path" present on an instance's state, which is also necessary
when combining the usage of merge() with serialized state
and associated options that should be preserved.
- The all new merge() is showcased in a new comprehensive
example of how to integrate Beaker with SQLAlchemy. See
the notes in the "examples" note below.
- Primary key values can now be changed on a joined-table inheritance
object, and ON UPDATE CASCADE will be taken into account when
the flush happens. Set the new "passive_updates" flag to False
on mapper() when using SQLite or MySQL/MyISAM. [ticket:1362]
- flush() now detects when a primary key column was updated by
an ON UPDATE CASCADE operation from another primary key, and
can then locate the row for a subsequent UPDATE on the new PK
value. This occurs when a relation() is there to establish
the relationship as well as passive_updates=True. [ticket:1671]
- the "save-update" cascade will now cascade the pending *removed*
values from a scalar or collection attribute into the new session
during an add() operation. This so that the flush() operation
will also delete or modify rows of those disconnected items.
- Using a "dynamic" loader with a "secondary" table now produces
a query where the "secondary" table is *not* aliased. This
allows the secondary Table object to be used in the "order_by"
attribute of the relation(), and also allows it to be used
in filter criterion against the dynamic relation.
[ticket:1531]
- relation() with uselist=False will emit a warning when
an eager or lazy load locates more than one valid value for
the row. This may be due to primaryjoin/secondaryjoin
conditions which aren't appropriate for an eager LEFT OUTER
JOIN or for other conditions. [ticket:1643]
- an explicit check occurs when a synonym() is used with
map_column=True, when a ColumnProperty (deferred or otherwise)
exists separately in the properties dictionary sent to mapper
with the same keyname. Instead of silently replacing
the existing property (and possible options on that property),
an error is raised. [ticket:1633]
- a "dynamic" loader sets up its query criterion at construction
time so that the actual query is returned from non-cloning
accessors like "statement".
- the "named tuple" objects returned when iterating a
Query() are now pickleable.
- mapping to a select() construct now requires that you
make an alias() out of it distinctly. This to eliminate
confusion over such issues as [ticket:1542]
- query.join() has been reworked to provide more consistent
behavior and more flexibility (includes [ticket:1537])
- query.select_from() accepts multiple clauses to produce
multiple comma separated entries within the FROM clause.
Useful when selecting from multiple-homed join() clauses.
- query.select_from() also accepts mapped classes, aliased()
constructs, and mappers as arguments. In particular this
helps when querying from multiple joined-table classes to ensure
the full join gets rendered.
- query.get() can be used with a mapping to an outer join
where one or more of the primary key values are None.
[ticket:1135]
- query.from_self(), query.union(), others which do a
"SELECT * from (SELECT...)" type of nesting will do
a better job translating column expressions within the subquery
to the columns clause of the outer query. This is
potentially backwards incompatible with 0.5, in that this
may break queries with literal expressions that do not have labels
applied (i.e. literal('foo'), etc.)
[ticket:1568]
- relation primaryjoin and secondaryjoin now check that they
are column-expressions, not just clause elements. this prohibits
things like FROM expressions being placed there directly.
[ticket:1622]
- `expression.null()` is fully understood the same way
None is when comparing an object/collection-referencing
attribute within query.filter(), filter_by(), etc.
[ticket:1415]
- added "make_transient()" helper function which transforms a
persistent/ detached instance into a transient one (i.e.
deletes the instance_key and removes from any session.)
[ticket:1052]
- the allow_null_pks flag on mapper() is deprecated, and
the feature is turned "on" by default. This means that
a row which has a non-null value for any of its primary key
columns will be considered an identity. The need for this
scenario typically only occurs when mapping to an outer join.
[ticket:1339]
- the mechanics of "backref" have been fully merged into the
finer grained "back_populates" system, and take place entirely
within the _generate_backref() method of RelationProperty. This
makes the initialization procedure of RelationProperty
simpler and allows easier propagation of settings (such as from
subclasses of RelationProperty) into the reverse reference.
The internal BackRef() is gone and backref() returns a plain
tuple that is understood by RelationProperty.
- The version_id_col feature on mapper() will raise a warning when
used with dialects that don't support "rowcount" adequately.
[ticket:1569]
- added "execution_options()" to Query, to so options can be
passed to the resulting statement. Currently only
Select-statements have these options, and the only option
used is "stream_results", and the only dialect which knows
"stream_results" is psycopg2.
- Query.yield_per() will set the "stream_results" statement
option automatically.
- Deprecated or removed:
* 'allow_null_pks' flag on mapper() is deprecated. It does
nothing now and the setting is "on" in all cases.
* 'transactional' flag on sessionmaker() and others is
removed. Use 'autocommit=True' to indicate 'transactional=False'.
* 'polymorphic_fetch' argument on mapper() is removed.
Loading can be controlled using the 'with_polymorphic'
option.
* 'select_table' argument on mapper() is removed. Use
'with_polymorphic=("*", <some selectable>)' for this
functionality.
* 'proxy' argument on synonym() is removed. This flag
did nothing throughout 0.5, as the "proxy generation"
behavior is now automatic.
* Passing a single list of elements to eagerload(),
eagerload_all(), contains_eager(), lazyload(),
defer(), and undefer() instead of multiple positional
*args is deprecated.
* Passing a single list of elements to query.order_by(),
query.group_by(), query.join(), or query.outerjoin()
instead of multiple positional *args is deprecated.
* query.iterate_instances() is removed. Use query.instances().
* Query.query_from_parent() is removed. Use the
sqlalchemy.orm.with_parent() function to produce a
"parent" clause, or alternatively query.with_parent().
* query._from_self() is removed, use query.from_self()
instead.
* the "comparator" argument to composite() is removed.
Use "comparator_factory".
* RelationProperty._get_join() is removed.
* the 'echo_uow' flag on Session is removed. Use
logging on the "sqlalchemy.orm.unitofwork" name.
* session.clear() is removed. use session.expunge_all().
* session.save(), session.update(), session.save_or_update()
are removed. Use session.add() and session.add_all().
* the "objects" flag on session.flush() remains deprecated.
* the "dont_load=True" flag on session.merge() is deprecated
in favor of "load=False".
* ScopedSession.mapper remains deprecated. See the
usage recipe at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/SessionAwareMapper
* passing an InstanceState (internal SQLAlchemy state object) to
attributes.init_collection() or attributes.get_history() is
deprecated. These functions are public API and normally
expect a regular mapped object instance.
* the 'engine' parameter to declarative_base() is removed.
Use the 'bind' keyword argument.
- sql
- the "autocommit" flag on select() and text() as well
as select().autocommit() are deprecated - now call
.execution_options(autocommit=True) on either of those
constructs, also available directly on Connection and orm.Query.
- the autoincrement flag on column now indicates the column
which should be linked to cursor.lastrowid, if that method
is used. See the API docs for details.
- an executemany() now requires that all bound parameter
sets require that all keys are present which are
present in the first bound parameter set. The structure
and behavior of an insert/update statement is very much
determined by the first parameter set, including which
defaults are going to fire off, and a minimum of
guesswork is performed with all the rest so that performance
is not impacted. For this reason defaults would otherwise
silently "fail" for missing parameters, so this is now guarded
against. [ticket:1566]
- returning() support is native to insert(), update(),
delete(). Implementations of varying levels of
functionality exist for Postgresql, Firebird, MSSQL and
Oracle. returning() can be called explicitly with column
expressions which are then returned in the resultset,
usually via fetchone() or first().
insert() constructs will also use RETURNING implicitly to
get newly generated primary key values, if the database
version in use supports it (a version number check is
performed). This occurs if no end-user returning() was
specified.
- union(), intersect(), except() and other "compound" types
of statements have more consistent behavior w.r.t.
parenthesizing. Each compound element embedded within
another will now be grouped with parenthesis - previously,
the first compound element in the list would not be grouped,
as SQLite doesn't like a statement to start with
parenthesis. However, Postgresql in particular has
precedence rules regarding INTERSECT, and it is
more consistent for parenthesis to be applied equally
to all sub-elements. So now, the workaround for SQLite
is also what the workaround for PG was previously -
when nesting compound elements, the first one usually needs
".alias().select()" called on it to wrap it inside
of a subquery. [ticket:1665]
- insert() and update() constructs can now embed bindparam()
objects using names that match the keys of columns. These
bind parameters will circumvent the usual route to those
keys showing up in the VALUES or SET clause of the generated
SQL. [ticket:1579]
- the Binary type now returns data as a Python string
(or a "bytes" type in Python 3), instead of the built-
in "buffer" type. This allows symmetric round trips
of binary data. [ticket:1524]
- Added a tuple_() construct, allows sets of expressions
to be compared to another set, typically with IN against
composite primary keys or similar. Also accepts an
IN with multiple columns. The "scalar select can
have only one column" error message is removed - will
rely upon the database to report problems with
col mismatch.
- User-defined "default" and "onupdate" callables which
accept a context should now call upon
"context.current_parameters" to get at the dictionary
of bind parameters currently being processed. This
dict is available in the same way regardless of
single-execute or executemany-style statement execution.
- multi-part schema names, i.e. with dots such as
"dbo.master", are now rendered in select() labels
with underscores for dots, i.e. "dbo_master_table_column".
This is a "friendly" label that behaves better
in result sets. [ticket:1428]
- removed needless "counter" behavior with select()
labelnames that match a column name in the table,
i.e. generates "tablename_id" for "id", instead of
"tablename_id_1" in an attempt to avoid naming
conflicts, when the table has a column actually
named "tablename_id" - this is because
the labeling logic is always applied to all columns
so a naming conflict will never occur.
- calling expr.in_([]), i.e. with an empty list, emits a warning
before issuing the usual "expr != expr" clause. The
"expr != expr" can be very expensive, and it's preferred
that the user not issue in_() if the list is empty,
instead simply not querying, or modifying the criterion
as appropriate for more complex situations.
[ticket:1628]
- Added "execution_options()" to select()/text(), which set the
default options for the Connection. See the note in "engines".
- Deprecated or removed:
* "scalar" flag on select() is removed, use
select.as_scalar().
* "shortname" attribute on bindparam() is removed.
* postgres_returning, firebird_returning flags on
insert(), update(), delete() are deprecated, use
the new returning() method.
* fold_equivalents flag on join is deprecated (will remain
until [ticket:1131] is implemented)
- engines
- transaction isolation level may be specified with
create_engine(... isolation_level="..."); available on
postgresql and sqlite. [ticket:443]
- Connection has execution_options(), generative method
which accepts keywords that affect how the statement
is executed w.r.t. the DBAPI. Currently supports
"stream_results", causes psycopg2 to use a server
side cursor for that statement, as well as
"autocommit", which is the new location for the "autocommit"
option from select() and text(). select() and
text() also have .execution_options() as well as
ORM Query().
- fixed the import for entrypoint-driven dialects to
not rely upon silly tb_info trick to determine import
error status. [ticket:1630]
- added first() method to ResultProxy, returns first row and
closes result set immediately.
- RowProxy objects are now pickleable, i.e. the object returned
by result.fetchone(), result.fetchall() etc.
- RowProxy no longer has a close() method, as the row no longer
maintains a reference to the parent. Call close() on
the parent ResultProxy instead, or use autoclose.
- ResultProxy internals have been overhauled to greatly reduce
method call counts when fetching columns. Can provide a large
speed improvement (up to more than 100%) when fetching large
result sets. The improvement is larger when fetching columns
that have no type-level processing applied and when using
results as tuples (instead of as dictionaries). Many
thanks to Elixir's Gaëtan de Menten for this dramatic
improvement ! [ticket:1586]
- Databases which rely upon postfetch of "last inserted id"
to get at a generated sequence value (i.e. MySQL, MS-SQL)
now work correctly when there is a composite primary key
where the "autoincrement" column is not the first primary
key column in the table.
- the last_inserted_ids() method has been renamed to the
descriptor "inserted_primary_key".
- setting echo=False on create_engine() now sets the loglevel
to WARN instead of NOTSET. This so that logging can be
disabled for a particular engine even if logging
for "sqlalchemy.engine" is enabled overall. Note that the
default setting of "echo" is `None`. [ticket:1554]
- ConnectionProxy now has wrapper methods for all transaction
lifecycle events, including begin(), rollback(), commit()
begin_nested(), begin_prepared(), prepare(), release_savepoint(),
etc.
- Connection pool logging now uses both INFO and DEBUG
log levels for logging. INFO is for major events such
as invalidated connections, DEBUG for all the acquire/return
logging. `echo_pool` can be False, None, True or "debug"
the same way as `echo` works.
- All pyodbc-dialects now support extra pyodbc-specific
kw arguments 'ansi', 'unicode_results', 'autocommit'.
[ticket:1621]
- the "threadlocal" engine has been rewritten and simplified
and now supports SAVEPOINT operations.
- deprecated or removed
* result.last_inserted_ids() is deprecated. Use
result.inserted_primary_key
* dialect.get_default_schema_name(connection) is now
public via dialect.default_schema_name.
* the "connection" argument from engine.transaction() and
engine.run_callable() is removed - Connection itself
now has those methods. All four methods accept
*args and **kwargs which are passed to the given callable,
as well as the operating connection.
- schema
- the `__contains__()` method of `MetaData` now accepts
strings or `Table` objects as arguments. If given
a `Table`, the argument is converted to `table.key` first,
i.e. "[schemaname.]<tablename>" [ticket:1541]
- deprecated MetaData.connect() and
ThreadLocalMetaData.connect() have been removed - send
the "bind" attribute to bind a metadata.
- deprecated metadata.table_iterator() method removed (use
sorted_tables)
- deprecated PassiveDefault - use DefaultClause.
- the "metadata" argument is removed from DefaultGenerator
and subclasses, but remains locally present on Sequence,
which is a standalone construct in DDL.
- Removed public mutability from Index and Constraint
objects:
- ForeignKeyConstraint.append_element()
- Index.append_column()
- UniqueConstraint.append_column()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.add()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.remove()
These should be constructed declaratively (i.e. in one
construction).
- The "start" and "increment" attributes on Sequence now
generate "START WITH" and "INCREMENT BY" by default,
on Oracle and Postgresql. Firebird doesn't support
these keywords right now. [ticket:1545]
- UniqueConstraint, Index, PrimaryKeyConstraint all accept
lists of column names or column objects as arguments.
- Other removed things:
- Table.key (no idea what this was for)
- Table.primary_key is not assignable - use
table.append_constraint(PrimaryKeyConstraint(...))
- Column.bind (get via column.table.bind)
- Column.metadata (get via column.table.metadata)
- Column.sequence (use column.default)
- ForeignKey(constraint=some_parent) (is now private _constraint)
- The use_alter flag on ForeignKey is now a shortcut option
for operations that can be hand-constructed using the
DDL() event system. A side effect of this refactor is
that ForeignKeyConstraint objects with use_alter=True
will *not* be emitted on SQLite, which does not support
ALTER for foreign keys.
- ForeignKey and ForeignKeyConstraint objects now correctly
copy() all their public keyword arguments. [ticket:1605]
- Reflection/Inspection
- Table reflection has been expanded and generalized into
a new API called "sqlalchemy.engine.reflection.Inspector".
The Inspector object provides fine-grained information about
a wide variety of schema information, with room for expansion,
including table names, column names, view definitions, sequences,
indexes, etc.
- Views are now reflectable as ordinary Table objects. The same
Table constructor is used, with the caveat that "effective"
primary and foreign key constraints aren't part of the reflection
results; these have to be specified explicitly if desired.
- The existing autoload=True system now uses Inspector underneath
so that each dialect need only return "raw" data about tables
and other objects - Inspector is the single place that information
is compiled into Table objects so that consistency is at a maximum.
- DDL
- the DDL system has been greatly expanded. the DDL() class
now extends the more generic DDLElement(), which forms the basis
of many new constructs:
- CreateTable()
- DropTable()
- AddConstraint()
- DropConstraint()
- CreateIndex()
- DropIndex()
- CreateSequence()
- DropSequence()
These support "on" and "execute-at()" just like plain DDL()
does. User-defined DDLElement subclasses can be created and
linked to a compiler using the sqlalchemy.ext.compiler extension.
- The signature of the "on" callable passed to DDL() and
DDLElement() is revised as follows:
"ddl" - the DDLElement object itself.
"event" - the string event name.
"target" - previously "schema_item", the Table or
MetaData object triggering the event.
"connection" - the Connection object in use for the operation.
**kw - keyword arguments. In the case of MetaData before/after
create/drop, the list of Table objects for which
CREATE/DROP DDL is to be issued is passed as the kw
argument "tables". This is necessary for metadata-level
DDL that is dependent on the presence of specific tables.
- the "schema_item" attribute of DDL has been renamed to
"target".
- dialect refactor
- Dialect modules are now broken into database dialects
plus DBAPI implementations. Connect URLs are now
preferred to be specified using dialect+driver://...,
i.e. "mysql+mysqldb://scott:tiger@localhost/test". See
the 0.6 documentation for examples.
- the setuptools entrypoint for external dialects is now
called "sqlalchemy.dialects".
- the "owner" keyword argument is removed from Table. Use
"schema" to represent any namespaces to be prepended to
the table name.
- server_version_info becomes a static attribute.
- dialects receive an initialize() event on initial
connection to determine connection properties.
- dialects receive a visit_pool event have an opportunity
to establish pool listeners.
- cached TypeEngine classes are cached per-dialect class
instead of per-dialect.
- new UserDefinedType should be used as a base class for
new types, which preserves the 0.5 behavior of
get_col_spec().
- The result_processor() method of all type classes now
accepts a second argument "coltype", which is the DBAPI
type argument from cursor.description. This argument
can help some types decide on the most efficient processing
of result values.
- Deprecated Dialect.get_params() removed.
- Dialect.get_rowcount() has been renamed to a descriptor
"rowcount", and calls cursor.rowcount directly. Dialects
which need to hardwire a rowcount in for certain calls
should override the method to provide different behavior.
- DefaultRunner and subclasses have been removed. The job
of this object has been simplified and moved into
ExecutionContext. Dialects which support sequences should
add a `fire_sequence()` method to their execution context
implementation. [ticket:1566]
- Functions and operators generated by the compiler now use
(almost) regular dispatch functions of the form
"visit_<opname>" and "visit_<funcname>_fn" to provide
customed processing. This replaces the need to copy the
"functions" and "operators" dictionaries in compiler
subclasses with straightforward visitor methods, and also
allows compiler subclasses complete control over
rendering, as the full _Function or _BinaryExpression
object is passed in.
- postgresql
- New dialects: pg8000, zxjdbc, and pypostgresql
on py3k.
- The "postgres" dialect is now named "postgresql" !
Connection strings look like:
postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test
postgresql+pg8000://scott:tiger@localhost/test
The "postgres" name remains for backwards compatiblity
in the following ways:
- There is a "postgres.py" dummy dialect which
allows old URLs to work, i.e.
postgres://scott:tiger@localhost/test
- The "postgres" name can be imported from the old
"databases" module, i.e. "from
sqlalchemy.databases import postgres" as well as
"dialects", "from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgres
import base as pg", will send a deprecation
warning.
- Special expression arguments are now named
"postgresql_returning" and "postgresql_where", but
the older "postgres_returning" and
"postgres_where" names still work with a
deprecation warning.
- "postgresql_where" now accepts SQL expressions which
can also include literals, which will be quoted as needed.
- The psycopg2 dialect now uses psycopg2's "unicode extension"
on all new connections, which allows all String/Text/etc.
types to skip the need to post-process bytestrings into
unicode (an expensive step due to its volume). Other
dialects which return unicode natively (pg8000, zxjdbc)
also skip unicode post-processing.
- Added new ENUM type, which exists as a schema-level
construct and extends the generic Enum type. Automatically
associates itself with tables and their parent metadata
to issue the appropriate CREATE TYPE/DROP TYPE
commands as needed, supports unicode labels, supports
reflection. [ticket:1511]
- INTERVAL supports an optional "precision" argument
corresponding to the argument that PG accepts.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
psycopg2 can't handle a bind parameter name of
%(foobar)s however and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead
just to treat that one non-existent use case.
[ticket:1279]
- Inserting NULL into a primary key + foreign key column
will allow the "not null constraint" error to raise,
not an attempt to execute a nonexistent "col_id_seq"
sequence. [ticket:1516]
- autoincrement SELECT statements, i.e. those which
select from a procedure that modifies rows, now work
with server-side cursor mode (the named cursor isn't
used for such statements.)
- postgresql dialect can properly detect pg "devel" version
strings, i.e. "8.5devel" [ticket:1636]
- The psycopg2 now respects the statement option
"stream_results". This option overrides the connection setting
"server_side_cursors". If true, server side cursors will be
used for the statement. If false, they will not be used, even
if "server_side_cursors" is true on the
connection. [ticket:1619]
- mysql
- New dialects: oursql, a new native dialect,
MySQL Connector/Python, a native Python port of MySQLdb,
and of course zxjdbc on Jython.
- VARCHAR/NVARCHAR will not render without a length, raises
an error before passing to MySQL. Doesn't impact
CAST since VARCHAR is not allowed in MySQL CAST anyway,
the dialect renders CHAR/NCHAR in those cases.
- all the _detect_XXX() functions now run once underneath
dialect.initialize()
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
MySQLdb can't handle % signs in SQL when executemany() is used,
and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead just to treat that one
non-existent use case. [ticket:1279]
- the BINARY and MSBinary types now generate "BINARY" in all
cases. Omitting the "length" parameter will generate
"BINARY" with no length. Use BLOB to generate an unlengthed
binary column.
- the "quoting='quoted'" argument to MSEnum/ENUM is deprecated.
It's best to rely upon the automatic quoting.
- ENUM now subclasses the new generic Enum type, and also handles
unicode values implicitly, if the given labelnames are unicode
objects.
- a column of type TIMESTAMP now defaults to NULL if
"nullable=False" is not passed to Column(), and no default
is present. This is now consistent with all other types,
and in the case of TIMESTAMP explictly renders "NULL"
due to MySQL's "switching" of default nullability
for TIMESTAMP columns. [ticket:1539]
- oracle
- unit tests pass 100% with cx_oracle !
- support for cx_Oracle's "native unicode" mode which does
not require NLS_LANG to be set. Use the latest 5.0.2 or
later of cx_oracle.
- an NCLOB type is added to the base types.
- use_ansi=False won't leak into the FROM/WHERE clause of
a statement that's selecting from a subquery that also
uses JOIN/OUTERJOIN.
- added native INTERVAL type to the dialect. This supports
only the DAY TO SECOND interval type so far due to lack
of support in cx_oracle for YEAR TO MONTH. [ticket:1467]
- usage of the CHAR type results in cx_oracle's
FIXED_CHAR dbapi type being bound to statements.
- the Oracle dialect now features NUMBER which intends
to act justlike Oracle's NUMBER type. It is the primary
numeric type returned by table reflection and attempts
to return Decimal()/float/int based on the precision/scale
parameters. [ticket:885]
- func.char_length is a generic function for LENGTH
- ForeignKey() which includes onupdate=<value> will emit a
warning, not emit ON UPDATE CASCADE which is unsupported
by oracle
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- using types.BigInteger with Oracle will generate
NUMBER(19) [ticket:1125]
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- firebird
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- mssql
- MSSQL + Pyodbc + FreeTDS now works for the most part,
with possible exceptions regarding binary data as well as
unicode schema identifiers.
- the "has_window_funcs" flag is removed. LIMIT/OFFSET
usage will use ROW NUMBER as always, and if on an older
version of SQL Server, the operation fails. The behavior
is exactly the same except the error is raised by SQL
server instead of the dialect, and no flag setting is
required to enable it.
- the "auto_identity_insert" flag is removed. This feature
always takes effect when an INSERT statement overrides a
column that is known to have a sequence on it. As with
"has_window_funcs", if the underlying driver doesn't
support this, then you can't do this operation in any
case, so there's no point in having a flag.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- removed references to sequence which is no longer used.
implicit identities in mssql work the same as implicit
sequences on any other dialects. Explicit sequences are
enabled through the use of "default=Sequence()". See
the MSSQL dialect documentation for more information.
- sqlite
- DATE, TIME and DATETIME types can now take optional storage_format
and regexp argument. storage_format can be used to store those types
using a custom string format. regexp allows to use a custom regular
expression to match string values from the database.
- Time and DateTime types now use by a default a stricter regular
expression to match strings from the database. Use the regexp
argument if you are using data stored in a legacy format.
- __legacy_microseconds__ on SQLite Time and DateTime types is not
supported anymore. You should use the storage_format argument
instead.
- Date, Time and DateTime types are now stricter in what they accept as
bind parameters: Date type only accepts date objects (and datetime
ones, because they inherit from date), Time only accepts time
objects, and DateTime only accepts date and datetime objects.
- Table() supports a keyword argument "sqlite_autoincrement", which
applies the SQLite keyword "AUTOINCREMENT" to the single integer
primary key column when generating DDL. Will prevent generation of
a separate PRIMARY KEY constraint. [ticket:1016]
- new dialects
- postgresql+pg8000
- postgresql+pypostgresql (partial)
- postgresql+zxjdbc
- mysql+pyodbc
- mysql+zxjdbc
- types
- The construction of types within dialects has been totally
overhauled. Dialects now define publically available types
as UPPERCASE names exclusively, and internal implementation
types using underscore identifiers (i.e. are private).
The system by which types are expressed in SQL and DDL
has been moved to the compiler system. This has the
effect that there are much fewer type objects within
most dialects. A detailed document on this architecture
for dialect authors is in
lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/type_migration_guidelines.txt .
- Types no longer make any guesses as to default
parameters. In particular, Numeric, Float, NUMERIC,
FLOAT, DECIMAL don't generate any length or scale unless
specified.
- types.Binary is renamed to types.LargeBinary, it only
produces BLOB, BYTEA, or a similar "long binary" type.
New base BINARY and VARBINARY
types have been added to access these MySQL/MS-SQL specific
types in an agnostic way [ticket:1664].
- String/Text/Unicode types now skip the unicode() check
on each result column value if the dialect has
detected the DBAPI as returning Python unicode objects
natively. This check is issued on first connect
using "SELECT CAST 'some text' AS VARCHAR(10)" or
equivalent, then checking if the returned object
is a Python unicode. This allows vast performance
increases for native-unicode DBAPIs, including
pysqlite/sqlite3, psycopg2, and pg8000.
- Most types result processors have been checked for possible speed
improvements. Specifically, the following generic types have been
optimized, resulting in varying speed improvements:
Unicode, PickleType, Interval, TypeDecorator, Binary.
Also the following dbapi-specific implementations have been improved:
Time, Date and DateTime on Sqlite, ARRAY on Postgresql,
Time on MySQL, Numeric(as_decimal=False) on MySQL, oursql and
pypostgresql, DateTime on cx_oracle and LOB-based types on cx_oracle.
- Reflection of types now returns the exact UPPERCASE
type within types.py, or the UPPERCASE type within
the dialect itself if the type is not a standard SQL
type. This means reflection now returns more accurate
information about reflected types.
- Added a new Enum generic type. Enum is a schema-aware object
to support databases which require specific DDL in order to
use enum or equivalent; in the case of PG it handles the
details of `CREATE TYPE`, and on other databases without
native enum support will by generate VARCHAR + an inline CHECK
constraint to enforce the enum.
[ticket:1109] [ticket:1511]
- The Interval type includes a "native" flag which controls
if native INTERVAL types (postgresql + oracle) are selected
if available, or not. "day_precision" and "second_precision"
arguments are also added which propagate as appropriately
to these native types. Related to [ticket:1467].
- The Boolean type, when used on a backend that doesn't
have native boolean support, will generate a CHECK
constraint "col IN (0, 1)" along with the int/smallint-
based column type. This can be switched off if
desired with create_constraint=False.
Note that MySQL has no native boolean *or* CHECK constraint
support so this feature isn't available on that platform.
[ticket:1589]
- PickleType now uses == for comparison of values when
mutable=True, unless the "comparator" argument with a
comparsion function is specified to the type. Objects
being pickled will be compared based on identity (which
defeats the purpose of mutable=True) if __eq__() is not
overridden or a comparison function is not provided.
- The default "precision" and "scale" arguments of Numeric
and Float have been removed and now default to None.
NUMERIC and FLOAT will be rendered with no numeric
arguments by default unless these values are provided.
- AbstractType.get_search_list() is removed - the games
that was used for are no longer necessary.
- Added a generic BigInteger type, compiles to
BIGINT or NUMBER(19). [ticket:1125]
-ext
- sqlsoup has been overhauled to explicitly support an 0.5 style
session, using autocommit=False, autoflush=True. Default
behavior of SQLSoup now requires the usual usage of commit()
and rollback(), which have been added to its interface. An
explcit Session or scoped_session can be passed to the
constructor, allowing these arguments to be overridden.
- sqlsoup db.<sometable>.update() and delete() now call
query(cls).update() and delete(), respectively.
- sqlsoup now has execute() and connection(), which call upon
the Session methods of those names, ensuring that the bind is
in terms of the SqlSoup object's bind.
- sqlsoup objects no longer have the 'query' attribute - it's
not needed for sqlsoup's usage paradigm and it gets in the
way of a column that is actually named 'query'.
- The signature of the proxy_factory callable passed to
association_proxy is now (lazy_collection, creator,
value_attr, association_proxy), adding a fourth argument
that is the parent AssociationProxy argument. Allows
serializability and subclassing of the built in collections.
[ticket:1259]
- association_proxy now has basic comparator methods .any(),
.has(), .contains(), ==, !=, thanks to Scott Torborg.
[ticket:1372]
- examples
- The "query_cache" examples have been removed, and are replaced
with a fully comprehensive approach that combines the usage of
Beaker with SQLAlchemy. New query options are used to indicate
the caching characteristics of a particular Query, which
can also be invoked deep within an object graph when lazily
loading related objects. See /examples/beaker_caching/README.
0.5.9
=====
- sql
- Fixed erroneous self_group() call in expression package.
[ticket:1661]
0.5.8
=====
- sql
- The copy() method on Column now supports uninitialized,
unnamed Column objects. This allows easy creation of
declarative helpers which place common columns on multiple
subclasses.
- Default generators like Sequence() translate correctly
across a copy() operation.
- Sequence() and other DefaultGenerator objects are accepted
as the value for the "default" and "onupdate" keyword
arguments of Column, in addition to being accepted
positionally.
- Fixed a column arithmetic bug that affected column
correspondence for cloned selectables which contain
free-standing column expressions. This bug is
generally only noticeable when exercising newer
ORM behavior only availble in 0.6 via [ticket:1568],
but is more correct at the SQL expression level
as well. [ticket:1617]
- postgresql
- The extract() function, which was slightly improved in
0.5.7, needed a lot more work to generate the correct
typecast (the typecasts appear to be necessary in PG's
EXTRACT quite a lot of the time). The typecast is
now generated using a rule dictionary based
on PG's documentation for date/time/interval arithmetic.
It also accepts text() constructs again, which was broken
in 0.5.7. [ticket:1647]
- firebird
- Recognize more errors as disconnections. [ticket:1646]
0.5.7
=====
- orm
- contains_eager() now works with the automatically
generated subquery that results when you say
"query(Parent).join(Parent.somejoinedsubclass)", i.e.
when Parent joins to a joined-table-inheritance subclass.
Previously contains_eager() would erroneously add the
subclass table to the query separately producing a
cartesian product. An example is in the ticket
description. [ticket:1543]
- query.options() now only propagate to loaded objects
for potential further sub-loads only for options where
such behavior is relevant, keeping
various unserializable options like those generated
by contains_eager() out of individual instance states.
[ticket:1553]
- Session.execute() now locates table- and
mapper-specific binds based on a passed
in expression which is an insert()/update()/delete()
construct. [ticket:1054]
- Session.merge() now properly overwrites a many-to-one or
uselist=False attribute to None if the attribute
is also None in the given object to be merged.
- Fixed a needless select which would occur when merging
transient objects that contained a null primary key
identifier. [ticket:1618]
- Mutable collection passed to the "extension" attribute
of relation(), column_property() etc. will not be mutated
or shared among multiple instrumentation calls, preventing
duplicate extensions, such as backref populators,
from being inserted into the list.
[ticket:1585]
- Fixed the call to get_committed_value() on CompositeProperty.
[ticket:1504]
- Fixed bug where Query would crash if a join() with no clear
"left" side were called when a non-mapped column entity
appeared in the columns list. [ticket:1602]
- Fixed bug whereby composite columns wouldn't load properly
when configured on a joined-table subclass, introduced in
version 0.5.6 as a result of the fix for [ticket:1480].
[ticket:1616] thx to Scott Torborg.
- The "use get" behavior of many-to-one relations, i.e. that a
lazy load will fallback to the possibly cached query.get()
value, now works across join conditions where the two compared
types are not exactly the same class, but share the same
"affinity" - i.e. Integer and SmallInteger. Also allows
combinations of reflected and non-reflected types to work
with 0.5 style type reflection, such as PGText/Text (note 0.6
reflects types as their generic versions). [ticket:1556]
- Fixed bug in query.update() when passing Cls.attribute
as keys in the value dict and using synchronize_session='expire'
('fetch' in 0.6). [ticket:1436]
- sql
- Fixed bug in two-phase transaction whereby commit() method
didn't set the full state which allows subsequent close()
call to succeed. [ticket:1603]
- Fixed the "numeric" paramstyle, which apparently is the
default paramstyle used by Informixdb.
- Repeat expressions in the columns clause of a select
are deduped based on the identity of each clause element,
not the actual string. This allows positional
elements to render correctly even if they all render
identically, such as "qmark" style bind parameters.
[ticket:1574]
- The cursor associated with connection pool connections
(i.e. _CursorFairy) now proxies `__iter__()` to the
underlying cursor correctly. [ticket:1632]
- types now support an "affinity comparison" operation, i.e.
that an Integer/SmallInteger are "compatible", or
a Text/String, PickleType/Binary, etc. Part of
[ticket:1556].
- Fixed bug preventing alias() of an alias() from being
cloned or adapted (occurs frequently in ORM operations).
[ticket:1641]
- sqlite
- sqlite dialect properly generates CREATE INDEX for a table
that is in an alternate schema. [ticket:1439]
- postgresql
- Added support for reflecting the DOUBLE PRECISION type,
via a new postgres.PGDoublePrecision object.
This is postgresql.DOUBLE_PRECISION in 0.6.
[ticket:1085]
- Added support for reflecting the INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND syntaxes of the INTERVAL
type. [ticket:460]
- Corrected the "has_sequence" query to take current schema,
or explicit sequence-stated schema, into account.
[ticket:1576]
- Fixed the behavior of extract() to apply operator
precedence rules to the "::" operator when applying
the "timestamp" cast - ensures proper parenthesization.
[ticket:1611]
- mssql
- Changed the name of TrustedConnection to
Trusted_Connection when constructing pyodbc connect
arguments [ticket:1561]
- oracle
- The "table_names" dialect function, used by MetaData
.reflect(), omits "index overflow tables", a system
table generated by Oracle when "index only tables"
with overflow are used. These tables aren't accessible
via SQL and can't be reflected. [ticket:1637]
- ext
- A column can be added to a joined-table declarative
superclass after the class has been constructed
(i.e. via class-level attribute assignment), and
the column will be propagated down to
subclasses. [ticket:1570] This is the reverse
situation as that of [ticket:1523], fixed in 0.5.6.
- Fixed a slight inaccuracy in the sharding example.
Comparing equivalence of columns in the ORM is best
accomplished using col1.shares_lineage(col2).
[ticket:1491]
- Removed unused `load()` method from ShardedQuery.
[ticket:1606]

Update py-sqlalchemy to version 0.8.2.
Changes since 0.7.10:
- Compatibility for Python 2.4 is being dropped.
- The primaryjoin argument is no longer needed when constructing a
relationship() against a class that has multiple foreign key paths to the
target.
- Relationships against self-referential, composite foreign keys where a
column points to itself are now supported.
- Previously difficult custom join conditions, like those involving
functions and/or CASTing of types, will now function as expected in most
cases.
- New Class/Object Inspection System.
- A new enhancement to the aliased() construct has been added called
with_polymorphic() which allows any entity to be “aliased” into a
“polymorphic” version of itself, freely usable anywhere.
- The PropComparator.of_type() method can now be used to target any number
of target subtypes, by combining it with the new with_polymorphic()
function.
- Mapper and instance events can now be associated with an unmapped
superclass, where those events will be propagated to subclasses as those
subclasses are mapped. The propagate=True flag should be used.
- The registry of class names is now sensitive to the owning module and
package of a given class. The classes can be referred to via dotted name
in expressions.
- The “deferred reflection” feature allows the construction of declarative
mapped classes with only placeholder Table metadata, until a prepare()
step is called, given an Engine with which to reflect fully all tables
and establish actual mappings. The system supports overriding of columns,
single and joined inheritance, as well as distinct bases-per-engine.
- A new SQL registration system allows a mapped class to be accepted as a
FROM clause within the core.
- The new UPDATE..FROM mechanics work in query.update().
- Upon rollback(), only those objects that were made dirty since the last
flush will be expired, the rest of the Session remains intact.
- Caching Example now uses dogpile.cache.
- The new operator system in Core associates new and overridden operators
with types.
- SQL expressions can now be associated with types.
- The inspect() function introduced in New Class/Object Inspection System
also applies to the core.
- select() now has a method Select.correlate_except() which specifies
“correlate on all FROM clauses except those specified”.
- Support for Postgresql’s HSTORE type is now available as
postgresql.HSTORE. This type makes great usage of the new operator system
to provide a full range of operators for HSTORE types, including index
access, concatenation, and containment methods such as has_key(),
has_any(), and matrix().
- The postgresql.ARRAY type will accept an optional “dimension” argument,
pinning it to a fixed number of dimensions and greatly improving
efficiency when retrieving results.
- SQLite has no built-in DATE, TIME, or DATETIME types, and instead
provides some support for storage of date and time values either as
strings or integers.
- The “collate” keyword, long accepted by the MySQL dialect, is now
established on all String types and will render on any backend, including
when features such as MetaData.create_all() and cast() is used.
- Geared towards MySQL, a “prefix” can be rendered within any of these
constructs.
- The consideration of a “pending” object as an “orphan” has been made more
aggressive.
- The after_attach event fires after the item is associated with the
Session instead of before; before_attach added.
- Query now auto-correlates like a select() does.
- Correlation is now always context-specific.
- create_all() and drop_all() will now honor an empty list as such.
- Repaired the Event Targeting of InstrumentationEvents.
- No more magic coercion of “=” to IN when comparing to subquery in
MS-SQL.
- The Session.is_modified() method accepts an argument passive which
basically should not be necessary, the argument in all cases should be
the value True - when left at its default of False it would have the
effect of hitting the database, and often triggering autoflush which
would itself change the results. In 0.8 the passive argument will have no
effect, and unloaded attributes will never be checked for history since
by definition there can be no pending state change on an unloaded
attribute.
- Column.key is honored in the Select.c attribute of select() with
Select.apply_labels().
- A relationship() that is many-to-one or many-to-many and specifies
“cascade=’all, delete-orphan’”, which is an awkward but nonetheless
supported use case (with restrictions) will now raise an error if the
relationship does not specify the single_parent=True option.
- Adding the inspector argument to the column_reflect event.
- The MySQL dialect does two calls, one very expensive, to load all
possible collations from the database as well as information on casing,
the first time an Engine connects. Neither of these collections are used
for any SQLAlchemy functions, so these calls will be changed to no longer
be emitted automatically. Applications that might have relied on these
collections being present on engine.dialect will need to call upon
_detect_collations() and _detect_casing() directly.
- Inspector.get_primary_keys() is deprecated, use
Inspector.get_pk_constraint.
- Case-insensitive result row names will be disabled in most cases. It will
be available only optionally, by passing the flag `case_sensitive=False`
to `create_engine()`, but otherwise column names requested from the row
must match as far as casing.
- The sqlalchemy.orm.interfaces.InstrumentationManager class is moved to
sqlalchemy.ext.instrumentation.InstrumentationManager.
- SQLSoup is now moved into its own project and documented/released
separately; see https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/sqlsoup.
- The older “mutable” system within the SQLAlchemy ORM has been removed.
- We had left in an alias sqlalchemy.exceptions to attempt to make it
slightly easier for some very old libraries that hadn’t yet been upgraded
to use sqlalchemy.exc. Some users are still being confused by it however
so in 0.8 we’re taking it out entirely to eliminate any of that confusion.

Update SQLalchemy to version 0.6.0.
Changes since 0.5.6:
0.6.0
=====
- orm
- Unit of work internals have been rewritten. Units of work
with large numbers of objects interdependent objects
can now be flushed without recursion overflows
as there is no longer reliance upon recursive calls
[ticket:1081]. The number of internal structures now stays
constant for a particular session state, regardless of
how many relationships are present on mappings. The flow
of events now corresponds to a linear list of steps,
generated by the mappers and relationships based on actual
work to be done, filtered through a single topological sort
for correct ordering. Flush actions are assembled using
far fewer steps and less memory. [ticket:1742]
- Along with the UOW rewrite, this also removes an issue
introduced in 0.6beta3 regarding topological cycle detection
for units of work with long dependency cycles. We now use
an algorithm written by Guido (thanks Guido!).
- one-to-many relationships now maintain a list of positive
parent-child associations within the flush, preventing
previous parents marked as deleted from cascading a
delete or NULL foreign key set on those child objects,
despite the end-user not removing the child from the old
association. [ticket:1764]
- A collection lazy load will switch off default
eagerloading on the reverse many-to-one side, since
that loading is by definition unnecessary. [ticket:1495]
- Session.refresh() now does an equivalent expire()
on the given instance first, so that the "refresh-expire"
cascade is propagated. Previously, refresh() was
not affected in any way by the presence of "refresh-expire"
cascade. This is a change in behavior versus that
of 0.6beta2, where the "lockmode" flag passed to refresh()
would cause a version check to occur. Since the instance
is first expired, refresh() always upgrades the object
to the most recent version.
- The 'refresh-expire' cascade, when reaching a pending object,
will expunge the object if the cascade also includes
"delete-orphan", or will simply detach it otherwise.
[ticket:1754]
- id(obj) is no longer used internally within topological.py,
as the sorting functions now require hashable objects
only. [ticket:1756]
- The ORM will set the docstring of all generated descriptors
to None by default. This can be overridden using 'doc'
(or if using Sphinx, attribute docstrings work too).
- Added kw argument 'doc' to all mapper property callables
as well as Column(). Will assemble the string 'doc' as
the '__doc__' attribute on the descriptor.
- Usage of version_id_col on a backend that supports
cursor.rowcount for execute() but not executemany() now works
when a delete is issued (already worked for saves, since those
don't use executemany()). For a backend that doesn't support
cursor.rowcount at all, a warning is emitted the same
as with saves. [ticket:1761]
- The ORM now short-term caches the "compiled" form of
insert() and update() constructs when flushing lists of
objects of all the same class, thereby avoiding redundant
compilation per individual INSERT/UPDATE within an
individual flush() call.
- internal getattr(), setattr(), getcommitted() methods
on ColumnProperty, CompositeProperty, RelationshipProperty
have been underscored (i.e. are private), signature has
changed.
- engines
- The C extension now also works with DBAPIs which use custom
sequences as row (and not only tuples). [ticket:1757]
- sql
- Restored some bind-labeling logic from 0.5 which ensures
that tables with column names that overlap another column
of the form "<tablename>_<columnname>" won't produce
errors if column._label is used as a bind name during
an UPDATE. Test coverage which wasn't present in 0.5
has been added. [ticket:1755]
- somejoin.select(fold_equivalents=True) is no longer
deprecated, and will eventually be rolled into a more
comprehensive version of the feature for [ticket:1729].
- the Numeric type raises an *enormous* warning when expected
to convert floats to Decimal from a DBAPI that returns floats.
This includes SQLite, Sybase, MS-SQL. [ticket:1759]
- Fixed an error in expression typing which caused an endless
loop for expressions with two NULL types.
- Fixed bug in execution_options() feature whereby the existing
Transaction and other state information from the parent
connection would not be propagated to the sub-connection.
- Added new 'compiled_cache' execution option. A dictionary
where Compiled objects will be cached when the Connection
compiles a clause expression into a dialect- and parameter-
specific Compiled object. It is the user's responsibility to
manage the size of this dictionary, which will have keys
corresponding to the dialect, clause element, the column
names within the VALUES or SET clause of an INSERT or UPDATE,
as well as the "batch" mode for an INSERT or UPDATE statement.
- Added get_pk_constraint() to reflection.Inspector, similar
to get_primary_keys() except returns a dict that includes the
name of the constraint, for supported backends (PG so far).
[ticket:1769]
- Table.create() and Table.drop() no longer apply metadata-
level create/drop events. [ticket:1771]
- ext
- the compiler extension now allows @compiles decorators
on base classes that extend to child classes, @compiles
decorators on child classes that aren't broken by a
@compiles decorator on the base class.
- Declarative will raise an informative error message
if a non-mapped class attribute is referenced in the
string-based relationship() arguments.
- Further reworked the "mixin" logic in declarative to
additionally allow __mapper_args__ as a @classproperty
on a mixin, such as to dynamically assign polymorphic_identity.
- postgresql
- Postgresql now reflects sequence names associated with
SERIAL columns correctly, after the name of of the sequence
has been changed. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the patch.
[ticket:1071]
- Repaired missing import in psycopg2._PGNumeric type when
unknown numeric is received.
- psycopg2/pg8000 dialects now aware of REAL[], FLOAT[],
DOUBLE_PRECISION[], NUMERIC[] return types without
raising an exception.
- Postgresql reflects the name of primary key constraints,
if one exists. [ticket:1769]
- oracle
- Now using cx_oracle output converters so that the
DBAPI returns natively the kinds of values we prefer:
- NUMBER values with positive precision + scale convert
to cx_oracle.STRING and then to Decimal. This
allows perfect precision for the Numeric type when
using cx_oracle. [ticket:1759]
- STRING/FIXED_CHAR now convert to unicode natively.
SQLAlchemy's String types then don't need to
apply any kind of conversions.
- firebird
- The functionality of result.rowcount can be disabled on a
per-engine basis by setting 'enable_rowcount=False'
on create_engine(). Normally, cursor.rowcount is called
after any UPDATE or DELETE statement unconditionally,
because the cursor is then closed and Firebird requires
an open cursor in order to get a rowcount. This
call is slightly expensive however so it can be disabled.
To re-enable on a per-execution basis, the
'enable_rowcount=True' execution option may be used.
- examples
- Updated attribute_shard.py example to use a more robust
method of searching a Query for binary expressions which
compare columns against literal values.
0.6beta3
========
- orm
- Major feature: Added new "subquery" loading capability to
relationship(). This is an eager loading option which
generates a second SELECT for each collection represented
in a query, across all parents at once. The query
re-issues the original end-user query wrapped in a subquery,
applies joins out to the target collection, and loads
all those collections fully in one result, similar to
"joined" eager loading but using all inner joins and not
re-fetching full parent rows repeatedly (as most DBAPIs seem
to do, even if columns are skipped). Subquery loading is
available at mapper config level using "lazy='subquery'" and
at the query options level using "subqueryload(props..)",
"subqueryload_all(props...)". [ticket:1675]
- To accomodate the fact that there are now two kinds of eager
loading available, the new names for eagerload() and
eagerload_all() are joinedload() and joinedload_all(). The
old names will remain as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- The "lazy" flag on the relationship() function now accepts
a string argument for all kinds of loading: "select", "joined",
"subquery", "noload" and "dynamic", where the default is now
"select". The old values of True/
False/None still retain their usual meanings and will remain
as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- Added with_hint() method to Query() construct. This calls
directly down to select().with_hint() and also accepts
entities as well as tables and aliases. See with_hint() in the
SQL section below. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug in Query whereby calling q.join(prop).from_self(...).
join(prop) would fail to render the second join outside the
subquery, when joining on the same criterion as was on the
inside.
- Fixed bug in Query whereby the usage of aliased() constructs
would fail if the underlying table (but not the actual alias)
were referenced inside the subquery generated by
q.from_self() or q.select_from().
- Fixed bug which affected all eagerload() and similar options
such that "remote" eager loads, i.e. eagerloads off of a lazy
load such as query(A).options(eagerload(A.b, B.c))
wouldn't eagerload anything, but using eagerload("b.c") would
work fine.
- Query gains an add_columns(*columns) method which is a multi-
version of add_column(col). add_column(col) is future
deprecated.
- Query.join() will detect if the end result will be
"FROM A JOIN A", and will raise an error if so.
- Query.join(Cls.propname, from_joinpoint=True) will check more
carefully that "Cls" is compatible with the current joinpoint,
and act the same way as Query.join("propname", from_joinpoint=True)
in that regard.
- sql
- Added with_hint() method to select() construct. Specify
a table/alias, hint text, and optional dialect name, and
"hints" will be rendered in the appropriate place in the
statement. Works for Oracle, Sybase, MySQL. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug introduced in 0.6beta2 where column labels would
render inside of column expressions already assigned a label.
[ticket:1747]
- postgresql
- The psycopg2 dialect will log NOTICE messages via the
"sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql" logger name.
[ticket:877]
- the TIME and TIMESTAMP types are now availble from the
postgresql dialect directly, which add the PG-specific
argument 'precision' to both. 'precision' and
'timezone' are correctly reflected for both TIME and
TIMEZONE types. [ticket:997]
- mysql
- No longer guessing that TINYINT(1) should be BOOLEAN
when reflecting - TINYINT(1) is returned. Use Boolean/
BOOLEAN in table definition to get boolean conversion
behavior. [ticket:1752]
- oracle
- The Oracle dialect will issue VARCHAR type definitions
using character counts, i.e. VARCHAR2(50 CHAR), so that
the column is sized in terms of characters and not bytes.
Column reflection of character types will also use
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.CHAR_LENGTH instead of
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.DATA_LENGTH. Both of these behaviors take
effect when the server version is 9 or higher - for
version 8, the old behaviors are used. [ticket:1744]
- declarative
- Using a mixin won't break if the mixin implements an
unpredictable __getattribute__(), i.e. Zope interfaces.
[ticket:1746]
- Using @classdecorator and similar on mixins to define
__tablename__, __table_args__, etc. now works if
the method references attributes on the ultimate
subclass. [ticket:1749]
- relationships and columns with foreign keys aren't
allowed on declarative mixins, sorry. [ticket:1751]
- ext
- The sqlalchemy.orm.shard module now becomes an extension,
sqlalchemy.ext.horizontal_shard. The old import
works with a deprecation warning.
0.6beta2
========
- py3k
- Improved the installation/test setup regarding Python 3,
now that Distribute runs on Py3k. distribute_setup.py
is now included. See README.py3k for Python 3 installation/
testing instructions.
- orm
- The official name for the relation() function is now
relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational
algebra term. relation() however will remain available
in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
- Added "version_id_generator" argument to Mapper, this is a
callable that, given the current value of the "version_id_col",
returns the next version number. Can be used for alternate
versioning schemes such as uuid, timestamps. [ticket:1692]
- added "lockmode" kw argument to Session.refresh(), will
pass through the string value to Query the same as
in with_lockmode(), will also do version check for a
version_id_col-enabled mapping.
- Fixed bug whereby calling query(A).join(A.bs).add_entity(B)
in a joined inheritance scenario would double-add B as a
target and produce an invalid query. [ticket:1188]
- Fixed bug in session.rollback() which involved not removing
formerly "pending" objects from the session before
re-integrating "deleted" objects, typically occured with
natural primary keys. If there was a primary key conflict
between them, the attach of the deleted would fail
internally. The formerly "pending" objects are now expunged
first. [ticket:1674]
- Removed a lot of logging that nobody really cares about,
logging that remains will respond to live changes in the
log level. No significant overhead is added. [ticket:1719]
- Fixed bug in session.merge() which prevented dict-like
collections from merging.
- session.merge() works with relations that specifically
don't include "merge" in their cascade options - the target
is ignored completely.
- session.merge() will not expire existing scalar attributes
on an existing target if the target has a value for that
attribute, even if the incoming merged doesn't have
a value for the attribute. This prevents unnecessary loads
on existing items. Will still mark the attr as expired
if the destination doesn't have the attr, though, which
fulfills some contracts of deferred cols. [ticket:1681]
- The "allow_null_pks" flag is now called "allow_partial_pks",
defaults to True, acts like it did in 0.5 again. Except,
it also is implemented within merge() such that a SELECT
won't be issued for an incoming instance with partially
NULL primary key if the flag is False. [ticket:1680]
- Fixed bug in 0.6-reworked "many-to-one" optimizations
such that a many-to-one that is against a non-primary key
column on the remote table (i.e. foreign key against a
UNIQUE column) will pull the "old" value in from the
database during a change, since if it's in the session
we will need it for proper history/backref accounting,
and we can't pull from the local identity map on a
non-primary key column. [ticket:1737]
- fixed internal error which would occur if calling has()
or similar complex expression on a single-table inheritance
relation(). [ticket:1731]
- query.one() no longer applies LIMIT to the query, this to
ensure that it fully counts all object identities present
in the result, even in the case where joins may conceal
multiple identities for two or more rows. As a bonus,
one() can now also be called with a query that issued
from_statement() to start with since it no longer modifies
the query. [ticket:1688]
- query.get() now returns None if queried for an identifier
that is present in the identity map with a different class
than the one requested, i.e. when using polymorphic loading.
[ticket:1727]
- A major fix in query.join(), when the "on" clause is an
attribute of an aliased() construct, but there is already
an existing join made out to a compatible target, query properly
joins to the right aliased() construct instead of sticking
onto the right side of the existing join. [ticket:1706]
- Slight improvement to the fix for [ticket:1362] to not issue
needless updates of the primary key column during a so-called
"row switch" operation, i.e. add + delete of two objects
with the same PK.
- Now uses sqlalchemy.orm.exc.DetachedInstanceError when an
attribute load or refresh action fails due to object
being detached from any Session. UnboundExecutionError
is specific to engines bound to sessions and statements.
- Query called in the context of an expression will render
disambiguating labels in all cases. Note that this does
not apply to the existing .statement and .subquery()
accessor/method, which still honors the .with_labels()
setting that defaults to False.
- Query.union() retains disambiguating labels within the
returned statement, thus avoiding various SQL composition
errors which can result from column name conflicts.
[ticket:1676]
- Fixed bug in attribute history that inadvertently invoked
__eq__ on mapped instances.
- Some internal streamlining of object loading grants a
small speedup for large results, estimates are around
10-15%. Gave the "state" internals a good solid
cleanup with less complexity, datamembers,
method calls, blank dictionary creates.
- Documentation clarification for query.delete()
[ticket:1689]
- Fixed cascade bug in many-to-one relation() when attribute
was set to None, introduced in r6711 (cascade deleted
items into session during add()).
- Calling query.order_by() or query.distinct() before calling
query.select_from(), query.with_polymorphic(), or
query.from_statement() raises an exception now instead of
silently dropping those criterion. [ticket:1736]
- query.scalar() now raises an exception if more than one
row is returned. All other behavior remains the same.
[ticket:1735]
- Fixed bug which caused "row switch" logic, that is an
INSERT and DELETE replaced by an UPDATE, to fail when
version_id_col was in use. [ticket:1692]
- sql
- join() will now simulate a NATURAL JOIN by default. Meaning,
if the left side is a join, it will attempt to join the right
side to the rightmost side of the left first, and not raise
any exceptions about ambiguous join conditions if successful
even if there are further join targets across the rest of
the left. [ticket:1714]
- The most common result processors conversion function were
moved to the new "processors" module. Dialect authors are
encouraged to use those functions whenever they correspond
to their needs instead of implementing custom ones.
- SchemaType and subclasses Boolean, Enum are now serializable,
including their ddl listener and other event callables.
[ticket:1694] [ticket:1698]
- Some platforms will now interpret certain literal values
as non-bind parameters, rendered literally into the SQL
statement. This to support strict SQL-92 rules that are
enforced by some platforms including MS-SQL and Sybase.
In this model, bind parameters aren't allowed in the
columns clause of a SELECT, nor are certain ambiguous
expressions like "?=?". When this mode is enabled, the base
compiler will render the binds as inline literals, but only across
strings and numeric values. Other types such as dates
will raise an error, unless the dialect subclass defines
a literal rendering function for those. The bind parameter
must have an embedded literal value already or an error
is raised (i.e. won't work with straight bindparam('x')).
Dialects can also expand upon the areas where binds are not
accepted, such as within argument lists of functions
(which don't work on MS-SQL when native SQL binding is used).
- Added "unicode_errors" parameter to String, Unicode, etc.
Behaves like the 'errors' keyword argument to
the standard library's string.decode() functions. This flag
requires that `convert_unicode` is set to `"force"` - otherwise,
SQLAlchemy is not guaranteed to handle the task of unicode
conversion. Note that this flag adds significant performance
overhead to row-fetching operations for backends that already
return unicode objects natively (which most DBAPIs do). This
flag should only be used as an absolute last resort for reading
strings from a column with varied or corrupted encodings,
which only applies to databases that accept invalid encodings
in the first place (i.e. MySQL. *not* PG, Sqlite, etc.)
- Added math negation operator support, -x.
- FunctionElement subclasses are now directly executable the
same way any func.foo() construct is, with automatic
SELECT being applied when passed to execute().
- The "type" and "bind" keyword arguments of a func.foo()
construct are now local to "func." constructs and are
not part of the FunctionElement base class, allowing
a "type" to be handled in a custom constructor or
class-level variable.
- Restored the keys() method to ResultProxy.
- The type/expression system now does a more complete job
of determining the return type from an expression
as well as the adaptation of the Python operator into
a SQL operator, based on the full left/right/operator
of the given expression. In particular
the date/time/interval system created for Postgresql
EXTRACT in [ticket:1647] has now been generalized into
the type system. The previous behavior which often
occured of an expression "column + literal" forcing
the type of "literal" to be the same as that of "column"
will now usually not occur - the type of
"literal" is first derived from the Python type of the
literal, assuming standard native Python types + date
types, before falling back to that of the known type
on the other side of the expression. If the
"fallback" type is compatible (i.e. CHAR from String),
the literal side will use that. TypeDecorator
types override this by default to coerce the "literal"
side unconditionally, which can be changed by implementing
the coerce_compared_value() method. Also part of
[ticket:1683].
- Made sqlalchemy.sql.expressions.Executable part of public
API, used for any expression construct that can be sent to
execute(). FunctionElement now inherits Executable so that
it gains execution_options(), which are also propagated
to the select() that's generated within execute().
Executable in turn subclasses _Generative which marks
any ClauseElement that supports the @_generative
decorator - these may also become "public" for the benefit
of the compiler extension at some point.
- A change to the solution for [ticket:1579] - an end-user
defined bind parameter name that directly conflicts with
a column-named bind generated directly from the SET or
VALUES clause of an update/insert generates a compile error.
This reduces call counts and eliminates some cases where
undesirable name conflicts could still occur.
- Column() requires a type if it has no foreign keys (this is
not new). An error is now raised if a Column() has no type
and no foreign keys. [ticket:1705]
- the "scale" argument of the Numeric() type is honored when
coercing a returned floating point value into a string
on its way to Decimal - this allows accuracy to function
on SQLite, MySQL. [ticket:1717]
- the copy() method of Column now copies over uninitialized
"on table attach" events. Helps with the new declarative
"mixin" capability.
- engines
- Added an optional C extension to speed up the sql layer by
reimplementing RowProxy and the most common result processors.
The actual speedups will depend heavily on your DBAPI and
the mix of datatypes used in your tables, and can vary from
a 30% improvement to more than 200%. It also provides a modest
(~15-20%) indirect improvement to ORM speed for large queries.
Note that it is *not* built/installed by default.
See README for installation instructions.
- the execution sequence pulls all rowcount/last inserted ID
info from the cursor before commit() is called on the
DBAPI connection in an "autocommit" scenario. This helps
mxodbc with rowcount and is probably a good idea overall.
- Opened up logging a bit such that isEnabledFor() is called
more often, so that changes to the log level for engine/pool
will be reflected on next connect. This adds a small
amount of method call overhead. It's negligible and will make
life a lot easier for all those situations when logging
just happens to be configured after create_engine() is called.
[ticket:1719]
- The assert_unicode flag is deprecated. SQLAlchemy will raise
a warning in all cases where it is asked to encode a non-unicode
Python string, as well as when a Unicode or UnicodeType type
is explicitly passed a bytestring. The String type will do nothing
for DBAPIs that already accept Python unicode objects.
- Bind parameters are sent as a tuple instead of a list. Some
backend drivers will not accept bind parameters as a list.
- threadlocal engine wasn't properly closing the connection
upon close() - fixed that.
- Transaction object doesn't rollback or commit if it isn't
"active", allows more accurate nesting of begin/rollback/commit.
- Python unicode objects as binds result in the Unicode type,
not string, thus eliminating a certain class of unicode errors
on drivers that don't support unicode binds.
- Added "logging_name" argument to create_engine(), Pool() constructor
as well as "pool_logging_name" argument to create_engine() which
filters down to that of Pool. Issues the given string name
within the "name" field of logging messages instead of the default
hex identifier string. [ticket:1555]
- The visit_pool() method of Dialect is removed, and replaced with
on_connect(). This method returns a callable which receives
the raw DBAPI connection after each one is created. The callable
is assembled into a first_connect/connect pool listener by the
connection strategy if non-None. Provides a simpler interface
for dialects.
- StaticPool now initializes, disposes and recreates without
opening a new connection - the connection is only opened when
first requested. dispose() also works on AssertionPool now.
[ticket:1728]
- metadata
- Added the ability to strip schema information when using
"tometadata" by passing "schema=None" as an argument. If schema
is not specified then the table's schema is retained.
[ticket: 1673]
- declarative
- DeclarativeMeta exclusively uses cls.__dict__ (not dict_)
as the source of class information; _as_declarative exclusively
uses the dict_ passed to it as the source of class information
(which when using DeclarativeMeta is cls.__dict__). This should
in theory make it easier for custom metaclasses to modify
the state passed into _as_declarative.
- declarative now accepts mixin classes directly, as a means
to provide common functional and column-based elements on
all subclasses, as well as a means to propagate a fixed
set of __table_args__ or __mapper_args__ to subclasses.
For custom combinations of __table_args__/__mapper_args__ from
an inherited mixin to local, descriptors can now be used.
New details are all up in the Declarative documentation.
Thanks to Chris Withers for putting up with my strife
on this. [ticket:1707]
- the __mapper_args__ dict is copied when propagating to a subclass,
and is taken straight off the class __dict__ to avoid any
propagation from the parent. mapper inheritance already
propagates the things you want from the parent mapper.
[ticket:1393]
- An exception is raised when a single-table subclass specifies
a column that is already present on the base class.
[ticket:1732]
- mysql
- Fixed reflection bug whereby when COLLATE was present,
nullable flag and server defaults would not be reflected.
[ticket:1655]
- Fixed reflection of TINYINT(1) "boolean" columns defined with
integer flags like UNSIGNED.
- Further fixes for the mysql-connector dialect. [ticket:1668]
- Composite PK table on InnoDB where the "autoincrement" column
isn't first will emit an explicit "KEY" phrase within
CREATE TABLE thereby avoiding errors, [ticket:1496]
- Added reflection/create table support for a wide range
of MySQL keywords. [ticket:1634]
- Fixed import error which could occur reflecting tables on
a Windows host [ticket:1580]
- mssql
- Re-established support for the pymssql dialect.
- Various fixes for implicit returning, reflection,
etc. - the MS-SQL dialects aren't quite complete
in 0.6 yet (but are close)
- Added basic support for mxODBC [ticket:1710].
- Removed the text_as_varchar option.
- oracle
- "out" parameters require a type that is supported by
cx_oracle. An error will be raised if no cx_oracle
type can be found.
- Oracle 'DATE' now does not perform any result processing,
as the DATE type in Oracle stores full date+time objects,
that's what you'll get. Note that the generic types.Date
type *will* still call value.date() on incoming values,
however. When reflecting a table, the reflected type
will be 'DATE'.
- Added preliminary support for Oracle's WITH_UNICODE
mode. At the very least this establishes initial
support for cx_Oracle with Python 3. When WITH_UNICODE
mode is used in Python 2.xx, a large and scary warning
is emitted asking that the user seriously consider
the usage of this difficult mode of operation.
[ticket:1670]
- The except_() method now renders as MINUS on Oracle,
which is more or less equivalent on that platform.
[ticket:1712]
- Added support for rendering and reflecting
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, i.e. TIMESTAMP(timezone=True).
[ticket:651]
- Oracle INTERVAL type can now be reflected.
- sqlite
- Added "native_datetime=True" flag to create_engine().
This will cause the DATE and TIMESTAMP types to skip
all bind parameter and result row processing, under
the assumption that PARSE_DECLTYPES has been enabled
on the connection. Note that this is not entirely
compatible with the "func.current_date()", which
will be returned as a string. [ticket:1685]
- sybase
- Implemented a preliminary working dialect for Sybase,
with sub-implementations for Python-Sybase as well
as Pyodbc. Handles table
creates/drops and basic round trip functionality.
Does not yet include reflection or comprehensive
support of unicode/special expressions/etc.
- examples
- Changed the beaker cache example a bit to have a separate
RelationCache option for lazyload caching. This object
does a lookup among any number of potential attributes
more efficiently by grouping several into a common structure.
Both FromCache and RelationCache are simpler individually.
- documentation
- Major cleanup work in the docs to link class, function, and
method names into the API docs. [ticket:1700/1702/1703]
0.6beta1
========
- Major Release
- For the full set of feature descriptions, see
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/06Migration .
This document is a work in progress.
- All bug fixes and feature enhancements from the most
recent 0.5 version and below are also included within 0.6.
- Platforms targeted now include Python 2.4/2.5/2.6, Python
3.1, Jython2.5.
- orm
- Changes to query.update() and query.delete():
- the 'expire' option on query.update() has been renamed to
'fetch', thus matching that of query.delete().
'expire' is deprecated and issues a warning.
- query.update() and query.delete() both default to
'evaluate' for the synchronize strategy.
- the 'synchronize' strategy for update() and delete()
raises an error on failure. There is no implicit fallback
onto "fetch". Failure of evaluation is based on the
structure of criteria, so success/failure is deterministic
based on code structure.
- Enhancements on many-to-one relations:
- many-to-one relations now fire off a lazyload in fewer
cases, including in most cases will not fetch the "old"
value when a new one is replaced.
- many-to-one relation to a joined-table subclass now uses
get() for a simple load (known as the "use_get"
condition), i.e. Related->Sub(Base), without the need to
redefine the primaryjoin condition in terms of the base
table. [ticket:1186]
- specifying a foreign key with a declarative column, i.e.
ForeignKey(MyRelatedClass.id) doesn't break the "use_get"
condition from taking place [ticket:1492]
- relation(), eagerload(), and eagerload_all() now feature
an option called "innerjoin". Specify `True` or `False` to
control whether an eager join is constructed as an INNER
or OUTER join. Default is `False` as always. The mapper
options will override whichever setting is specified on
relation(). Should generally be set for many-to-one, not
nullable foreign key relations to allow improved join
performance. [ticket:1544]
- the behavior of eagerloading such that the main query is
wrapped in a subquery when LIMIT/OFFSET are present now
makes an exception for the case when all eager loads are
many-to-one joins. In those cases, the eager joins are
against the parent table directly along with the
limit/offset without the extra overhead of a subquery,
since a many-to-one join does not add rows to the result.
- Enhancements / Changes on Session.merge():
- the "dont_load=True" flag on Session.merge() is deprecated
and is now "load=False".
- Session.merge() is performance optimized, using half the
call counts for "load=False" mode compared to 0.5 and
significantly fewer SQL queries in the case of collections
for "load=True" mode.
- merge() will not issue a needless merge of attributes if the
given instance is the same instance which is already present.
- merge() now also merges the "options" associated with a given
state, i.e. those passed through query.options() which follow
along with an instance, such as options to eagerly- or
lazyily- load various attributes. This is essential for
the construction of highly integrated caching schemes. This
is a subtle behavioral change vs. 0.5.
- A bug was fixed regarding the serialization of the "loader
path" present on an instance's state, which is also necessary
when combining the usage of merge() with serialized state
and associated options that should be preserved.
- The all new merge() is showcased in a new comprehensive
example of how to integrate Beaker with SQLAlchemy. See
the notes in the "examples" note below.
- Primary key values can now be changed on a joined-table inheritance
object, and ON UPDATE CASCADE will be taken into account when
the flush happens. Set the new "passive_updates" flag to False
on mapper() when using SQLite or MySQL/MyISAM. [ticket:1362]
- flush() now detects when a primary key column was updated by
an ON UPDATE CASCADE operation from another primary key, and
can then locate the row for a subsequent UPDATE on the new PK
value. This occurs when a relation() is there to establish
the relationship as well as passive_updates=True. [ticket:1671]
- the "save-update" cascade will now cascade the pending *removed*
values from a scalar or collection attribute into the new session
during an add() operation. This so that the flush() operation
will also delete or modify rows of those disconnected items.
- Using a "dynamic" loader with a "secondary" table now produces
a query where the "secondary" table is *not* aliased. This
allows the secondary Table object to be used in the "order_by"
attribute of the relation(), and also allows it to be used
in filter criterion against the dynamic relation.
[ticket:1531]
- relation() with uselist=False will emit a warning when
an eager or lazy load locates more than one valid value for
the row. This may be due to primaryjoin/secondaryjoin
conditions which aren't appropriate for an eager LEFT OUTER
JOIN or for other conditions. [ticket:1643]
- an explicit check occurs when a synonym() is used with
map_column=True, when a ColumnProperty (deferred or otherwise)
exists separately in the properties dictionary sent to mapper
with the same keyname. Instead of silently replacing
the existing property (and possible options on that property),
an error is raised. [ticket:1633]
- a "dynamic" loader sets up its query criterion at construction
time so that the actual query is returned from non-cloning
accessors like "statement".
- the "named tuple" objects returned when iterating a
Query() are now pickleable.
- mapping to a select() construct now requires that you
make an alias() out of it distinctly. This to eliminate
confusion over such issues as [ticket:1542]
- query.join() has been reworked to provide more consistent
behavior and more flexibility (includes [ticket:1537])
- query.select_from() accepts multiple clauses to produce
multiple comma separated entries within the FROM clause.
Useful when selecting from multiple-homed join() clauses.
- query.select_from() also accepts mapped classes, aliased()
constructs, and mappers as arguments. In particular this
helps when querying from multiple joined-table classes to ensure
the full join gets rendered.
- query.get() can be used with a mapping to an outer join
where one or more of the primary key values are None.
[ticket:1135]
- query.from_self(), query.union(), others which do a
"SELECT * from (SELECT...)" type of nesting will do
a better job translating column expressions within the subquery
to the columns clause of the outer query. This is
potentially backwards incompatible with 0.5, in that this
may break queries with literal expressions that do not have labels
applied (i.e. literal('foo'), etc.)
[ticket:1568]
- relation primaryjoin and secondaryjoin now check that they
are column-expressions, not just clause elements. this prohibits
things like FROM expressions being placed there directly.
[ticket:1622]
- `expression.null()` is fully understood the same way
None is when comparing an object/collection-referencing
attribute within query.filter(), filter_by(), etc.
[ticket:1415]
- added "make_transient()" helper function which transforms a
persistent/ detached instance into a transient one (i.e.
deletes the instance_key and removes from any session.)
[ticket:1052]
- the allow_null_pks flag on mapper() is deprecated, and
the feature is turned "on" by default. This means that
a row which has a non-null value for any of its primary key
columns will be considered an identity. The need for this
scenario typically only occurs when mapping to an outer join.
[ticket:1339]
- the mechanics of "backref" have been fully merged into the
finer grained "back_populates" system, and take place entirely
within the _generate_backref() method of RelationProperty. This
makes the initialization procedure of RelationProperty
simpler and allows easier propagation of settings (such as from
subclasses of RelationProperty) into the reverse reference.
The internal BackRef() is gone and backref() returns a plain
tuple that is understood by RelationProperty.
- The version_id_col feature on mapper() will raise a warning when
used with dialects that don't support "rowcount" adequately.
[ticket:1569]
- added "execution_options()" to Query, to so options can be
passed to the resulting statement. Currently only
Select-statements have these options, and the only option
used is "stream_results", and the only dialect which knows
"stream_results" is psycopg2.
- Query.yield_per() will set the "stream_results" statement
option automatically.
- Deprecated or removed:
* 'allow_null_pks' flag on mapper() is deprecated. It does
nothing now and the setting is "on" in all cases.
* 'transactional' flag on sessionmaker() and others is
removed. Use 'autocommit=True' to indicate 'transactional=False'.
* 'polymorphic_fetch' argument on mapper() is removed.
Loading can be controlled using the 'with_polymorphic'
option.
* 'select_table' argument on mapper() is removed. Use
'with_polymorphic=("*", <some selectable>)' for this
functionality.
* 'proxy' argument on synonym() is removed. This flag
did nothing throughout 0.5, as the "proxy generation"
behavior is now automatic.
* Passing a single list of elements to eagerload(),
eagerload_all(), contains_eager(), lazyload(),
defer(), and undefer() instead of multiple positional
*args is deprecated.
* Passing a single list of elements to query.order_by(),
query.group_by(), query.join(), or query.outerjoin()
instead of multiple positional *args is deprecated.
* query.iterate_instances() is removed. Use query.instances().
* Query.query_from_parent() is removed. Use the
sqlalchemy.orm.with_parent() function to produce a
"parent" clause, or alternatively query.with_parent().
* query._from_self() is removed, use query.from_self()
instead.
* the "comparator" argument to composite() is removed.
Use "comparator_factory".
* RelationProperty._get_join() is removed.
* the 'echo_uow' flag on Session is removed. Use
logging on the "sqlalchemy.orm.unitofwork" name.
* session.clear() is removed. use session.expunge_all().
* session.save(), session.update(), session.save_or_update()
are removed. Use session.add() and session.add_all().
* the "objects" flag on session.flush() remains deprecated.
* the "dont_load=True" flag on session.merge() is deprecated
in favor of "load=False".
* ScopedSession.mapper remains deprecated. See the
usage recipe at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/SessionAwareMapper
* passing an InstanceState (internal SQLAlchemy state object) to
attributes.init_collection() or attributes.get_history() is
deprecated. These functions are public API and normally
expect a regular mapped object instance.
* the 'engine' parameter to declarative_base() is removed.
Use the 'bind' keyword argument.
- sql
- the "autocommit" flag on select() and text() as well
as select().autocommit() are deprecated - now call
.execution_options(autocommit=True) on either of those
constructs, also available directly on Connection and orm.Query.
- the autoincrement flag on column now indicates the column
which should be linked to cursor.lastrowid, if that method
is used. See the API docs for details.
- an executemany() now requires that all bound parameter
sets require that all keys are present which are
present in the first bound parameter set. The structure
and behavior of an insert/update statement is very much
determined by the first parameter set, including which
defaults are going to fire off, and a minimum of
guesswork is performed with all the rest so that performance
is not impacted. For this reason defaults would otherwise
silently "fail" for missing parameters, so this is now guarded
against. [ticket:1566]
- returning() support is native to insert(), update(),
delete(). Implementations of varying levels of
functionality exist for Postgresql, Firebird, MSSQL and
Oracle. returning() can be called explicitly with column
expressions which are then returned in the resultset,
usually via fetchone() or first().
insert() constructs will also use RETURNING implicitly to
get newly generated primary key values, if the database
version in use supports it (a version number check is
performed). This occurs if no end-user returning() was
specified.
- union(), intersect(), except() and other "compound" types
of statements have more consistent behavior w.r.t.
parenthesizing. Each compound element embedded within
another will now be grouped with parenthesis - previously,
the first compound element in the list would not be grouped,
as SQLite doesn't like a statement to start with
parenthesis. However, Postgresql in particular has
precedence rules regarding INTERSECT, and it is
more consistent for parenthesis to be applied equally
to all sub-elements. So now, the workaround for SQLite
is also what the workaround for PG was previously -
when nesting compound elements, the first one usually needs
".alias().select()" called on it to wrap it inside
of a subquery. [ticket:1665]
- insert() and update() constructs can now embed bindparam()
objects using names that match the keys of columns. These
bind parameters will circumvent the usual route to those
keys showing up in the VALUES or SET clause of the generated
SQL. [ticket:1579]
- the Binary type now returns data as a Python string
(or a "bytes" type in Python 3), instead of the built-
in "buffer" type. This allows symmetric round trips
of binary data. [ticket:1524]
- Added a tuple_() construct, allows sets of expressions
to be compared to another set, typically with IN against
composite primary keys or similar. Also accepts an
IN with multiple columns. The "scalar select can
have only one column" error message is removed - will
rely upon the database to report problems with
col mismatch.
- User-defined "default" and "onupdate" callables which
accept a context should now call upon
"context.current_parameters" to get at the dictionary
of bind parameters currently being processed. This
dict is available in the same way regardless of
single-execute or executemany-style statement execution.
- multi-part schema names, i.e. with dots such as
"dbo.master", are now rendered in select() labels
with underscores for dots, i.e. "dbo_master_table_column".
This is a "friendly" label that behaves better
in result sets. [ticket:1428]
- removed needless "counter" behavior with select()
labelnames that match a column name in the table,
i.e. generates "tablename_id" for "id", instead of
"tablename_id_1" in an attempt to avoid naming
conflicts, when the table has a column actually
named "tablename_id" - this is because
the labeling logic is always applied to all columns
so a naming conflict will never occur.
- calling expr.in_([]), i.e. with an empty list, emits a warning
before issuing the usual "expr != expr" clause. The
"expr != expr" can be very expensive, and it's preferred
that the user not issue in_() if the list is empty,
instead simply not querying, or modifying the criterion
as appropriate for more complex situations.
[ticket:1628]
- Added "execution_options()" to select()/text(), which set the
default options for the Connection. See the note in "engines".
- Deprecated or removed:
* "scalar" flag on select() is removed, use
select.as_scalar().
* "shortname" attribute on bindparam() is removed.
* postgres_returning, firebird_returning flags on
insert(), update(), delete() are deprecated, use
the new returning() method.
* fold_equivalents flag on join is deprecated (will remain
until [ticket:1131] is implemented)
- engines
- transaction isolation level may be specified with
create_engine(... isolation_level="..."); available on
postgresql and sqlite. [ticket:443]
- Connection has execution_options(), generative method
which accepts keywords that affect how the statement
is executed w.r.t. the DBAPI. Currently supports
"stream_results", causes psycopg2 to use a server
side cursor for that statement, as well as
"autocommit", which is the new location for the "autocommit"
option from select() and text(). select() and
text() also have .execution_options() as well as
ORM Query().
- fixed the import for entrypoint-driven dialects to
not rely upon silly tb_info trick to determine import
error status. [ticket:1630]
- added first() method to ResultProxy, returns first row and
closes result set immediately.
- RowProxy objects are now pickleable, i.e. the object returned
by result.fetchone(), result.fetchall() etc.
- RowProxy no longer has a close() method, as the row no longer
maintains a reference to the parent. Call close() on
the parent ResultProxy instead, or use autoclose.
- ResultProxy internals have been overhauled to greatly reduce
method call counts when fetching columns. Can provide a large
speed improvement (up to more than 100%) when fetching large
result sets. The improvement is larger when fetching columns
that have no type-level processing applied and when using
results as tuples (instead of as dictionaries). Many
thanks to Elixir's Gaëtan de Menten for this dramatic
improvement ! [ticket:1586]
- Databases which rely upon postfetch of "last inserted id"
to get at a generated sequence value (i.e. MySQL, MS-SQL)
now work correctly when there is a composite primary key
where the "autoincrement" column is not the first primary
key column in the table.
- the last_inserted_ids() method has been renamed to the
descriptor "inserted_primary_key".
- setting echo=False on create_engine() now sets the loglevel
to WARN instead of NOTSET. This so that logging can be
disabled for a particular engine even if logging
for "sqlalchemy.engine" is enabled overall. Note that the
default setting of "echo" is `None`. [ticket:1554]
- ConnectionProxy now has wrapper methods for all transaction
lifecycle events, including begin(), rollback(), commit()
begin_nested(), begin_prepared(), prepare(), release_savepoint(),
etc.
- Connection pool logging now uses both INFO and DEBUG
log levels for logging. INFO is for major events such
as invalidated connections, DEBUG for all the acquire/return
logging. `echo_pool` can be False, None, True or "debug"
the same way as `echo` works.
- All pyodbc-dialects now support extra pyodbc-specific
kw arguments 'ansi', 'unicode_results', 'autocommit'.
[ticket:1621]
- the "threadlocal" engine has been rewritten and simplified
and now supports SAVEPOINT operations.
- deprecated or removed
* result.last_inserted_ids() is deprecated. Use
result.inserted_primary_key
* dialect.get_default_schema_name(connection) is now
public via dialect.default_schema_name.
* the "connection" argument from engine.transaction() and
engine.run_callable() is removed - Connection itself
now has those methods. All four methods accept
*args and **kwargs which are passed to the given callable,
as well as the operating connection.
- schema
- the `__contains__()` method of `MetaData` now accepts
strings or `Table` objects as arguments. If given
a `Table`, the argument is converted to `table.key` first,
i.e. "[schemaname.]<tablename>" [ticket:1541]
- deprecated MetaData.connect() and
ThreadLocalMetaData.connect() have been removed - send
the "bind" attribute to bind a metadata.
- deprecated metadata.table_iterator() method removed (use
sorted_tables)
- deprecated PassiveDefault - use DefaultClause.
- the "metadata" argument is removed from DefaultGenerator
and subclasses, but remains locally present on Sequence,
which is a standalone construct in DDL.
- Removed public mutability from Index and Constraint
objects:
- ForeignKeyConstraint.append_element()
- Index.append_column()
- UniqueConstraint.append_column()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.add()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.remove()
These should be constructed declaratively (i.e. in one
construction).
- The "start" and "increment" attributes on Sequence now
generate "START WITH" and "INCREMENT BY" by default,
on Oracle and Postgresql. Firebird doesn't support
these keywords right now. [ticket:1545]
- UniqueConstraint, Index, PrimaryKeyConstraint all accept
lists of column names or column objects as arguments.
- Other removed things:
- Table.key (no idea what this was for)
- Table.primary_key is not assignable - use
table.append_constraint(PrimaryKeyConstraint(...))
- Column.bind (get via column.table.bind)
- Column.metadata (get via column.table.metadata)
- Column.sequence (use column.default)
- ForeignKey(constraint=some_parent) (is now private _constraint)
- The use_alter flag on ForeignKey is now a shortcut option
for operations that can be hand-constructed using the
DDL() event system. A side effect of this refactor is
that ForeignKeyConstraint objects with use_alter=True
will *not* be emitted on SQLite, which does not support
ALTER for foreign keys.
- ForeignKey and ForeignKeyConstraint objects now correctly
copy() all their public keyword arguments. [ticket:1605]
- Reflection/Inspection
- Table reflection has been expanded and generalized into
a new API called "sqlalchemy.engine.reflection.Inspector".
The Inspector object provides fine-grained information about
a wide variety of schema information, with room for expansion,
including table names, column names, view definitions, sequences,
indexes, etc.
- Views are now reflectable as ordinary Table objects. The same
Table constructor is used, with the caveat that "effective"
primary and foreign key constraints aren't part of the reflection
results; these have to be specified explicitly if desired.
- The existing autoload=True system now uses Inspector underneath
so that each dialect need only return "raw" data about tables
and other objects - Inspector is the single place that information
is compiled into Table objects so that consistency is at a maximum.
- DDL
- the DDL system has been greatly expanded. the DDL() class
now extends the more generic DDLElement(), which forms the basis
of many new constructs:
- CreateTable()
- DropTable()
- AddConstraint()
- DropConstraint()
- CreateIndex()
- DropIndex()
- CreateSequence()
- DropSequence()
These support "on" and "execute-at()" just like plain DDL()
does. User-defined DDLElement subclasses can be created and
linked to a compiler using the sqlalchemy.ext.compiler extension.
- The signature of the "on" callable passed to DDL() and
DDLElement() is revised as follows:
"ddl" - the DDLElement object itself.
"event" - the string event name.
"target" - previously "schema_item", the Table or
MetaData object triggering the event.
"connection" - the Connection object in use for the operation.
**kw - keyword arguments. In the case of MetaData before/after
create/drop, the list of Table objects for which
CREATE/DROP DDL is to be issued is passed as the kw
argument "tables". This is necessary for metadata-level
DDL that is dependent on the presence of specific tables.
- the "schema_item" attribute of DDL has been renamed to
"target".
- dialect refactor
- Dialect modules are now broken into database dialects
plus DBAPI implementations. Connect URLs are now
preferred to be specified using dialect+driver://...,
i.e. "mysql+mysqldb://scott:tiger@localhost/test". See
the 0.6 documentation for examples.
- the setuptools entrypoint for external dialects is now
called "sqlalchemy.dialects".
- the "owner" keyword argument is removed from Table. Use
"schema" to represent any namespaces to be prepended to
the table name.
- server_version_info becomes a static attribute.
- dialects receive an initialize() event on initial
connection to determine connection properties.
- dialects receive a visit_pool event have an opportunity
to establish pool listeners.
- cached TypeEngine classes are cached per-dialect class
instead of per-dialect.
- new UserDefinedType should be used as a base class for
new types, which preserves the 0.5 behavior of
get_col_spec().
- The result_processor() method of all type classes now
accepts a second argument "coltype", which is the DBAPI
type argument from cursor.description. This argument
can help some types decide on the most efficient processing
of result values.
- Deprecated Dialect.get_params() removed.
- Dialect.get_rowcount() has been renamed to a descriptor
"rowcount", and calls cursor.rowcount directly. Dialects
which need to hardwire a rowcount in for certain calls
should override the method to provide different behavior.
- DefaultRunner and subclasses have been removed. The job
of this object has been simplified and moved into
ExecutionContext. Dialects which support sequences should
add a `fire_sequence()` method to their execution context
implementation. [ticket:1566]
- Functions and operators generated by the compiler now use
(almost) regular dispatch functions of the form
"visit_<opname>" and "visit_<funcname>_fn" to provide
customed processing. This replaces the need to copy the
"functions" and "operators" dictionaries in compiler
subclasses with straightforward visitor methods, and also
allows compiler subclasses complete control over
rendering, as the full _Function or _BinaryExpression
object is passed in.
- postgresql
- New dialects: pg8000, zxjdbc, and pypostgresql
on py3k.
- The "postgres" dialect is now named "postgresql" !
Connection strings look like:
postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test
postgresql+pg8000://scott:tiger@localhost/test
The "postgres" name remains for backwards compatiblity
in the following ways:
- There is a "postgres.py" dummy dialect which
allows old URLs to work, i.e.
postgres://scott:tiger@localhost/test
- The "postgres" name can be imported from the old
"databases" module, i.e. "from
sqlalchemy.databases import postgres" as well as
"dialects", "from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgres
import base as pg", will send a deprecation
warning.
- Special expression arguments are now named
"postgresql_returning" and "postgresql_where", but
the older "postgres_returning" and
"postgres_where" names still work with a
deprecation warning.
- "postgresql_where" now accepts SQL expressions which
can also include literals, which will be quoted as needed.
- The psycopg2 dialect now uses psycopg2's "unicode extension"
on all new connections, which allows all String/Text/etc.
types to skip the need to post-process bytestrings into
unicode (an expensive step due to its volume). Other
dialects which return unicode natively (pg8000, zxjdbc)
also skip unicode post-processing.
- Added new ENUM type, which exists as a schema-level
construct and extends the generic Enum type. Automatically
associates itself with tables and their parent metadata
to issue the appropriate CREATE TYPE/DROP TYPE
commands as needed, supports unicode labels, supports
reflection. [ticket:1511]
- INTERVAL supports an optional "precision" argument
corresponding to the argument that PG accepts.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
psycopg2 can't handle a bind parameter name of
%(foobar)s however and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead
just to treat that one non-existent use case.
[ticket:1279]
- Inserting NULL into a primary key + foreign key column
will allow the "not null constraint" error to raise,
not an attempt to execute a nonexistent "col_id_seq"
sequence. [ticket:1516]
- autoincrement SELECT statements, i.e. those which
select from a procedure that modifies rows, now work
with server-side cursor mode (the named cursor isn't
used for such statements.)
- postgresql dialect can properly detect pg "devel" version
strings, i.e. "8.5devel" [ticket:1636]
- The psycopg2 now respects the statement option
"stream_results". This option overrides the connection setting
"server_side_cursors". If true, server side cursors will be
used for the statement. If false, they will not be used, even
if "server_side_cursors" is true on the
connection. [ticket:1619]
- mysql
- New dialects: oursql, a new native dialect,
MySQL Connector/Python, a native Python port of MySQLdb,
and of course zxjdbc on Jython.
- VARCHAR/NVARCHAR will not render without a length, raises
an error before passing to MySQL. Doesn't impact
CAST since VARCHAR is not allowed in MySQL CAST anyway,
the dialect renders CHAR/NCHAR in those cases.
- all the _detect_XXX() functions now run once underneath
dialect.initialize()
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
MySQLdb can't handle % signs in SQL when executemany() is used,
and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead just to treat that one
non-existent use case. [ticket:1279]
- the BINARY and MSBinary types now generate "BINARY" in all
cases. Omitting the "length" parameter will generate
"BINARY" with no length. Use BLOB to generate an unlengthed
binary column.
- the "quoting='quoted'" argument to MSEnum/ENUM is deprecated.
It's best to rely upon the automatic quoting.
- ENUM now subclasses the new generic Enum type, and also handles
unicode values implicitly, if the given labelnames are unicode
objects.
- a column of type TIMESTAMP now defaults to NULL if
"nullable=False" is not passed to Column(), and no default
is present. This is now consistent with all other types,
and in the case of TIMESTAMP explictly renders "NULL"
due to MySQL's "switching" of default nullability
for TIMESTAMP columns. [ticket:1539]
- oracle
- unit tests pass 100% with cx_oracle !
- support for cx_Oracle's "native unicode" mode which does
not require NLS_LANG to be set. Use the latest 5.0.2 or
later of cx_oracle.
- an NCLOB type is added to the base types.
- use_ansi=False won't leak into the FROM/WHERE clause of
a statement that's selecting from a subquery that also
uses JOIN/OUTERJOIN.
- added native INTERVAL type to the dialect. This supports
only the DAY TO SECOND interval type so far due to lack
of support in cx_oracle for YEAR TO MONTH. [ticket:1467]
- usage of the CHAR type results in cx_oracle's
FIXED_CHAR dbapi type being bound to statements.
- the Oracle dialect now features NUMBER which intends
to act justlike Oracle's NUMBER type. It is the primary
numeric type returned by table reflection and attempts
to return Decimal()/float/int based on the precision/scale
parameters. [ticket:885]
- func.char_length is a generic function for LENGTH
- ForeignKey() which includes onupdate=<value> will emit a
warning, not emit ON UPDATE CASCADE which is unsupported
by oracle
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- using types.BigInteger with Oracle will generate
NUMBER(19) [ticket:1125]
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- firebird
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- mssql
- MSSQL + Pyodbc + FreeTDS now works for the most part,
with possible exceptions regarding binary data as well as
unicode schema identifiers.
- the "has_window_funcs" flag is removed. LIMIT/OFFSET
usage will use ROW NUMBER as always, and if on an older
version of SQL Server, the operation fails. The behavior
is exactly the same except the error is raised by SQL
server instead of the dialect, and no flag setting is
required to enable it.
- the "auto_identity_insert" flag is removed. This feature
always takes effect when an INSERT statement overrides a
column that is known to have a sequence on it. As with
"has_window_funcs", if the underlying driver doesn't
support this, then you can't do this operation in any
case, so there's no point in having a flag.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- removed references to sequence which is no longer used.
implicit identities in mssql work the same as implicit
sequences on any other dialects. Explicit sequences are
enabled through the use of "default=Sequence()". See
the MSSQL dialect documentation for more information.
- sqlite
- DATE, TIME and DATETIME types can now take optional storage_format
and regexp argument. storage_format can be used to store those types
using a custom string format. regexp allows to use a custom regular
expression to match string values from the database.
- Time and DateTime types now use by a default a stricter regular
expression to match strings from the database. Use the regexp
argument if you are using data stored in a legacy format.
- __legacy_microseconds__ on SQLite Time and DateTime types is not
supported anymore. You should use the storage_format argument
instead.
- Date, Time and DateTime types are now stricter in what they accept as
bind parameters: Date type only accepts date objects (and datetime
ones, because they inherit from date), Time only accepts time
objects, and DateTime only accepts date and datetime objects.
- Table() supports a keyword argument "sqlite_autoincrement", which
applies the SQLite keyword "AUTOINCREMENT" to the single integer
primary key column when generating DDL. Will prevent generation of
a separate PRIMARY KEY constraint. [ticket:1016]
- new dialects
- postgresql+pg8000
- postgresql+pypostgresql (partial)
- postgresql+zxjdbc
- mysql+pyodbc
- mysql+zxjdbc
- types
- The construction of types within dialects has been totally
overhauled. Dialects now define publically available types
as UPPERCASE names exclusively, and internal implementation
types using underscore identifiers (i.e. are private).
The system by which types are expressed in SQL and DDL
has been moved to the compiler system. This has the
effect that there are much fewer type objects within
most dialects. A detailed document on this architecture
for dialect authors is in
lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/type_migration_guidelines.txt .
- Types no longer make any guesses as to default
parameters. In particular, Numeric, Float, NUMERIC,
FLOAT, DECIMAL don't generate any length or scale unless
specified.
- types.Binary is renamed to types.LargeBinary, it only
produces BLOB, BYTEA, or a similar "long binary" type.
New base BINARY and VARBINARY
types have been added to access these MySQL/MS-SQL specific
types in an agnostic way [ticket:1664].
- String/Text/Unicode types now skip the unicode() check
on each result column value if the dialect has
detected the DBAPI as returning Python unicode objects
natively. This check is issued on first connect
using "SELECT CAST 'some text' AS VARCHAR(10)" or
equivalent, then checking if the returned object
is a Python unicode. This allows vast performance
increases for native-unicode DBAPIs, including
pysqlite/sqlite3, psycopg2, and pg8000.
- Most types result processors have been checked for possible speed
improvements. Specifically, the following generic types have been
optimized, resulting in varying speed improvements:
Unicode, PickleType, Interval, TypeDecorator, Binary.
Also the following dbapi-specific implementations have been improved:
Time, Date and DateTime on Sqlite, ARRAY on Postgresql,
Time on MySQL, Numeric(as_decimal=False) on MySQL, oursql and
pypostgresql, DateTime on cx_oracle and LOB-based types on cx_oracle.
- Reflection of types now returns the exact UPPERCASE
type within types.py, or the UPPERCASE type within
the dialect itself if the type is not a standard SQL
type. This means reflection now returns more accurate
information about reflected types.
- Added a new Enum generic type. Enum is a schema-aware object
to support databases which require specific DDL in order to
use enum or equivalent; in the case of PG it handles the
details of `CREATE TYPE`, and on other databases without
native enum support will by generate VARCHAR + an inline CHECK
constraint to enforce the enum.
[ticket:1109] [ticket:1511]
- The Interval type includes a "native" flag which controls
if native INTERVAL types (postgresql + oracle) are selected
if available, or not. "day_precision" and "second_precision"
arguments are also added which propagate as appropriately
to these native types. Related to [ticket:1467].
- The Boolean type, when used on a backend that doesn't
have native boolean support, will generate a CHECK
constraint "col IN (0, 1)" along with the int/smallint-
based column type. This can be switched off if
desired with create_constraint=False.
Note that MySQL has no native boolean *or* CHECK constraint
support so this feature isn't available on that platform.
[ticket:1589]
- PickleType now uses == for comparison of values when
mutable=True, unless the "comparator" argument with a
comparsion function is specified to the type. Objects
being pickled will be compared based on identity (which
defeats the purpose of mutable=True) if __eq__() is not
overridden or a comparison function is not provided.
- The default "precision" and "scale" arguments of Numeric
and Float have been removed and now default to None.
NUMERIC and FLOAT will be rendered with no numeric
arguments by default unless these values are provided.
- AbstractType.get_search_list() is removed - the games
that was used for are no longer necessary.
- Added a generic BigInteger type, compiles to
BIGINT or NUMBER(19). [ticket:1125]
-ext
- sqlsoup has been overhauled to explicitly support an 0.5 style
session, using autocommit=False, autoflush=True. Default
behavior of SQLSoup now requires the usual usage of commit()
and rollback(), which have been added to its interface. An
explcit Session or scoped_session can be passed to the
constructor, allowing these arguments to be overridden.
- sqlsoup db.<sometable>.update() and delete() now call
query(cls).update() and delete(), respectively.
- sqlsoup now has execute() and connection(), which call upon
the Session methods of those names, ensuring that the bind is
in terms of the SqlSoup object's bind.
- sqlsoup objects no longer have the 'query' attribute - it's
not needed for sqlsoup's usage paradigm and it gets in the
way of a column that is actually named 'query'.
- The signature of the proxy_factory callable passed to
association_proxy is now (lazy_collection, creator,
value_attr, association_proxy), adding a fourth argument
that is the parent AssociationProxy argument. Allows
serializability and subclassing of the built in collections.
[ticket:1259]
- association_proxy now has basic comparator methods .any(),
.has(), .contains(), ==, !=, thanks to Scott Torborg.
[ticket:1372]
- examples
- The "query_cache" examples have been removed, and are replaced
with a fully comprehensive approach that combines the usage of
Beaker with SQLAlchemy. New query options are used to indicate
the caching characteristics of a particular Query, which
can also be invoked deep within an object graph when lazily
loading related objects. See /examples/beaker_caching/README.
0.5.9
=====
- sql
- Fixed erroneous self_group() call in expression package.
[ticket:1661]
0.5.8
=====
- sql
- The copy() method on Column now supports uninitialized,
unnamed Column objects. This allows easy creation of
declarative helpers which place common columns on multiple
subclasses.
- Default generators like Sequence() translate correctly
across a copy() operation.
- Sequence() and other DefaultGenerator objects are accepted
as the value for the "default" and "onupdate" keyword
arguments of Column, in addition to being accepted
positionally.
- Fixed a column arithmetic bug that affected column
correspondence for cloned selectables which contain
free-standing column expressions. This bug is
generally only noticeable when exercising newer
ORM behavior only availble in 0.6 via [ticket:1568],
but is more correct at the SQL expression level
as well. [ticket:1617]
- postgresql
- The extract() function, which was slightly improved in
0.5.7, needed a lot more work to generate the correct
typecast (the typecasts appear to be necessary in PG's
EXTRACT quite a lot of the time). The typecast is
now generated using a rule dictionary based
on PG's documentation for date/time/interval arithmetic.
It also accepts text() constructs again, which was broken
in 0.5.7. [ticket:1647]
- firebird
- Recognize more errors as disconnections. [ticket:1646]
0.5.7
=====
- orm
- contains_eager() now works with the automatically
generated subquery that results when you say
"query(Parent).join(Parent.somejoinedsubclass)", i.e.
when Parent joins to a joined-table-inheritance subclass.
Previously contains_eager() would erroneously add the
subclass table to the query separately producing a
cartesian product. An example is in the ticket
description. [ticket:1543]
- query.options() now only propagate to loaded objects
for potential further sub-loads only for options where
such behavior is relevant, keeping
various unserializable options like those generated
by contains_eager() out of individual instance states.
[ticket:1553]
- Session.execute() now locates table- and
mapper-specific binds based on a passed
in expression which is an insert()/update()/delete()
construct. [ticket:1054]
- Session.merge() now properly overwrites a many-to-one or
uselist=False attribute to None if the attribute
is also None in the given object to be merged.
- Fixed a needless select which would occur when merging
transient objects that contained a null primary key
identifier. [ticket:1618]
- Mutable collection passed to the "extension" attribute
of relation(), column_property() etc. will not be mutated
or shared among multiple instrumentation calls, preventing
duplicate extensions, such as backref populators,
from being inserted into the list.
[ticket:1585]
- Fixed the call to get_committed_value() on CompositeProperty.
[ticket:1504]
- Fixed bug where Query would crash if a join() with no clear
"left" side were called when a non-mapped column entity
appeared in the columns list. [ticket:1602]
- Fixed bug whereby composite columns wouldn't load properly
when configured on a joined-table subclass, introduced in
version 0.5.6 as a result of the fix for [ticket:1480].
[ticket:1616] thx to Scott Torborg.
- The "use get" behavior of many-to-one relations, i.e. that a
lazy load will fallback to the possibly cached query.get()
value, now works across join conditions where the two compared
types are not exactly the same class, but share the same
"affinity" - i.e. Integer and SmallInteger. Also allows
combinations of reflected and non-reflected types to work
with 0.5 style type reflection, such as PGText/Text (note 0.6
reflects types as their generic versions). [ticket:1556]
- Fixed bug in query.update() when passing Cls.attribute
as keys in the value dict and using synchronize_session='expire'
('fetch' in 0.6). [ticket:1436]
- sql
- Fixed bug in two-phase transaction whereby commit() method
didn't set the full state which allows subsequent close()
call to succeed. [ticket:1603]
- Fixed the "numeric" paramstyle, which apparently is the
default paramstyle used by Informixdb.
- Repeat expressions in the columns clause of a select
are deduped based on the identity of each clause element,
not the actual string. This allows positional
elements to render correctly even if they all render
identically, such as "qmark" style bind parameters.
[ticket:1574]
- The cursor associated with connection pool connections
(i.e. _CursorFairy) now proxies `__iter__()` to the
underlying cursor correctly. [ticket:1632]
- types now support an "affinity comparison" operation, i.e.
that an Integer/SmallInteger are "compatible", or
a Text/String, PickleType/Binary, etc. Part of
[ticket:1556].
- Fixed bug preventing alias() of an alias() from being
cloned or adapted (occurs frequently in ORM operations).
[ticket:1641]
- sqlite
- sqlite dialect properly generates CREATE INDEX for a table
that is in an alternate schema. [ticket:1439]
- postgresql
- Added support for reflecting the DOUBLE PRECISION type,
via a new postgres.PGDoublePrecision object.
This is postgresql.DOUBLE_PRECISION in 0.6.
[ticket:1085]
- Added support for reflecting the INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND syntaxes of the INTERVAL
type. [ticket:460]
- Corrected the "has_sequence" query to take current schema,
or explicit sequence-stated schema, into account.
[ticket:1576]
- Fixed the behavior of extract() to apply operator
precedence rules to the "::" operator when applying
the "timestamp" cast - ensures proper parenthesization.
[ticket:1611]
- mssql
- Changed the name of TrustedConnection to
Trusted_Connection when constructing pyodbc connect
arguments [ticket:1561]
- oracle
- The "table_names" dialect function, used by MetaData
.reflect(), omits "index overflow tables", a system
table generated by Oracle when "index only tables"
with overflow are used. These tables aren't accessible
via SQL and can't be reflected. [ticket:1637]
- ext
- A column can be added to a joined-table declarative
superclass after the class has been constructed
(i.e. via class-level attribute assignment), and
the column will be propagated down to
subclasses. [ticket:1570] This is the reverse
situation as that of [ticket:1523], fixed in 0.5.6.
- Fixed a slight inaccuracy in the sharding example.
Comparing equivalence of columns in the ORM is best
accomplished using col1.shares_lineage(col2).
[ticket:1491]
- Removed unused `load()` method from ShardedQuery.
[ticket:1606]

py-sqlalchemy: updated to 1.3.1
1.3.1
orm
[orm] [bug] [ext] Fixed regression where an association proxy linked to a synonym would no longer work, both at instance level and at class level.
mssql
[mssql] [bug] A commit() is emitted after an isolation level change to SNAPSHOT, as both pyodbc and pymssql open an implicit transaction which blocks subsequent SQL from being emitted in the current transaction.
This change is also backported to: 1.2.19
[mssql] [bug] Fixed regression in SQL Server reflection due to 4393 where the removal of open-ended **kw from the Float datatype caused reflection of this type to fail due to a “scale” argument being passed.
1.3.0
orm
[orm] [feature] The Query.get() method can now accept a dictionary of attribute keys and values as a means of indicating the primary key value to load; is particularly useful for composite primary keys. Pull request courtesy Sanjana S.
[orm] [feature] A SQL expression can now be assigned to a primary key attribute for an ORM flush in the same manner as ordinary attributes as described in Embedding SQL Insert/Update Expressions into a Flush where the expression will be evaulated and then returned to the ORM using RETURNING, or in the case of pysqlite, works using the cursor.lastrowid attribute.Requires either a database that supports RETURNING (e.g. Postgresql, Oracle, SQL Server) or pysqlite.
engine
[engine] [feature] Revised the formatting for StatementError when stringified. Each error detail is broken up over multiple newlines instead of spaced out on a single line. Additionally, the SQL representation now stringifies the SQL statement rather than using repr(), so that newlines are rendered as is. Pull request courtesy Nate Clark.
See also
Changed StatementError formatting (newlines and %s)
sql
[sql] [bug] The Alias class and related subclasses CTE, Lateral and TableSample have been reworked so that it is not possible for a user to construct the objects directly. These constructs require that the standalone construction function or selectable-bound method be used to instantiate new objects.
schema
[schema] [feature] Added new parameters Table.resolve_fks and MetaData.reflect.resolve_fks which when set to False will disable the automatic reflection of related tables encountered in ForeignKey objects, which can both reduce SQL overhead for omitted tables as well as avoid tables that can’t be reflected for database-specific reasons. Two Table objects present in the same MetaData collection can still refer to each other even if the reflection of the two tables occurred separately

py-sqlalchemy: updated to 1.3.16
1.3.16
orm
[orm] [bug]
Fixed bug in orm.selectinload() loading option where two or more loaders that represent different relationships with the same string key name as referenced from a single orm.with_polymorphic() construct with multiple subclass mappers would fail to invoke each subqueryload separately, instead making use of a single string-based slot that would prevent the other loaders from being invoked.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed issue where a lazyload that uses session-local “get” against a target many-to-one relationship where an object with the correct primary key is present, however it’s an instance of a sibling class, does not correctly return None as is the case when the lazy loader actually emits a load for that row.
[orm] [performance]
Modified the queries used by subqueryload and selectinload to no longer ORDER BY the primary key of the parent entity; this ordering was there to allow the rows as they come in to be copied into lists directly with a minimal level of Python-side collation. However, these ORDER BY clauses can negatively impact the performance of the query as in many scenarios these columns are derived from a subquery or are otherwise not actual primary key columns such that SQL planners cannot make use of indexes. The Python-side collation uses the native itertools.group_by() to collate the incoming rows, and has been modified to allow multiple row-groups-per-parent to be assembled together using list.extend(), which should still allow for relatively fast Python-side performance. There will still be an ORDER BY present for a relationship that includes an explicit order_by parameter, however this is the only ORDER BY that will be added to the query for both kinds of loading.
orm declarative
[bug] [declarative] [orm]
The string argument accepted as the first positional argument by the relationship() function when using the Declarative API is no longer interpreted using the Python eval() function; instead, the name is dot separated and the names are looked up directly in the name resolution dictionary without treating the value as a Python expression. However, passing a string argument to the other relationship() parameters that necessarily must accept Python expressions will still use eval(); the documentation has been clarified to ensure that there is no ambiguity that this is in use.
See also
Evaluation of relationship arguments - details on string evaluation
sql
[sql] [types]
Add ability to literal compile a DateTime, Date or :class:”Time” when using the string dialect for debugging purposes. This change does not impact real dialect implementation that retain their current behavior.
schema
[schema] [reflection]
Added support for reflection of “computed” columns, which are now returned as part of the structure returned by Inspector.get_columns(). When reflecting full Table objects, computed columns will be represented using the Computed construct.
postgresql
[postgresql] [bug]
Fixed issue where a “covering” index, e.g. those which have an INCLUDE clause, would be reflected including all the columns in INCLUDE clause as regular columns. A warning is now emitted if these additional columns are detected indicating that they are currently ignored. Note that full support for “covering” indexes is part of 4458. Pull request courtesy Marat Sharafutdinov.
mysql
[mysql] [bug]
Fixed issue in MySQL dialect when connecting to a psuedo-MySQL database such as that provided by ProxySQL, the up front check for isolation level when it returns no row will not prevent the dialect from continuing to connect. A warning is emitted that the isolation level could not be detected.
sqlite
[sqlite] [usecase]
Implemented AUTOCOMMIT isolation level for SQLite when using pysqlite.
mssql
[mssql] [usecase] [mysql] [oracle]
Added support for ColumnOperators.is_distinct_from() and ColumnOperators.isnot_distinct_from() to SQL Server, MySQL, and Oracle.
oracle
[oracle] [usecase]
Implemented AUTOCOMMIT isolation level for Oracle when using cx_Oracle. Also added a fixed default isolation level of READ COMMITTED for Oracle.
[oracle] [bug] [reflection]
Fixed regression / incorrect fix caused by fix for 5146 where the Oracle dialect reads from the “all_tab_comments” view to get table comments but fails to accommodate for the current owner of the table being requested, causing it to read the wrong comment if multiple tables of the same name exist in multiple schemas.
misc
[bug] [tests]
Fixed an issue that prevented the test suite from running with the recently released py.test 5.4.0.
[enum] [types]
The Enum type now supports the parameter Enum.length to specify the length of the VARCHAR column to create when using non native enums by setting Enum.native_enum to False
[installer]
Ensured that the “pyproject.toml” file is not included in builds, as the presence of this file indicates to pip that a pep-517 installation process should be used. As this mode of operation appears to be not well supported by current tools / distros, these problems are avoided within the scope of SQLAlchemy installation by omitting the file.
1.3.15
orm
[orm] [bug]
Adjusted the error message emitted by Query.join() when a left hand side can’t be located that the Query.select_from() method is the best way to resolve the issue. Also, within the 1.3 series, used a deterministic ordering when determining the FROM clause from a given column entity passed to Query so that the same expression is determined each time.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed regression in 1.3.14 due to 4849 where a sys.exc_info() call failed to be invoked correctly when a flush error would occur. Test coverage has been added for this exception case.
1.3.14
general
[general] [bug] [py3k]
Applied an explicit “cause” to most if not all internally raised exceptions that are raised from within an internal exception catch, to avoid misleading stacktraces that suggest an error within the handling of an exception. While it would be preferable to suppress the internally caught exception in the way that the __suppress_context__ attribute would, there does not as yet seem to be a way to do this without suppressing an enclosing user constructed context, so for now it exposes the internally caught exception as the cause so that full information about the context of the error is maintained.
orm
[orm] [usecase]
Added a new flag InstanceEvents.restore_load_context and SessionEvents.restore_load_context which apply to the InstanceEvents.load(), InstanceEvents.refresh(), and SessionEvents.loaded_as_persistent() events, which when set will restore the “load context” of the object after the event hook has been called. This ensures that the object remains within the “loader context” of the load operation that is already ongoing, rather than the object being transferred to a new load context due to refresh operations which may have occurred in the event. A warning is now emitted when this condition occurs, which recommends use of the flag to resolve this case. The flag is “opt-in” so that there is no risk introduced to existing applications.
The change additionally adds support for the raw=True flag to session lifecycle events.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed regression caused in 1.3.13 by 5056 where a refactor of the ORM path registry system made it such that a path could no longer be compared to an empty tuple, which can occur in a particular kind of joined eager loading path. The “empty tuple” use case has been resolved so that the path registry is compared to a path registry in all cases; the PathRegistry object itself now implements __eq__() and __ne__() methods which will take place for all equality comparisons and continue to succeed in the not anticipated case that a non- PathRegistry object is compared, while emitting a warning that this object should not be the subject of the comparison.
[orm] [bug]
Setting a relationship to viewonly=True which is also the target of a back_populates or backref configuration will now emit a warning and eventually be disallowed. back_populates refers specifically to mutation of an attribute or collection, which is disallowed when the attribute is subject to viewonly=True. The viewonly attribute is not subject to persistence behaviors which means it will not reflect correct results when it is locally mutated.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed an additional regression in the same area as that of 5080 introduced in 1.3.0b3 via 4468 where the ability to create a joined option across a with_polymorphic() into a relationship against the base class of that with_polymorphic, and then further into regular mapped relationships would fail as the base class component would not add itself to the load path in a way that could be located by the loader strategy. The changes applied in 5080 have been further refined to also accommodate this scenario.
engine
[engine] [bug]
Expanded the scope of cursor/connection cleanup when a statement is executed to include when the result object fails to be constructed, or an after_cursor_execute() event raises an error, or autocommit / autoclose fails. This allows the DBAPI cursor to be cleaned up on failure and for connectionless execution allows the connection to be closed out and returned to the connection pool, where previously it waiting until garbage collection would trigger a pool return.
sql
[sql] [bug] [postgresql]
Fixed bug where a CTE of an INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE that also uses RETURNING could then not be SELECTed from directly, as the internal state of the compiler would try to treat the outer SELECT as a DELETE statement itself and access nonexistent state.
postgresql
[postgresql] [bug]
Fixed issue where the “schema_translate_map” feature would not work with a PostgreSQL native enumeration type (i.e. Enum, postgresql.ENUM) in that while the “CREATE TYPE” statement would be emitted with the correct schema, the schema would not be rendered in the CREATE TABLE statement at the point at which the enumeration was referenced.
[postgresql] [bug] [reflection]
Fixed bug where PostgreSQL reflection of CHECK constraints would fail to parse the constraint if the SQL text contained newline characters. The regular expression has been adjusted to accommodate for this case. Pull request courtesy Eric Borczuk.
mysql
[mysql] [bug]
Fixed issue in MySQL mysql.Insert.on_duplicate_key_update() construct where using a SQL function or other composed expression for a column argument would not properly render the VALUES keyword surrounding the column itself.
mssql
[mssql] [bug]
Fixed issue where the mssql.DATETIMEOFFSET type would not accommodate for the None value, introduced as part of the series of fixes for this type first introduced in 4983, 5045. Additionally, added support for passing a backend-specific date formatted string through this type, as is typically allowed for date/time types on most other DBAPIs.
oracle
[oracle] [bug]
Fixed a reflection bug where table comments could only be retrieved for tables actually owned by the user but not for tables visible to the user but owned by someone else. Pull request courtesy Dave Hirschfeld.
misc
[usecase] [ext]
Added keyword arguments to the MutableList.sort() function so that a key function as well as the “reverse” keyword argument can be provided.
[bug] [performance]
Revised an internal change to the test system added as a result of 5085 where a testing-related module per dialect would be loaded unconditionally upon making use of that dialect, pulling in SQLAlchemy’s testing framework as well as the ORM into the module import space. This would only impact initial startup time and memory to a modest extent, however it’s best that these additional modules aren’t reverse-dependent on straight Core usage.
[bug] [installation]
Vendored the inspect.formatannotation function inside of sqlalchemy.util.compat, which is needed for the vendored version of inspect.formatargspec. The function is not documented in cPython and is not guaranteed to be available in future Python versions.

Update SQLalchemy to version 0.6.0.
Changes since 0.5.6:
0.6.0
=====
- orm
- Unit of work internals have been rewritten. Units of work
with large numbers of objects interdependent objects
can now be flushed without recursion overflows
as there is no longer reliance upon recursive calls
[ticket:1081]. The number of internal structures now stays
constant for a particular session state, regardless of
how many relationships are present on mappings. The flow
of events now corresponds to a linear list of steps,
generated by the mappers and relationships based on actual
work to be done, filtered through a single topological sort
for correct ordering. Flush actions are assembled using
far fewer steps and less memory. [ticket:1742]
- Along with the UOW rewrite, this also removes an issue
introduced in 0.6beta3 regarding topological cycle detection
for units of work with long dependency cycles. We now use
an algorithm written by Guido (thanks Guido!).
- one-to-many relationships now maintain a list of positive
parent-child associations within the flush, preventing
previous parents marked as deleted from cascading a
delete or NULL foreign key set on those child objects,
despite the end-user not removing the child from the old
association. [ticket:1764]
- A collection lazy load will switch off default
eagerloading on the reverse many-to-one side, since
that loading is by definition unnecessary. [ticket:1495]
- Session.refresh() now does an equivalent expire()
on the given instance first, so that the "refresh-expire"
cascade is propagated. Previously, refresh() was
not affected in any way by the presence of "refresh-expire"
cascade. This is a change in behavior versus that
of 0.6beta2, where the "lockmode" flag passed to refresh()
would cause a version check to occur. Since the instance
is first expired, refresh() always upgrades the object
to the most recent version.
- The 'refresh-expire' cascade, when reaching a pending object,
will expunge the object if the cascade also includes
"delete-orphan", or will simply detach it otherwise.
[ticket:1754]
- id(obj) is no longer used internally within topological.py,
as the sorting functions now require hashable objects
only. [ticket:1756]
- The ORM will set the docstring of all generated descriptors
to None by default. This can be overridden using 'doc'
(or if using Sphinx, attribute docstrings work too).
- Added kw argument 'doc' to all mapper property callables
as well as Column(). Will assemble the string 'doc' as
the '__doc__' attribute on the descriptor.
- Usage of version_id_col on a backend that supports
cursor.rowcount for execute() but not executemany() now works
when a delete is issued (already worked for saves, since those
don't use executemany()). For a backend that doesn't support
cursor.rowcount at all, a warning is emitted the same
as with saves. [ticket:1761]
- The ORM now short-term caches the "compiled" form of
insert() and update() constructs when flushing lists of
objects of all the same class, thereby avoiding redundant
compilation per individual INSERT/UPDATE within an
individual flush() call.
- internal getattr(), setattr(), getcommitted() methods
on ColumnProperty, CompositeProperty, RelationshipProperty
have been underscored (i.e. are private), signature has
changed.
- engines
- The C extension now also works with DBAPIs which use custom
sequences as row (and not only tuples). [ticket:1757]
- sql
- Restored some bind-labeling logic from 0.5 which ensures
that tables with column names that overlap another column
of the form "<tablename>_<columnname>" won't produce
errors if column._label is used as a bind name during
an UPDATE. Test coverage which wasn't present in 0.5
has been added. [ticket:1755]
- somejoin.select(fold_equivalents=True) is no longer
deprecated, and will eventually be rolled into a more
comprehensive version of the feature for [ticket:1729].
- the Numeric type raises an *enormous* warning when expected
to convert floats to Decimal from a DBAPI that returns floats.
This includes SQLite, Sybase, MS-SQL. [ticket:1759]
- Fixed an error in expression typing which caused an endless
loop for expressions with two NULL types.
- Fixed bug in execution_options() feature whereby the existing
Transaction and other state information from the parent
connection would not be propagated to the sub-connection.
- Added new 'compiled_cache' execution option. A dictionary
where Compiled objects will be cached when the Connection
compiles a clause expression into a dialect- and parameter-
specific Compiled object. It is the user's responsibility to
manage the size of this dictionary, which will have keys
corresponding to the dialect, clause element, the column
names within the VALUES or SET clause of an INSERT or UPDATE,
as well as the "batch" mode for an INSERT or UPDATE statement.
- Added get_pk_constraint() to reflection.Inspector, similar
to get_primary_keys() except returns a dict that includes the
name of the constraint, for supported backends (PG so far).
[ticket:1769]
- Table.create() and Table.drop() no longer apply metadata-
level create/drop events. [ticket:1771]
- ext
- the compiler extension now allows @compiles decorators
on base classes that extend to child classes, @compiles
decorators on child classes that aren't broken by a
@compiles decorator on the base class.
- Declarative will raise an informative error message
if a non-mapped class attribute is referenced in the
string-based relationship() arguments.
- Further reworked the "mixin" logic in declarative to
additionally allow __mapper_args__ as a @classproperty
on a mixin, such as to dynamically assign polymorphic_identity.
- postgresql
- Postgresql now reflects sequence names associated with
SERIAL columns correctly, after the name of of the sequence
has been changed. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the patch.
[ticket:1071]
- Repaired missing import in psycopg2._PGNumeric type when
unknown numeric is received.
- psycopg2/pg8000 dialects now aware of REAL[], FLOAT[],
DOUBLE_PRECISION[], NUMERIC[] return types without
raising an exception.
- Postgresql reflects the name of primary key constraints,
if one exists. [ticket:1769]
- oracle
- Now using cx_oracle output converters so that the
DBAPI returns natively the kinds of values we prefer:
- NUMBER values with positive precision + scale convert
to cx_oracle.STRING and then to Decimal. This
allows perfect precision for the Numeric type when
using cx_oracle. [ticket:1759]
- STRING/FIXED_CHAR now convert to unicode natively.
SQLAlchemy's String types then don't need to
apply any kind of conversions.
- firebird
- The functionality of result.rowcount can be disabled on a
per-engine basis by setting 'enable_rowcount=False'
on create_engine(). Normally, cursor.rowcount is called
after any UPDATE or DELETE statement unconditionally,
because the cursor is then closed and Firebird requires
an open cursor in order to get a rowcount. This
call is slightly expensive however so it can be disabled.
To re-enable on a per-execution basis, the
'enable_rowcount=True' execution option may be used.
- examples
- Updated attribute_shard.py example to use a more robust
method of searching a Query for binary expressions which
compare columns against literal values.
0.6beta3
========
- orm
- Major feature: Added new "subquery" loading capability to
relationship(). This is an eager loading option which
generates a second SELECT for each collection represented
in a query, across all parents at once. The query
re-issues the original end-user query wrapped in a subquery,
applies joins out to the target collection, and loads
all those collections fully in one result, similar to
"joined" eager loading but using all inner joins and not
re-fetching full parent rows repeatedly (as most DBAPIs seem
to do, even if columns are skipped). Subquery loading is
available at mapper config level using "lazy='subquery'" and
at the query options level using "subqueryload(props..)",
"subqueryload_all(props...)". [ticket:1675]
- To accomodate the fact that there are now two kinds of eager
loading available, the new names for eagerload() and
eagerload_all() are joinedload() and joinedload_all(). The
old names will remain as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- The "lazy" flag on the relationship() function now accepts
a string argument for all kinds of loading: "select", "joined",
"subquery", "noload" and "dynamic", where the default is now
"select". The old values of True/
False/None still retain their usual meanings and will remain
as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- Added with_hint() method to Query() construct. This calls
directly down to select().with_hint() and also accepts
entities as well as tables and aliases. See with_hint() in the
SQL section below. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug in Query whereby calling q.join(prop).from_self(...).
join(prop) would fail to render the second join outside the
subquery, when joining on the same criterion as was on the
inside.
- Fixed bug in Query whereby the usage of aliased() constructs
would fail if the underlying table (but not the actual alias)
were referenced inside the subquery generated by
q.from_self() or q.select_from().
- Fixed bug which affected all eagerload() and similar options
such that "remote" eager loads, i.e. eagerloads off of a lazy
load such as query(A).options(eagerload(A.b, B.c))
wouldn't eagerload anything, but using eagerload("b.c") would
work fine.
- Query gains an add_columns(*columns) method which is a multi-
version of add_column(col). add_column(col) is future
deprecated.
- Query.join() will detect if the end result will be
"FROM A JOIN A", and will raise an error if so.
- Query.join(Cls.propname, from_joinpoint=True) will check more
carefully that "Cls" is compatible with the current joinpoint,
and act the same way as Query.join("propname", from_joinpoint=True)
in that regard.
- sql
- Added with_hint() method to select() construct. Specify
a table/alias, hint text, and optional dialect name, and
"hints" will be rendered in the appropriate place in the
statement. Works for Oracle, Sybase, MySQL. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug introduced in 0.6beta2 where column labels would
render inside of column expressions already assigned a label.
[ticket:1747]
- postgresql
- The psycopg2 dialect will log NOTICE messages via the
"sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql" logger name.
[ticket:877]
- the TIME and TIMESTAMP types are now availble from the
postgresql dialect directly, which add the PG-specific
argument 'precision' to both. 'precision' and
'timezone' are correctly reflected for both TIME and
TIMEZONE types. [ticket:997]
- mysql
- No longer guessing that TINYINT(1) should be BOOLEAN
when reflecting - TINYINT(1) is returned. Use Boolean/
BOOLEAN in table definition to get boolean conversion
behavior. [ticket:1752]
- oracle
- The Oracle dialect will issue VARCHAR type definitions
using character counts, i.e. VARCHAR2(50 CHAR), so that
the column is sized in terms of characters and not bytes.
Column reflection of character types will also use
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.CHAR_LENGTH instead of
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.DATA_LENGTH. Both of these behaviors take
effect when the server version is 9 or higher - for
version 8, the old behaviors are used. [ticket:1744]
- declarative
- Using a mixin won't break if the mixin implements an
unpredictable __getattribute__(), i.e. Zope interfaces.
[ticket:1746]
- Using @classdecorator and similar on mixins to define
__tablename__, __table_args__, etc. now works if
the method references attributes on the ultimate
subclass. [ticket:1749]
- relationships and columns with foreign keys aren't
allowed on declarative mixins, sorry. [ticket:1751]
- ext
- The sqlalchemy.orm.shard module now becomes an extension,
sqlalchemy.ext.horizontal_shard. The old import
works with a deprecation warning.
0.6beta2
========
- py3k
- Improved the installation/test setup regarding Python 3,
now that Distribute runs on Py3k. distribute_setup.py
is now included. See README.py3k for Python 3 installation/
testing instructions.
- orm
- The official name for the relation() function is now
relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational
algebra term. relation() however will remain available
in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
- Added "version_id_generator" argument to Mapper, this is a
callable that, given the current value of the "version_id_col",
returns the next version number. Can be used for alternate
versioning schemes such as uuid, timestamps. [ticket:1692]
- added "lockmode" kw argument to Session.refresh(), will
pass through the string value to Query the same as
in with_lockmode(), will also do version check for a
version_id_col-enabled mapping.
- Fixed bug whereby calling query(A).join(A.bs).add_entity(B)
in a joined inheritance scenario would double-add B as a
target and produce an invalid query. [ticket:1188]
- Fixed bug in session.rollback() which involved not removing
formerly "pending" objects from the session before
re-integrating "deleted" objects, typically occured with
natural primary keys. If there was a primary key conflict
between them, the attach of the deleted would fail
internally. The formerly "pending" objects are now expunged
first. [ticket:1674]
- Removed a lot of logging that nobody really cares about,
logging that remains will respond to live changes in the
log level. No significant overhead is added. [ticket:1719]
- Fixed bug in session.merge() which prevented dict-like
collections from merging.
- session.merge() works with relations that specifically
don't include "merge" in their cascade options - the target
is ignored completely.
- session.merge() will not expire existing scalar attributes
on an existing target if the target has a value for that
attribute, even if the incoming merged doesn't have
a value for the attribute. This prevents unnecessary loads
on existing items. Will still mark the attr as expired
if the destination doesn't have the attr, though, which
fulfills some contracts of deferred cols. [ticket:1681]
- The "allow_null_pks" flag is now called "allow_partial_pks",
defaults to True, acts like it did in 0.5 again. Except,
it also is implemented within merge() such that a SELECT
won't be issued for an incoming instance with partially
NULL primary key if the flag is False. [ticket:1680]
- Fixed bug in 0.6-reworked "many-to-one" optimizations
such that a many-to-one that is against a non-primary key
column on the remote table (i.e. foreign key against a
UNIQUE column) will pull the "old" value in from the
database during a change, since if it's in the session
we will need it for proper history/backref accounting,
and we can't pull from the local identity map on a
non-primary key column. [ticket:1737]
- fixed internal error which would occur if calling has()
or similar complex expression on a single-table inheritance
relation(). [ticket:1731]
- query.one() no longer applies LIMIT to the query, this to
ensure that it fully counts all object identities present
in the result, even in the case where joins may conceal
multiple identities for two or more rows. As a bonus,
one() can now also be called with a query that issued
from_statement() to start with since it no longer modifies
the query. [ticket:1688]
- query.get() now returns None if queried for an identifier
that is present in the identity map with a different class
than the one requested, i.e. when using polymorphic loading.
[ticket:1727]
- A major fix in query.join(), when the "on" clause is an
attribute of an aliased() construct, but there is already
an existing join made out to a compatible target, query properly
joins to the right aliased() construct instead of sticking
onto the right side of the existing join. [ticket:1706]
- Slight improvement to the fix for [ticket:1362] to not issue
needless updates of the primary key column during a so-called
"row switch" operation, i.e. add + delete of two objects
with the same PK.
- Now uses sqlalchemy.orm.exc.DetachedInstanceError when an
attribute load or refresh action fails due to object
being detached from any Session. UnboundExecutionError
is specific to engines bound to sessions and statements.
- Query called in the context of an expression will render
disambiguating labels in all cases. Note that this does
not apply to the existing .statement and .subquery()
accessor/method, which still honors the .with_labels()
setting that defaults to False.
- Query.union() retains disambiguating labels within the
returned statement, thus avoiding various SQL composition
errors which can result from column name conflicts.
[ticket:1676]
- Fixed bug in attribute history that inadvertently invoked
__eq__ on mapped instances.
- Some internal streamlining of object loading grants a
small speedup for large results, estimates are around
10-15%. Gave the "state" internals a good solid
cleanup with less complexity, datamembers,
method calls, blank dictionary creates.
- Documentation clarification for query.delete()
[ticket:1689]
- Fixed cascade bug in many-to-one relation() when attribute
was set to None, introduced in r6711 (cascade deleted
items into session during add()).
- Calling query.order_by() or query.distinct() before calling
query.select_from(), query.with_polymorphic(), or
query.from_statement() raises an exception now instead of
silently dropping those criterion. [ticket:1736]
- query.scalar() now raises an exception if more than one
row is returned. All other behavior remains the same.
[ticket:1735]
- Fixed bug which caused "row switch" logic, that is an
INSERT and DELETE replaced by an UPDATE, to fail when
version_id_col was in use. [ticket:1692]
- sql
- join() will now simulate a NATURAL JOIN by default. Meaning,
if the left side is a join, it will attempt to join the right
side to the rightmost side of the left first, and not raise
any exceptions about ambiguous join conditions if successful
even if there are further join targets across the rest of
the left. [ticket:1714]
- The most common result processors conversion function were
moved to the new "processors" module. Dialect authors are
encouraged to use those functions whenever they correspond
to their needs instead of implementing custom ones.
- SchemaType and subclasses Boolean, Enum are now serializable,
including their ddl listener and other event callables.
[ticket:1694] [ticket:1698]
- Some platforms will now interpret certain literal values
as non-bind parameters, rendered literally into the SQL
statement. This to support strict SQL-92 rules that are
enforced by some platforms including MS-SQL and Sybase.
In this model, bind parameters aren't allowed in the
columns clause of a SELECT, nor are certain ambiguous
expressions like "?=?". When this mode is enabled, the base
compiler will render the binds as inline literals, but only across
strings and numeric values. Other types such as dates
will raise an error, unless the dialect subclass defines
a literal rendering function for those. The bind parameter
must have an embedded literal value already or an error
is raised (i.e. won't work with straight bindparam('x')).
Dialects can also expand upon the areas where binds are not
accepted, such as within argument lists of functions
(which don't work on MS-SQL when native SQL binding is used).
- Added "unicode_errors" parameter to String, Unicode, etc.
Behaves like the 'errors' keyword argument to
the standard library's string.decode() functions. This flag
requires that `convert_unicode` is set to `"force"` - otherwise,
SQLAlchemy is not guaranteed to handle the task of unicode
conversion. Note that this flag adds significant performance
overhead to row-fetching operations for backends that already
return unicode objects natively (which most DBAPIs do). This
flag should only be used as an absolute last resort for reading
strings from a column with varied or corrupted encodings,
which only applies to databases that accept invalid encodings
in the first place (i.e. MySQL. *not* PG, Sqlite, etc.)
- Added math negation operator support, -x.
- FunctionElement subclasses are now directly executable the
same way any func.foo() construct is, with automatic
SELECT being applied when passed to execute().
- The "type" and "bind" keyword arguments of a func.foo()
construct are now local to "func." constructs and are
not part of the FunctionElement base class, allowing
a "type" to be handled in a custom constructor or
class-level variable.
- Restored the keys() method to ResultProxy.
- The type/expression system now does a more complete job
of determining the return type from an expression
as well as the adaptation of the Python operator into
a SQL operator, based on the full left/right/operator
of the given expression. In particular
the date/time/interval system created for Postgresql
EXTRACT in [ticket:1647] has now been generalized into
the type system. The previous behavior which often
occured of an expression "column + literal" forcing
the type of "literal" to be the same as that of "column"
will now usually not occur - the type of
"literal" is first derived from the Python type of the
literal, assuming standard native Python types + date
types, before falling back to that of the known type
on the other side of the expression. If the
"fallback" type is compatible (i.e. CHAR from String),
the literal side will use that. TypeDecorator
types override this by default to coerce the "literal"
side unconditionally, which can be changed by implementing
the coerce_compared_value() method. Also part of
[ticket:1683].
- Made sqlalchemy.sql.expressions.Executable part of public
API, used for any expression construct that can be sent to
execute(). FunctionElement now inherits Executable so that
it gains execution_options(), which are also propagated
to the select() that's generated within execute().
Executable in turn subclasses _Generative which marks
any ClauseElement that supports the @_generative
decorator - these may also become "public" for the benefit
of the compiler extension at some point.
- A change to the solution for [ticket:1579] - an end-user
defined bind parameter name that directly conflicts with
a column-named bind generated directly from the SET or
VALUES clause of an update/insert generates a compile error.
This reduces call counts and eliminates some cases where
undesirable name conflicts could still occur.
- Column() requires a type if it has no foreign keys (this is
not new). An error is now raised if a Column() has no type
and no foreign keys. [ticket:1705]
- the "scale" argument of the Numeric() type is honored when
coercing a returned floating point value into a string
on its way to Decimal - this allows accuracy to function
on SQLite, MySQL. [ticket:1717]
- the copy() method of Column now copies over uninitialized
"on table attach" events. Helps with the new declarative
"mixin" capability.
- engines
- Added an optional C extension to speed up the sql layer by
reimplementing RowProxy and the most common result processors.
The actual speedups will depend heavily on your DBAPI and
the mix of datatypes used in your tables, and can vary from
a 30% improvement to more than 200%. It also provides a modest
(~15-20%) indirect improvement to ORM speed for large queries.
Note that it is *not* built/installed by default.
See README for installation instructions.
- the execution sequence pulls all rowcount/last inserted ID
info from the cursor before commit() is called on the
DBAPI connection in an "autocommit" scenario. This helps
mxodbc with rowcount and is probably a good idea overall.
- Opened up logging a bit such that isEnabledFor() is called
more often, so that changes to the log level for engine/pool
will be reflected on next connect. This adds a small
amount of method call overhead. It's negligible and will make
life a lot easier for all those situations when logging
just happens to be configured after create_engine() is called.
[ticket:1719]
- The assert_unicode flag is deprecated. SQLAlchemy will raise
a warning in all cases where it is asked to encode a non-unicode
Python string, as well as when a Unicode or UnicodeType type
is explicitly passed a bytestring. The String type will do nothing
for DBAPIs that already accept Python unicode objects.
- Bind parameters are sent as a tuple instead of a list. Some
backend drivers will not accept bind parameters as a list.
- threadlocal engine wasn't properly closing the connection
upon close() - fixed that.
- Transaction object doesn't rollback or commit if it isn't
"active", allows more accurate nesting of begin/rollback/commit.
- Python unicode objects as binds result in the Unicode type,
not string, thus eliminating a certain class of unicode errors
on drivers that don't support unicode binds.
- Added "logging_name" argument to create_engine(), Pool() constructor
as well as "pool_logging_name" argument to create_engine() which
filters down to that of Pool. Issues the given string name
within the "name" field of logging messages instead of the default
hex identifier string. [ticket:1555]
- The visit_pool() method of Dialect is removed, and replaced with
on_connect(). This method returns a callable which receives
the raw DBAPI connection after each one is created. The callable
is assembled into a first_connect/connect pool listener by the
connection strategy if non-None. Provides a simpler interface
for dialects.
- StaticPool now initializes, disposes and recreates without
opening a new connection - the connection is only opened when
first requested. dispose() also works on AssertionPool now.
[ticket:1728]
- metadata
- Added the ability to strip schema information when using
"tometadata" by passing "schema=None" as an argument. If schema
is not specified then the table's schema is retained.
[ticket: 1673]
- declarative
- DeclarativeMeta exclusively uses cls.__dict__ (not dict_)
as the source of class information; _as_declarative exclusively
uses the dict_ passed to it as the source of class information
(which when using DeclarativeMeta is cls.__dict__). This should
in theory make it easier for custom metaclasses to modify
the state passed into _as_declarative.
- declarative now accepts mixin classes directly, as a means
to provide common functional and column-based elements on
all subclasses, as well as a means to propagate a fixed
set of __table_args__ or __mapper_args__ to subclasses.
For custom combinations of __table_args__/__mapper_args__ from
an inherited mixin to local, descriptors can now be used.
New details are all up in the Declarative documentation.
Thanks to Chris Withers for putting up with my strife
on this. [ticket:1707]
- the __mapper_args__ dict is copied when propagating to a subclass,
and is taken straight off the class __dict__ to avoid any
propagation from the parent. mapper inheritance already
propagates the things you want from the parent mapper.
[ticket:1393]
- An exception is raised when a single-table subclass specifies
a column that is already present on the base class.
[ticket:1732]
- mysql
- Fixed reflection bug whereby when COLLATE was present,
nullable flag and server defaults would not be reflected.
[ticket:1655]
- Fixed reflection of TINYINT(1) "boolean" columns defined with
integer flags like UNSIGNED.
- Further fixes for the mysql-connector dialect. [ticket:1668]
- Composite PK table on InnoDB where the "autoincrement" column
isn't first will emit an explicit "KEY" phrase within
CREATE TABLE thereby avoiding errors, [ticket:1496]
- Added reflection/create table support for a wide range
of MySQL keywords. [ticket:1634]
- Fixed import error which could occur reflecting tables on
a Windows host [ticket:1580]
- mssql
- Re-established support for the pymssql dialect.
- Various fixes for implicit returning, reflection,
etc. - the MS-SQL dialects aren't quite complete
in 0.6 yet (but are close)
- Added basic support for mxODBC [ticket:1710].
- Removed the text_as_varchar option.
- oracle
- "out" parameters require a type that is supported by
cx_oracle. An error will be raised if no cx_oracle
type can be found.
- Oracle 'DATE' now does not perform any result processing,
as the DATE type in Oracle stores full date+time objects,
that's what you'll get. Note that the generic types.Date
type *will* still call value.date() on incoming values,
however. When reflecting a table, the reflected type
will be 'DATE'.
- Added preliminary support for Oracle's WITH_UNICODE
mode. At the very least this establishes initial
support for cx_Oracle with Python 3. When WITH_UNICODE
mode is used in Python 2.xx, a large and scary warning
is emitted asking that the user seriously consider
the usage of this difficult mode of operation.
[ticket:1670]
- The except_() method now renders as MINUS on Oracle,
which is more or less equivalent on that platform.
[ticket:1712]
- Added support for rendering and reflecting
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, i.e. TIMESTAMP(timezone=True).
[ticket:651]
- Oracle INTERVAL type can now be reflected.
- sqlite
- Added "native_datetime=True" flag to create_engine().
This will cause the DATE and TIMESTAMP types to skip
all bind parameter and result row processing, under
the assumption that PARSE_DECLTYPES has been enabled
on the connection. Note that this is not entirely
compatible with the "func.current_date()", which
will be returned as a string. [ticket:1685]
- sybase
- Implemented a preliminary working dialect for Sybase,
with sub-implementations for Python-Sybase as well
as Pyodbc. Handles table
creates/drops and basic round trip functionality.
Does not yet include reflection or comprehensive
support of unicode/special expressions/etc.
- examples
- Changed the beaker cache example a bit to have a separate
RelationCache option for lazyload caching. This object
does a lookup among any number of potential attributes
more efficiently by grouping several into a common structure.
Both FromCache and RelationCache are simpler individually.
- documentation
- Major cleanup work in the docs to link class, function, and
method names into the API docs. [ticket:1700/1702/1703]
0.6beta1
========
- Major Release
- For the full set of feature descriptions, see
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/06Migration .
This document is a work in progress.
- All bug fixes and feature enhancements from the most
recent 0.5 version and below are also included within 0.6.
- Platforms targeted now include Python 2.4/2.5/2.6, Python
3.1, Jython2.5.
- orm
- Changes to query.update() and query.delete():
- the 'expire' option on query.update() has been renamed to
'fetch', thus matching that of query.delete().
'expire' is deprecated and issues a warning.
- query.update() and query.delete() both default to
'evaluate' for the synchronize strategy.
- the 'synchronize' strategy for update() and delete()
raises an error on failure. There is no implicit fallback
onto "fetch". Failure of evaluation is based on the
structure of criteria, so success/failure is deterministic
based on code structure.
- Enhancements on many-to-one relations:
- many-to-one relations now fire off a lazyload in fewer
cases, including in most cases will not fetch the "old"
value when a new one is replaced.
- many-to-one relation to a joined-table subclass now uses
get() for a simple load (known as the "use_get"
condition), i.e. Related->Sub(Base), without the need to
redefine the primaryjoin condition in terms of the base
table. [ticket:1186]
- specifying a foreign key with a declarative column, i.e.
ForeignKey(MyRelatedClass.id) doesn't break the "use_get"
condition from taking place [ticket:1492]
- relation(), eagerload(), and eagerload_all() now feature
an option called "innerjoin". Specify `True` or `False` to
control whether an eager join is constructed as an INNER
or OUTER join. Default is `False` as always. The mapper
options will override whichever setting is specified on
relation(). Should generally be set for many-to-one, not
nullable foreign key relations to allow improved join
performance. [ticket:1544]
- the behavior of eagerloading such that the main query is
wrapped in a subquery when LIMIT/OFFSET are present now
makes an exception for the case when all eager loads are
many-to-one joins. In those cases, the eager joins are
against the parent table directly along with the
limit/offset without the extra overhead of a subquery,
since a many-to-one join does not add rows to the result.
- Enhancements / Changes on Session.merge():
- the "dont_load=True" flag on Session.merge() is deprecated
and is now "load=False".
- Session.merge() is performance optimized, using half the
call counts for "load=False" mode compared to 0.5 and
significantly fewer SQL queries in the case of collections
for "load=True" mode.
- merge() will not issue a needless merge of attributes if the
given instance is the same instance which is already present.
- merge() now also merges the "options" associated with a given
state, i.e. those passed through query.options() which follow
along with an instance, such as options to eagerly- or
lazyily- load various attributes. This is essential for
the construction of highly integrated caching schemes. This
is a subtle behavioral change vs. 0.5.
- A bug was fixed regarding the serialization of the "loader
path" present on an instance's state, which is also necessary
when combining the usage of merge() with serialized state
and associated options that should be preserved.
- The all new merge() is showcased in a new comprehensive
example of how to integrate Beaker with SQLAlchemy. See
the notes in the "examples" note below.
- Primary key values can now be changed on a joined-table inheritance
object, and ON UPDATE CASCADE will be taken into account when
the flush happens. Set the new "passive_updates" flag to False
on mapper() when using SQLite or MySQL/MyISAM. [ticket:1362]
- flush() now detects when a primary key column was updated by
an ON UPDATE CASCADE operation from another primary key, and
can then locate the row for a subsequent UPDATE on the new PK
value. This occurs when a relation() is there to establish
the relationship as well as passive_updates=True. [ticket:1671]
- the "save-update" cascade will now cascade the pending *removed*
values from a scalar or collection attribute into the new session
during an add() operation. This so that the flush() operation
will also delete or modify rows of those disconnected items.
- Using a "dynamic" loader with a "secondary" table now produces
a query where the "secondary" table is *not* aliased. This
allows the secondary Table object to be used in the "order_by"
attribute of the relation(), and also allows it to be used
in filter criterion against the dynamic relation.
[ticket:1531]
- relation() with uselist=False will emit a warning when
an eager or lazy load locates more than one valid value for
the row. This may be due to primaryjoin/secondaryjoin
conditions which aren't appropriate for an eager LEFT OUTER
JOIN or for other conditions. [ticket:1643]
- an explicit check occurs when a synonym() is used with
map_column=True, when a ColumnProperty (deferred or otherwise)
exists separately in the properties dictionary sent to mapper
with the same keyname. Instead of silently replacing
the existing property (and possible options on that property),
an error is raised. [ticket:1633]
- a "dynamic" loader sets up its query criterion at construction
time so that the actual query is returned from non-cloning
accessors like "statement".
- the "named tuple" objects returned when iterating a
Query() are now pickleable.
- mapping to a select() construct now requires that you
make an alias() out of it distinctly. This to eliminate
confusion over such issues as [ticket:1542]
- query.join() has been reworked to provide more consistent
behavior and more flexibility (includes [ticket:1537])
- query.select_from() accepts multiple clauses to produce
multiple comma separated entries within the FROM clause.
Useful when selecting from multiple-homed join() clauses.
- query.select_from() also accepts mapped classes, aliased()
constructs, and mappers as arguments. In particular this
helps when querying from multiple joined-table classes to ensure
the full join gets rendered.
- query.get() can be used with a mapping to an outer join
where one or more of the primary key values are None.
[ticket:1135]
- query.from_self(), query.union(), others which do a
"SELECT * from (SELECT...)" type of nesting will do
a better job translating column expressions within the subquery
to the columns clause of the outer query. This is
potentially backwards incompatible with 0.5, in that this
may break queries with literal expressions that do not have labels
applied (i.e. literal('foo'), etc.)
[ticket:1568]
- relation primaryjoin and secondaryjoin now check that they
are column-expressions, not just clause elements. this prohibits
things like FROM expressions being placed there directly.
[ticket:1622]
- `expression.null()` is fully understood the same way
None is when comparing an object/collection-referencing
attribute within query.filter(), filter_by(), etc.
[ticket:1415]
- added "make_transient()" helper function which transforms a
persistent/ detached instance into a transient one (i.e.
deletes the instance_key and removes from any session.)
[ticket:1052]
- the allow_null_pks flag on mapper() is deprecated, and
the feature is turned "on" by default. This means that
a row which has a non-null value for any of its primary key
columns will be considered an identity. The need for this
scenario typically only occurs when mapping to an outer join.
[ticket:1339]
- the mechanics of "backref" have been fully merged into the
finer grained "back_populates" system, and take place entirely
within the _generate_backref() method of RelationProperty. This
makes the initialization procedure of RelationProperty
simpler and allows easier propagation of settings (such as from
subclasses of RelationProperty) into the reverse reference.
The internal BackRef() is gone and backref() returns a plain
tuple that is understood by RelationProperty.
- The version_id_col feature on mapper() will raise a warning when
used with dialects that don't support "rowcount" adequately.
[ticket:1569]
- added "execution_options()" to Query, to so options can be
passed to the resulting statement. Currently only
Select-statements have these options, and the only option
used is "stream_results", and the only dialect which knows
"stream_results" is psycopg2.
- Query.yield_per() will set the "stream_results" statement
option automatically.
- Deprecated or removed:
* 'allow_null_pks' flag on mapper() is deprecated. It does
nothing now and the setting is "on" in all cases.
* 'transactional' flag on sessionmaker() and others is
removed. Use 'autocommit=True' to indicate 'transactional=False'.
* 'polymorphic_fetch' argument on mapper() is removed.
Loading can be controlled using the 'with_polymorphic'
option.
* 'select_table' argument on mapper() is removed. Use
'with_polymorphic=("*", <some selectable>)' for this
functionality.
* 'proxy' argument on synonym() is removed. This flag
did nothing throughout 0.5, as the "proxy generation"
behavior is now automatic.
* Passing a single list of elements to eagerload(),
eagerload_all(), contains_eager(), lazyload(),
defer(), and undefer() instead of multiple positional
*args is deprecated.
* Passing a single list of elements to query.order_by(),
query.group_by(), query.join(), or query.outerjoin()
instead of multiple positional *args is deprecated.
* query.iterate_instances() is removed. Use query.instances().
* Query.query_from_parent() is removed. Use the
sqlalchemy.orm.with_parent() function to produce a
"parent" clause, or alternatively query.with_parent().
* query._from_self() is removed, use query.from_self()
instead.
* the "comparator" argument to composite() is removed.
Use "comparator_factory".
* RelationProperty._get_join() is removed.
* the 'echo_uow' flag on Session is removed. Use
logging on the "sqlalchemy.orm.unitofwork" name.
* session.clear() is removed. use session.expunge_all().
* session.save(), session.update(), session.save_or_update()
are removed. Use session.add() and session.add_all().
* the "objects" flag on session.flush() remains deprecated.
* the "dont_load=True" flag on session.merge() is deprecated
in favor of "load=False".
* ScopedSession.mapper remains deprecated. See the
usage recipe at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/SessionAwareMapper
* passing an InstanceState (internal SQLAlchemy state object) to
attributes.init_collection() or attributes.get_history() is
deprecated. These functions are public API and normally
expect a regular mapped object instance.
* the 'engine' parameter to declarative_base() is removed.
Use the 'bind' keyword argument.
- sql
- the "autocommit" flag on select() and text() as well
as select().autocommit() are deprecated - now call
.execution_options(autocommit=True) on either of those
constructs, also available directly on Connection and orm.Query.
- the autoincrement flag on column now indicates the column
which should be linked to cursor.lastrowid, if that method
is used. See the API docs for details.
- an executemany() now requires that all bound parameter
sets require that all keys are present which are
present in the first bound parameter set. The structure
and behavior of an insert/update statement is very much
determined by the first parameter set, including which
defaults are going to fire off, and a minimum of
guesswork is performed with all the rest so that performance
is not impacted. For this reason defaults would otherwise
silently "fail" for missing parameters, so this is now guarded
against. [ticket:1566]
- returning() support is native to insert(), update(),
delete(). Implementations of varying levels of
functionality exist for Postgresql, Firebird, MSSQL and
Oracle. returning() can be called explicitly with column
expressions which are then returned in the resultset,
usually via fetchone() or first().
insert() constructs will also use RETURNING implicitly to
get newly generated primary key values, if the database
version in use supports it (a version number check is
performed). This occurs if no end-user returning() was
specified.
- union(), intersect(), except() and other "compound" types
of statements have more consistent behavior w.r.t.
parenthesizing. Each compound element embedded within
another will now be grouped with parenthesis - previously,
the first compound element in the list would not be grouped,
as SQLite doesn't like a statement to start with
parenthesis. However, Postgresql in particular has
precedence rules regarding INTERSECT, and it is
more consistent for parenthesis to be applied equally
to all sub-elements. So now, the workaround for SQLite
is also what the workaround for PG was previously -
when nesting compound elements, the first one usually needs
".alias().select()" called on it to wrap it inside
of a subquery. [ticket:1665]
- insert() and update() constructs can now embed bindparam()
objects using names that match the keys of columns. These
bind parameters will circumvent the usual route to those
keys showing up in the VALUES or SET clause of the generated
SQL. [ticket:1579]
- the Binary type now returns data as a Python string
(or a "bytes" type in Python 3), instead of the built-
in "buffer" type. This allows symmetric round trips
of binary data. [ticket:1524]
- Added a tuple_() construct, allows sets of expressions
to be compared to another set, typically with IN against
composite primary keys or similar. Also accepts an
IN with multiple columns. The "scalar select can
have only one column" error message is removed - will
rely upon the database to report problems with
col mismatch.
- User-defined "default" and "onupdate" callables which
accept a context should now call upon
"context.current_parameters" to get at the dictionary
of bind parameters currently being processed. This
dict is available in the same way regardless of
single-execute or executemany-style statement execution.
- multi-part schema names, i.e. with dots such as
"dbo.master", are now rendered in select() labels
with underscores for dots, i.e. "dbo_master_table_column".
This is a "friendly" label that behaves better
in result sets. [ticket:1428]
- removed needless "counter" behavior with select()
labelnames that match a column name in the table,
i.e. generates "tablename_id" for "id", instead of
"tablename_id_1" in an attempt to avoid naming
conflicts, when the table has a column actually
named "tablename_id" - this is because
the labeling logic is always applied to all columns
so a naming conflict will never occur.
- calling expr.in_([]), i.e. with an empty list, emits a warning
before issuing the usual "expr != expr" clause. The
"expr != expr" can be very expensive, and it's preferred
that the user not issue in_() if the list is empty,
instead simply not querying, or modifying the criterion
as appropriate for more complex situations.
[ticket:1628]
- Added "execution_options()" to select()/text(), which set the
default options for the Connection. See the note in "engines".
- Deprecated or removed:
* "scalar" flag on select() is removed, use
select.as_scalar().
* "shortname" attribute on bindparam() is removed.
* postgres_returning, firebird_returning flags on
insert(), update(), delete() are deprecated, use
the new returning() method.
* fold_equivalents flag on join is deprecated (will remain
until [ticket:1131] is implemented)
- engines
- transaction isolation level may be specified with
create_engine(... isolation_level="..."); available on
postgresql and sqlite. [ticket:443]
- Connection has execution_options(), generative method
which accepts keywords that affect how the statement
is executed w.r.t. the DBAPI. Currently supports
"stream_results", causes psycopg2 to use a server
side cursor for that statement, as well as
"autocommit", which is the new location for the "autocommit"
option from select() and text(). select() and
text() also have .execution_options() as well as
ORM Query().
- fixed the import for entrypoint-driven dialects to
not rely upon silly tb_info trick to determine import
error status. [ticket:1630]
- added first() method to ResultProxy, returns first row and
closes result set immediately.
- RowProxy objects are now pickleable, i.e. the object returned
by result.fetchone(), result.fetchall() etc.
- RowProxy no longer has a close() method, as the row no longer
maintains a reference to the parent. Call close() on
the parent ResultProxy instead, or use autoclose.
- ResultProxy internals have been overhauled to greatly reduce
method call counts when fetching columns. Can provide a large
speed improvement (up to more than 100%) when fetching large
result sets. The improvement is larger when fetching columns
that have no type-level processing applied and when using
results as tuples (instead of as dictionaries). Many
thanks to Elixir's Gaëtan de Menten for this dramatic
improvement ! [ticket:1586]
- Databases which rely upon postfetch of "last inserted id"
to get at a generated sequence value (i.e. MySQL, MS-SQL)
now work correctly when there is a composite primary key
where the "autoincrement" column is not the first primary
key column in the table.
- the last_inserted_ids() method has been renamed to the
descriptor "inserted_primary_key".
- setting echo=False on create_engine() now sets the loglevel
to WARN instead of NOTSET. This so that logging can be
disabled for a particular engine even if logging
for "sqlalchemy.engine" is enabled overall. Note that the
default setting of "echo" is `None`. [ticket:1554]
- ConnectionProxy now has wrapper methods for all transaction
lifecycle events, including begin(), rollback(), commit()
begin_nested(), begin_prepared(), prepare(), release_savepoint(),
etc.
- Connection pool logging now uses both INFO and DEBUG
log levels for logging. INFO is for major events such
as invalidated connections, DEBUG for all the acquire/return
logging. `echo_pool` can be False, None, True or "debug"
the same way as `echo` works.
- All pyodbc-dialects now support extra pyodbc-specific
kw arguments 'ansi', 'unicode_results', 'autocommit'.
[ticket:1621]
- the "threadlocal" engine has been rewritten and simplified
and now supports SAVEPOINT operations.
- deprecated or removed
* result.last_inserted_ids() is deprecated. Use
result.inserted_primary_key
* dialect.get_default_schema_name(connection) is now
public via dialect.default_schema_name.
* the "connection" argument from engine.transaction() and
engine.run_callable() is removed - Connection itself
now has those methods. All four methods accept
*args and **kwargs which are passed to the given callable,
as well as the operating connection.
- schema
- the `__contains__()` method of `MetaData` now accepts
strings or `Table` objects as arguments. If given
a `Table`, the argument is converted to `table.key` first,
i.e. "[schemaname.]<tablename>" [ticket:1541]
- deprecated MetaData.connect() and
ThreadLocalMetaData.connect() have been removed - send
the "bind" attribute to bind a metadata.
- deprecated metadata.table_iterator() method removed (use
sorted_tables)
- deprecated PassiveDefault - use DefaultClause.
- the "metadata" argument is removed from DefaultGenerator
and subclasses, but remains locally present on Sequence,
which is a standalone construct in DDL.
- Removed public mutability from Index and Constraint
objects:
- ForeignKeyConstraint.append_element()
- Index.append_column()
- UniqueConstraint.append_column()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.add()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.remove()
These should be constructed declaratively (i.e. in one
construction).
- The "start" and "increment" attributes on Sequence now
generate "START WITH" and "INCREMENT BY" by default,
on Oracle and Postgresql. Firebird doesn't support
these keywords right now. [ticket:1545]
- UniqueConstraint, Index, PrimaryKeyConstraint all accept
lists of column names or column objects as arguments.
- Other removed things:
- Table.key (no idea what this was for)
- Table.primary_key is not assignable - use
table.append_constraint(PrimaryKeyConstraint(...))
- Column.bind (get via column.table.bind)
- Column.metadata (get via column.table.metadata)
- Column.sequence (use column.default)
- ForeignKey(constraint=some_parent) (is now private _constraint)
- The use_alter flag on ForeignKey is now a shortcut option
for operations that can be hand-constructed using the
DDL() event system. A side effect of this refactor is
that ForeignKeyConstraint objects with use_alter=True
will *not* be emitted on SQLite, which does not support
ALTER for foreign keys.
- ForeignKey and ForeignKeyConstraint objects now correctly
copy() all their public keyword arguments. [ticket:1605]
- Reflection/Inspection
- Table reflection has been expanded and generalized into
a new API called "sqlalchemy.engine.reflection.Inspector".
The Inspector object provides fine-grained information about
a wide variety of schema information, with room for expansion,
including table names, column names, view definitions, sequences,
indexes, etc.
- Views are now reflectable as ordinary Table objects. The same
Table constructor is used, with the caveat that "effective"
primary and foreign key constraints aren't part of the reflection
results; these have to be specified explicitly if desired.
- The existing autoload=True system now uses Inspector underneath
so that each dialect need only return "raw" data about tables
and other objects - Inspector is the single place that information
is compiled into Table objects so that consistency is at a maximum.
- DDL
- the DDL system has been greatly expanded. the DDL() class
now extends the more generic DDLElement(), which forms the basis
of many new constructs:
- CreateTable()
- DropTable()
- AddConstraint()
- DropConstraint()
- CreateIndex()
- DropIndex()
- CreateSequence()
- DropSequence()
These support "on" and "execute-at()" just like plain DDL()
does. User-defined DDLElement subclasses can be created and
linked to a compiler using the sqlalchemy.ext.compiler extension.
- The signature of the "on" callable passed to DDL() and
DDLElement() is revised as follows:
"ddl" - the DDLElement object itself.
"event" - the string event name.
"target" - previously "schema_item", the Table or
MetaData object triggering the event.
"connection" - the Connection object in use for the operation.
**kw - keyword arguments. In the case of MetaData before/after
create/drop, the list of Table objects for which
CREATE/DROP DDL is to be issued is passed as the kw
argument "tables". This is necessary for metadata-level
DDL that is dependent on the presence of specific tables.
- the "schema_item" attribute of DDL has been renamed to
"target".
- dialect refactor
- Dialect modules are now broken into database dialects
plus DBAPI implementations. Connect URLs are now
preferred to be specified using dialect+driver://...,
i.e. "mysql+mysqldb://scott:tiger@localhost/test". See
the 0.6 documentation for examples.
- the setuptools entrypoint for external dialects is now
called "sqlalchemy.dialects".
- the "owner" keyword argument is removed from Table. Use
"schema" to represent any namespaces to be prepended to
the table name.
- server_version_info becomes a static attribute.
- dialects receive an initialize() event on initial
connection to determine connection properties.
- dialects receive a visit_pool event have an opportunity
to establish pool listeners.
- cached TypeEngine classes are cached per-dialect class
instead of per-dialect.
- new UserDefinedType should be used as a base class for
new types, which preserves the 0.5 behavior of
get_col_spec().
- The result_processor() method of all type classes now
accepts a second argument "coltype", which is the DBAPI
type argument from cursor.description. This argument
can help some types decide on the most efficient processing
of result values.
- Deprecated Dialect.get_params() removed.
- Dialect.get_rowcount() has been renamed to a descriptor
"rowcount", and calls cursor.rowcount directly. Dialects
which need to hardwire a rowcount in for certain calls
should override the method to provide different behavior.
- DefaultRunner and subclasses have been removed. The job
of this object has been simplified and moved into
ExecutionContext. Dialects which support sequences should
add a `fire_sequence()` method to their execution context
implementation. [ticket:1566]
- Functions and operators generated by the compiler now use
(almost) regular dispatch functions of the form
"visit_<opname>" and "visit_<funcname>_fn" to provide
customed processing. This replaces the need to copy the
"functions" and "operators" dictionaries in compiler
subclasses with straightforward visitor methods, and also
allows compiler subclasses complete control over
rendering, as the full _Function or _BinaryExpression
object is passed in.
- postgresql
- New dialects: pg8000, zxjdbc, and pypostgresql
on py3k.
- The "postgres" dialect is now named "postgresql" !
Connection strings look like:
postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test
postgresql+pg8000://scott:tiger@localhost/test
The "postgres" name remains for backwards compatiblity
in the following ways:
- There is a "postgres.py" dummy dialect which
allows old URLs to work, i.e.
postgres://scott:tiger@localhost/test
- The "postgres" name can be imported from the old
"databases" module, i.e. "from
sqlalchemy.databases import postgres" as well as
"dialects", "from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgres
import base as pg", will send a deprecation
warning.
- Special expression arguments are now named
"postgresql_returning" and "postgresql_where", but
the older "postgres_returning" and
"postgres_where" names still work with a
deprecation warning.
- "postgresql_where" now accepts SQL expressions which
can also include literals, which will be quoted as needed.
- The psycopg2 dialect now uses psycopg2's "unicode extension"
on all new connections, which allows all String/Text/etc.
types to skip the need to post-process bytestrings into
unicode (an expensive step due to its volume). Other
dialects which return unicode natively (pg8000, zxjdbc)
also skip unicode post-processing.
- Added new ENUM type, which exists as a schema-level
construct and extends the generic Enum type. Automatically
associates itself with tables and their parent metadata
to issue the appropriate CREATE TYPE/DROP TYPE
commands as needed, supports unicode labels, supports
reflection. [ticket:1511]
- INTERVAL supports an optional "precision" argument
corresponding to the argument that PG accepts.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
psycopg2 can't handle a bind parameter name of
%(foobar)s however and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead
just to treat that one non-existent use case.
[ticket:1279]
- Inserting NULL into a primary key + foreign key column
will allow the "not null constraint" error to raise,
not an attempt to execute a nonexistent "col_id_seq"
sequence. [ticket:1516]
- autoincrement SELECT statements, i.e. those which
select from a procedure that modifies rows, now work
with server-side cursor mode (the named cursor isn't
used for such statements.)
- postgresql dialect can properly detect pg "devel" version
strings, i.e. "8.5devel" [ticket:1636]
- The psycopg2 now respects the statement option
"stream_results". This option overrides the connection setting
"server_side_cursors". If true, server side cursors will be
used for the statement. If false, they will not be used, even
if "server_side_cursors" is true on the
connection. [ticket:1619]
- mysql
- New dialects: oursql, a new native dialect,
MySQL Connector/Python, a native Python port of MySQLdb,
and of course zxjdbc on Jython.
- VARCHAR/NVARCHAR will not render without a length, raises
an error before passing to MySQL. Doesn't impact
CAST since VARCHAR is not allowed in MySQL CAST anyway,
the dialect renders CHAR/NCHAR in those cases.
- all the _detect_XXX() functions now run once underneath
dialect.initialize()
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
MySQLdb can't handle % signs in SQL when executemany() is used,
and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead just to treat that one
non-existent use case. [ticket:1279]
- the BINARY and MSBinary types now generate "BINARY" in all
cases. Omitting the "length" parameter will generate
"BINARY" with no length. Use BLOB to generate an unlengthed
binary column.
- the "quoting='quoted'" argument to MSEnum/ENUM is deprecated.
It's best to rely upon the automatic quoting.
- ENUM now subclasses the new generic Enum type, and also handles
unicode values implicitly, if the given labelnames are unicode
objects.
- a column of type TIMESTAMP now defaults to NULL if
"nullable=False" is not passed to Column(), and no default
is present. This is now consistent with all other types,
and in the case of TIMESTAMP explictly renders "NULL"
due to MySQL's "switching" of default nullability
for TIMESTAMP columns. [ticket:1539]
- oracle
- unit tests pass 100% with cx_oracle !
- support for cx_Oracle's "native unicode" mode which does
not require NLS_LANG to be set. Use the latest 5.0.2 or
later of cx_oracle.
- an NCLOB type is added to the base types.
- use_ansi=False won't leak into the FROM/WHERE clause of
a statement that's selecting from a subquery that also
uses JOIN/OUTERJOIN.
- added native INTERVAL type to the dialect. This supports
only the DAY TO SECOND interval type so far due to lack
of support in cx_oracle for YEAR TO MONTH. [ticket:1467]
- usage of the CHAR type results in cx_oracle's
FIXED_CHAR dbapi type being bound to statements.
- the Oracle dialect now features NUMBER which intends
to act justlike Oracle's NUMBER type. It is the primary
numeric type returned by table reflection and attempts
to return Decimal()/float/int based on the precision/scale
parameters. [ticket:885]
- func.char_length is a generic function for LENGTH
- ForeignKey() which includes onupdate=<value> will emit a
warning, not emit ON UPDATE CASCADE which is unsupported
by oracle
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- using types.BigInteger with Oracle will generate
NUMBER(19) [ticket:1125]
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- firebird
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- mssql
- MSSQL + Pyodbc + FreeTDS now works for the most part,
with possible exceptions regarding binary data as well as
unicode schema identifiers.
- the "has_window_funcs" flag is removed. LIMIT/OFFSET
usage will use ROW NUMBER as always, and if on an older
version of SQL Server, the operation fails. The behavior
is exactly the same except the error is raised by SQL
server instead of the dialect, and no flag setting is
required to enable it.
- the "auto_identity_insert" flag is removed. This feature
always takes effect when an INSERT statement overrides a
column that is known to have a sequence on it. As with
"has_window_funcs", if the underlying driver doesn't
support this, then you can't do this operation in any
case, so there's no point in having a flag.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- removed references to sequence which is no longer used.
implicit identities in mssql work the same as implicit
sequences on any other dialects. Explicit sequences are
enabled through the use of "default=Sequence()". See
the MSSQL dialect documentation for more information.
- sqlite
- DATE, TIME and DATETIME types can now take optional storage_format
and regexp argument. storage_format can be used to store those types
using a custom string format. regexp allows to use a custom regular
expression to match string values from the database.
- Time and DateTime types now use by a default a stricter regular
expression to match strings from the database. Use the regexp
argument if you are using data stored in a legacy format.
- __legacy_microseconds__ on SQLite Time and DateTime types is not
supported anymore. You should use the storage_format argument
instead.
- Date, Time and DateTime types are now stricter in what they accept as
bind parameters: Date type only accepts date objects (and datetime
ones, because they inherit from date), Time only accepts time
objects, and DateTime only accepts date and datetime objects.
- Table() supports a keyword argument "sqlite_autoincrement", which
applies the SQLite keyword "AUTOINCREMENT" to the single integer
primary key column when generating DDL. Will prevent generation of
a separate PRIMARY KEY constraint. [ticket:1016]
- new dialects
- postgresql+pg8000
- postgresql+pypostgresql (partial)
- postgresql+zxjdbc
- mysql+pyodbc
- mysql+zxjdbc
- types
- The construction of types within dialects has been totally
overhauled. Dialects now define publically available types
as UPPERCASE names exclusively, and internal implementation
types using underscore identifiers (i.e. are private).
The system by which types are expressed in SQL and DDL
has been moved to the compiler system. This has the
effect that there are much fewer type objects within
most dialects. A detailed document on this architecture
for dialect authors is in
lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/type_migration_guidelines.txt .
- Types no longer make any guesses as to default
parameters. In particular, Numeric, Float, NUMERIC,
FLOAT, DECIMAL don't generate any length or scale unless
specified.
- types.Binary is renamed to types.LargeBinary, it only
produces BLOB, BYTEA, or a similar "long binary" type.
New base BINARY and VARBINARY
types have been added to access these MySQL/MS-SQL specific
types in an agnostic way [ticket:1664].
- String/Text/Unicode types now skip the unicode() check
on each result column value if the dialect has
detected the DBAPI as returning Python unicode objects
natively. This check is issued on first connect
using "SELECT CAST 'some text' AS VARCHAR(10)" or
equivalent, then checking if the returned object
is a Python unicode. This allows vast performance
increases for native-unicode DBAPIs, including
pysqlite/sqlite3, psycopg2, and pg8000.
- Most types result processors have been checked for possible speed
improvements. Specifically, the following generic types have been
optimized, resulting in varying speed improvements:
Unicode, PickleType, Interval, TypeDecorator, Binary.
Also the following dbapi-specific implementations have been improved:
Time, Date and DateTime on Sqlite, ARRAY on Postgresql,
Time on MySQL, Numeric(as_decimal=False) on MySQL, oursql and
pypostgresql, DateTime on cx_oracle and LOB-based types on cx_oracle.
- Reflection of types now returns the exact UPPERCASE
type within types.py, or the UPPERCASE type within
the dialect itself if the type is not a standard SQL
type. This means reflection now returns more accurate
information about reflected types.
- Added a new Enum generic type. Enum is a schema-aware object
to support databases which require specific DDL in order to
use enum or equivalent; in the case of PG it handles the
details of `CREATE TYPE`, and on other databases without
native enum support will by generate VARCHAR + an inline CHECK
constraint to enforce the enum.
[ticket:1109] [ticket:1511]
- The Interval type includes a "native" flag which controls
if native INTERVAL types (postgresql + oracle) are selected
if available, or not. "day_precision" and "second_precision"
arguments are also added which propagate as appropriately
to these native types. Related to [ticket:1467].
- The Boolean type, when used on a backend that doesn't
have native boolean support, will generate a CHECK
constraint "col IN (0, 1)" along with the int/smallint-
based column type. This can be switched off if
desired with create_constraint=False.
Note that MySQL has no native boolean *or* CHECK constraint
support so this feature isn't available on that platform.
[ticket:1589]
- PickleType now uses == for comparison of values when
mutable=True, unless the "comparator" argument with a
comparsion function is specified to the type. Objects
being pickled will be compared based on identity (which
defeats the purpose of mutable=True) if __eq__() is not
overridden or a comparison function is not provided.
- The default "precision" and "scale" arguments of Numeric
and Float have been removed and now default to None.
NUMERIC and FLOAT will be rendered with no numeric
arguments by default unless these values are provided.
- AbstractType.get_search_list() is removed - the games
that was used for are no longer necessary.
- Added a generic BigInteger type, compiles to
BIGINT or NUMBER(19). [ticket:1125]
-ext
- sqlsoup has been overhauled to explicitly support an 0.5 style
session, using autocommit=False, autoflush=True. Default
behavior of SQLSoup now requires the usual usage of commit()
and rollback(), which have been added to its interface. An
explcit Session or scoped_session can be passed to the
constructor, allowing these arguments to be overridden.
- sqlsoup db.<sometable>.update() and delete() now call
query(cls).update() and delete(), respectively.
- sqlsoup now has execute() and connection(), which call upon
the Session methods of those names, ensuring that the bind is
in terms of the SqlSoup object's bind.
- sqlsoup objects no longer have the 'query' attribute - it's
not needed for sqlsoup's usage paradigm and it gets in the
way of a column that is actually named 'query'.
- The signature of the proxy_factory callable passed to
association_proxy is now (lazy_collection, creator,
value_attr, association_proxy), adding a fourth argument
that is the parent AssociationProxy argument. Allows
serializability and subclassing of the built in collections.
[ticket:1259]
- association_proxy now has basic comparator methods .any(),
.has(), .contains(), ==, !=, thanks to Scott Torborg.
[ticket:1372]
- examples
- The "query_cache" examples have been removed, and are replaced
with a fully comprehensive approach that combines the usage of
Beaker with SQLAlchemy. New query options are used to indicate
the caching characteristics of a particular Query, which
can also be invoked deep within an object graph when lazily
loading related objects. See /examples/beaker_caching/README.
0.5.9
=====
- sql
- Fixed erroneous self_group() call in expression package.
[ticket:1661]
0.5.8
=====
- sql
- The copy() method on Column now supports uninitialized,
unnamed Column objects. This allows easy creation of
declarative helpers which place common columns on multiple
subclasses.
- Default generators like Sequence() translate correctly
across a copy() operation.
- Sequence() and other DefaultGenerator objects are accepted
as the value for the "default" and "onupdate" keyword
arguments of Column, in addition to being accepted
positionally.
- Fixed a column arithmetic bug that affected column
correspondence for cloned selectables which contain
free-standing column expressions. This bug is
generally only noticeable when exercising newer
ORM behavior only availble in 0.6 via [ticket:1568],
but is more correct at the SQL expression level
as well. [ticket:1617]
- postgresql
- The extract() function, which was slightly improved in
0.5.7, needed a lot more work to generate the correct
typecast (the typecasts appear to be necessary in PG's
EXTRACT quite a lot of the time). The typecast is
now generated using a rule dictionary based
on PG's documentation for date/time/interval arithmetic.
It also accepts text() constructs again, which was broken
in 0.5.7. [ticket:1647]
- firebird
- Recognize more errors as disconnections. [ticket:1646]
0.5.7
=====
- orm
- contains_eager() now works with the automatically
generated subquery that results when you say
"query(Parent).join(Parent.somejoinedsubclass)", i.e.
when Parent joins to a joined-table-inheritance subclass.
Previously contains_eager() would erroneously add the
subclass table to the query separately producing a
cartesian product. An example is in the ticket
description. [ticket:1543]
- query.options() now only propagate to loaded objects
for potential further sub-loads only for options where
such behavior is relevant, keeping
various unserializable options like those generated
by contains_eager() out of individual instance states.
[ticket:1553]
- Session.execute() now locates table- and
mapper-specific binds based on a passed
in expression which is an insert()/update()/delete()
construct. [ticket:1054]
- Session.merge() now properly overwrites a many-to-one or
uselist=False attribute to None if the attribute
is also None in the given object to be merged.
- Fixed a needless select which would occur when merging
transient objects that contained a null primary key
identifier. [ticket:1618]
- Mutable collection passed to the "extension" attribute
of relation(), column_property() etc. will not be mutated
or shared among multiple instrumentation calls, preventing
duplicate extensions, such as backref populators,
from being inserted into the list.
[ticket:1585]
- Fixed the call to get_committed_value() on CompositeProperty.
[ticket:1504]
- Fixed bug where Query would crash if a join() with no clear
"left" side were called when a non-mapped column entity
appeared in the columns list. [ticket:1602]
- Fixed bug whereby composite columns wouldn't load properly
when configured on a joined-table subclass, introduced in
version 0.5.6 as a result of the fix for [ticket:1480].
[ticket:1616] thx to Scott Torborg.
- The "use get" behavior of many-to-one relations, i.e. that a
lazy load will fallback to the possibly cached query.get()
value, now works across join conditions where the two compared
types are not exactly the same class, but share the same
"affinity" - i.e. Integer and SmallInteger. Also allows
combinations of reflected and non-reflected types to work
with 0.5 style type reflection, such as PGText/Text (note 0.6
reflects types as their generic versions). [ticket:1556]
- Fixed bug in query.update() when passing Cls.attribute
as keys in the value dict and using synchronize_session='expire'
('fetch' in 0.6). [ticket:1436]
- sql
- Fixed bug in two-phase transaction whereby commit() method
didn't set the full state which allows subsequent close()
call to succeed. [ticket:1603]
- Fixed the "numeric" paramstyle, which apparently is the
default paramstyle used by Informixdb.
- Repeat expressions in the columns clause of a select
are deduped based on the identity of each clause element,
not the actual string. This allows positional
elements to render correctly even if they all render
identically, such as "qmark" style bind parameters.
[ticket:1574]
- The cursor associated with connection pool connections
(i.e. _CursorFairy) now proxies `__iter__()` to the
underlying cursor correctly. [ticket:1632]
- types now support an "affinity comparison" operation, i.e.
that an Integer/SmallInteger are "compatible", or
a Text/String, PickleType/Binary, etc. Part of
[ticket:1556].
- Fixed bug preventing alias() of an alias() from being
cloned or adapted (occurs frequently in ORM operations).
[ticket:1641]
- sqlite
- sqlite dialect properly generates CREATE INDEX for a table
that is in an alternate schema. [ticket:1439]
- postgresql
- Added support for reflecting the DOUBLE PRECISION type,
via a new postgres.PGDoublePrecision object.
This is postgresql.DOUBLE_PRECISION in 0.6.
[ticket:1085]
- Added support for reflecting the INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND syntaxes of the INTERVAL
type. [ticket:460]
- Corrected the "has_sequence" query to take current schema,
or explicit sequence-stated schema, into account.
[ticket:1576]
- Fixed the behavior of extract() to apply operator
precedence rules to the "::" operator when applying
the "timestamp" cast - ensures proper parenthesization.
[ticket:1611]
- mssql
- Changed the name of TrustedConnection to
Trusted_Connection when constructing pyodbc connect
arguments [ticket:1561]
- oracle
- The "table_names" dialect function, used by MetaData
.reflect(), omits "index overflow tables", a system
table generated by Oracle when "index only tables"
with overflow are used. These tables aren't accessible
via SQL and can't be reflected. [ticket:1637]
- ext
- A column can be added to a joined-table declarative
superclass after the class has been constructed
(i.e. via class-level attribute assignment), and
the column will be propagated down to
subclasses. [ticket:1570] This is the reverse
situation as that of [ticket:1523], fixed in 0.5.6.
- Fixed a slight inaccuracy in the sharding example.
Comparing equivalence of columns in the ORM is best
accomplished using col1.shares_lineage(col2).
[ticket:1491]
- Removed unused `load()` method from ShardedQuery.
[ticket:1606]

Update py-sqlalchemy to version 0.8.2.
Changes since 0.7.10:
- Compatibility for Python 2.4 is being dropped.
- The primaryjoin argument is no longer needed when constructing a
relationship() against a class that has multiple foreign key paths to the
target.
- Relationships against self-referential, composite foreign keys where a
column points to itself are now supported.
- Previously difficult custom join conditions, like those involving
functions and/or CASTing of types, will now function as expected in most
cases.
- New Class/Object Inspection System.
- A new enhancement to the aliased() construct has been added called
with_polymorphic() which allows any entity to be “aliased” into a
“polymorphic” version of itself, freely usable anywhere.
- The PropComparator.of_type() method can now be used to target any number
of target subtypes, by combining it with the new with_polymorphic()
function.
- Mapper and instance events can now be associated with an unmapped
superclass, where those events will be propagated to subclasses as those
subclasses are mapped. The propagate=True flag should be used.
- The registry of class names is now sensitive to the owning module and
package of a given class. The classes can be referred to via dotted name
in expressions.
- The “deferred reflection” feature allows the construction of declarative
mapped classes with only placeholder Table metadata, until a prepare()
step is called, given an Engine with which to reflect fully all tables
and establish actual mappings. The system supports overriding of columns,
single and joined inheritance, as well as distinct bases-per-engine.
- A new SQL registration system allows a mapped class to be accepted as a
FROM clause within the core.
- The new UPDATE..FROM mechanics work in query.update().
- Upon rollback(), only those objects that were made dirty since the last
flush will be expired, the rest of the Session remains intact.
- Caching Example now uses dogpile.cache.
- The new operator system in Core associates new and overridden operators
with types.
- SQL expressions can now be associated with types.
- The inspect() function introduced in New Class/Object Inspection System
also applies to the core.
- select() now has a method Select.correlate_except() which specifies
“correlate on all FROM clauses except those specified”.
- Support for Postgresql’s HSTORE type is now available as
postgresql.HSTORE. This type makes great usage of the new operator system
to provide a full range of operators for HSTORE types, including index
access, concatenation, and containment methods such as has_key(),
has_any(), and matrix().
- The postgresql.ARRAY type will accept an optional “dimension” argument,
pinning it to a fixed number of dimensions and greatly improving
efficiency when retrieving results.
- SQLite has no built-in DATE, TIME, or DATETIME types, and instead
provides some support for storage of date and time values either as
strings or integers.
- The “collate” keyword, long accepted by the MySQL dialect, is now
established on all String types and will render on any backend, including
when features such as MetaData.create_all() and cast() is used.
- Geared towards MySQL, a “prefix” can be rendered within any of these
constructs.
- The consideration of a “pending” object as an “orphan” has been made more
aggressive.
- The after_attach event fires after the item is associated with the
Session instead of before; before_attach added.
- Query now auto-correlates like a select() does.
- Correlation is now always context-specific.
- create_all() and drop_all() will now honor an empty list as such.
- Repaired the Event Targeting of InstrumentationEvents.
- No more magic coercion of “=” to IN when comparing to subquery in
MS-SQL.
- The Session.is_modified() method accepts an argument passive which
basically should not be necessary, the argument in all cases should be
the value True - when left at its default of False it would have the
effect of hitting the database, and often triggering autoflush which
would itself change the results. In 0.8 the passive argument will have no
effect, and unloaded attributes will never be checked for history since
by definition there can be no pending state change on an unloaded
attribute.
- Column.key is honored in the Select.c attribute of select() with
Select.apply_labels().
- A relationship() that is many-to-one or many-to-many and specifies
“cascade=’all, delete-orphan’”, which is an awkward but nonetheless
supported use case (with restrictions) will now raise an error if the
relationship does not specify the single_parent=True option.
- Adding the inspector argument to the column_reflect event.
- The MySQL dialect does two calls, one very expensive, to load all
possible collations from the database as well as information on casing,
the first time an Engine connects. Neither of these collections are used
for any SQLAlchemy functions, so these calls will be changed to no longer
be emitted automatically. Applications that might have relied on these
collections being present on engine.dialect will need to call upon
_detect_collations() and _detect_casing() directly.
- Inspector.get_primary_keys() is deprecated, use
Inspector.get_pk_constraint.
- Case-insensitive result row names will be disabled in most cases. It will
be available only optionally, by passing the flag `case_sensitive=False`
to `create_engine()`, but otherwise column names requested from the row
must match as far as casing.
- The sqlalchemy.orm.interfaces.InstrumentationManager class is moved to
sqlalchemy.ext.instrumentation.InstrumentationManager.
- SQLSoup is now moved into its own project and documented/released
separately; see https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/sqlsoup.
- The older “mutable” system within the SQLAlchemy ORM has been removed.
- We had left in an alias sqlalchemy.exceptions to attempt to make it
slightly easier for some very old libraries that hadn’t yet been upgraded
to use sqlalchemy.exc. Some users are still being confused by it however
so in 0.8 we’re taking it out entirely to eliminate any of that confusion.

Update SQLalchemy to version 0.6.0.
Changes since 0.5.6:
0.6.0
=====
- orm
- Unit of work internals have been rewritten. Units of work
with large numbers of objects interdependent objects
can now be flushed without recursion overflows
as there is no longer reliance upon recursive calls
[ticket:1081]. The number of internal structures now stays
constant for a particular session state, regardless of
how many relationships are present on mappings. The flow
of events now corresponds to a linear list of steps,
generated by the mappers and relationships based on actual
work to be done, filtered through a single topological sort
for correct ordering. Flush actions are assembled using
far fewer steps and less memory. [ticket:1742]
- Along with the UOW rewrite, this also removes an issue
introduced in 0.6beta3 regarding topological cycle detection
for units of work with long dependency cycles. We now use
an algorithm written by Guido (thanks Guido!).
- one-to-many relationships now maintain a list of positive
parent-child associations within the flush, preventing
previous parents marked as deleted from cascading a
delete or NULL foreign key set on those child objects,
despite the end-user not removing the child from the old
association. [ticket:1764]
- A collection lazy load will switch off default
eagerloading on the reverse many-to-one side, since
that loading is by definition unnecessary. [ticket:1495]
- Session.refresh() now does an equivalent expire()
on the given instance first, so that the "refresh-expire"
cascade is propagated. Previously, refresh() was
not affected in any way by the presence of "refresh-expire"
cascade. This is a change in behavior versus that
of 0.6beta2, where the "lockmode" flag passed to refresh()
would cause a version check to occur. Since the instance
is first expired, refresh() always upgrades the object
to the most recent version.
- The 'refresh-expire' cascade, when reaching a pending object,
will expunge the object if the cascade also includes
"delete-orphan", or will simply detach it otherwise.
[ticket:1754]
- id(obj) is no longer used internally within topological.py,
as the sorting functions now require hashable objects
only. [ticket:1756]
- The ORM will set the docstring of all generated descriptors
to None by default. This can be overridden using 'doc'
(or if using Sphinx, attribute docstrings work too).
- Added kw argument 'doc' to all mapper property callables
as well as Column(). Will assemble the string 'doc' as
the '__doc__' attribute on the descriptor.
- Usage of version_id_col on a backend that supports
cursor.rowcount for execute() but not executemany() now works
when a delete is issued (already worked for saves, since those
don't use executemany()). For a backend that doesn't support
cursor.rowcount at all, a warning is emitted the same
as with saves. [ticket:1761]
- The ORM now short-term caches the "compiled" form of
insert() and update() constructs when flushing lists of
objects of all the same class, thereby avoiding redundant
compilation per individual INSERT/UPDATE within an
individual flush() call.
- internal getattr(), setattr(), getcommitted() methods
on ColumnProperty, CompositeProperty, RelationshipProperty
have been underscored (i.e. are private), signature has
changed.
- engines
- The C extension now also works with DBAPIs which use custom
sequences as row (and not only tuples). [ticket:1757]
- sql
- Restored some bind-labeling logic from 0.5 which ensures
that tables with column names that overlap another column
of the form "<tablename>_<columnname>" won't produce
errors if column._label is used as a bind name during
an UPDATE. Test coverage which wasn't present in 0.5
has been added. [ticket:1755]
- somejoin.select(fold_equivalents=True) is no longer
deprecated, and will eventually be rolled into a more
comprehensive version of the feature for [ticket:1729].
- the Numeric type raises an *enormous* warning when expected
to convert floats to Decimal from a DBAPI that returns floats.
This includes SQLite, Sybase, MS-SQL. [ticket:1759]
- Fixed an error in expression typing which caused an endless
loop for expressions with two NULL types.
- Fixed bug in execution_options() feature whereby the existing
Transaction and other state information from the parent
connection would not be propagated to the sub-connection.
- Added new 'compiled_cache' execution option. A dictionary
where Compiled objects will be cached when the Connection
compiles a clause expression into a dialect- and parameter-
specific Compiled object. It is the user's responsibility to
manage the size of this dictionary, which will have keys
corresponding to the dialect, clause element, the column
names within the VALUES or SET clause of an INSERT or UPDATE,
as well as the "batch" mode for an INSERT or UPDATE statement.
- Added get_pk_constraint() to reflection.Inspector, similar
to get_primary_keys() except returns a dict that includes the
name of the constraint, for supported backends (PG so far).
[ticket:1769]
- Table.create() and Table.drop() no longer apply metadata-
level create/drop events. [ticket:1771]
- ext
- the compiler extension now allows @compiles decorators
on base classes that extend to child classes, @compiles
decorators on child classes that aren't broken by a
@compiles decorator on the base class.
- Declarative will raise an informative error message
if a non-mapped class attribute is referenced in the
string-based relationship() arguments.
- Further reworked the "mixin" logic in declarative to
additionally allow __mapper_args__ as a @classproperty
on a mixin, such as to dynamically assign polymorphic_identity.
- postgresql
- Postgresql now reflects sequence names associated with
SERIAL columns correctly, after the name of of the sequence
has been changed. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the patch.
[ticket:1071]
- Repaired missing import in psycopg2._PGNumeric type when
unknown numeric is received.
- psycopg2/pg8000 dialects now aware of REAL[], FLOAT[],
DOUBLE_PRECISION[], NUMERIC[] return types without
raising an exception.
- Postgresql reflects the name of primary key constraints,
if one exists. [ticket:1769]
- oracle
- Now using cx_oracle output converters so that the
DBAPI returns natively the kinds of values we prefer:
- NUMBER values with positive precision + scale convert
to cx_oracle.STRING and then to Decimal. This
allows perfect precision for the Numeric type when
using cx_oracle. [ticket:1759]
- STRING/FIXED_CHAR now convert to unicode natively.
SQLAlchemy's String types then don't need to
apply any kind of conversions.
- firebird
- The functionality of result.rowcount can be disabled on a
per-engine basis by setting 'enable_rowcount=False'
on create_engine(). Normally, cursor.rowcount is called
after any UPDATE or DELETE statement unconditionally,
because the cursor is then closed and Firebird requires
an open cursor in order to get a rowcount. This
call is slightly expensive however so it can be disabled.
To re-enable on a per-execution basis, the
'enable_rowcount=True' execution option may be used.
- examples
- Updated attribute_shard.py example to use a more robust
method of searching a Query for binary expressions which
compare columns against literal values.
0.6beta3
========
- orm
- Major feature: Added new "subquery" loading capability to
relationship(). This is an eager loading option which
generates a second SELECT for each collection represented
in a query, across all parents at once. The query
re-issues the original end-user query wrapped in a subquery,
applies joins out to the target collection, and loads
all those collections fully in one result, similar to
"joined" eager loading but using all inner joins and not
re-fetching full parent rows repeatedly (as most DBAPIs seem
to do, even if columns are skipped). Subquery loading is
available at mapper config level using "lazy='subquery'" and
at the query options level using "subqueryload(props..)",
"subqueryload_all(props...)". [ticket:1675]
- To accomodate the fact that there are now two kinds of eager
loading available, the new names for eagerload() and
eagerload_all() are joinedload() and joinedload_all(). The
old names will remain as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- The "lazy" flag on the relationship() function now accepts
a string argument for all kinds of loading: "select", "joined",
"subquery", "noload" and "dynamic", where the default is now
"select". The old values of True/
False/None still retain their usual meanings and will remain
as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- Added with_hint() method to Query() construct. This calls
directly down to select().with_hint() and also accepts
entities as well as tables and aliases. See with_hint() in the
SQL section below. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug in Query whereby calling q.join(prop).from_self(...).
join(prop) would fail to render the second join outside the
subquery, when joining on the same criterion as was on the
inside.
- Fixed bug in Query whereby the usage of aliased() constructs
would fail if the underlying table (but not the actual alias)
were referenced inside the subquery generated by
q.from_self() or q.select_from().
- Fixed bug which affected all eagerload() and similar options
such that "remote" eager loads, i.e. eagerloads off of a lazy
load such as query(A).options(eagerload(A.b, B.c))
wouldn't eagerload anything, but using eagerload("b.c") would
work fine.
- Query gains an add_columns(*columns) method which is a multi-
version of add_column(col). add_column(col) is future
deprecated.
- Query.join() will detect if the end result will be
"FROM A JOIN A", and will raise an error if so.
- Query.join(Cls.propname, from_joinpoint=True) will check more
carefully that "Cls" is compatible with the current joinpoint,
and act the same way as Query.join("propname", from_joinpoint=True)
in that regard.
- sql
- Added with_hint() method to select() construct. Specify
a table/alias, hint text, and optional dialect name, and
"hints" will be rendered in the appropriate place in the
statement. Works for Oracle, Sybase, MySQL. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug introduced in 0.6beta2 where column labels would
render inside of column expressions already assigned a label.
[ticket:1747]
- postgresql
- The psycopg2 dialect will log NOTICE messages via the
"sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql" logger name.
[ticket:877]
- the TIME and TIMESTAMP types are now availble from the
postgresql dialect directly, which add the PG-specific
argument 'precision' to both. 'precision' and
'timezone' are correctly reflected for both TIME and
TIMEZONE types. [ticket:997]
- mysql
- No longer guessing that TINYINT(1) should be BOOLEAN
when reflecting - TINYINT(1) is returned. Use Boolean/
BOOLEAN in table definition to get boolean conversion
behavior. [ticket:1752]
- oracle
- The Oracle dialect will issue VARCHAR type definitions
using character counts, i.e. VARCHAR2(50 CHAR), so that
the column is sized in terms of characters and not bytes.
Column reflection of character types will also use
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.CHAR_LENGTH instead of
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.DATA_LENGTH. Both of these behaviors take
effect when the server version is 9 or higher - for
version 8, the old behaviors are used. [ticket:1744]
- declarative
- Using a mixin won't break if the mixin implements an
unpredictable __getattribute__(), i.e. Zope interfaces.
[ticket:1746]
- Using @classdecorator and similar on mixins to define
__tablename__, __table_args__, etc. now works if
the method references attributes on the ultimate
subclass. [ticket:1749]
- relationships and columns with foreign keys aren't
allowed on declarative mixins, sorry. [ticket:1751]
- ext
- The sqlalchemy.orm.shard module now becomes an extension,
sqlalchemy.ext.horizontal_shard. The old import
works with a deprecation warning.
0.6beta2
========
- py3k
- Improved the installation/test setup regarding Python 3,
now that Distribute runs on Py3k. distribute_setup.py
is now included. See README.py3k for Python 3 installation/
testing instructions.
- orm
- The official name for the relation() function is now
relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational
algebra term. relation() however will remain available
in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
- Added "version_id_generator" argument to Mapper, this is a
callable that, given the current value of the "version_id_col",
returns the next version number. Can be used for alternate
versioning schemes such as uuid, timestamps. [ticket:1692]
- added "lockmode" kw argument to Session.refresh(), will
pass through the string value to Query the same as
in with_lockmode(), will also do version check for a
version_id_col-enabled mapping.
- Fixed bug whereby calling query(A).join(A.bs).add_entity(B)
in a joined inheritance scenario would double-add B as a
target and produce an invalid query. [ticket:1188]
- Fixed bug in session.rollback() which involved not removing
formerly "pending" objects from the session before
re-integrating "deleted" objects, typically occured with
natural primary keys. If there was a primary key conflict
between them, the attach of the deleted would fail
internally. The formerly "pending" objects are now expunged
first. [ticket:1674]
- Removed a lot of logging that nobody really cares about,
logging that remains will respond to live changes in the
log level. No significant overhead is added. [ticket:1719]
- Fixed bug in session.merge() which prevented dict-like
collections from merging.
- session.merge() works with relations that specifically
don't include "merge" in their cascade options - the target
is ignored completely.
- session.merge() will not expire existing scalar attributes
on an existing target if the target has a value for that
attribute, even if the incoming merged doesn't have
a value for the attribute. This prevents unnecessary loads
on existing items. Will still mark the attr as expired
if the destination doesn't have the attr, though, which
fulfills some contracts of deferred cols. [ticket:1681]
- The "allow_null_pks" flag is now called "allow_partial_pks",
defaults to True, acts like it did in 0.5 again. Except,
it also is implemented within merge() such that a SELECT
won't be issued for an incoming instance with partially
NULL primary key if the flag is False. [ticket:1680]
- Fixed bug in 0.6-reworked "many-to-one" optimizations
such that a many-to-one that is against a non-primary key
column on the remote table (i.e. foreign key against a
UNIQUE column) will pull the "old" value in from the
database during a change, since if it's in the session
we will need it for proper history/backref accounting,
and we can't pull from the local identity map on a
non-primary key column. [ticket:1737]
- fixed internal error which would occur if calling has()
or similar complex expression on a single-table inheritance
relation(). [ticket:1731]
- query.one() no longer applies LIMIT to the query, this to
ensure that it fully counts all object identities present
in the result, even in the case where joins may conceal
multiple identities for two or more rows. As a bonus,
one() can now also be called with a query that issued
from_statement() to start with since it no longer modifies
the query. [ticket:1688]
- query.get() now returns None if queried for an identifier
that is present in the identity map with a different class
than the one requested, i.e. when using polymorphic loading.
[ticket:1727]
- A major fix in query.join(), when the "on" clause is an
attribute of an aliased() construct, but there is already
an existing join made out to a compatible target, query properly
joins to the right aliased() construct instead of sticking
onto the right side of the existing join. [ticket:1706]
- Slight improvement to the fix for [ticket:1362] to not issue
needless updates of the primary key column during a so-called
"row switch" operation, i.e. add + delete of two objects
with the same PK.
- Now uses sqlalchemy.orm.exc.DetachedInstanceError when an
attribute load or refresh action fails due to object
being detached from any Session. UnboundExecutionError
is specific to engines bound to sessions and statements.
- Query called in the context of an expression will render
disambiguating labels in all cases. Note that this does
not apply to the existing .statement and .subquery()
accessor/method, which still honors the .with_labels()
setting that defaults to False.
- Query.union() retains disambiguating labels within the
returned statement, thus avoiding various SQL composition
errors which can result from column name conflicts.
[ticket:1676]
- Fixed bug in attribute history that inadvertently invoked
__eq__ on mapped instances.
- Some internal streamlining of object loading grants a
small speedup for large results, estimates are around
10-15%. Gave the "state" internals a good solid
cleanup with less complexity, datamembers,
method calls, blank dictionary creates.
- Documentation clarification for query.delete()
[ticket:1689]
- Fixed cascade bug in many-to-one relation() when attribute
was set to None, introduced in r6711 (cascade deleted
items into session during add()).
- Calling query.order_by() or query.distinct() before calling
query.select_from(), query.with_polymorphic(), or
query.from_statement() raises an exception now instead of
silently dropping those criterion. [ticket:1736]
- query.scalar() now raises an exception if more than one
row is returned. All other behavior remains the same.
[ticket:1735]
- Fixed bug which caused "row switch" logic, that is an
INSERT and DELETE replaced by an UPDATE, to fail when
version_id_col was in use. [ticket:1692]
- sql
- join() will now simulate a NATURAL JOIN by default. Meaning,
if the left side is a join, it will attempt to join the right
side to the rightmost side of the left first, and not raise
any exceptions about ambiguous join conditions if successful
even if there are further join targets across the rest of
the left. [ticket:1714]
- The most common result processors conversion function were
moved to the new "processors" module. Dialect authors are
encouraged to use those functions whenever they correspond
to their needs instead of implementing custom ones.
- SchemaType and subclasses Boolean, Enum are now serializable,
including their ddl listener and other event callables.
[ticket:1694] [ticket:1698]
- Some platforms will now interpret certain literal values
as non-bind parameters, rendered literally into the SQL
statement. This to support strict SQL-92 rules that are
enforced by some platforms including MS-SQL and Sybase.
In this model, bind parameters aren't allowed in the
columns clause of a SELECT, nor are certain ambiguous
expressions like "?=?". When this mode is enabled, the base
compiler will render the binds as inline literals, but only across
strings and numeric values. Other types such as dates
will raise an error, unless the dialect subclass defines
a literal rendering function for those. The bind parameter
must have an embedded literal value already or an error
is raised (i.e. won't work with straight bindparam('x')).
Dialects can also expand upon the areas where binds are not
accepted, such as within argument lists of functions
(which don't work on MS-SQL when native SQL binding is used).
- Added "unicode_errors" parameter to String, Unicode, etc.
Behaves like the 'errors' keyword argument to
the standard library's string.decode() functions. This flag
requires that `convert_unicode` is set to `"force"` - otherwise,
SQLAlchemy is not guaranteed to handle the task of unicode
conversion. Note that this flag adds significant performance
overhead to row-fetching operations for backends that already
return unicode objects natively (which most DBAPIs do). This
flag should only be used as an absolute last resort for reading
strings from a column with varied or corrupted encodings,
which only applies to databases that accept invalid encodings
in the first place (i.e. MySQL. *not* PG, Sqlite, etc.)
- Added math negation operator support, -x.
- FunctionElement subclasses are now directly executable the
same way any func.foo() construct is, with automatic
SELECT being applied when passed to execute().
- The "type" and "bind" keyword arguments of a func.foo()
construct are now local to "func." constructs and are
not part of the FunctionElement base class, allowing
a "type" to be handled in a custom constructor or
class-level variable.
- Restored the keys() method to ResultProxy.
- The type/expression system now does a more complete job
of determining the return type from an expression
as well as the adaptation of the Python operator into
a SQL operator, based on the full left/right/operator
of the given expression. In particular
the date/time/interval system created for Postgresql
EXTRACT in [ticket:1647] has now been generalized into
the type system. The previous behavior which often
occured of an expression "column + literal" forcing
the type of "literal" to be the same as that of "column"
will now usually not occur - the type of
"literal" is first derived from the Python type of the
literal, assuming standard native Python types + date
types, before falling back to that of the known type
on the other side of the expression. If the
"fallback" type is compatible (i.e. CHAR from String),
the literal side will use that. TypeDecorator
types override this by default to coerce the "literal"
side unconditionally, which can be changed by implementing
the coerce_compared_value() method. Also part of
[ticket:1683].
- Made sqlalchemy.sql.expressions.Executable part of public
API, used for any expression construct that can be sent to
execute(). FunctionElement now inherits Executable so that
it gains execution_options(), which are also propagated
to the select() that's generated within execute().
Executable in turn subclasses _Generative which marks
any ClauseElement that supports the @_generative
decorator - these may also become "public" for the benefit
of the compiler extension at some point.
- A change to the solution for [ticket:1579] - an end-user
defined bind parameter name that directly conflicts with
a column-named bind generated directly from the SET or
VALUES clause of an update/insert generates a compile error.
This reduces call counts and eliminates some cases where
undesirable name conflicts could still occur.
- Column() requires a type if it has no foreign keys (this is
not new). An error is now raised if a Column() has no type
and no foreign keys. [ticket:1705]
- the "scale" argument of the Numeric() type is honored when
coercing a returned floating point value into a string
on its way to Decimal - this allows accuracy to function
on SQLite, MySQL. [ticket:1717]
- the copy() method of Column now copies over uninitialized
"on table attach" events. Helps with the new declarative
"mixin" capability.
- engines
- Added an optional C extension to speed up the sql layer by
reimplementing RowProxy and the most common result processors.
The actual speedups will depend heavily on your DBAPI and
the mix of datatypes used in your tables, and can vary from
a 30% improvement to more than 200%. It also provides a modest
(~15-20%) indirect improvement to ORM speed for large queries.
Note that it is *not* built/installed by default.
See README for installation instructions.
- the execution sequence pulls all rowcount/last inserted ID
info from the cursor before commit() is called on the
DBAPI connection in an "autocommit" scenario. This helps
mxodbc with rowcount and is probably a good idea overall.
- Opened up logging a bit such that isEnabledFor() is called
more often, so that changes to the log level for engine/pool
will be reflected on next connect. This adds a small
amount of method call overhead. It's negligible and will make
life a lot easier for all those situations when logging
just happens to be configured after create_engine() is called.
[ticket:1719]
- The assert_unicode flag is deprecated. SQLAlchemy will raise
a warning in all cases where it is asked to encode a non-unicode
Python string, as well as when a Unicode or UnicodeType type
is explicitly passed a bytestring. The String type will do nothing
for DBAPIs that already accept Python unicode objects.
- Bind parameters are sent as a tuple instead of a list. Some
backend drivers will not accept bind parameters as a list.
- threadlocal engine wasn't properly closing the connection
upon close() - fixed that.
- Transaction object doesn't rollback or commit if it isn't
"active", allows more accurate nesting of begin/rollback/commit.
- Python unicode objects as binds result in the Unicode type,
not string, thus eliminating a certain class of unicode errors
on drivers that don't support unicode binds.
- Added "logging_name" argument to create_engine(), Pool() constructor
as well as "pool_logging_name" argument to create_engine() which
filters down to that of Pool. Issues the given string name
within the "name" field of logging messages instead of the default
hex identifier string. [ticket:1555]
- The visit_pool() method of Dialect is removed, and replaced with
on_connect(). This method returns a callable which receives
the raw DBAPI connection after each one is created. The callable
is assembled into a first_connect/connect pool listener by the
connection strategy if non-None. Provides a simpler interface
for dialects.
- StaticPool now initializes, disposes and recreates without
opening a new connection - the connection is only opened when
first requested. dispose() also works on AssertionPool now.
[ticket:1728]
- metadata
- Added the ability to strip schema information when using
"tometadata" by passing "schema=None" as an argument. If schema
is not specified then the table's schema is retained.
[ticket: 1673]
- declarative
- DeclarativeMeta exclusively uses cls.__dict__ (not dict_)
as the source of class information; _as_declarative exclusively
uses the dict_ passed to it as the source of class information
(which when using DeclarativeMeta is cls.__dict__). This should
in theory make it easier for custom metaclasses to modify
the state passed into _as_declarative.
- declarative now accepts mixin classes directly, as a means
to provide common functional and column-based elements on
all subclasses, as well as a means to propagate a fixed
set of __table_args__ or __mapper_args__ to subclasses.
For custom combinations of __table_args__/__mapper_args__ from
an inherited mixin to local, descriptors can now be used.
New details are all up in the Declarative documentation.
Thanks to Chris Withers for putting up with my strife
on this. [ticket:1707]
- the __mapper_args__ dict is copied when propagating to a subclass,
and is taken straight off the class __dict__ to avoid any
propagation from the parent. mapper inheritance already
propagates the things you want from the parent mapper.
[ticket:1393]
- An exception is raised when a single-table subclass specifies
a column that is already present on the base class.
[ticket:1732]
- mysql
- Fixed reflection bug whereby when COLLATE was present,
nullable flag and server defaults would not be reflected.
[ticket:1655]
- Fixed reflection of TINYINT(1) "boolean" columns defined with
integer flags like UNSIGNED.
- Further fixes for the mysql-connector dialect. [ticket:1668]
- Composite PK table on InnoDB where the "autoincrement" column
isn't first will emit an explicit "KEY" phrase within
CREATE TABLE thereby avoiding errors, [ticket:1496]
- Added reflection/create table support for a wide range
of MySQL keywords. [ticket:1634]
- Fixed import error which could occur reflecting tables on
a Windows host [ticket:1580]
- mssql
- Re-established support for the pymssql dialect.
- Various fixes for implicit returning, reflection,
etc. - the MS-SQL dialects aren't quite complete
in 0.6 yet (but are close)
- Added basic support for mxODBC [ticket:1710].
- Removed the text_as_varchar option.
- oracle
- "out" parameters require a type that is supported by
cx_oracle. An error will be raised if no cx_oracle
type can be found.
- Oracle 'DATE' now does not perform any result processing,
as the DATE type in Oracle stores full date+time objects,
that's what you'll get. Note that the generic types.Date
type *will* still call value.date() on incoming values,
however. When reflecting a table, the reflected type
will be 'DATE'.
- Added preliminary support for Oracle's WITH_UNICODE
mode. At the very least this establishes initial
support for cx_Oracle with Python 3. When WITH_UNICODE
mode is used in Python 2.xx, a large and scary warning
is emitted asking that the user seriously consider
the usage of this difficult mode of operation.
[ticket:1670]
- The except_() method now renders as MINUS on Oracle,
which is more or less equivalent on that platform.
[ticket:1712]
- Added support for rendering and reflecting
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, i.e. TIMESTAMP(timezone=True).
[ticket:651]
- Oracle INTERVAL type can now be reflected.
- sqlite
- Added "native_datetime=True" flag to create_engine().
This will cause the DATE and TIMESTAMP types to skip
all bind parameter and result row processing, under
the assumption that PARSE_DECLTYPES has been enabled
on the connection. Note that this is not entirely
compatible with the "func.current_date()", which
will be returned as a string. [ticket:1685]
- sybase
- Implemented a preliminary working dialect for Sybase,
with sub-implementations for Python-Sybase as well
as Pyodbc. Handles table
creates/drops and basic round trip functionality.
Does not yet include reflection or comprehensive
support of unicode/special expressions/etc.
- examples
- Changed the beaker cache example a bit to have a separate
RelationCache option for lazyload caching. This object
does a lookup among any number of potential attributes
more efficiently by grouping several into a common structure.
Both FromCache and RelationCache are simpler individually.
- documentation
- Major cleanup work in the docs to link class, function, and
method names into the API docs. [ticket:1700/1702/1703]
0.6beta1
========
- Major Release
- For the full set of feature descriptions, see
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/06Migration .
This document is a work in progress.
- All bug fixes and feature enhancements from the most
recent 0.5 version and below are also included within 0.6.
- Platforms targeted now include Python 2.4/2.5/2.6, Python
3.1, Jython2.5.
- orm
- Changes to query.update() and query.delete():
- the 'expire' option on query.update() has been renamed to
'fetch', thus matching that of query.delete().
'expire' is deprecated and issues a warning.
- query.update() and query.delete() both default to
'evaluate' for the synchronize strategy.
- the 'synchronize' strategy for update() and delete()
raises an error on failure. There is no implicit fallback
onto "fetch". Failure of evaluation is based on the
structure of criteria, so success/failure is deterministic
based on code structure.
- Enhancements on many-to-one relations:
- many-to-one relations now fire off a lazyload in fewer
cases, including in most cases will not fetch the "old"
value when a new one is replaced.
- many-to-one relation to a joined-table subclass now uses
get() for a simple load (known as the "use_get"
condition), i.e. Related->Sub(Base), without the need to
redefine the primaryjoin condition in terms of the base
table. [ticket:1186]
- specifying a foreign key with a declarative column, i.e.
ForeignKey(MyRelatedClass.id) doesn't break the "use_get"
condition from taking place [ticket:1492]
- relation(), eagerload(), and eagerload_all() now feature
an option called "innerjoin". Specify `True` or `False` to
control whether an eager join is constructed as an INNER
or OUTER join. Default is `False` as always. The mapper
options will override whichever setting is specified on
relation(). Should generally be set for many-to-one, not
nullable foreign key relations to allow improved join
performance. [ticket:1544]
- the behavior of eagerloading such that the main query is
wrapped in a subquery when LIMIT/OFFSET are present now
makes an exception for the case when all eager loads are
many-to-one joins. In those cases, the eager joins are
against the parent table directly along with the
limit/offset without the extra overhead of a subquery,
since a many-to-one join does not add rows to the result.
- Enhancements / Changes on Session.merge():
- the "dont_load=True" flag on Session.merge() is deprecated
and is now "load=False".
- Session.merge() is performance optimized, using half the
call counts for "load=False" mode compared to 0.5 and
significantly fewer SQL queries in the case of collections
for "load=True" mode.
- merge() will not issue a needless merge of attributes if the
given instance is the same instance which is already present.
- merge() now also merges the "options" associated with a given
state, i.e. those passed through query.options() which follow
along with an instance, such as options to eagerly- or
lazyily- load various attributes. This is essential for
the construction of highly integrated caching schemes. This
is a subtle behavioral change vs. 0.5.
- A bug was fixed regarding the serialization of the "loader
path" present on an instance's state, which is also necessary
when combining the usage of merge() with serialized state
and associated options that should be preserved.
- The all new merge() is showcased in a new comprehensive
example of how to integrate Beaker with SQLAlchemy. See
the notes in the "examples" note below.
- Primary key values can now be changed on a joined-table inheritance
object, and ON UPDATE CASCADE will be taken into account when
the flush happens. Set the new "passive_updates" flag to False
on mapper() when using SQLite or MySQL/MyISAM. [ticket:1362]
- flush() now detects when a primary key column was updated by
an ON UPDATE CASCADE operation from another primary key, and
can then locate the row for a subsequent UPDATE on the new PK
value. This occurs when a relation() is there to establish
the relationship as well as passive_updates=True. [ticket:1671]
- the "save-update" cascade will now cascade the pending *removed*
values from a scalar or collection attribute into the new session
during an add() operation. This so that the flush() operation
will also delete or modify rows of those disconnected items.
- Using a "dynamic" loader with a "secondary" table now produces
a query where the "secondary" table is *not* aliased. This
allows the secondary Table object to be used in the "order_by"
attribute of the relation(), and also allows it to be used
in filter criterion against the dynamic relation.
[ticket:1531]
- relation() with uselist=False will emit a warning when
an eager or lazy load locates more than one valid value for
the row. This may be due to primaryjoin/secondaryjoin
conditions which aren't appropriate for an eager LEFT OUTER
JOIN or for other conditions. [ticket:1643]
- an explicit check occurs when a synonym() is used with
map_column=True, when a ColumnProperty (deferred or otherwise)
exists separately in the properties dictionary sent to mapper
with the same keyname. Instead of silently replacing
the existing property (and possible options on that property),
an error is raised. [ticket:1633]
- a "dynamic" loader sets up its query criterion at construction
time so that the actual query is returned from non-cloning
accessors like "statement".
- the "named tuple" objects returned when iterating a
Query() are now pickleable.
- mapping to a select() construct now requires that you
make an alias() out of it distinctly. This to eliminate
confusion over such issues as [ticket:1542]
- query.join() has been reworked to provide more consistent
behavior and more flexibility (includes [ticket:1537])
- query.select_from() accepts multiple clauses to produce
multiple comma separated entries within the FROM clause.
Useful when selecting from multiple-homed join() clauses.
- query.select_from() also accepts mapped classes, aliased()
constructs, and mappers as arguments. In particular this
helps when querying from multiple joined-table classes to ensure
the full join gets rendered.
- query.get() can be used with a mapping to an outer join
where one or more of the primary key values are None.
[ticket:1135]
- query.from_self(), query.union(), others which do a
"SELECT * from (SELECT...)" type of nesting will do
a better job translating column expressions within the subquery
to the columns clause of the outer query. This is
potentially backwards incompatible with 0.5, in that this
may break queries with literal expressions that do not have labels
applied (i.e. literal('foo'), etc.)
[ticket:1568]
- relation primaryjoin and secondaryjoin now check that they
are column-expressions, not just clause elements. this prohibits
things like FROM expressions being placed there directly.
[ticket:1622]
- `expression.null()` is fully understood the same way
None is when comparing an object/collection-referencing
attribute within query.filter(), filter_by(), etc.
[ticket:1415]
- added "make_transient()" helper function which transforms a
persistent/ detached instance into a transient one (i.e.
deletes the instance_key and removes from any session.)
[ticket:1052]
- the allow_null_pks flag on mapper() is deprecated, and
the feature is turned "on" by default. This means that
a row which has a non-null value for any of its primary key
columns will be considered an identity. The need for this
scenario typically only occurs when mapping to an outer join.
[ticket:1339]
- the mechanics of "backref" have been fully merged into the
finer grained "back_populates" system, and take place entirely
within the _generate_backref() method of RelationProperty. This
makes the initialization procedure of RelationProperty
simpler and allows easier propagation of settings (such as from
subclasses of RelationProperty) into the reverse reference.
The internal BackRef() is gone and backref() returns a plain
tuple that is understood by RelationProperty.
- The version_id_col feature on mapper() will raise a warning when
used with dialects that don't support "rowcount" adequately.
[ticket:1569]
- added "execution_options()" to Query, to so options can be
passed to the resulting statement. Currently only
Select-statements have these options, and the only option
used is "stream_results", and the only dialect which knows
"stream_results" is psycopg2.
- Query.yield_per() will set the "stream_results" statement
option automatically.
- Deprecated or removed:
* 'allow_null_pks' flag on mapper() is deprecated. It does
nothing now and the setting is "on" in all cases.
* 'transactional' flag on sessionmaker() and others is
removed. Use 'autocommit=True' to indicate 'transactional=False'.
* 'polymorphic_fetch' argument on mapper() is removed.
Loading can be controlled using the 'with_polymorphic'
option.
* 'select_table' argument on mapper() is removed. Use
'with_polymorphic=("*", <some selectable>)' for this
functionality.
* 'proxy' argument on synonym() is removed. This flag
did nothing throughout 0.5, as the "proxy generation"
behavior is now automatic.
* Passing a single list of elements to eagerload(),
eagerload_all(), contains_eager(), lazyload(),
defer(), and undefer() instead of multiple positional
*args is deprecated.
* Passing a single list of elements to query.order_by(),
query.group_by(), query.join(), or query.outerjoin()
instead of multiple positional *args is deprecated.
* query.iterate_instances() is removed. Use query.instances().
* Query.query_from_parent() is removed. Use the
sqlalchemy.orm.with_parent() function to produce a
"parent" clause, or alternatively query.with_parent().
* query._from_self() is removed, use query.from_self()
instead.
* the "comparator" argument to composite() is removed.
Use "comparator_factory".
* RelationProperty._get_join() is removed.
* the 'echo_uow' flag on Session is removed. Use
logging on the "sqlalchemy.orm.unitofwork" name.
* session.clear() is removed. use session.expunge_all().
* session.save(), session.update(), session.save_or_update()
are removed. Use session.add() and session.add_all().
* the "objects" flag on session.flush() remains deprecated.
* the "dont_load=True" flag on session.merge() is deprecated
in favor of "load=False".
* ScopedSession.mapper remains deprecated. See the
usage recipe at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/SessionAwareMapper
* passing an InstanceState (internal SQLAlchemy state object) to
attributes.init_collection() or attributes.get_history() is
deprecated. These functions are public API and normally
expect a regular mapped object instance.
* the 'engine' parameter to declarative_base() is removed.
Use the 'bind' keyword argument.
- sql
- the "autocommit" flag on select() and text() as well
as select().autocommit() are deprecated - now call
.execution_options(autocommit=True) on either of those
constructs, also available directly on Connection and orm.Query.
- the autoincrement flag on column now indicates the column
which should be linked to cursor.lastrowid, if that method
is used. See the API docs for details.
- an executemany() now requires that all bound parameter
sets require that all keys are present which are
present in the first bound parameter set. The structure
and behavior of an insert/update statement is very much
determined by the first parameter set, including which
defaults are going to fire off, and a minimum of
guesswork is performed with all the rest so that performance
is not impacted. For this reason defaults would otherwise
silently "fail" for missing parameters, so this is now guarded
against. [ticket:1566]
- returning() support is native to insert(), update(),
delete(). Implementations of varying levels of
functionality exist for Postgresql, Firebird, MSSQL and
Oracle. returning() can be called explicitly with column
expressions which are then returned in the resultset,
usually via fetchone() or first().
insert() constructs will also use RETURNING implicitly to
get newly generated primary key values, if the database
version in use supports it (a version number check is
performed). This occurs if no end-user returning() was
specified.
- union(), intersect(), except() and other "compound" types
of statements have more consistent behavior w.r.t.
parenthesizing. Each compound element embedded within
another will now be grouped with parenthesis - previously,
the first compound element in the list would not be grouped,
as SQLite doesn't like a statement to start with
parenthesis. However, Postgresql in particular has
precedence rules regarding INTERSECT, and it is
more consistent for parenthesis to be applied equally
to all sub-elements. So now, the workaround for SQLite
is also what the workaround for PG was previously -
when nesting compound elements, the first one usually needs
".alias().select()" called on it to wrap it inside
of a subquery. [ticket:1665]
- insert() and update() constructs can now embed bindparam()
objects using names that match the keys of columns. These
bind parameters will circumvent the usual route to those
keys showing up in the VALUES or SET clause of the generated
SQL. [ticket:1579]
- the Binary type now returns data as a Python string
(or a "bytes" type in Python 3), instead of the built-
in "buffer" type. This allows symmetric round trips
of binary data. [ticket:1524]
- Added a tuple_() construct, allows sets of expressions
to be compared to another set, typically with IN against
composite primary keys or similar. Also accepts an
IN with multiple columns. The "scalar select can
have only one column" error message is removed - will
rely upon the database to report problems with
col mismatch.
- User-defined "default" and "onupdate" callables which
accept a context should now call upon
"context.current_parameters" to get at the dictionary
of bind parameters currently being processed. This
dict is available in the same way regardless of
single-execute or executemany-style statement execution.
- multi-part schema names, i.e. with dots such as
"dbo.master", are now rendered in select() labels
with underscores for dots, i.e. "dbo_master_table_column".
This is a "friendly" label that behaves better
in result sets. [ticket:1428]
- removed needless "counter" behavior with select()
labelnames that match a column name in the table,
i.e. generates "tablename_id" for "id", instead of
"tablename_id_1" in an attempt to avoid naming
conflicts, when the table has a column actually
named "tablename_id" - this is because
the labeling logic is always applied to all columns
so a naming conflict will never occur.
- calling expr.in_([]), i.e. with an empty list, emits a warning
before issuing the usual "expr != expr" clause. The
"expr != expr" can be very expensive, and it's preferred
that the user not issue in_() if the list is empty,
instead simply not querying, or modifying the criterion
as appropriate for more complex situations.
[ticket:1628]
- Added "execution_options()" to select()/text(), which set the
default options for the Connection. See the note in "engines".
- Deprecated or removed:
* "scalar" flag on select() is removed, use
select.as_scalar().
* "shortname" attribute on bindparam() is removed.
* postgres_returning, firebird_returning flags on
insert(), update(), delete() are deprecated, use
the new returning() method.
* fold_equivalents flag on join is deprecated (will remain
until [ticket:1131] is implemented)
- engines
- transaction isolation level may be specified with
create_engine(... isolation_level="..."); available on
postgresql and sqlite. [ticket:443]
- Connection has execution_options(), generative method
which accepts keywords that affect how the statement
is executed w.r.t. the DBAPI. Currently supports
"stream_results", causes psycopg2 to use a server
side cursor for that statement, as well as
"autocommit", which is the new location for the "autocommit"
option from select() and text(). select() and
text() also have .execution_options() as well as
ORM Query().
- fixed the import for entrypoint-driven dialects to
not rely upon silly tb_info trick to determine import
error status. [ticket:1630]
- added first() method to ResultProxy, returns first row and
closes result set immediately.
- RowProxy objects are now pickleable, i.e. the object returned
by result.fetchone(), result.fetchall() etc.
- RowProxy no longer has a close() method, as the row no longer
maintains a reference to the parent. Call close() on
the parent ResultProxy instead, or use autoclose.
- ResultProxy internals have been overhauled to greatly reduce
method call counts when fetching columns. Can provide a large
speed improvement (up to more than 100%) when fetching large
result sets. The improvement is larger when fetching columns
that have no type-level processing applied and when using
results as tuples (instead of as dictionaries). Many
thanks to Elixir's Gaëtan de Menten for this dramatic
improvement ! [ticket:1586]
- Databases which rely upon postfetch of "last inserted id"
to get at a generated sequence value (i.e. MySQL, MS-SQL)
now work correctly when there is a composite primary key
where the "autoincrement" column is not the first primary
key column in the table.
- the last_inserted_ids() method has been renamed to the
descriptor "inserted_primary_key".
- setting echo=False on create_engine() now sets the loglevel
to WARN instead of NOTSET. This so that logging can be
disabled for a particular engine even if logging
for "sqlalchemy.engine" is enabled overall. Note that the
default setting of "echo" is `None`. [ticket:1554]
- ConnectionProxy now has wrapper methods for all transaction
lifecycle events, including begin(), rollback(), commit()
begin_nested(), begin_prepared(), prepare(), release_savepoint(),
etc.
- Connection pool logging now uses both INFO and DEBUG
log levels for logging. INFO is for major events such
as invalidated connections, DEBUG for all the acquire/return
logging. `echo_pool` can be False, None, True or "debug"
the same way as `echo` works.
- All pyodbc-dialects now support extra pyodbc-specific
kw arguments 'ansi', 'unicode_results', 'autocommit'.
[ticket:1621]
- the "threadlocal" engine has been rewritten and simplified
and now supports SAVEPOINT operations.
- deprecated or removed
* result.last_inserted_ids() is deprecated. Use
result.inserted_primary_key
* dialect.get_default_schema_name(connection) is now
public via dialect.default_schema_name.
* the "connection" argument from engine.transaction() and
engine.run_callable() is removed - Connection itself
now has those methods. All four methods accept
*args and **kwargs which are passed to the given callable,
as well as the operating connection.
- schema
- the `__contains__()` method of `MetaData` now accepts
strings or `Table` objects as arguments. If given
a `Table`, the argument is converted to `table.key` first,
i.e. "[schemaname.]<tablename>" [ticket:1541]
- deprecated MetaData.connect() and
ThreadLocalMetaData.connect() have been removed - send
the "bind" attribute to bind a metadata.
- deprecated metadata.table_iterator() method removed (use
sorted_tables)
- deprecated PassiveDefault - use DefaultClause.
- the "metadata" argument is removed from DefaultGenerator
and subclasses, but remains locally present on Sequence,
which is a standalone construct in DDL.
- Removed public mutability from Index and Constraint
objects:
- ForeignKeyConstraint.append_element()
- Index.append_column()
- UniqueConstraint.append_column()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.add()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.remove()
These should be constructed declaratively (i.e. in one
construction).
- The "start" and "increment" attributes on Sequence now
generate "START WITH" and "INCREMENT BY" by default,
on Oracle and Postgresql. Firebird doesn't support
these keywords right now. [ticket:1545]
- UniqueConstraint, Index, PrimaryKeyConstraint all accept
lists of column names or column objects as arguments.
- Other removed things:
- Table.key (no idea what this was for)
- Table.primary_key is not assignable - use
table.append_constraint(PrimaryKeyConstraint(...))
- Column.bind (get via column.table.bind)
- Column.metadata (get via column.table.metadata)
- Column.sequence (use column.default)
- ForeignKey(constraint=some_parent) (is now private _constraint)
- The use_alter flag on ForeignKey is now a shortcut option
for operations that can be hand-constructed using the
DDL() event system. A side effect of this refactor is
that ForeignKeyConstraint objects with use_alter=True
will *not* be emitted on SQLite, which does not support
ALTER for foreign keys.
- ForeignKey and ForeignKeyConstraint objects now correctly
copy() all their public keyword arguments. [ticket:1605]
- Reflection/Inspection
- Table reflection has been expanded and generalized into
a new API called "sqlalchemy.engine.reflection.Inspector".
The Inspector object provides fine-grained information about
a wide variety of schema information, with room for expansion,
including table names, column names, view definitions, sequences,
indexes, etc.
- Views are now reflectable as ordinary Table objects. The same
Table constructor is used, with the caveat that "effective"
primary and foreign key constraints aren't part of the reflection
results; these have to be specified explicitly if desired.
- The existing autoload=True system now uses Inspector underneath
so that each dialect need only return "raw" data about tables
and other objects - Inspector is the single place that information
is compiled into Table objects so that consistency is at a maximum.
- DDL
- the DDL system has been greatly expanded. the DDL() class
now extends the more generic DDLElement(), which forms the basis
of many new constructs:
- CreateTable()
- DropTable()
- AddConstraint()
- DropConstraint()
- CreateIndex()
- DropIndex()
- CreateSequence()
- DropSequence()
These support "on" and "execute-at()" just like plain DDL()
does. User-defined DDLElement subclasses can be created and
linked to a compiler using the sqlalchemy.ext.compiler extension.
- The signature of the "on" callable passed to DDL() and
DDLElement() is revised as follows:
"ddl" - the DDLElement object itself.
"event" - the string event name.
"target" - previously "schema_item", the Table or
MetaData object triggering the event.
"connection" - the Connection object in use for the operation.
**kw - keyword arguments. In the case of MetaData before/after
create/drop, the list of Table objects for which
CREATE/DROP DDL is to be issued is passed as the kw
argument "tables". This is necessary for metadata-level
DDL that is dependent on the presence of specific tables.
- the "schema_item" attribute of DDL has been renamed to
"target".
- dialect refactor
- Dialect modules are now broken into database dialects
plus DBAPI implementations. Connect URLs are now
preferred to be specified using dialect+driver://...,
i.e. "mysql+mysqldb://scott:tiger@localhost/test". See
the 0.6 documentation for examples.
- the setuptools entrypoint for external dialects is now
called "sqlalchemy.dialects".
- the "owner" keyword argument is removed from Table. Use
"schema" to represent any namespaces to be prepended to
the table name.
- server_version_info becomes a static attribute.
- dialects receive an initialize() event on initial
connection to determine connection properties.
- dialects receive a visit_pool event have an opportunity
to establish pool listeners.
- cached TypeEngine classes are cached per-dialect class
instead of per-dialect.
- new UserDefinedType should be used as a base class for
new types, which preserves the 0.5 behavior of
get_col_spec().
- The result_processor() method of all type classes now
accepts a second argument "coltype", which is the DBAPI
type argument from cursor.description. This argument
can help some types decide on the most efficient processing
of result values.
- Deprecated Dialect.get_params() removed.
- Dialect.get_rowcount() has been renamed to a descriptor
"rowcount", and calls cursor.rowcount directly. Dialects
which need to hardwire a rowcount in for certain calls
should override the method to provide different behavior.
- DefaultRunner and subclasses have been removed. The job
of this object has been simplified and moved into
ExecutionContext. Dialects which support sequences should
add a `fire_sequence()` method to their execution context
implementation. [ticket:1566]
- Functions and operators generated by the compiler now use
(almost) regular dispatch functions of the form
"visit_<opname>" and "visit_<funcname>_fn" to provide
customed processing. This replaces the need to copy the
"functions" and "operators" dictionaries in compiler
subclasses with straightforward visitor methods, and also
allows compiler subclasses complete control over
rendering, as the full _Function or _BinaryExpression
object is passed in.
- postgresql
- New dialects: pg8000, zxjdbc, and pypostgresql
on py3k.
- The "postgres" dialect is now named "postgresql" !
Connection strings look like:
postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test
postgresql+pg8000://scott:tiger@localhost/test
The "postgres" name remains for backwards compatiblity
in the following ways:
- There is a "postgres.py" dummy dialect which
allows old URLs to work, i.e.
postgres://scott:tiger@localhost/test
- The "postgres" name can be imported from the old
"databases" module, i.e. "from
sqlalchemy.databases import postgres" as well as
"dialects", "from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgres
import base as pg", will send a deprecation
warning.
- Special expression arguments are now named
"postgresql_returning" and "postgresql_where", but
the older "postgres_returning" and
"postgres_where" names still work with a
deprecation warning.
- "postgresql_where" now accepts SQL expressions which
can also include literals, which will be quoted as needed.
- The psycopg2 dialect now uses psycopg2's "unicode extension"
on all new connections, which allows all String/Text/etc.
types to skip the need to post-process bytestrings into
unicode (an expensive step due to its volume). Other
dialects which return unicode natively (pg8000, zxjdbc)
also skip unicode post-processing.
- Added new ENUM type, which exists as a schema-level
construct and extends the generic Enum type. Automatically
associates itself with tables and their parent metadata
to issue the appropriate CREATE TYPE/DROP TYPE
commands as needed, supports unicode labels, supports
reflection. [ticket:1511]
- INTERVAL supports an optional "precision" argument
corresponding to the argument that PG accepts.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
psycopg2 can't handle a bind parameter name of
%(foobar)s however and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead
just to treat that one non-existent use case.
[ticket:1279]
- Inserting NULL into a primary key + foreign key column
will allow the "not null constraint" error to raise,
not an attempt to execute a nonexistent "col_id_seq"
sequence. [ticket:1516]
- autoincrement SELECT statements, i.e. those which
select from a procedure that modifies rows, now work
with server-side cursor mode (the named cursor isn't
used for such statements.)
- postgresql dialect can properly detect pg "devel" version
strings, i.e. "8.5devel" [ticket:1636]
- The psycopg2 now respects the statement option
"stream_results". This option overrides the connection setting
"server_side_cursors". If true, server side cursors will be
used for the statement. If false, they will not be used, even
if "server_side_cursors" is true on the
connection. [ticket:1619]
- mysql
- New dialects: oursql, a new native dialect,
MySQL Connector/Python, a native Python port of MySQLdb,
and of course zxjdbc on Jython.
- VARCHAR/NVARCHAR will not render without a length, raises
an error before passing to MySQL. Doesn't impact
CAST since VARCHAR is not allowed in MySQL CAST anyway,
the dialect renders CHAR/NCHAR in those cases.
- all the _detect_XXX() functions now run once underneath
dialect.initialize()
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
MySQLdb can't handle % signs in SQL when executemany() is used,
and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead just to treat that one
non-existent use case. [ticket:1279]
- the BINARY and MSBinary types now generate "BINARY" in all
cases. Omitting the "length" parameter will generate
"BINARY" with no length. Use BLOB to generate an unlengthed
binary column.
- the "quoting='quoted'" argument to MSEnum/ENUM is deprecated.
It's best to rely upon the automatic quoting.
- ENUM now subclasses the new generic Enum type, and also handles
unicode values implicitly, if the given labelnames are unicode
objects.
- a column of type TIMESTAMP now defaults to NULL if
"nullable=False" is not passed to Column(), and no default
is present. This is now consistent with all other types,
and in the case of TIMESTAMP explictly renders "NULL"
due to MySQL's "switching" of default nullability
for TIMESTAMP columns. [ticket:1539]
- oracle
- unit tests pass 100% with cx_oracle !
- support for cx_Oracle's "native unicode" mode which does
not require NLS_LANG to be set. Use the latest 5.0.2 or
later of cx_oracle.
- an NCLOB type is added to the base types.
- use_ansi=False won't leak into the FROM/WHERE clause of
a statement that's selecting from a subquery that also
uses JOIN/OUTERJOIN.
- added native INTERVAL type to the dialect. This supports
only the DAY TO SECOND interval type so far due to lack
of support in cx_oracle for YEAR TO MONTH. [ticket:1467]
- usage of the CHAR type results in cx_oracle's
FIXED_CHAR dbapi type being bound to statements.
- the Oracle dialect now features NUMBER which intends
to act justlike Oracle's NUMBER type. It is the primary
numeric type returned by table reflection and attempts
to return Decimal()/float/int based on the precision/scale
parameters. [ticket:885]
- func.char_length is a generic function for LENGTH
- ForeignKey() which includes onupdate=<value> will emit a
warning, not emit ON UPDATE CASCADE which is unsupported
by oracle
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- using types.BigInteger with Oracle will generate
NUMBER(19) [ticket:1125]
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- firebird
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- mssql
- MSSQL + Pyodbc + FreeTDS now works for the most part,
with possible exceptions regarding binary data as well as
unicode schema identifiers.
- the "has_window_funcs" flag is removed. LIMIT/OFFSET
usage will use ROW NUMBER as always, and if on an older
version of SQL Server, the operation fails. The behavior
is exactly the same except the error is raised by SQL
server instead of the dialect, and no flag setting is
required to enable it.
- the "auto_identity_insert" flag is removed. This feature
always takes effect when an INSERT statement overrides a
column that is known to have a sequence on it. As with
"has_window_funcs", if the underlying driver doesn't
support this, then you can't do this operation in any
case, so there's no point in having a flag.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- removed references to sequence which is no longer used.
implicit identities in mssql work the same as implicit
sequences on any other dialects. Explicit sequences are
enabled through the use of "default=Sequence()". See
the MSSQL dialect documentation for more information.
- sqlite
- DATE, TIME and DATETIME types can now take optional storage_format
and regexp argument. storage_format can be used to store those types
using a custom string format. regexp allows to use a custom regular
expression to match string values from the database.
- Time and DateTime types now use by a default a stricter regular
expression to match strings from the database. Use the regexp
argument if you are using data stored in a legacy format.
- __legacy_microseconds__ on SQLite Time and DateTime types is not
supported anymore. You should use the storage_format argument
instead.
- Date, Time and DateTime types are now stricter in what they accept as
bind parameters: Date type only accepts date objects (and datetime
ones, because they inherit from date), Time only accepts time
objects, and DateTime only accepts date and datetime objects.
- Table() supports a keyword argument "sqlite_autoincrement", which
applies the SQLite keyword "AUTOINCREMENT" to the single integer
primary key column when generating DDL. Will prevent generation of
a separate PRIMARY KEY constraint. [ticket:1016]
- new dialects
- postgresql+pg8000
- postgresql+pypostgresql (partial)
- postgresql+zxjdbc
- mysql+pyodbc
- mysql+zxjdbc
- types
- The construction of types within dialects has been totally
overhauled. Dialects now define publically available types
as UPPERCASE names exclusively, and internal implementation
types using underscore identifiers (i.e. are private).
The system by which types are expressed in SQL and DDL
has been moved to the compiler system. This has the
effect that there are much fewer type objects within
most dialects. A detailed document on this architecture
for dialect authors is in
lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/type_migration_guidelines.txt .
- Types no longer make any guesses as to default
parameters. In particular, Numeric, Float, NUMERIC,
FLOAT, DECIMAL don't generate any length or scale unless
specified.
- types.Binary is renamed to types.LargeBinary, it only
produces BLOB, BYTEA, or a similar "long binary" type.
New base BINARY and VARBINARY
types have been added to access these MySQL/MS-SQL specific
types in an agnostic way [ticket:1664].
- String/Text/Unicode types now skip the unicode() check
on each result column value if the dialect has
detected the DBAPI as returning Python unicode objects
natively. This check is issued on first connect
using "SELECT CAST 'some text' AS VARCHAR(10)" or
equivalent, then checking if the returned object
is a Python unicode. This allows vast performance
increases for native-unicode DBAPIs, including
pysqlite/sqlite3, psycopg2, and pg8000.
- Most types result processors have been checked for possible speed
improvements. Specifically, the following generic types have been
optimized, resulting in varying speed improvements:
Unicode, PickleType, Interval, TypeDecorator, Binary.
Also the following dbapi-specific implementations have been improved:
Time, Date and DateTime on Sqlite, ARRAY on Postgresql,
Time on MySQL, Numeric(as_decimal=False) on MySQL, oursql and
pypostgresql, DateTime on cx_oracle and LOB-based types on cx_oracle.
- Reflection of types now returns the exact UPPERCASE
type within types.py, or the UPPERCASE type within
the dialect itself if the type is not a standard SQL
type. This means reflection now returns more accurate
information about reflected types.
- Added a new Enum generic type. Enum is a schema-aware object
to support databases which require specific DDL in order to
use enum or equivalent; in the case of PG it handles the
details of `CREATE TYPE`, and on other databases without
native enum support will by generate VARCHAR + an inline CHECK
constraint to enforce the enum.
[ticket:1109] [ticket:1511]
- The Interval type includes a "native" flag which controls
if native INTERVAL types (postgresql + oracle) are selected
if available, or not. "day_precision" and "second_precision"
arguments are also added which propagate as appropriately
to these native types. Related to [ticket:1467].
- The Boolean type, when used on a backend that doesn't
have native boolean support, will generate a CHECK
constraint "col IN (0, 1)" along with the int/smallint-
based column type. This can be switched off if
desired with create_constraint=False.
Note that MySQL has no native boolean *or* CHECK constraint
support so this feature isn't available on that platform.
[ticket:1589]
- PickleType now uses == for comparison of values when
mutable=True, unless the "comparator" argument with a
comparsion function is specified to the type. Objects
being pickled will be compared based on identity (which
defeats the purpose of mutable=True) if __eq__() is not
overridden or a comparison function is not provided.
- The default "precision" and "scale" arguments of Numeric
and Float have been removed and now default to None.
NUMERIC and FLOAT will be rendered with no numeric
arguments by default unless these values are provided.
- AbstractType.get_search_list() is removed - the games
that was used for are no longer necessary.
- Added a generic BigInteger type, compiles to
BIGINT or NUMBER(19). [ticket:1125]
-ext
- sqlsoup has been overhauled to explicitly support an 0.5 style
session, using autocommit=False, autoflush=True. Default
behavior of SQLSoup now requires the usual usage of commit()
and rollback(), which have been added to its interface. An
explcit Session or scoped_session can be passed to the
constructor, allowing these arguments to be overridden.
- sqlsoup db.<sometable>.update() and delete() now call
query(cls).update() and delete(), respectively.
- sqlsoup now has execute() and connection(), which call upon
the Session methods of those names, ensuring that the bind is
in terms of the SqlSoup object's bind.
- sqlsoup objects no longer have the 'query' attribute - it's
not needed for sqlsoup's usage paradigm and it gets in the
way of a column that is actually named 'query'.
- The signature of the proxy_factory callable passed to
association_proxy is now (lazy_collection, creator,
value_attr, association_proxy), adding a fourth argument
that is the parent AssociationProxy argument. Allows
serializability and subclassing of the built in collections.
[ticket:1259]
- association_proxy now has basic comparator methods .any(),
.has(), .contains(), ==, !=, thanks to Scott Torborg.
[ticket:1372]
- examples
- The "query_cache" examples have been removed, and are replaced
with a fully comprehensive approach that combines the usage of
Beaker with SQLAlchemy. New query options are used to indicate
the caching characteristics of a particular Query, which
can also be invoked deep within an object graph when lazily
loading related objects. See /examples/beaker_caching/README.
0.5.9
=====
- sql
- Fixed erroneous self_group() call in expression package.
[ticket:1661]
0.5.8
=====
- sql
- The copy() method on Column now supports uninitialized,
unnamed Column objects. This allows easy creation of
declarative helpers which place common columns on multiple
subclasses.
- Default generators like Sequence() translate correctly
across a copy() operation.
- Sequence() and other DefaultGenerator objects are accepted
as the value for the "default" and "onupdate" keyword
arguments of Column, in addition to being accepted
positionally.
- Fixed a column arithmetic bug that affected column
correspondence for cloned selectables which contain
free-standing column expressions. This bug is
generally only noticeable when exercising newer
ORM behavior only availble in 0.6 via [ticket:1568],
but is more correct at the SQL expression level
as well. [ticket:1617]
- postgresql
- The extract() function, which was slightly improved in
0.5.7, needed a lot more work to generate the correct
typecast (the typecasts appear to be necessary in PG's
EXTRACT quite a lot of the time). The typecast is
now generated using a rule dictionary based
on PG's documentation for date/time/interval arithmetic.
It also accepts text() constructs again, which was broken
in 0.5.7. [ticket:1647]
- firebird
- Recognize more errors as disconnections. [ticket:1646]
0.5.7
=====
- orm
- contains_eager() now works with the automatically
generated subquery that results when you say
"query(Parent).join(Parent.somejoinedsubclass)", i.e.
when Parent joins to a joined-table-inheritance subclass.
Previously contains_eager() would erroneously add the
subclass table to the query separately producing a
cartesian product. An example is in the ticket
description. [ticket:1543]
- query.options() now only propagate to loaded objects
for potential further sub-loads only for options where
such behavior is relevant, keeping
various unserializable options like those generated
by contains_eager() out of individual instance states.
[ticket:1553]
- Session.execute() now locates table- and
mapper-specific binds based on a passed
in expression which is an insert()/update()/delete()
construct. [ticket:1054]
- Session.merge() now properly overwrites a many-to-one or
uselist=False attribute to None if the attribute
is also None in the given object to be merged.
- Fixed a needless select which would occur when merging
transient objects that contained a null primary key
identifier. [ticket:1618]
- Mutable collection passed to the "extension" attribute
of relation(), column_property() etc. will not be mutated
or shared among multiple instrumentation calls, preventing
duplicate extensions, such as backref populators,
from being inserted into the list.
[ticket:1585]
- Fixed the call to get_committed_value() on CompositeProperty.
[ticket:1504]
- Fixed bug where Query would crash if a join() with no clear
"left" side were called when a non-mapped column entity
appeared in the columns list. [ticket:1602]
- Fixed bug whereby composite columns wouldn't load properly
when configured on a joined-table subclass, introduced in
version 0.5.6 as a result of the fix for [ticket:1480].
[ticket:1616] thx to Scott Torborg.
- The "use get" behavior of many-to-one relations, i.e. that a
lazy load will fallback to the possibly cached query.get()
value, now works across join conditions where the two compared
types are not exactly the same class, but share the same
"affinity" - i.e. Integer and SmallInteger. Also allows
combinations of reflected and non-reflected types to work
with 0.5 style type reflection, such as PGText/Text (note 0.6
reflects types as their generic versions). [ticket:1556]
- Fixed bug in query.update() when passing Cls.attribute
as keys in the value dict and using synchronize_session='expire'
('fetch' in 0.6). [ticket:1436]
- sql
- Fixed bug in two-phase transaction whereby commit() method
didn't set the full state which allows subsequent close()
call to succeed. [ticket:1603]
- Fixed the "numeric" paramstyle, which apparently is the
default paramstyle used by Informixdb.
- Repeat expressions in the columns clause of a select
are deduped based on the identity of each clause element,
not the actual string. This allows positional
elements to render correctly even if they all render
identically, such as "qmark" style bind parameters.
[ticket:1574]
- The cursor associated with connection pool connections
(i.e. _CursorFairy) now proxies `__iter__()` to the
underlying cursor correctly. [ticket:1632]
- types now support an "affinity comparison" operation, i.e.
that an Integer/SmallInteger are "compatible", or
a Text/String, PickleType/Binary, etc. Part of
[ticket:1556].
- Fixed bug preventing alias() of an alias() from being
cloned or adapted (occurs frequently in ORM operations).
[ticket:1641]
- sqlite
- sqlite dialect properly generates CREATE INDEX for a table
that is in an alternate schema. [ticket:1439]
- postgresql
- Added support for reflecting the DOUBLE PRECISION type,
via a new postgres.PGDoublePrecision object.
This is postgresql.DOUBLE_PRECISION in 0.6.
[ticket:1085]
- Added support for reflecting the INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND syntaxes of the INTERVAL
type. [ticket:460]
- Corrected the "has_sequence" query to take current schema,
or explicit sequence-stated schema, into account.
[ticket:1576]
- Fixed the behavior of extract() to apply operator
precedence rules to the "::" operator when applying
the "timestamp" cast - ensures proper parenthesization.
[ticket:1611]
- mssql
- Changed the name of TrustedConnection to
Trusted_Connection when constructing pyodbc connect
arguments [ticket:1561]
- oracle
- The "table_names" dialect function, used by MetaData
.reflect(), omits "index overflow tables", a system
table generated by Oracle when "index only tables"
with overflow are used. These tables aren't accessible
via SQL and can't be reflected. [ticket:1637]
- ext
- A column can be added to a joined-table declarative
superclass after the class has been constructed
(i.e. via class-level attribute assignment), and
the column will be propagated down to
subclasses. [ticket:1570] This is the reverse
situation as that of [ticket:1523], fixed in 0.5.6.
- Fixed a slight inaccuracy in the sharding example.
Comparing equivalence of columns in the ORM is best
accomplished using col1.shares_lineage(col2).
[ticket:1491]
- Removed unused `load()` method from ShardedQuery.
[ticket:1606]

Update py-sqlalchemy to version 0.8.2.
Changes since 0.7.10:
- Compatibility for Python 2.4 is being dropped.
- The primaryjoin argument is no longer needed when constructing a
relationship() against a class that has multiple foreign key paths to the
target.
- Relationships against self-referential, composite foreign keys where a
column points to itself are now supported.
- Previously difficult custom join conditions, like those involving
functions and/or CASTing of types, will now function as expected in most
cases.
- New Class/Object Inspection System.
- A new enhancement to the aliased() construct has been added called
with_polymorphic() which allows any entity to be “aliased” into a
“polymorphic” version of itself, freely usable anywhere.
- The PropComparator.of_type() method can now be used to target any number
of target subtypes, by combining it with the new with_polymorphic()
function.
- Mapper and instance events can now be associated with an unmapped
superclass, where those events will be propagated to subclasses as those
subclasses are mapped. The propagate=True flag should be used.
- The registry of class names is now sensitive to the owning module and
package of a given class. The classes can be referred to via dotted name
in expressions.
- The “deferred reflection” feature allows the construction of declarative
mapped classes with only placeholder Table metadata, until a prepare()
step is called, given an Engine with which to reflect fully all tables
and establish actual mappings. The system supports overriding of columns,
single and joined inheritance, as well as distinct bases-per-engine.
- A new SQL registration system allows a mapped class to be accepted as a
FROM clause within the core.
- The new UPDATE..FROM mechanics work in query.update().
- Upon rollback(), only those objects that were made dirty since the last
flush will be expired, the rest of the Session remains intact.
- Caching Example now uses dogpile.cache.
- The new operator system in Core associates new and overridden operators
with types.
- SQL expressions can now be associated with types.
- The inspect() function introduced in New Class/Object Inspection System
also applies to the core.
- select() now has a method Select.correlate_except() which specifies
“correlate on all FROM clauses except those specified”.
- Support for Postgresql’s HSTORE type is now available as
postgresql.HSTORE. This type makes great usage of the new operator system
to provide a full range of operators for HSTORE types, including index
access, concatenation, and containment methods such as has_key(),
has_any(), and matrix().
- The postgresql.ARRAY type will accept an optional “dimension” argument,
pinning it to a fixed number of dimensions and greatly improving
efficiency when retrieving results.
- SQLite has no built-in DATE, TIME, or DATETIME types, and instead
provides some support for storage of date and time values either as
strings or integers.
- The “collate” keyword, long accepted by the MySQL dialect, is now
established on all String types and will render on any backend, including
when features such as MetaData.create_all() and cast() is used.
- Geared towards MySQL, a “prefix” can be rendered within any of these
constructs.
- The consideration of a “pending” object as an “orphan” has been made more
aggressive.
- The after_attach event fires after the item is associated with the
Session instead of before; before_attach added.
- Query now auto-correlates like a select() does.
- Correlation is now always context-specific.
- create_all() and drop_all() will now honor an empty list as such.
- Repaired the Event Targeting of InstrumentationEvents.
- No more magic coercion of “=” to IN when comparing to subquery in
MS-SQL.
- The Session.is_modified() method accepts an argument passive which
basically should not be necessary, the argument in all cases should be
the value True - when left at its default of False it would have the
effect of hitting the database, and often triggering autoflush which
would itself change the results. In 0.8 the passive argument will have no
effect, and unloaded attributes will never be checked for history since
by definition there can be no pending state change on an unloaded
attribute.
- Column.key is honored in the Select.c attribute of select() with
Select.apply_labels().
- A relationship() that is many-to-one or many-to-many and specifies
“cascade=’all, delete-orphan’”, which is an awkward but nonetheless
supported use case (with restrictions) will now raise an error if the
relationship does not specify the single_parent=True option.
- Adding the inspector argument to the column_reflect event.
- The MySQL dialect does two calls, one very expensive, to load all
possible collations from the database as well as information on casing,
the first time an Engine connects. Neither of these collections are used
for any SQLAlchemy functions, so these calls will be changed to no longer
be emitted automatically. Applications that might have relied on these
collections being present on engine.dialect will need to call upon
_detect_collations() and _detect_casing() directly.
- Inspector.get_primary_keys() is deprecated, use
Inspector.get_pk_constraint.
- Case-insensitive result row names will be disabled in most cases. It will
be available only optionally, by passing the flag `case_sensitive=False`
to `create_engine()`, but otherwise column names requested from the row
must match as far as casing.
- The sqlalchemy.orm.interfaces.InstrumentationManager class is moved to
sqlalchemy.ext.instrumentation.InstrumentationManager.
- SQLSoup is now moved into its own project and documented/released
separately; see https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/sqlsoup.
- The older “mutable” system within the SQLAlchemy ORM has been removed.
- We had left in an alias sqlalchemy.exceptions to attempt to make it
slightly easier for some very old libraries that hadn’t yet been upgraded
to use sqlalchemy.exc. Some users are still being confused by it however
so in 0.8 we’re taking it out entirely to eliminate any of that confusion.

Update SQLalchemy to version 0.6.0.
Changes since 0.5.6:
0.6.0
=====
- orm
- Unit of work internals have been rewritten. Units of work
with large numbers of objects interdependent objects
can now be flushed without recursion overflows
as there is no longer reliance upon recursive calls
[ticket:1081]. The number of internal structures now stays
constant for a particular session state, regardless of
how many relationships are present on mappings. The flow
of events now corresponds to a linear list of steps,
generated by the mappers and relationships based on actual
work to be done, filtered through a single topological sort
for correct ordering. Flush actions are assembled using
far fewer steps and less memory. [ticket:1742]
- Along with the UOW rewrite, this also removes an issue
introduced in 0.6beta3 regarding topological cycle detection
for units of work with long dependency cycles. We now use
an algorithm written by Guido (thanks Guido!).
- one-to-many relationships now maintain a list of positive
parent-child associations within the flush, preventing
previous parents marked as deleted from cascading a
delete or NULL foreign key set on those child objects,
despite the end-user not removing the child from the old
association. [ticket:1764]
- A collection lazy load will switch off default
eagerloading on the reverse many-to-one side, since
that loading is by definition unnecessary. [ticket:1495]
- Session.refresh() now does an equivalent expire()
on the given instance first, so that the "refresh-expire"
cascade is propagated. Previously, refresh() was
not affected in any way by the presence of "refresh-expire"
cascade. This is a change in behavior versus that
of 0.6beta2, where the "lockmode" flag passed to refresh()
would cause a version check to occur. Since the instance
is first expired, refresh() always upgrades the object
to the most recent version.
- The 'refresh-expire' cascade, when reaching a pending object,
will expunge the object if the cascade also includes
"delete-orphan", or will simply detach it otherwise.
[ticket:1754]
- id(obj) is no longer used internally within topological.py,
as the sorting functions now require hashable objects
only. [ticket:1756]
- The ORM will set the docstring of all generated descriptors
to None by default. This can be overridden using 'doc'
(or if using Sphinx, attribute docstrings work too).
- Added kw argument 'doc' to all mapper property callables
as well as Column(). Will assemble the string 'doc' as
the '__doc__' attribute on the descriptor.
- Usage of version_id_col on a backend that supports
cursor.rowcount for execute() but not executemany() now works
when a delete is issued (already worked for saves, since those
don't use executemany()). For a backend that doesn't support
cursor.rowcount at all, a warning is emitted the same
as with saves. [ticket:1761]
- The ORM now short-term caches the "compiled" form of
insert() and update() constructs when flushing lists of
objects of all the same class, thereby avoiding redundant
compilation per individual INSERT/UPDATE within an
individual flush() call.
- internal getattr(), setattr(), getcommitted() methods
on ColumnProperty, CompositeProperty, RelationshipProperty
have been underscored (i.e. are private), signature has
changed.
- engines
- The C extension now also works with DBAPIs which use custom
sequences as row (and not only tuples). [ticket:1757]
- sql
- Restored some bind-labeling logic from 0.5 which ensures
that tables with column names that overlap another column
of the form "<tablename>_<columnname>" won't produce
errors if column._label is used as a bind name during
an UPDATE. Test coverage which wasn't present in 0.5
has been added. [ticket:1755]
- somejoin.select(fold_equivalents=True) is no longer
deprecated, and will eventually be rolled into a more
comprehensive version of the feature for [ticket:1729].
- the Numeric type raises an *enormous* warning when expected
to convert floats to Decimal from a DBAPI that returns floats.
This includes SQLite, Sybase, MS-SQL. [ticket:1759]
- Fixed an error in expression typing which caused an endless
loop for expressions with two NULL types.
- Fixed bug in execution_options() feature whereby the existing
Transaction and other state information from the parent
connection would not be propagated to the sub-connection.
- Added new 'compiled_cache' execution option. A dictionary
where Compiled objects will be cached when the Connection
compiles a clause expression into a dialect- and parameter-
specific Compiled object. It is the user's responsibility to
manage the size of this dictionary, which will have keys
corresponding to the dialect, clause element, the column
names within the VALUES or SET clause of an INSERT or UPDATE,
as well as the "batch" mode for an INSERT or UPDATE statement.
- Added get_pk_constraint() to reflection.Inspector, similar
to get_primary_keys() except returns a dict that includes the
name of the constraint, for supported backends (PG so far).
[ticket:1769]
- Table.create() and Table.drop() no longer apply metadata-
level create/drop events. [ticket:1771]
- ext
- the compiler extension now allows @compiles decorators
on base classes that extend to child classes, @compiles
decorators on child classes that aren't broken by a
@compiles decorator on the base class.
- Declarative will raise an informative error message
if a non-mapped class attribute is referenced in the
string-based relationship() arguments.
- Further reworked the "mixin" logic in declarative to
additionally allow __mapper_args__ as a @classproperty
on a mixin, such as to dynamically assign polymorphic_identity.
- postgresql
- Postgresql now reflects sequence names associated with
SERIAL columns correctly, after the name of of the sequence
has been changed. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the patch.
[ticket:1071]
- Repaired missing import in psycopg2._PGNumeric type when
unknown numeric is received.
- psycopg2/pg8000 dialects now aware of REAL[], FLOAT[],
DOUBLE_PRECISION[], NUMERIC[] return types without
raising an exception.
- Postgresql reflects the name of primary key constraints,
if one exists. [ticket:1769]
- oracle
- Now using cx_oracle output converters so that the
DBAPI returns natively the kinds of values we prefer:
- NUMBER values with positive precision + scale convert
to cx_oracle.STRING and then to Decimal. This
allows perfect precision for the Numeric type when
using cx_oracle. [ticket:1759]
- STRING/FIXED_CHAR now convert to unicode natively.
SQLAlchemy's String types then don't need to
apply any kind of conversions.
- firebird
- The functionality of result.rowcount can be disabled on a
per-engine basis by setting 'enable_rowcount=False'
on create_engine(). Normally, cursor.rowcount is called
after any UPDATE or DELETE statement unconditionally,
because the cursor is then closed and Firebird requires
an open cursor in order to get a rowcount. This
call is slightly expensive however so it can be disabled.
To re-enable on a per-execution basis, the
'enable_rowcount=True' execution option may be used.
- examples
- Updated attribute_shard.py example to use a more robust
method of searching a Query for binary expressions which
compare columns against literal values.
0.6beta3
========
- orm
- Major feature: Added new "subquery" loading capability to
relationship(). This is an eager loading option which
generates a second SELECT for each collection represented
in a query, across all parents at once. The query
re-issues the original end-user query wrapped in a subquery,
applies joins out to the target collection, and loads
all those collections fully in one result, similar to
"joined" eager loading but using all inner joins and not
re-fetching full parent rows repeatedly (as most DBAPIs seem
to do, even if columns are skipped). Subquery loading is
available at mapper config level using "lazy='subquery'" and
at the query options level using "subqueryload(props..)",
"subqueryload_all(props...)". [ticket:1675]
- To accomodate the fact that there are now two kinds of eager
loading available, the new names for eagerload() and
eagerload_all() are joinedload() and joinedload_all(). The
old names will remain as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- The "lazy" flag on the relationship() function now accepts
a string argument for all kinds of loading: "select", "joined",
"subquery", "noload" and "dynamic", where the default is now
"select". The old values of True/
False/None still retain their usual meanings and will remain
as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- Added with_hint() method to Query() construct. This calls
directly down to select().with_hint() and also accepts
entities as well as tables and aliases. See with_hint() in the
SQL section below. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug in Query whereby calling q.join(prop).from_self(...).
join(prop) would fail to render the second join outside the
subquery, when joining on the same criterion as was on the
inside.
- Fixed bug in Query whereby the usage of aliased() constructs
would fail if the underlying table (but not the actual alias)
were referenced inside the subquery generated by
q.from_self() or q.select_from().
- Fixed bug which affected all eagerload() and similar options
such that "remote" eager loads, i.e. eagerloads off of a lazy
load such as query(A).options(eagerload(A.b, B.c))
wouldn't eagerload anything, but using eagerload("b.c") would
work fine.
- Query gains an add_columns(*columns) method which is a multi-
version of add_column(col). add_column(col) is future
deprecated.
- Query.join() will detect if the end result will be
"FROM A JOIN A", and will raise an error if so.
- Query.join(Cls.propname, from_joinpoint=True) will check more
carefully that "Cls" is compatible with the current joinpoint,
and act the same way as Query.join("propname", from_joinpoint=True)
in that regard.
- sql
- Added with_hint() method to select() construct. Specify
a table/alias, hint text, and optional dialect name, and
"hints" will be rendered in the appropriate place in the
statement. Works for Oracle, Sybase, MySQL. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug introduced in 0.6beta2 where column labels would
render inside of column expressions already assigned a label.
[ticket:1747]
- postgresql
- The psycopg2 dialect will log NOTICE messages via the
"sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql" logger name.
[ticket:877]
- the TIME and TIMESTAMP types are now availble from the
postgresql dialect directly, which add the PG-specific
argument 'precision' to both. 'precision' and
'timezone' are correctly reflected for both TIME and
TIMEZONE types. [ticket:997]
- mysql
- No longer guessing that TINYINT(1) should be BOOLEAN
when reflecting - TINYINT(1) is returned. Use Boolean/
BOOLEAN in table definition to get boolean conversion
behavior. [ticket:1752]
- oracle
- The Oracle dialect will issue VARCHAR type definitions
using character counts, i.e. VARCHAR2(50 CHAR), so that
the column is sized in terms of characters and not bytes.
Column reflection of character types will also use
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.CHAR_LENGTH instead of
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.DATA_LENGTH. Both of these behaviors take
effect when the server version is 9 or higher - for
version 8, the old behaviors are used. [ticket:1744]
- declarative
- Using a mixin won't break if the mixin implements an
unpredictable __getattribute__(), i.e. Zope interfaces.
[ticket:1746]
- Using @classdecorator and similar on mixins to define
__tablename__, __table_args__, etc. now works if
the method references attributes on the ultimate
subclass. [ticket:1749]
- relationships and columns with foreign keys aren't
allowed on declarative mixins, sorry. [ticket:1751]
- ext
- The sqlalchemy.orm.shard module now becomes an extension,
sqlalchemy.ext.horizontal_shard. The old import
works with a deprecation warning.
0.6beta2
========
- py3k
- Improved the installation/test setup regarding Python 3,
now that Distribute runs on Py3k. distribute_setup.py
is now included. See README.py3k for Python 3 installation/
testing instructions.
- orm
- The official name for the relation() function is now
relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational
algebra term. relation() however will remain available
in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
- Added "version_id_generator" argument to Mapper, this is a
callable that, given the current value of the "version_id_col",
returns the next version number. Can be used for alternate
versioning schemes such as uuid, timestamps. [ticket:1692]
- added "lockmode" kw argument to Session.refresh(), will
pass through the string value to Query the same as
in with_lockmode(), will also do version check for a
version_id_col-enabled mapping.
- Fixed bug whereby calling query(A).join(A.bs).add_entity(B)
in a joined inheritance scenario would double-add B as a
target and produce an invalid query. [ticket:1188]
- Fixed bug in session.rollback() which involved not removing
formerly "pending" objects from the session before
re-integrating "deleted" objects, typically occured with
natural primary keys. If there was a primary key conflict
between them, the attach of the deleted would fail
internally. The formerly "pending" objects are now expunged
first. [ticket:1674]
- Removed a lot of logging that nobody really cares about,
logging that remains will respond to live changes in the
log level. No significant overhead is added. [ticket:1719]
- Fixed bug in session.merge() which prevented dict-like
collections from merging.
- session.merge() works with relations that specifically
don't include "merge" in their cascade options - the target
is ignored completely.
- session.merge() will not expire existing scalar attributes
on an existing target if the target has a value for that
attribute, even if the incoming merged doesn't have
a value for the attribute. This prevents unnecessary loads
on existing items. Will still mark the attr as expired
if the destination doesn't have the attr, though, which
fulfills some contracts of deferred cols. [ticket:1681]
- The "allow_null_pks" flag is now called "allow_partial_pks",
defaults to True, acts like it did in 0.5 again. Except,
it also is implemented within merge() such that a SELECT
won't be issued for an incoming instance with partially
NULL primary key if the flag is False. [ticket:1680]
- Fixed bug in 0.6-reworked "many-to-one" optimizations
such that a many-to-one that is against a non-primary key
column on the remote table (i.e. foreign key against a
UNIQUE column) will pull the "old" value in from the
database during a change, since if it's in the session
we will need it for proper history/backref accounting,
and we can't pull from the local identity map on a
non-primary key column. [ticket:1737]
- fixed internal error which would occur if calling has()
or similar complex expression on a single-table inheritance
relation(). [ticket:1731]
- query.one() no longer applies LIMIT to the query, this to
ensure that it fully counts all object identities present
in the result, even in the case where joins may conceal
multiple identities for two or more rows. As a bonus,
one() can now also be called with a query that issued
from_statement() to start with since it no longer modifies
the query. [ticket:1688]
- query.get() now returns None if queried for an identifier
that is present in the identity map with a different class
than the one requested, i.e. when using polymorphic loading.
[ticket:1727]
- A major fix in query.join(), when the "on" clause is an
attribute of an aliased() construct, but there is already
an existing join made out to a compatible target, query properly
joins to the right aliased() construct instead of sticking
onto the right side of the existing join. [ticket:1706]
- Slight improvement to the fix for [ticket:1362] to not issue
needless updates of the primary key column during a so-called
"row switch" operation, i.e. add + delete of two objects
with the same PK.
- Now uses sqlalchemy.orm.exc.DetachedInstanceError when an
attribute load or refresh action fails due to object
being detached from any Session. UnboundExecutionError
is specific to engines bound to sessions and statements.
- Query called in the context of an expression will render
disambiguating labels in all cases. Note that this does
not apply to the existing .statement and .subquery()
accessor/method, which still honors the .with_labels()
setting that defaults to False.
- Query.union() retains disambiguating labels within the
returned statement, thus avoiding various SQL composition
errors which can result from column name conflicts.
[ticket:1676]
- Fixed bug in attribute history that inadvertently invoked
__eq__ on mapped instances.
- Some internal streamlining of object loading grants a
small speedup for large results, estimates are around
10-15%. Gave the "state" internals a good solid
cleanup with less complexity, datamembers,
method calls, blank dictionary creates.
- Documentation clarification for query.delete()
[ticket:1689]
- Fixed cascade bug in many-to-one relation() when attribute
was set to None, introduced in r6711 (cascade deleted
items into session during add()).
- Calling query.order_by() or query.distinct() before calling
query.select_from(), query.with_polymorphic(), or
query.from_statement() raises an exception now instead of
silently dropping those criterion. [ticket:1736]
- query.scalar() now raises an exception if more than one
row is returned. All other behavior remains the same.
[ticket:1735]
- Fixed bug which caused "row switch" logic, that is an
INSERT and DELETE replaced by an UPDATE, to fail when
version_id_col was in use. [ticket:1692]
- sql
- join() will now simulate a NATURAL JOIN by default. Meaning,
if the left side is a join, it will attempt to join the right
side to the rightmost side of the left first, and not raise
any exceptions about ambiguous join conditions if successful
even if there are further join targets across the rest of
the left. [ticket:1714]
- The most common result processors conversion function were
moved to the new "processors" module. Dialect authors are
encouraged to use those functions whenever they correspond
to their needs instead of implementing custom ones.
- SchemaType and subclasses Boolean, Enum are now serializable,
including their ddl listener and other event callables.
[ticket:1694] [ticket:1698]
- Some platforms will now interpret certain literal values
as non-bind parameters, rendered literally into the SQL
statement. This to support strict SQL-92 rules that are
enforced by some platforms including MS-SQL and Sybase.
In this model, bind parameters aren't allowed in the
columns clause of a SELECT, nor are certain ambiguous
expressions like "?=?". When this mode is enabled, the base
compiler will render the binds as inline literals, but only across
strings and numeric values. Other types such as dates
will raise an error, unless the dialect subclass defines
a literal rendering function for those. The bind parameter
must have an embedded literal value already or an error
is raised (i.e. won't work with straight bindparam('x')).
Dialects can also expand upon the areas where binds are not
accepted, such as within argument lists of functions
(which don't work on MS-SQL when native SQL binding is used).
- Added "unicode_errors" parameter to String, Unicode, etc.
Behaves like the 'errors' keyword argument to
the standard library's string.decode() functions. This flag
requires that `convert_unicode` is set to `"force"` - otherwise,
SQLAlchemy is not guaranteed to handle the task of unicode
conversion. Note that this flag adds significant performance
overhead to row-fetching operations for backends that already
return unicode objects natively (which most DBAPIs do). This
flag should only be used as an absolute last resort for reading
strings from a column with varied or corrupted encodings,
which only applies to databases that accept invalid encodings
in the first place (i.e. MySQL. *not* PG, Sqlite, etc.)
- Added math negation operator support, -x.
- FunctionElement subclasses are now directly executable the
same way any func.foo() construct is, with automatic
SELECT being applied when passed to execute().
- The "type" and "bind" keyword arguments of a func.foo()
construct are now local to "func." constructs and are
not part of the FunctionElement base class, allowing
a "type" to be handled in a custom constructor or
class-level variable.
- Restored the keys() method to ResultProxy.
- The type/expression system now does a more complete job
of determining the return type from an expression
as well as the adaptation of the Python operator into
a SQL operator, based on the full left/right/operator
of the given expression. In particular
the date/time/interval system created for Postgresql
EXTRACT in [ticket:1647] has now been generalized into
the type system. The previous behavior which often
occured of an expression "column + literal" forcing
the type of "literal" to be the same as that of "column"
will now usually not occur - the type of
"literal" is first derived from the Python type of the
literal, assuming standard native Python types + date
types, before falling back to that of the known type
on the other side of the expression. If the
"fallback" type is compatible (i.e. CHAR from String),
the literal side will use that. TypeDecorator
types override this by default to coerce the "literal"
side unconditionally, which can be changed by implementing
the coerce_compared_value() method. Also part of
[ticket:1683].
- Made sqlalchemy.sql.expressions.Executable part of public
API, used for any expression construct that can be sent to
execute(). FunctionElement now inherits Executable so that
it gains execution_options(), which are also propagated
to the select() that's generated within execute().
Executable in turn subclasses _Generative which marks
any ClauseElement that supports the @_generative
decorator - these may also become "public" for the benefit
of the compiler extension at some point.
- A change to the solution for [ticket:1579] - an end-user
defined bind parameter name that directly conflicts with
a column-named bind generated directly from the SET or
VALUES clause of an update/insert generates a compile error.
This reduces call counts and eliminates some cases where
undesirable name conflicts could still occur.
- Column() requires a type if it has no foreign keys (this is
not new). An error is now raised if a Column() has no type
and no foreign keys. [ticket:1705]
- the "scale" argument of the Numeric() type is honored when
coercing a returned floating point value into a string
on its way to Decimal - this allows accuracy to function
on SQLite, MySQL. [ticket:1717]
- the copy() method of Column now copies over uninitialized
"on table attach" events. Helps with the new declarative
"mixin" capability.
- engines
- Added an optional C extension to speed up the sql layer by
reimplementing RowProxy and the most common result processors.
The actual speedups will depend heavily on your DBAPI and
the mix of datatypes used in your tables, and can vary from
a 30% improvement to more than 200%. It also provides a modest
(~15-20%) indirect improvement to ORM speed for large queries.
Note that it is *not* built/installed by default.
See README for installation instructions.
- the execution sequence pulls all rowcount/last inserted ID
info from the cursor before commit() is called on the
DBAPI connection in an "autocommit" scenario. This helps
mxodbc with rowcount and is probably a good idea overall.
- Opened up logging a bit such that isEnabledFor() is called
more often, so that changes to the log level for engine/pool
will be reflected on next connect. This adds a small
amount of method call overhead. It's negligible and will make
life a lot easier for all those situations when logging
just happens to be configured after create_engine() is called.
[ticket:1719]
- The assert_unicode flag is deprecated. SQLAlchemy will raise
a warning in all cases where it is asked to encode a non-unicode
Python string, as well as when a Unicode or UnicodeType type
is explicitly passed a bytestring. The String type will do nothing
for DBAPIs that already accept Python unicode objects.
- Bind parameters are sent as a tuple instead of a list. Some
backend drivers will not accept bind parameters as a list.
- threadlocal engine wasn't properly closing the connection
upon close() - fixed that.
- Transaction object doesn't rollback or commit if it isn't
"active", allows more accurate nesting of begin/rollback/commit.
- Python unicode objects as binds result in the Unicode type,
not string, thus eliminating a certain class of unicode errors
on drivers that don't support unicode binds.
- Added "logging_name" argument to create_engine(), Pool() constructor
as well as "pool_logging_name" argument to create_engine() which
filters down to that of Pool. Issues the given string name
within the "name" field of logging messages instead of the default
hex identifier string. [ticket:1555]
- The visit_pool() method of Dialect is removed, and replaced with
on_connect(). This method returns a callable which receives
the raw DBAPI connection after each one is created. The callable
is assembled into a first_connect/connect pool listener by the
connection strategy if non-None. Provides a simpler interface
for dialects.
- StaticPool now initializes, disposes and recreates without
opening a new connection - the connection is only opened when
first requested. dispose() also works on AssertionPool now.
[ticket:1728]
- metadata
- Added the ability to strip schema information when using
"tometadata" by passing "schema=None" as an argument. If schema
is not specified then the table's schema is retained.
[ticket: 1673]
- declarative
- DeclarativeMeta exclusively uses cls.__dict__ (not dict_)
as the source of class information; _as_declarative exclusively
uses the dict_ passed to it as the source of class information
(which when using DeclarativeMeta is cls.__dict__). This should
in theory make it easier for custom metaclasses to modify
the state passed into _as_declarative.
- declarative now accepts mixin classes directly, as a means
to provide common functional and column-based elements on
all subclasses, as well as a means to propagate a fixed
set of __table_args__ or __mapper_args__ to subclasses.
For custom combinations of __table_args__/__mapper_args__ from
an inherited mixin to local, descriptors can now be used.
New details are all up in the Declarative documentation.
Thanks to Chris Withers for putting up with my strife
on this. [ticket:1707]
- the __mapper_args__ dict is copied when propagating to a subclass,
and is taken straight off the class __dict__ to avoid any
propagation from the parent. mapper inheritance already
propagates the things you want from the parent mapper.
[ticket:1393]
- An exception is raised when a single-table subclass specifies
a column that is already present on the base class.
[ticket:1732]
- mysql
- Fixed reflection bug whereby when COLLATE was present,
nullable flag and server defaults would not be reflected.
[ticket:1655]
- Fixed reflection of TINYINT(1) "boolean" columns defined with
integer flags like UNSIGNED.
- Further fixes for the mysql-connector dialect. [ticket:1668]
- Composite PK table on InnoDB where the "autoincrement" column
isn't first will emit an explicit "KEY" phrase within
CREATE TABLE thereby avoiding errors, [ticket:1496]
- Added reflection/create table support for a wide range
of MySQL keywords. [ticket:1634]
- Fixed import error which could occur reflecting tables on
a Windows host [ticket:1580]
- mssql
- Re-established support for the pymssql dialect.
- Various fixes for implicit returning, reflection,
etc. - the MS-SQL dialects aren't quite complete
in 0.6 yet (but are close)
- Added basic support for mxODBC [ticket:1710].
- Removed the text_as_varchar option.
- oracle
- "out" parameters require a type that is supported by
cx_oracle. An error will be raised if no cx_oracle
type can be found.
- Oracle 'DATE' now does not perform any result processing,
as the DATE type in Oracle stores full date+time objects,
that's what you'll get. Note that the generic types.Date
type *will* still call value.date() on incoming values,
however. When reflecting a table, the reflected type
will be 'DATE'.
- Added preliminary support for Oracle's WITH_UNICODE
mode. At the very least this establishes initial
support for cx_Oracle with Python 3. When WITH_UNICODE
mode is used in Python 2.xx, a large and scary warning
is emitted asking that the user seriously consider
the usage of this difficult mode of operation.
[ticket:1670]
- The except_() method now renders as MINUS on Oracle,
which is more or less equivalent on that platform.
[ticket:1712]
- Added support for rendering and reflecting
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, i.e. TIMESTAMP(timezone=True).
[ticket:651]
- Oracle INTERVAL type can now be reflected.
- sqlite
- Added "native_datetime=True" flag to create_engine().
This will cause the DATE and TIMESTAMP types to skip
all bind parameter and result row processing, under
the assumption that PARSE_DECLTYPES has been enabled
on the connection. Note that this is not entirely
compatible with the "func.current_date()", which
will be returned as a string. [ticket:1685]
- sybase
- Implemented a preliminary working dialect for Sybase,
with sub-implementations for Python-Sybase as well
as Pyodbc. Handles table
creates/drops and basic round trip functionality.
Does not yet include reflection or comprehensive
support of unicode/special expressions/etc.
- examples
- Changed the beaker cache example a bit to have a separate
RelationCache option for lazyload caching. This object
does a lookup among any number of potential attributes
more efficiently by grouping several into a common structure.
Both FromCache and RelationCache are simpler individually.
- documentation
- Major cleanup work in the docs to link class, function, and
method names into the API docs. [ticket:1700/1702/1703]
0.6beta1
========
- Major Release
- For the full set of feature descriptions, see
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/06Migration .
This document is a work in progress.
- All bug fixes and feature enhancements from the most
recent 0.5 version and below are also included within 0.6.
- Platforms targeted now include Python 2.4/2.5/2.6, Python
3.1, Jython2.5.
- orm
- Changes to query.update() and query.delete():
- the 'expire' option on query.update() has been renamed to
'fetch', thus matching that of query.delete().
'expire' is deprecated and issues a warning.
- query.update() and query.delete() both default to
'evaluate' for the synchronize strategy.
- the 'synchronize' strategy for update() and delete()
raises an error on failure. There is no implicit fallback
onto "fetch". Failure of evaluation is based on the
structure of criteria, so success/failure is deterministic
based on code structure.
- Enhancements on many-to-one relations:
- many-to-one relations now fire off a lazyload in fewer
cases, including in most cases will not fetch the "old"
value when a new one is replaced.
- many-to-one relation to a joined-table subclass now uses
get() for a simple load (known as the "use_get"
condition), i.e. Related->Sub(Base), without the need to
redefine the primaryjoin condition in terms of the base
table. [ticket:1186]
- specifying a foreign key with a declarative column, i.e.
ForeignKey(MyRelatedClass.id) doesn't break the "use_get"
condition from taking place [ticket:1492]
- relation(), eagerload(), and eagerload_all() now feature
an option called "innerjoin". Specify `True` or `False` to
control whether an eager join is constructed as an INNER
or OUTER join. Default is `False` as always. The mapper
options will override whichever setting is specified on
relation(). Should generally be set for many-to-one, not
nullable foreign key relations to allow improved join
performance. [ticket:1544]
- the behavior of eagerloading such that the main query is
wrapped in a subquery when LIMIT/OFFSET are present now
makes an exception for the case when all eager loads are
many-to-one joins. In those cases, the eager joins are
against the parent table directly along with the
limit/offset without the extra overhead of a subquery,
since a many-to-one join does not add rows to the result.
- Enhancements / Changes on Session.merge():
- the "dont_load=True" flag on Session.merge() is deprecated
and is now "load=False".
- Session.merge() is performance optimized, using half the
call counts for "load=False" mode compared to 0.5 and
significantly fewer SQL queries in the case of collections
for "load=True" mode.
- merge() will not issue a needless merge of attributes if the
given instance is the same instance which is already present.
- merge() now also merges the "options" associated with a given
state, i.e. those passed through query.options() which follow
along with an instance, such as options to eagerly- or
lazyily- load various attributes. This is essential for
the construction of highly integrated caching schemes. This
is a subtle behavioral change vs. 0.5.
- A bug was fixed regarding the serialization of the "loader
path" present on an instance's state, which is also necessary
when combining the usage of merge() with serialized state
and associated options that should be preserved.
- The all new merge() is showcased in a new comprehensive
example of how to integrate Beaker with SQLAlchemy. See
the notes in the "examples" note below.
- Primary key values can now be changed on a joined-table inheritance
object, and ON UPDATE CASCADE will be taken into account when
the flush happens. Set the new "passive_updates" flag to False
on mapper() when using SQLite or MySQL/MyISAM. [ticket:1362]
- flush() now detects when a primary key column was updated by
an ON UPDATE CASCADE operation from another primary key, and
can then locate the row for a subsequent UPDATE on the new PK
value. This occurs when a relation() is there to establish
the relationship as well as passive_updates=True. [ticket:1671]
- the "save-update" cascade will now cascade the pending *removed*
values from a scalar or collection attribute into the new session
during an add() operation. This so that the flush() operation
will also delete or modify rows of those disconnected items.
- Using a "dynamic" loader with a "secondary" table now produces
a query where the "secondary" table is *not* aliased. This
allows the secondary Table object to be used in the "order_by"
attribute of the relation(), and also allows it to be used
in filter criterion against the dynamic relation.
[ticket:1531]
- relation() with uselist=False will emit a warning when
an eager or lazy load locates more than one valid value for
the row. This may be due to primaryjoin/secondaryjoin
conditions which aren't appropriate for an eager LEFT OUTER
JOIN or for other conditions. [ticket:1643]
- an explicit check occurs when a synonym() is used with
map_column=True, when a ColumnProperty (deferred or otherwise)
exists separately in the properties dictionary sent to mapper
with the same keyname. Instead of silently replacing
the existing property (and possible options on that property),
an error is raised. [ticket:1633]
- a "dynamic" loader sets up its query criterion at construction
time so that the actual query is returned from non-cloning
accessors like "statement".
- the "named tuple" objects returned when iterating a
Query() are now pickleable.
- mapping to a select() construct now requires that you
make an alias() out of it distinctly. This to eliminate
confusion over such issues as [ticket:1542]
- query.join() has been reworked to provide more consistent
behavior and more flexibility (includes [ticket:1537])
- query.select_from() accepts multiple clauses to produce
multiple comma separated entries within the FROM clause.
Useful when selecting from multiple-homed join() clauses.
- query.select_from() also accepts mapped classes, aliased()
constructs, and mappers as arguments. In particular this
helps when querying from multiple joined-table classes to ensure
the full join gets rendered.
- query.get() can be used with a mapping to an outer join
where one or more of the primary key values are None.
[ticket:1135]
- query.from_self(), query.union(), others which do a
"SELECT * from (SELECT...)" type of nesting will do
a better job translating column expressions within the subquery
to the columns clause of the outer query. This is
potentially backwards incompatible with 0.5, in that this
may break queries with literal expressions that do not have labels
applied (i.e. literal('foo'), etc.)
[ticket:1568]
- relation primaryjoin and secondaryjoin now check that they
are column-expressions, not just clause elements. this prohibits
things like FROM expressions being placed there directly.
[ticket:1622]
- `expression.null()` is fully understood the same way
None is when comparing an object/collection-referencing
attribute within query.filter(), filter_by(), etc.
[ticket:1415]
- added "make_transient()" helper function which transforms a
persistent/ detached instance into a transient one (i.e.
deletes the instance_key and removes from any session.)
[ticket:1052]
- the allow_null_pks flag on mapper() is deprecated, and
the feature is turned "on" by default. This means that
a row which has a non-null value for any of its primary key
columns will be considered an identity. The need for this
scenario typically only occurs when mapping to an outer join.
[ticket:1339]
- the mechanics of "backref" have been fully merged into the
finer grained "back_populates" system, and take place entirely
within the _generate_backref() method of RelationProperty. This
makes the initialization procedure of RelationProperty
simpler and allows easier propagation of settings (such as from
subclasses of RelationProperty) into the reverse reference.
The internal BackRef() is gone and backref() returns a plain
tuple that is understood by RelationProperty.
- The version_id_col feature on mapper() will raise a warning when
used with dialects that don't support "rowcount" adequately.
[ticket:1569]
- added "execution_options()" to Query, to so options can be
passed to the resulting statement. Currently only
Select-statements have these options, and the only option
used is "stream_results", and the only dialect which knows
"stream_results" is psycopg2.
- Query.yield_per() will set the "stream_results" statement
option automatically.
- Deprecated or removed:
* 'allow_null_pks' flag on mapper() is deprecated. It does
nothing now and the setting is "on" in all cases.
* 'transactional' flag on sessionmaker() and others is
removed. Use 'autocommit=True' to indicate 'transactional=False'.
* 'polymorphic_fetch' argument on mapper() is removed.
Loading can be controlled using the 'with_polymorphic'
option.
* 'select_table' argument on mapper() is removed. Use
'with_polymorphic=("*", <some selectable>)' for this
functionality.
* 'proxy' argument on synonym() is removed. This flag
did nothing throughout 0.5, as the "proxy generation"
behavior is now automatic.
* Passing a single list of elements to eagerload(),
eagerload_all(), contains_eager(), lazyload(),
defer(), and undefer() instead of multiple positional
*args is deprecated.
* Passing a single list of elements to query.order_by(),
query.group_by(), query.join(), or query.outerjoin()
instead of multiple positional *args is deprecated.
* query.iterate_instances() is removed. Use query.instances().
* Query.query_from_parent() is removed. Use the
sqlalchemy.orm.with_parent() function to produce a
"parent" clause, or alternatively query.with_parent().
* query._from_self() is removed, use query.from_self()
instead.
* the "comparator" argument to composite() is removed.
Use "comparator_factory".
* RelationProperty._get_join() is removed.
* the 'echo_uow' flag on Session is removed. Use
logging on the "sqlalchemy.orm.unitofwork" name.
* session.clear() is removed. use session.expunge_all().
* session.save(), session.update(), session.save_or_update()
are removed. Use session.add() and session.add_all().
* the "objects" flag on session.flush() remains deprecated.
* the "dont_load=True" flag on session.merge() is deprecated
in favor of "load=False".
* ScopedSession.mapper remains deprecated. See the
usage recipe at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/SessionAwareMapper
* passing an InstanceState (internal SQLAlchemy state object) to
attributes.init_collection() or attributes.get_history() is
deprecated. These functions are public API and normally
expect a regular mapped object instance.
* the 'engine' parameter to declarative_base() is removed.
Use the 'bind' keyword argument.
- sql
- the "autocommit" flag on select() and text() as well
as select().autocommit() are deprecated - now call
.execution_options(autocommit=True) on either of those
constructs, also available directly on Connection and orm.Query.
- the autoincrement flag on column now indicates the column
which should be linked to cursor.lastrowid, if that method
is used. See the API docs for details.
- an executemany() now requires that all bound parameter
sets require that all keys are present which are
present in the first bound parameter set. The structure
and behavior of an insert/update statement is very much
determined by the first parameter set, including which
defaults are going to fire off, and a minimum of
guesswork is performed with all the rest so that performance
is not impacted. For this reason defaults would otherwise
silently "fail" for missing parameters, so this is now guarded
against. [ticket:1566]
- returning() support is native to insert(), update(),
delete(). Implementations of varying levels of
functionality exist for Postgresql, Firebird, MSSQL and
Oracle. returning() can be called explicitly with column
expressions which are then returned in the resultset,
usually via fetchone() or first().
insert() constructs will also use RETURNING implicitly to
get newly generated primary key values, if the database
version in use supports it (a version number check is
performed). This occurs if no end-user returning() was
specified.
- union(), intersect(), except() and other "compound" types
of statements have more consistent behavior w.r.t.
parenthesizing. Each compound element embedded within
another will now be grouped with parenthesis - previously,
the first compound element in the list would not be grouped,
as SQLite doesn't like a statement to start with
parenthesis. However, Postgresql in particular has
precedence rules regarding INTERSECT, and it is
more consistent for parenthesis to be applied equally
to all sub-elements. So now, the workaround for SQLite
is also what the workaround for PG was previously -
when nesting compound elements, the first one usually needs
".alias().select()" called on it to wrap it inside
of a subquery. [ticket:1665]
- insert() and update() constructs can now embed bindparam()
objects using names that match the keys of columns. These
bind parameters will circumvent the usual route to those
keys showing up in the VALUES or SET clause of the generated
SQL. [ticket:1579]
- the Binary type now returns data as a Python string
(or a "bytes" type in Python 3), instead of the built-
in "buffer" type. This allows symmetric round trips
of binary data. [ticket:1524]
- Added a tuple_() construct, allows sets of expressions
to be compared to another set, typically with IN against
composite primary keys or similar. Also accepts an
IN with multiple columns. The "scalar select can
have only one column" error message is removed - will
rely upon the database to report problems with
col mismatch.
- User-defined "default" and "onupdate" callables which
accept a context should now call upon
"context.current_parameters" to get at the dictionary
of bind parameters currently being processed. This
dict is available in the same way regardless of
single-execute or executemany-style statement execution.
- multi-part schema names, i.e. with dots such as
"dbo.master", are now rendered in select() labels
with underscores for dots, i.e. "dbo_master_table_column".
This is a "friendly" label that behaves better
in result sets. [ticket:1428]
- removed needless "counter" behavior with select()
labelnames that match a column name in the table,
i.e. generates "tablename_id" for "id", instead of
"tablename_id_1" in an attempt to avoid naming
conflicts, when the table has a column actually
named "tablename_id" - this is because
the labeling logic is always applied to all columns
so a naming conflict will never occur.
- calling expr.in_([]), i.e. with an empty list, emits a warning
before issuing the usual "expr != expr" clause. The
"expr != expr" can be very expensive, and it's preferred
that the user not issue in_() if the list is empty,
instead simply not querying, or modifying the criterion
as appropriate for more complex situations.
[ticket:1628]
- Added "execution_options()" to select()/text(), which set the
default options for the Connection. See the note in "engines".
- Deprecated or removed:
* "scalar" flag on select() is removed, use
select.as_scalar().
* "shortname" attribute on bindparam() is removed.
* postgres_returning, firebird_returning flags on
insert(), update(), delete() are deprecated, use
the new returning() method.
* fold_equivalents flag on join is deprecated (will remain
until [ticket:1131] is implemented)
- engines
- transaction isolation level may be specified with
create_engine(... isolation_level="..."); available on
postgresql and sqlite. [ticket:443]
- Connection has execution_options(), generative method
which accepts keywords that affect how the statement
is executed w.r.t. the DBAPI. Currently supports
"stream_results", causes psycopg2 to use a server
side cursor for that statement, as well as
"autocommit", which is the new location for the "autocommit"
option from select() and text(). select() and
text() also have .execution_options() as well as
ORM Query().
- fixed the import for entrypoint-driven dialects to
not rely upon silly tb_info trick to determine import
error status. [ticket:1630]
- added first() method to ResultProxy, returns first row and
closes result set immediately.
- RowProxy objects are now pickleable, i.e. the object returned
by result.fetchone(), result.fetchall() etc.
- RowProxy no longer has a close() method, as the row no longer
maintains a reference to the parent. Call close() on
the parent ResultProxy instead, or use autoclose.
- ResultProxy internals have been overhauled to greatly reduce
method call counts when fetching columns. Can provide a large
speed improvement (up to more than 100%) when fetching large
result sets. The improvement is larger when fetching columns
that have no type-level processing applied and when using
results as tuples (instead of as dictionaries). Many
thanks to Elixir's Gaëtan de Menten for this dramatic
improvement ! [ticket:1586]
- Databases which rely upon postfetch of "last inserted id"
to get at a generated sequence value (i.e. MySQL, MS-SQL)
now work correctly when there is a composite primary key
where the "autoincrement" column is not the first primary
key column in the table.
- the last_inserted_ids() method has been renamed to the
descriptor "inserted_primary_key".
- setting echo=False on create_engine() now sets the loglevel
to WARN instead of NOTSET. This so that logging can be
disabled for a particular engine even if logging
for "sqlalchemy.engine" is enabled overall. Note that the
default setting of "echo" is `None`. [ticket:1554]
- ConnectionProxy now has wrapper methods for all transaction
lifecycle events, including begin(), rollback(), commit()
begin_nested(), begin_prepared(), prepare(), release_savepoint(),
etc.
- Connection pool logging now uses both INFO and DEBUG
log levels for logging. INFO is for major events such
as invalidated connections, DEBUG for all the acquire/return
logging. `echo_pool` can be False, None, True or "debug"
the same way as `echo` works.
- All pyodbc-dialects now support extra pyodbc-specific
kw arguments 'ansi', 'unicode_results', 'autocommit'.
[ticket:1621]
- the "threadlocal" engine has been rewritten and simplified
and now supports SAVEPOINT operations.
- deprecated or removed
* result.last_inserted_ids() is deprecated. Use
result.inserted_primary_key
* dialect.get_default_schema_name(connection) is now
public via dialect.default_schema_name.
* the "connection" argument from engine.transaction() and
engine.run_callable() is removed - Connection itself
now has those methods. All four methods accept
*args and **kwargs which are passed to the given callable,
as well as the operating connection.
- schema
- the `__contains__()` method of `MetaData` now accepts
strings or `Table` objects as arguments. If given
a `Table`, the argument is converted to `table.key` first,
i.e. "[schemaname.]<tablename>" [ticket:1541]
- deprecated MetaData.connect() and
ThreadLocalMetaData.connect() have been removed - send
the "bind" attribute to bind a metadata.
- deprecated metadata.table_iterator() method removed (use
sorted_tables)
- deprecated PassiveDefault - use DefaultClause.
- the "metadata" argument is removed from DefaultGenerator
and subclasses, but remains locally present on Sequence,
which is a standalone construct in DDL.
- Removed public mutability from Index and Constraint
objects:
- ForeignKeyConstraint.append_element()
- Index.append_column()
- UniqueConstraint.append_column()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.add()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.remove()
These should be constructed declaratively (i.e. in one
construction).
- The "start" and "increment" attributes on Sequence now
generate "START WITH" and "INCREMENT BY" by default,
on Oracle and Postgresql. Firebird doesn't support
these keywords right now. [ticket:1545]
- UniqueConstraint, Index, PrimaryKeyConstraint all accept
lists of column names or column objects as arguments.
- Other removed things:
- Table.key (no idea what this was for)
- Table.primary_key is not assignable - use
table.append_constraint(PrimaryKeyConstraint(...))
- Column.bind (get via column.table.bind)
- Column.metadata (get via column.table.metadata)
- Column.sequence (use column.default)
- ForeignKey(constraint=some_parent) (is now private _constraint)
- The use_alter flag on ForeignKey is now a shortcut option
for operations that can be hand-constructed using the
DDL() event system. A side effect of this refactor is
that ForeignKeyConstraint objects with use_alter=True
will *not* be emitted on SQLite, which does not support
ALTER for foreign keys.
- ForeignKey and ForeignKeyConstraint objects now correctly
copy() all their public keyword arguments. [ticket:1605]
- Reflection/Inspection
- Table reflection has been expanded and generalized into
a new API called "sqlalchemy.engine.reflection.Inspector".
The Inspector object provides fine-grained information about
a wide variety of schema information, with room for expansion,
including table names, column names, view definitions, sequences,
indexes, etc.
- Views are now reflectable as ordinary Table objects. The same
Table constructor is used, with the caveat that "effective"
primary and foreign key constraints aren't part of the reflection
results; these have to be specified explicitly if desired.
- The existing autoload=True system now uses Inspector underneath
so that each dialect need only return "raw" data about tables
and other objects - Inspector is the single place that information
is compiled into Table objects so that consistency is at a maximum.
- DDL
- the DDL system has been greatly expanded. the DDL() class
now extends the more generic DDLElement(), which forms the basis
of many new constructs:
- CreateTable()
- DropTable()
- AddConstraint()
- DropConstraint()
- CreateIndex()
- DropIndex()
- CreateSequence()
- DropSequence()
These support "on" and "execute-at()" just like plain DDL()
does. User-defined DDLElement subclasses can be created and
linked to a compiler using the sqlalchemy.ext.compiler extension.
- The signature of the "on" callable passed to DDL() and
DDLElement() is revised as follows:
"ddl" - the DDLElement object itself.
"event" - the string event name.
"target" - previously "schema_item", the Table or
MetaData object triggering the event.
"connection" - the Connection object in use for the operation.
**kw - keyword arguments. In the case of MetaData before/after
create/drop, the list of Table objects for which
CREATE/DROP DDL is to be issued is passed as the kw
argument "tables". This is necessary for metadata-level
DDL that is dependent on the presence of specific tables.
- the "schema_item" attribute of DDL has been renamed to
"target".
- dialect refactor
- Dialect modules are now broken into database dialects
plus DBAPI implementations. Connect URLs are now
preferred to be specified using dialect+driver://...,
i.e. "mysql+mysqldb://scott:tiger@localhost/test". See
the 0.6 documentation for examples.
- the setuptools entrypoint for external dialects is now
called "sqlalchemy.dialects".
- the "owner" keyword argument is removed from Table. Use
"schema" to represent any namespaces to be prepended to
the table name.
- server_version_info becomes a static attribute.
- dialects receive an initialize() event on initial
connection to determine connection properties.
- dialects receive a visit_pool event have an opportunity
to establish pool listeners.
- cached TypeEngine classes are cached per-dialect class
instead of per-dialect.
- new UserDefinedType should be used as a base class for
new types, which preserves the 0.5 behavior of
get_col_spec().
- The result_processor() method of all type classes now
accepts a second argument "coltype", which is the DBAPI
type argument from cursor.description. This argument
can help some types decide on the most efficient processing
of result values.
- Deprecated Dialect.get_params() removed.
- Dialect.get_rowcount() has been renamed to a descriptor
"rowcount", and calls cursor.rowcount directly. Dialects
which need to hardwire a rowcount in for certain calls
should override the method to provide different behavior.
- DefaultRunner and subclasses have been removed. The job
of this object has been simplified and moved into
ExecutionContext. Dialects which support sequences should
add a `fire_sequence()` method to their execution context
implementation. [ticket:1566]
- Functions and operators generated by the compiler now use
(almost) regular dispatch functions of the form
"visit_<opname>" and "visit_<funcname>_fn" to provide
customed processing. This replaces the need to copy the
"functions" and "operators" dictionaries in compiler
subclasses with straightforward visitor methods, and also
allows compiler subclasses complete control over
rendering, as the full _Function or _BinaryExpression
object is passed in.
- postgresql
- New dialects: pg8000, zxjdbc, and pypostgresql
on py3k.
- The "postgres" dialect is now named "postgresql" !
Connection strings look like:
postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test
postgresql+pg8000://scott:tiger@localhost/test
The "postgres" name remains for backwards compatiblity
in the following ways:
- There is a "postgres.py" dummy dialect which
allows old URLs to work, i.e.
postgres://scott:tiger@localhost/test
- The "postgres" name can be imported from the old
"databases" module, i.e. "from
sqlalchemy.databases import postgres" as well as
"dialects", "from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgres
import base as pg", will send a deprecation
warning.
- Special expression arguments are now named
"postgresql_returning" and "postgresql_where", but
the older "postgres_returning" and
"postgres_where" names still work with a
deprecation warning.
- "postgresql_where" now accepts SQL expressions which
can also include literals, which will be quoted as needed.
- The psycopg2 dialect now uses psycopg2's "unicode extension"
on all new connections, which allows all String/Text/etc.
types to skip the need to post-process bytestrings into
unicode (an expensive step due to its volume). Other
dialects which return unicode natively (pg8000, zxjdbc)
also skip unicode post-processing.
- Added new ENUM type, which exists as a schema-level
construct and extends the generic Enum type. Automatically
associates itself with tables and their parent metadata
to issue the appropriate CREATE TYPE/DROP TYPE
commands as needed, supports unicode labels, supports
reflection. [ticket:1511]
- INTERVAL supports an optional "precision" argument
corresponding to the argument that PG accepts.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
psycopg2 can't handle a bind parameter name of
%(foobar)s however and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead
just to treat that one non-existent use case.
[ticket:1279]
- Inserting NULL into a primary key + foreign key column
will allow the "not null constraint" error to raise,
not an attempt to execute a nonexistent "col_id_seq"
sequence. [ticket:1516]
- autoincrement SELECT statements, i.e. those which
select from a procedure that modifies rows, now work
with server-side cursor mode (the named cursor isn't
used for such statements.)
- postgresql dialect can properly detect pg "devel" version
strings, i.e. "8.5devel" [ticket:1636]
- The psycopg2 now respects the statement option
"stream_results". This option overrides the connection setting
"server_side_cursors". If true, server side cursors will be
used for the statement. If false, they will not be used, even
if "server_side_cursors" is true on the
connection. [ticket:1619]
- mysql
- New dialects: oursql, a new native dialect,
MySQL Connector/Python, a native Python port of MySQLdb,
and of course zxjdbc on Jython.
- VARCHAR/NVARCHAR will not render without a length, raises
an error before passing to MySQL. Doesn't impact
CAST since VARCHAR is not allowed in MySQL CAST anyway,
the dialect renders CHAR/NCHAR in those cases.
- all the _detect_XXX() functions now run once underneath
dialect.initialize()
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
MySQLdb can't handle % signs in SQL when executemany() is used,
and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead just to treat that one
non-existent use case. [ticket:1279]
- the BINARY and MSBinary types now generate "BINARY" in all
cases. Omitting the "length" parameter will generate
"BINARY" with no length. Use BLOB to generate an unlengthed
binary column.
- the "quoting='quoted'" argument to MSEnum/ENUM is deprecated.
It's best to rely upon the automatic quoting.
- ENUM now subclasses the new generic Enum type, and also handles
unicode values implicitly, if the given labelnames are unicode
objects.
- a column of type TIMESTAMP now defaults to NULL if
"nullable=False" is not passed to Column(), and no default
is present. This is now consistent with all other types,
and in the case of TIMESTAMP explictly renders "NULL"
due to MySQL's "switching" of default nullability
for TIMESTAMP columns. [ticket:1539]
- oracle
- unit tests pass 100% with cx_oracle !
- support for cx_Oracle's "native unicode" mode which does
not require NLS_LANG to be set. Use the latest 5.0.2 or
later of cx_oracle.
- an NCLOB type is added to the base types.
- use_ansi=False won't leak into the FROM/WHERE clause of
a statement that's selecting from a subquery that also
uses JOIN/OUTERJOIN.
- added native INTERVAL type to the dialect. This supports
only the DAY TO SECOND interval type so far due to lack
of support in cx_oracle for YEAR TO MONTH. [ticket:1467]
- usage of the CHAR type results in cx_oracle's
FIXED_CHAR dbapi type being bound to statements.
- the Oracle dialect now features NUMBER which intends
to act justlike Oracle's NUMBER type. It is the primary
numeric type returned by table reflection and attempts
to return Decimal()/float/int based on the precision/scale
parameters. [ticket:885]
- func.char_length is a generic function for LENGTH
- ForeignKey() which includes onupdate=<value> will emit a
warning, not emit ON UPDATE CASCADE which is unsupported
by oracle
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- using types.BigInteger with Oracle will generate
NUMBER(19) [ticket:1125]
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- firebird
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- mssql
- MSSQL + Pyodbc + FreeTDS now works for the most part,
with possible exceptions regarding binary data as well as
unicode schema identifiers.
- the "has_window_funcs" flag is removed. LIMIT/OFFSET
usage will use ROW NUMBER as always, and if on an older
version of SQL Server, the operation fails. The behavior
is exactly the same except the error is raised by SQL
server instead of the dialect, and no flag setting is
required to enable it.
- the "auto_identity_insert" flag is removed. This feature
always takes effect when an INSERT statement overrides a
column that is known to have a sequence on it. As with
"has_window_funcs", if the underlying driver doesn't
support this, then you can't do this operation in any
case, so there's no point in having a flag.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- removed references to sequence which is no longer used.
implicit identities in mssql work the same as implicit
sequences on any other dialects. Explicit sequences are
enabled through the use of "default=Sequence()". See
the MSSQL dialect documentation for more information.
- sqlite
- DATE, TIME and DATETIME types can now take optional storage_format
and regexp argument. storage_format can be used to store those types
using a custom string format. regexp allows to use a custom regular
expression to match string values from the database.
- Time and DateTime types now use by a default a stricter regular
expression to match strings from the database. Use the regexp
argument if you are using data stored in a legacy format.
- __legacy_microseconds__ on SQLite Time and DateTime types is not
supported anymore. You should use the storage_format argument
instead.
- Date, Time and DateTime types are now stricter in what they accept as
bind parameters: Date type only accepts date objects (and datetime
ones, because they inherit from date), Time only accepts time
objects, and DateTime only accepts date and datetime objects.
- Table() supports a keyword argument "sqlite_autoincrement", which
applies the SQLite keyword "AUTOINCREMENT" to the single integer
primary key column when generating DDL. Will prevent generation of
a separate PRIMARY KEY constraint. [ticket:1016]
- new dialects
- postgresql+pg8000
- postgresql+pypostgresql (partial)
- postgresql+zxjdbc
- mysql+pyodbc
- mysql+zxjdbc
- types
- The construction of types within dialects has been totally
overhauled. Dialects now define publically available types
as UPPERCASE names exclusively, and internal implementation
types using underscore identifiers (i.e. are private).
The system by which types are expressed in SQL and DDL
has been moved to the compiler system. This has the
effect that there are much fewer type objects within
most dialects. A detailed document on this architecture
for dialect authors is in
lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/type_migration_guidelines.txt .
- Types no longer make any guesses as to default
parameters. In particular, Numeric, Float, NUMERIC,
FLOAT, DECIMAL don't generate any length or scale unless
specified.
- types.Binary is renamed to types.LargeBinary, it only
produces BLOB, BYTEA, or a similar "long binary" type.
New base BINARY and VARBINARY
types have been added to access these MySQL/MS-SQL specific
types in an agnostic way [ticket:1664].
- String/Text/Unicode types now skip the unicode() check
on each result column value if the dialect has
detected the DBAPI as returning Python unicode objects
natively. This check is issued on first connect
using "SELECT CAST 'some text' AS VARCHAR(10)" or
equivalent, then checking if the returned object
is a Python unicode. This allows vast performance
increases for native-unicode DBAPIs, including
pysqlite/sqlite3, psycopg2, and pg8000.
- Most types result processors have been checked for possible speed
improvements. Specifically, the following generic types have been
optimized, resulting in varying speed improvements:
Unicode, PickleType, Interval, TypeDecorator, Binary.
Also the following dbapi-specific implementations have been improved:
Time, Date and DateTime on Sqlite, ARRAY on Postgresql,
Time on MySQL, Numeric(as_decimal=False) on MySQL, oursql and
pypostgresql, DateTime on cx_oracle and LOB-based types on cx_oracle.
- Reflection of types now returns the exact UPPERCASE
type within types.py, or the UPPERCASE type within
the dialect itself if the type is not a standard SQL
type. This means reflection now returns more accurate
information about reflected types.
- Added a new Enum generic type. Enum is a schema-aware object
to support databases which require specific DDL in order to
use enum or equivalent; in the case of PG it handles the
details of `CREATE TYPE`, and on other databases without
native enum support will by generate VARCHAR + an inline CHECK
constraint to enforce the enum.
[ticket:1109] [ticket:1511]
- The Interval type includes a "native" flag which controls
if native INTERVAL types (postgresql + oracle) are selected
if available, or not. "day_precision" and "second_precision"
arguments are also added which propagate as appropriately
to these native types. Related to [ticket:1467].
- The Boolean type, when used on a backend that doesn't
have native boolean support, will generate a CHECK
constraint "col IN (0, 1)" along with the int/smallint-
based column type. This can be switched off if
desired with create_constraint=False.
Note that MySQL has no native boolean *or* CHECK constraint
support so this feature isn't available on that platform.
[ticket:1589]
- PickleType now uses == for comparison of values when
mutable=True, unless the "comparator" argument with a
comparsion function is specified to the type. Objects
being pickled will be compared based on identity (which
defeats the purpose of mutable=True) if __eq__() is not
overridden or a comparison function is not provided.
- The default "precision" and "scale" arguments of Numeric
and Float have been removed and now default to None.
NUMERIC and FLOAT will be rendered with no numeric
arguments by default unless these values are provided.
- AbstractType.get_search_list() is removed - the games
that was used for are no longer necessary.
- Added a generic BigInteger type, compiles to
BIGINT or NUMBER(19). [ticket:1125]
-ext
- sqlsoup has been overhauled to explicitly support an 0.5 style
session, using autocommit=False, autoflush=True. Default
behavior of SQLSoup now requires the usual usage of commit()
and rollback(), which have been added to its interface. An
explcit Session or scoped_session can be passed to the
constructor, allowing these arguments to be overridden.
- sqlsoup db.<sometable>.update() and delete() now call
query(cls).update() and delete(), respectively.
- sqlsoup now has execute() and connection(), which call upon
the Session methods of those names, ensuring that the bind is
in terms of the SqlSoup object's bind.
- sqlsoup objects no longer have the 'query' attribute - it's
not needed for sqlsoup's usage paradigm and it gets in the
way of a column that is actually named 'query'.
- The signature of the proxy_factory callable passed to
association_proxy is now (lazy_collection, creator,
value_attr, association_proxy), adding a fourth argument
that is the parent AssociationProxy argument. Allows
serializability and subclassing of the built in collections.
[ticket:1259]
- association_proxy now has basic comparator methods .any(),
.has(), .contains(), ==, !=, thanks to Scott Torborg.
[ticket:1372]
- examples
- The "query_cache" examples have been removed, and are replaced
with a fully comprehensive approach that combines the usage of
Beaker with SQLAlchemy. New query options are used to indicate
the caching characteristics of a particular Query, which
can also be invoked deep within an object graph when lazily
loading related objects. See /examples/beaker_caching/README.
0.5.9
=====
- sql
- Fixed erroneous self_group() call in expression package.
[ticket:1661]
0.5.8
=====
- sql
- The copy() method on Column now supports uninitialized,
unnamed Column objects. This allows easy creation of
declarative helpers which place common columns on multiple
subclasses.
- Default generators like Sequence() translate correctly
across a copy() operation.
- Sequence() and other DefaultGenerator objects are accepted
as the value for the "default" and "onupdate" keyword
arguments of Column, in addition to being accepted
positionally.
- Fixed a column arithmetic bug that affected column
correspondence for cloned selectables which contain
free-standing column expressions. This bug is
generally only noticeable when exercising newer
ORM behavior only availble in 0.6 via [ticket:1568],
but is more correct at the SQL expression level
as well. [ticket:1617]
- postgresql
- The extract() function, which was slightly improved in
0.5.7, needed a lot more work to generate the correct
typecast (the typecasts appear to be necessary in PG's
EXTRACT quite a lot of the time). The typecast is
now generated using a rule dictionary based
on PG's documentation for date/time/interval arithmetic.
It also accepts text() constructs again, which was broken
in 0.5.7. [ticket:1647]
- firebird
- Recognize more errors as disconnections. [ticket:1646]
0.5.7
=====
- orm
- contains_eager() now works with the automatically
generated subquery that results when you say
"query(Parent).join(Parent.somejoinedsubclass)", i.e.
when Parent joins to a joined-table-inheritance subclass.
Previously contains_eager() would erroneously add the
subclass table to the query separately producing a
cartesian product. An example is in the ticket
description. [ticket:1543]
- query.options() now only propagate to loaded objects
for potential further sub-loads only for options where
such behavior is relevant, keeping
various unserializable options like those generated
by contains_eager() out of individual instance states.
[ticket:1553]
- Session.execute() now locates table- and
mapper-specific binds based on a passed
in expression which is an insert()/update()/delete()
construct. [ticket:1054]
- Session.merge() now properly overwrites a many-to-one or
uselist=False attribute to None if the attribute
is also None in the given object to be merged.
- Fixed a needless select which would occur when merging
transient objects that contained a null primary key
identifier. [ticket:1618]
- Mutable collection passed to the "extension" attribute
of relation(), column_property() etc. will not be mutated
or shared among multiple instrumentation calls, preventing
duplicate extensions, such as backref populators,
from being inserted into the list.
[ticket:1585]
- Fixed the call to get_committed_value() on CompositeProperty.
[ticket:1504]
- Fixed bug where Query would crash if a join() with no clear
"left" side were called when a non-mapped column entity
appeared in the columns list. [ticket:1602]
- Fixed bug whereby composite columns wouldn't load properly
when configured on a joined-table subclass, introduced in
version 0.5.6 as a result of the fix for [ticket:1480].
[ticket:1616] thx to Scott Torborg.
- The "use get" behavior of many-to-one relations, i.e. that a
lazy load will fallback to the possibly cached query.get()
value, now works across join conditions where the two compared
types are not exactly the same class, but share the same
"affinity" - i.e. Integer and SmallInteger. Also allows
combinations of reflected and non-reflected types to work
with 0.5 style type reflection, such as PGText/Text (note 0.6
reflects types as their generic versions). [ticket:1556]
- Fixed bug in query.update() when passing Cls.attribute
as keys in the value dict and using synchronize_session='expire'
('fetch' in 0.6). [ticket:1436]
- sql
- Fixed bug in two-phase transaction whereby commit() method
didn't set the full state which allows subsequent close()
call to succeed. [ticket:1603]
- Fixed the "numeric" paramstyle, which apparently is the
default paramstyle used by Informixdb.
- Repeat expressions in the columns clause of a select
are deduped based on the identity of each clause element,
not the actual string. This allows positional
elements to render correctly even if they all render
identically, such as "qmark" style bind parameters.
[ticket:1574]
- The cursor associated with connection pool connections
(i.e. _CursorFairy) now proxies `__iter__()` to the
underlying cursor correctly. [ticket:1632]
- types now support an "affinity comparison" operation, i.e.
that an Integer/SmallInteger are "compatible", or
a Text/String, PickleType/Binary, etc. Part of
[ticket:1556].
- Fixed bug preventing alias() of an alias() from being
cloned or adapted (occurs frequently in ORM operations).
[ticket:1641]
- sqlite
- sqlite dialect properly generates CREATE INDEX for a table
that is in an alternate schema. [ticket:1439]
- postgresql
- Added support for reflecting the DOUBLE PRECISION type,
via a new postgres.PGDoublePrecision object.
This is postgresql.DOUBLE_PRECISION in 0.6.
[ticket:1085]
- Added support for reflecting the INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND syntaxes of the INTERVAL
type. [ticket:460]
- Corrected the "has_sequence" query to take current schema,
or explicit sequence-stated schema, into account.
[ticket:1576]
- Fixed the behavior of extract() to apply operator
precedence rules to the "::" operator when applying
the "timestamp" cast - ensures proper parenthesization.
[ticket:1611]
- mssql
- Changed the name of TrustedConnection to
Trusted_Connection when constructing pyodbc connect
arguments [ticket:1561]
- oracle
- The "table_names" dialect function, used by MetaData
.reflect(), omits "index overflow tables", a system
table generated by Oracle when "index only tables"
with overflow are used. These tables aren't accessible
via SQL and can't be reflected. [ticket:1637]
- ext
- A column can be added to a joined-table declarative
superclass after the class has been constructed
(i.e. via class-level attribute assignment), and
the column will be propagated down to
subclasses. [ticket:1570] This is the reverse
situation as that of [ticket:1523], fixed in 0.5.6.
- Fixed a slight inaccuracy in the sharding example.
Comparing equivalence of columns in the ORM is best
accomplished using col1.shares_lineage(col2).
[ticket:1491]
- Removed unused `load()` method from ShardedQuery.
[ticket:1606]

Update py-sqlalchemy to version 0.8.2.
Changes since 0.7.10:
- Compatibility for Python 2.4 is being dropped.
- The primaryjoin argument is no longer needed when constructing a
relationship() against a class that has multiple foreign key paths to the
target.
- Relationships against self-referential, composite foreign keys where a
column points to itself are now supported.
- Previously difficult custom join conditions, like those involving
functions and/or CASTing of types, will now function as expected in most
cases.
- New Class/Object Inspection System.
- A new enhancement to the aliased() construct has been added called
with_polymorphic() which allows any entity to be “aliased” into a
“polymorphic” version of itself, freely usable anywhere.
- The PropComparator.of_type() method can now be used to target any number
of target subtypes, by combining it with the new with_polymorphic()
function.
- Mapper and instance events can now be associated with an unmapped
superclass, where those events will be propagated to subclasses as those
subclasses are mapped. The propagate=True flag should be used.
- The registry of class names is now sensitive to the owning module and
package of a given class. The classes can be referred to via dotted name
in expressions.
- The “deferred reflection” feature allows the construction of declarative
mapped classes with only placeholder Table metadata, until a prepare()
step is called, given an Engine with which to reflect fully all tables
and establish actual mappings. The system supports overriding of columns,
single and joined inheritance, as well as distinct bases-per-engine.
- A new SQL registration system allows a mapped class to be accepted as a
FROM clause within the core.
- The new UPDATE..FROM mechanics work in query.update().
- Upon rollback(), only those objects that were made dirty since the last
flush will be expired, the rest of the Session remains intact.
- Caching Example now uses dogpile.cache.
- The new operator system in Core associates new and overridden operators
with types.
- SQL expressions can now be associated with types.
- The inspect() function introduced in New Class/Object Inspection System
also applies to the core.
- select() now has a method Select.correlate_except() which specifies
“correlate on all FROM clauses except those specified”.
- Support for Postgresql’s HSTORE type is now available as
postgresql.HSTORE. This type makes great usage of the new operator system
to provide a full range of operators for HSTORE types, including index
access, concatenation, and containment methods such as has_key(),
has_any(), and matrix().
- The postgresql.ARRAY type will accept an optional “dimension” argument,
pinning it to a fixed number of dimensions and greatly improving
efficiency when retrieving results.
- SQLite has no built-in DATE, TIME, or DATETIME types, and instead
provides some support for storage of date and time values either as
strings or integers.
- The “collate” keyword, long accepted by the MySQL dialect, is now
established on all String types and will render on any backend, including
when features such as MetaData.create_all() and cast() is used.
- Geared towards MySQL, a “prefix” can be rendered within any of these
constructs.
- The consideration of a “pending” object as an “orphan” has been made more
aggressive.
- The after_attach event fires after the item is associated with the
Session instead of before; before_attach added.
- Query now auto-correlates like a select() does.
- Correlation is now always context-specific.
- create_all() and drop_all() will now honor an empty list as such.
- Repaired the Event Targeting of InstrumentationEvents.
- No more magic coercion of “=” to IN when comparing to subquery in
MS-SQL.
- The Session.is_modified() method accepts an argument passive which
basically should not be necessary, the argument in all cases should be
the value True - when left at its default of False it would have the
effect of hitting the database, and often triggering autoflush which
would itself change the results. In 0.8 the passive argument will have no
effect, and unloaded attributes will never be checked for history since
by definition there can be no pending state change on an unloaded
attribute.
- Column.key is honored in the Select.c attribute of select() with
Select.apply_labels().
- A relationship() that is many-to-one or many-to-many and specifies
“cascade=’all, delete-orphan’”, which is an awkward but nonetheless
supported use case (with restrictions) will now raise an error if the
relationship does not specify the single_parent=True option.
- Adding the inspector argument to the column_reflect event.
- The MySQL dialect does two calls, one very expensive, to load all
possible collations from the database as well as information on casing,
the first time an Engine connects. Neither of these collections are used
for any SQLAlchemy functions, so these calls will be changed to no longer
be emitted automatically. Applications that might have relied on these
collections being present on engine.dialect will need to call upon
_detect_collations() and _detect_casing() directly.
- Inspector.get_primary_keys() is deprecated, use
Inspector.get_pk_constraint.
- Case-insensitive result row names will be disabled in most cases. It will
be available only optionally, by passing the flag `case_sensitive=False`
to `create_engine()`, but otherwise column names requested from the row
must match as far as casing.
- The sqlalchemy.orm.interfaces.InstrumentationManager class is moved to
sqlalchemy.ext.instrumentation.InstrumentationManager.
- SQLSoup is now moved into its own project and documented/released
separately; see https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/sqlsoup.
- The older “mutable” system within the SQLAlchemy ORM has been removed.
- We had left in an alias sqlalchemy.exceptions to attempt to make it
slightly easier for some very old libraries that hadn’t yet been upgraded
to use sqlalchemy.exc. Some users are still being confused by it however
so in 0.8 we’re taking it out entirely to eliminate any of that confusion.

Update py-sqlalchemy to version 0.8.2.
Changes since 0.7.10:
- Compatibility for Python 2.4 is being dropped.
- The primaryjoin argument is no longer needed when constructing a
relationship() against a class that has multiple foreign key paths to the
target.
- Relationships against self-referential, composite foreign keys where a
column points to itself are now supported.
- Previously difficult custom join conditions, like those involving
functions and/or CASTing of types, will now function as expected in most
cases.
- New Class/Object Inspection System.
- A new enhancement to the aliased() construct has been added called
with_polymorphic() which allows any entity to be “aliased” into a
“polymorphic” version of itself, freely usable anywhere.
- The PropComparator.of_type() method can now be used to target any number
of target subtypes, by combining it with the new with_polymorphic()
function.
- Mapper and instance events can now be associated with an unmapped
superclass, where those events will be propagated to subclasses as those
subclasses are mapped. The propagate=True flag should be used.
- The registry of class names is now sensitive to the owning module and
package of a given class. The classes can be referred to via dotted name
in expressions.
- The “deferred reflection” feature allows the construction of declarative
mapped classes with only placeholder Table metadata, until a prepare()
step is called, given an Engine with which to reflect fully all tables
and establish actual mappings. The system supports overriding of columns,
single and joined inheritance, as well as distinct bases-per-engine.
- A new SQL registration system allows a mapped class to be accepted as a
FROM clause within the core.
- The new UPDATE..FROM mechanics work in query.update().
- Upon rollback(), only those objects that were made dirty since the last
flush will be expired, the rest of the Session remains intact.
- Caching Example now uses dogpile.cache.
- The new operator system in Core associates new and overridden operators
with types.
- SQL expressions can now be associated with types.
- The inspect() function introduced in New Class/Object Inspection System
also applies to the core.
- select() now has a method Select.correlate_except() which specifies
“correlate on all FROM clauses except those specified”.
- Support for Postgresql’s HSTORE type is now available as
postgresql.HSTORE. This type makes great usage of the new operator system
to provide a full range of operators for HSTORE types, including index
access, concatenation, and containment methods such as has_key(),
has_any(), and matrix().
- The postgresql.ARRAY type will accept an optional “dimension” argument,
pinning it to a fixed number of dimensions and greatly improving
efficiency when retrieving results.
- SQLite has no built-in DATE, TIME, or DATETIME types, and instead
provides some support for storage of date and time values either as
strings or integers.
- The “collate” keyword, long accepted by the MySQL dialect, is now
established on all String types and will render on any backend, including
when features such as MetaData.create_all() and cast() is used.
- Geared towards MySQL, a “prefix” can be rendered within any of these
constructs.
- The consideration of a “pending” object as an “orphan” has been made more
aggressive.
- The after_attach event fires after the item is associated with the
Session instead of before; before_attach added.
- Query now auto-correlates like a select() does.
- Correlation is now always context-specific.
- create_all() and drop_all() will now honor an empty list as such.
- Repaired the Event Targeting of InstrumentationEvents.
- No more magic coercion of “=” to IN when comparing to subquery in
MS-SQL.
- The Session.is_modified() method accepts an argument passive which
basically should not be necessary, the argument in all cases should be
the value True - when left at its default of False it would have the
effect of hitting the database, and often triggering autoflush which
would itself change the results. In 0.8 the passive argument will have no
effect, and unloaded attributes will never be checked for history since
by definition there can be no pending state change on an unloaded
attribute.
- Column.key is honored in the Select.c attribute of select() with
Select.apply_labels().
- A relationship() that is many-to-one or many-to-many and specifies
“cascade=’all, delete-orphan’”, which is an awkward but nonetheless
supported use case (with restrictions) will now raise an error if the
relationship does not specify the single_parent=True option.
- Adding the inspector argument to the column_reflect event.
- The MySQL dialect does two calls, one very expensive, to load all
possible collations from the database as well as information on casing,
the first time an Engine connects. Neither of these collections are used
for any SQLAlchemy functions, so these calls will be changed to no longer
be emitted automatically. Applications that might have relied on these
collections being present on engine.dialect will need to call upon
_detect_collations() and _detect_casing() directly.
- Inspector.get_primary_keys() is deprecated, use
Inspector.get_pk_constraint.
- Case-insensitive result row names will be disabled in most cases. It will
be available only optionally, by passing the flag `case_sensitive=False`
to `create_engine()`, but otherwise column names requested from the row
must match as far as casing.
- The sqlalchemy.orm.interfaces.InstrumentationManager class is moved to
sqlalchemy.ext.instrumentation.InstrumentationManager.
- SQLSoup is now moved into its own project and documented/released
separately; see https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/sqlsoup.
- The older “mutable” system within the SQLAlchemy ORM has been removed.
- We had left in an alias sqlalchemy.exceptions to attempt to make it
slightly easier for some very old libraries that hadn’t yet been upgraded
to use sqlalchemy.exc. Some users are still being confused by it however
so in 0.8 we’re taking it out entirely to eliminate any of that confusion.

py-sqlalchemy: updated to 1.3.1
1.3.1
orm
[orm] [bug] [ext] Fixed regression where an association proxy linked to a synonym would no longer work, both at instance level and at class level.
mssql
[mssql] [bug] A commit() is emitted after an isolation level change to SNAPSHOT, as both pyodbc and pymssql open an implicit transaction which blocks subsequent SQL from being emitted in the current transaction.
This change is also backported to: 1.2.19
[mssql] [bug] Fixed regression in SQL Server reflection due to 4393 where the removal of open-ended **kw from the Float datatype caused reflection of this type to fail due to a “scale” argument being passed.
1.3.0
orm
[orm] [feature] The Query.get() method can now accept a dictionary of attribute keys and values as a means of indicating the primary key value to load; is particularly useful for composite primary keys. Pull request courtesy Sanjana S.
[orm] [feature] A SQL expression can now be assigned to a primary key attribute for an ORM flush in the same manner as ordinary attributes as described in Embedding SQL Insert/Update Expressions into a Flush where the expression will be evaulated and then returned to the ORM using RETURNING, or in the case of pysqlite, works using the cursor.lastrowid attribute.Requires either a database that supports RETURNING (e.g. Postgresql, Oracle, SQL Server) or pysqlite.
engine
[engine] [feature] Revised the formatting for StatementError when stringified. Each error detail is broken up over multiple newlines instead of spaced out on a single line. Additionally, the SQL representation now stringifies the SQL statement rather than using repr(), so that newlines are rendered as is. Pull request courtesy Nate Clark.
See also
Changed StatementError formatting (newlines and %s)
sql
[sql] [bug] The Alias class and related subclasses CTE, Lateral and TableSample have been reworked so that it is not possible for a user to construct the objects directly. These constructs require that the standalone construction function or selectable-bound method be used to instantiate new objects.
schema
[schema] [feature] Added new parameters Table.resolve_fks and MetaData.reflect.resolve_fks which when set to False will disable the automatic reflection of related tables encountered in ForeignKey objects, which can both reduce SQL overhead for omitted tables as well as avoid tables that can’t be reflected for database-specific reasons. Two Table objects present in the same MetaData collection can still refer to each other even if the reflection of the two tables occurred separately

Update SQLalchemy to version 0.6.0.
Changes since 0.5.6:
0.6.0
=====
- orm
- Unit of work internals have been rewritten. Units of work
with large numbers of objects interdependent objects
can now be flushed without recursion overflows
as there is no longer reliance upon recursive calls
[ticket:1081]. The number of internal structures now stays
constant for a particular session state, regardless of
how many relationships are present on mappings. The flow
of events now corresponds to a linear list of steps,
generated by the mappers and relationships based on actual
work to be done, filtered through a single topological sort
for correct ordering. Flush actions are assembled using
far fewer steps and less memory. [ticket:1742]
- Along with the UOW rewrite, this also removes an issue
introduced in 0.6beta3 regarding topological cycle detection
for units of work with long dependency cycles. We now use
an algorithm written by Guido (thanks Guido!).
- one-to-many relationships now maintain a list of positive
parent-child associations within the flush, preventing
previous parents marked as deleted from cascading a
delete or NULL foreign key set on those child objects,
despite the end-user not removing the child from the old
association. [ticket:1764]
- A collection lazy load will switch off default
eagerloading on the reverse many-to-one side, since
that loading is by definition unnecessary. [ticket:1495]
- Session.refresh() now does an equivalent expire()
on the given instance first, so that the "refresh-expire"
cascade is propagated. Previously, refresh() was
not affected in any way by the presence of "refresh-expire"
cascade. This is a change in behavior versus that
of 0.6beta2, where the "lockmode" flag passed to refresh()
would cause a version check to occur. Since the instance
is first expired, refresh() always upgrades the object
to the most recent version.
- The 'refresh-expire' cascade, when reaching a pending object,
will expunge the object if the cascade also includes
"delete-orphan", or will simply detach it otherwise.
[ticket:1754]
- id(obj) is no longer used internally within topological.py,
as the sorting functions now require hashable objects
only. [ticket:1756]
- The ORM will set the docstring of all generated descriptors
to None by default. This can be overridden using 'doc'
(or if using Sphinx, attribute docstrings work too).
- Added kw argument 'doc' to all mapper property callables
as well as Column(). Will assemble the string 'doc' as
the '__doc__' attribute on the descriptor.
- Usage of version_id_col on a backend that supports
cursor.rowcount for execute() but not executemany() now works
when a delete is issued (already worked for saves, since those
don't use executemany()). For a backend that doesn't support
cursor.rowcount at all, a warning is emitted the same
as with saves. [ticket:1761]
- The ORM now short-term caches the "compiled" form of
insert() and update() constructs when flushing lists of
objects of all the same class, thereby avoiding redundant
compilation per individual INSERT/UPDATE within an
individual flush() call.
- internal getattr(), setattr(), getcommitted() methods
on ColumnProperty, CompositeProperty, RelationshipProperty
have been underscored (i.e. are private), signature has
changed.
- engines
- The C extension now also works with DBAPIs which use custom
sequences as row (and not only tuples). [ticket:1757]
- sql
- Restored some bind-labeling logic from 0.5 which ensures
that tables with column names that overlap another column
of the form "<tablename>_<columnname>" won't produce
errors if column._label is used as a bind name during
an UPDATE. Test coverage which wasn't present in 0.5
has been added. [ticket:1755]
- somejoin.select(fold_equivalents=True) is no longer
deprecated, and will eventually be rolled into a more
comprehensive version of the feature for [ticket:1729].
- the Numeric type raises an *enormous* warning when expected
to convert floats to Decimal from a DBAPI that returns floats.
This includes SQLite, Sybase, MS-SQL. [ticket:1759]
- Fixed an error in expression typing which caused an endless
loop for expressions with two NULL types.
- Fixed bug in execution_options() feature whereby the existing
Transaction and other state information from the parent
connection would not be propagated to the sub-connection.
- Added new 'compiled_cache' execution option. A dictionary
where Compiled objects will be cached when the Connection
compiles a clause expression into a dialect- and parameter-
specific Compiled object. It is the user's responsibility to
manage the size of this dictionary, which will have keys
corresponding to the dialect, clause element, the column
names within the VALUES or SET clause of an INSERT or UPDATE,
as well as the "batch" mode for an INSERT or UPDATE statement.
- Added get_pk_constraint() to reflection.Inspector, similar
to get_primary_keys() except returns a dict that includes the
name of the constraint, for supported backends (PG so far).
[ticket:1769]
- Table.create() and Table.drop() no longer apply metadata-
level create/drop events. [ticket:1771]
- ext
- the compiler extension now allows @compiles decorators
on base classes that extend to child classes, @compiles
decorators on child classes that aren't broken by a
@compiles decorator on the base class.
- Declarative will raise an informative error message
if a non-mapped class attribute is referenced in the
string-based relationship() arguments.
- Further reworked the "mixin" logic in declarative to
additionally allow __mapper_args__ as a @classproperty
on a mixin, such as to dynamically assign polymorphic_identity.
- postgresql
- Postgresql now reflects sequence names associated with
SERIAL columns correctly, after the name of of the sequence
has been changed. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the patch.
[ticket:1071]
- Repaired missing import in psycopg2._PGNumeric type when
unknown numeric is received.
- psycopg2/pg8000 dialects now aware of REAL[], FLOAT[],
DOUBLE_PRECISION[], NUMERIC[] return types without
raising an exception.
- Postgresql reflects the name of primary key constraints,
if one exists. [ticket:1769]
- oracle
- Now using cx_oracle output converters so that the
DBAPI returns natively the kinds of values we prefer:
- NUMBER values with positive precision + scale convert
to cx_oracle.STRING and then to Decimal. This
allows perfect precision for the Numeric type when
using cx_oracle. [ticket:1759]
- STRING/FIXED_CHAR now convert to unicode natively.
SQLAlchemy's String types then don't need to
apply any kind of conversions.
- firebird
- The functionality of result.rowcount can be disabled on a
per-engine basis by setting 'enable_rowcount=False'
on create_engine(). Normally, cursor.rowcount is called
after any UPDATE or DELETE statement unconditionally,
because the cursor is then closed and Firebird requires
an open cursor in order to get a rowcount. This
call is slightly expensive however so it can be disabled.
To re-enable on a per-execution basis, the
'enable_rowcount=True' execution option may be used.
- examples
- Updated attribute_shard.py example to use a more robust
method of searching a Query for binary expressions which
compare columns against literal values.
0.6beta3
========
- orm
- Major feature: Added new "subquery" loading capability to
relationship(). This is an eager loading option which
generates a second SELECT for each collection represented
in a query, across all parents at once. The query
re-issues the original end-user query wrapped in a subquery,
applies joins out to the target collection, and loads
all those collections fully in one result, similar to
"joined" eager loading but using all inner joins and not
re-fetching full parent rows repeatedly (as most DBAPIs seem
to do, even if columns are skipped). Subquery loading is
available at mapper config level using "lazy='subquery'" and
at the query options level using "subqueryload(props..)",
"subqueryload_all(props...)". [ticket:1675]
- To accomodate the fact that there are now two kinds of eager
loading available, the new names for eagerload() and
eagerload_all() are joinedload() and joinedload_all(). The
old names will remain as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- The "lazy" flag on the relationship() function now accepts
a string argument for all kinds of loading: "select", "joined",
"subquery", "noload" and "dynamic", where the default is now
"select". The old values of True/
False/None still retain their usual meanings and will remain
as synonyms for the foreseeable future.
- Added with_hint() method to Query() construct. This calls
directly down to select().with_hint() and also accepts
entities as well as tables and aliases. See with_hint() in the
SQL section below. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug in Query whereby calling q.join(prop).from_self(...).
join(prop) would fail to render the second join outside the
subquery, when joining on the same criterion as was on the
inside.
- Fixed bug in Query whereby the usage of aliased() constructs
would fail if the underlying table (but not the actual alias)
were referenced inside the subquery generated by
q.from_self() or q.select_from().
- Fixed bug which affected all eagerload() and similar options
such that "remote" eager loads, i.e. eagerloads off of a lazy
load such as query(A).options(eagerload(A.b, B.c))
wouldn't eagerload anything, but using eagerload("b.c") would
work fine.
- Query gains an add_columns(*columns) method which is a multi-
version of add_column(col). add_column(col) is future
deprecated.
- Query.join() will detect if the end result will be
"FROM A JOIN A", and will raise an error if so.
- Query.join(Cls.propname, from_joinpoint=True) will check more
carefully that "Cls" is compatible with the current joinpoint,
and act the same way as Query.join("propname", from_joinpoint=True)
in that regard.
- sql
- Added with_hint() method to select() construct. Specify
a table/alias, hint text, and optional dialect name, and
"hints" will be rendered in the appropriate place in the
statement. Works for Oracle, Sybase, MySQL. [ticket:921]
- Fixed bug introduced in 0.6beta2 where column labels would
render inside of column expressions already assigned a label.
[ticket:1747]
- postgresql
- The psycopg2 dialect will log NOTICE messages via the
"sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql" logger name.
[ticket:877]
- the TIME and TIMESTAMP types are now availble from the
postgresql dialect directly, which add the PG-specific
argument 'precision' to both. 'precision' and
'timezone' are correctly reflected for both TIME and
TIMEZONE types. [ticket:997]
- mysql
- No longer guessing that TINYINT(1) should be BOOLEAN
when reflecting - TINYINT(1) is returned. Use Boolean/
BOOLEAN in table definition to get boolean conversion
behavior. [ticket:1752]
- oracle
- The Oracle dialect will issue VARCHAR type definitions
using character counts, i.e. VARCHAR2(50 CHAR), so that
the column is sized in terms of characters and not bytes.
Column reflection of character types will also use
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.CHAR_LENGTH instead of
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS.DATA_LENGTH. Both of these behaviors take
effect when the server version is 9 or higher - for
version 8, the old behaviors are used. [ticket:1744]
- declarative
- Using a mixin won't break if the mixin implements an
unpredictable __getattribute__(), i.e. Zope interfaces.
[ticket:1746]
- Using @classdecorator and similar on mixins to define
__tablename__, __table_args__, etc. now works if
the method references attributes on the ultimate
subclass. [ticket:1749]
- relationships and columns with foreign keys aren't
allowed on declarative mixins, sorry. [ticket:1751]
- ext
- The sqlalchemy.orm.shard module now becomes an extension,
sqlalchemy.ext.horizontal_shard. The old import
works with a deprecation warning.
0.6beta2
========
- py3k
- Improved the installation/test setup regarding Python 3,
now that Distribute runs on Py3k. distribute_setup.py
is now included. See README.py3k for Python 3 installation/
testing instructions.
- orm
- The official name for the relation() function is now
relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational
algebra term. relation() however will remain available
in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
- Added "version_id_generator" argument to Mapper, this is a
callable that, given the current value of the "version_id_col",
returns the next version number. Can be used for alternate
versioning schemes such as uuid, timestamps. [ticket:1692]
- added "lockmode" kw argument to Session.refresh(), will
pass through the string value to Query the same as
in with_lockmode(), will also do version check for a
version_id_col-enabled mapping.
- Fixed bug whereby calling query(A).join(A.bs).add_entity(B)
in a joined inheritance scenario would double-add B as a
target and produce an invalid query. [ticket:1188]
- Fixed bug in session.rollback() which involved not removing
formerly "pending" objects from the session before
re-integrating "deleted" objects, typically occured with
natural primary keys. If there was a primary key conflict
between them, the attach of the deleted would fail
internally. The formerly "pending" objects are now expunged
first. [ticket:1674]
- Removed a lot of logging that nobody really cares about,
logging that remains will respond to live changes in the
log level. No significant overhead is added. [ticket:1719]
- Fixed bug in session.merge() which prevented dict-like
collections from merging.
- session.merge() works with relations that specifically
don't include "merge" in their cascade options - the target
is ignored completely.
- session.merge() will not expire existing scalar attributes
on an existing target if the target has a value for that
attribute, even if the incoming merged doesn't have
a value for the attribute. This prevents unnecessary loads
on existing items. Will still mark the attr as expired
if the destination doesn't have the attr, though, which
fulfills some contracts of deferred cols. [ticket:1681]
- The "allow_null_pks" flag is now called "allow_partial_pks",
defaults to True, acts like it did in 0.5 again. Except,
it also is implemented within merge() such that a SELECT
won't be issued for an incoming instance with partially
NULL primary key if the flag is False. [ticket:1680]
- Fixed bug in 0.6-reworked "many-to-one" optimizations
such that a many-to-one that is against a non-primary key
column on the remote table (i.e. foreign key against a
UNIQUE column) will pull the "old" value in from the
database during a change, since if it's in the session
we will need it for proper history/backref accounting,
and we can't pull from the local identity map on a
non-primary key column. [ticket:1737]
- fixed internal error which would occur if calling has()
or similar complex expression on a single-table inheritance
relation(). [ticket:1731]
- query.one() no longer applies LIMIT to the query, this to
ensure that it fully counts all object identities present
in the result, even in the case where joins may conceal
multiple identities for two or more rows. As a bonus,
one() can now also be called with a query that issued
from_statement() to start with since it no longer modifies
the query. [ticket:1688]
- query.get() now returns None if queried for an identifier
that is present in the identity map with a different class
than the one requested, i.e. when using polymorphic loading.
[ticket:1727]
- A major fix in query.join(), when the "on" clause is an
attribute of an aliased() construct, but there is already
an existing join made out to a compatible target, query properly
joins to the right aliased() construct instead of sticking
onto the right side of the existing join. [ticket:1706]
- Slight improvement to the fix for [ticket:1362] to not issue
needless updates of the primary key column during a so-called
"row switch" operation, i.e. add + delete of two objects
with the same PK.
- Now uses sqlalchemy.orm.exc.DetachedInstanceError when an
attribute load or refresh action fails due to object
being detached from any Session. UnboundExecutionError
is specific to engines bound to sessions and statements.
- Query called in the context of an expression will render
disambiguating labels in all cases. Note that this does
not apply to the existing .statement and .subquery()
accessor/method, which still honors the .with_labels()
setting that defaults to False.
- Query.union() retains disambiguating labels within the
returned statement, thus avoiding various SQL composition
errors which can result from column name conflicts.
[ticket:1676]
- Fixed bug in attribute history that inadvertently invoked
__eq__ on mapped instances.
- Some internal streamlining of object loading grants a
small speedup for large results, estimates are around
10-15%. Gave the "state" internals a good solid
cleanup with less complexity, datamembers,
method calls, blank dictionary creates.
- Documentation clarification for query.delete()
[ticket:1689]
- Fixed cascade bug in many-to-one relation() when attribute
was set to None, introduced in r6711 (cascade deleted
items into session during add()).
- Calling query.order_by() or query.distinct() before calling
query.select_from(), query.with_polymorphic(), or
query.from_statement() raises an exception now instead of
silently dropping those criterion. [ticket:1736]
- query.scalar() now raises an exception if more than one
row is returned. All other behavior remains the same.
[ticket:1735]
- Fixed bug which caused "row switch" logic, that is an
INSERT and DELETE replaced by an UPDATE, to fail when
version_id_col was in use. [ticket:1692]
- sql
- join() will now simulate a NATURAL JOIN by default. Meaning,
if the left side is a join, it will attempt to join the right
side to the rightmost side of the left first, and not raise
any exceptions about ambiguous join conditions if successful
even if there are further join targets across the rest of
the left. [ticket:1714]
- The most common result processors conversion function were
moved to the new "processors" module. Dialect authors are
encouraged to use those functions whenever they correspond
to their needs instead of implementing custom ones.
- SchemaType and subclasses Boolean, Enum are now serializable,
including their ddl listener and other event callables.
[ticket:1694] [ticket:1698]
- Some platforms will now interpret certain literal values
as non-bind parameters, rendered literally into the SQL
statement. This to support strict SQL-92 rules that are
enforced by some platforms including MS-SQL and Sybase.
In this model, bind parameters aren't allowed in the
columns clause of a SELECT, nor are certain ambiguous
expressions like "?=?". When this mode is enabled, the base
compiler will render the binds as inline literals, but only across
strings and numeric values. Other types such as dates
will raise an error, unless the dialect subclass defines
a literal rendering function for those. The bind parameter
must have an embedded literal value already or an error
is raised (i.e. won't work with straight bindparam('x')).
Dialects can also expand upon the areas where binds are not
accepted, such as within argument lists of functions
(which don't work on MS-SQL when native SQL binding is used).
- Added "unicode_errors" parameter to String, Unicode, etc.
Behaves like the 'errors' keyword argument to
the standard library's string.decode() functions. This flag
requires that `convert_unicode` is set to `"force"` - otherwise,
SQLAlchemy is not guaranteed to handle the task of unicode
conversion. Note that this flag adds significant performance
overhead to row-fetching operations for backends that already
return unicode objects natively (which most DBAPIs do). This
flag should only be used as an absolute last resort for reading
strings from a column with varied or corrupted encodings,
which only applies to databases that accept invalid encodings
in the first place (i.e. MySQL. *not* PG, Sqlite, etc.)
- Added math negation operator support, -x.
- FunctionElement subclasses are now directly executable the
same way any func.foo() construct is, with automatic
SELECT being applied when passed to execute().
- The "type" and "bind" keyword arguments of a func.foo()
construct are now local to "func." constructs and are
not part of the FunctionElement base class, allowing
a "type" to be handled in a custom constructor or
class-level variable.
- Restored the keys() method to ResultProxy.
- The type/expression system now does a more complete job
of determining the return type from an expression
as well as the adaptation of the Python operator into
a SQL operator, based on the full left/right/operator
of the given expression. In particular
the date/time/interval system created for Postgresql
EXTRACT in [ticket:1647] has now been generalized into
the type system. The previous behavior which often
occured of an expression "column + literal" forcing
the type of "literal" to be the same as that of "column"
will now usually not occur - the type of
"literal" is first derived from the Python type of the
literal, assuming standard native Python types + date
types, before falling back to that of the known type
on the other side of the expression. If the
"fallback" type is compatible (i.e. CHAR from String),
the literal side will use that. TypeDecorator
types override this by default to coerce the "literal"
side unconditionally, which can be changed by implementing
the coerce_compared_value() method. Also part of
[ticket:1683].
- Made sqlalchemy.sql.expressions.Executable part of public
API, used for any expression construct that can be sent to
execute(). FunctionElement now inherits Executable so that
it gains execution_options(), which are also propagated
to the select() that's generated within execute().
Executable in turn subclasses _Generative which marks
any ClauseElement that supports the @_generative
decorator - these may also become "public" for the benefit
of the compiler extension at some point.
- A change to the solution for [ticket:1579] - an end-user
defined bind parameter name that directly conflicts with
a column-named bind generated directly from the SET or
VALUES clause of an update/insert generates a compile error.
This reduces call counts and eliminates some cases where
undesirable name conflicts could still occur.
- Column() requires a type if it has no foreign keys (this is
not new). An error is now raised if a Column() has no type
and no foreign keys. [ticket:1705]
- the "scale" argument of the Numeric() type is honored when
coercing a returned floating point value into a string
on its way to Decimal - this allows accuracy to function
on SQLite, MySQL. [ticket:1717]
- the copy() method of Column now copies over uninitialized
"on table attach" events. Helps with the new declarative
"mixin" capability.
- engines
- Added an optional C extension to speed up the sql layer by
reimplementing RowProxy and the most common result processors.
The actual speedups will depend heavily on your DBAPI and
the mix of datatypes used in your tables, and can vary from
a 30% improvement to more than 200%. It also provides a modest
(~15-20%) indirect improvement to ORM speed for large queries.
Note that it is *not* built/installed by default.
See README for installation instructions.
- the execution sequence pulls all rowcount/last inserted ID
info from the cursor before commit() is called on the
DBAPI connection in an "autocommit" scenario. This helps
mxodbc with rowcount and is probably a good idea overall.
- Opened up logging a bit such that isEnabledFor() is called
more often, so that changes to the log level for engine/pool
will be reflected on next connect. This adds a small
amount of method call overhead. It's negligible and will make
life a lot easier for all those situations when logging
just happens to be configured after create_engine() is called.
[ticket:1719]
- The assert_unicode flag is deprecated. SQLAlchemy will raise
a warning in all cases where it is asked to encode a non-unicode
Python string, as well as when a Unicode or UnicodeType type
is explicitly passed a bytestring. The String type will do nothing
for DBAPIs that already accept Python unicode objects.
- Bind parameters are sent as a tuple instead of a list. Some
backend drivers will not accept bind parameters as a list.
- threadlocal engine wasn't properly closing the connection
upon close() - fixed that.
- Transaction object doesn't rollback or commit if it isn't
"active", allows more accurate nesting of begin/rollback/commit.
- Python unicode objects as binds result in the Unicode type,
not string, thus eliminating a certain class of unicode errors
on drivers that don't support unicode binds.
- Added "logging_name" argument to create_engine(), Pool() constructor
as well as "pool_logging_name" argument to create_engine() which
filters down to that of Pool. Issues the given string name
within the "name" field of logging messages instead of the default
hex identifier string. [ticket:1555]
- The visit_pool() method of Dialect is removed, and replaced with
on_connect(). This method returns a callable which receives
the raw DBAPI connection after each one is created. The callable
is assembled into a first_connect/connect pool listener by the
connection strategy if non-None. Provides a simpler interface
for dialects.
- StaticPool now initializes, disposes and recreates without
opening a new connection - the connection is only opened when
first requested. dispose() also works on AssertionPool now.
[ticket:1728]
- metadata
- Added the ability to strip schema information when using
"tometadata" by passing "schema=None" as an argument. If schema
is not specified then the table's schema is retained.
[ticket: 1673]
- declarative
- DeclarativeMeta exclusively uses cls.__dict__ (not dict_)
as the source of class information; _as_declarative exclusively
uses the dict_ passed to it as the source of class information
(which when using DeclarativeMeta is cls.__dict__). This should
in theory make it easier for custom metaclasses to modify
the state passed into _as_declarative.
- declarative now accepts mixin classes directly, as a means
to provide common functional and column-based elements on
all subclasses, as well as a means to propagate a fixed
set of __table_args__ or __mapper_args__ to subclasses.
For custom combinations of __table_args__/__mapper_args__ from
an inherited mixin to local, descriptors can now be used.
New details are all up in the Declarative documentation.
Thanks to Chris Withers for putting up with my strife
on this. [ticket:1707]
- the __mapper_args__ dict is copied when propagating to a subclass,
and is taken straight off the class __dict__ to avoid any
propagation from the parent. mapper inheritance already
propagates the things you want from the parent mapper.
[ticket:1393]
- An exception is raised when a single-table subclass specifies
a column that is already present on the base class.
[ticket:1732]
- mysql
- Fixed reflection bug whereby when COLLATE was present,
nullable flag and server defaults would not be reflected.
[ticket:1655]
- Fixed reflection of TINYINT(1) "boolean" columns defined with
integer flags like UNSIGNED.
- Further fixes for the mysql-connector dialect. [ticket:1668]
- Composite PK table on InnoDB where the "autoincrement" column
isn't first will emit an explicit "KEY" phrase within
CREATE TABLE thereby avoiding errors, [ticket:1496]
- Added reflection/create table support for a wide range
of MySQL keywords. [ticket:1634]
- Fixed import error which could occur reflecting tables on
a Windows host [ticket:1580]
- mssql
- Re-established support for the pymssql dialect.
- Various fixes for implicit returning, reflection,
etc. - the MS-SQL dialects aren't quite complete
in 0.6 yet (but are close)
- Added basic support for mxODBC [ticket:1710].
- Removed the text_as_varchar option.
- oracle
- "out" parameters require a type that is supported by
cx_oracle. An error will be raised if no cx_oracle
type can be found.
- Oracle 'DATE' now does not perform any result processing,
as the DATE type in Oracle stores full date+time objects,
that's what you'll get. Note that the generic types.Date
type *will* still call value.date() on incoming values,
however. When reflecting a table, the reflected type
will be 'DATE'.
- Added preliminary support for Oracle's WITH_UNICODE
mode. At the very least this establishes initial
support for cx_Oracle with Python 3. When WITH_UNICODE
mode is used in Python 2.xx, a large and scary warning
is emitted asking that the user seriously consider
the usage of this difficult mode of operation.
[ticket:1670]
- The except_() method now renders as MINUS on Oracle,
which is more or less equivalent on that platform.
[ticket:1712]
- Added support for rendering and reflecting
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, i.e. TIMESTAMP(timezone=True).
[ticket:651]
- Oracle INTERVAL type can now be reflected.
- sqlite
- Added "native_datetime=True" flag to create_engine().
This will cause the DATE and TIMESTAMP types to skip
all bind parameter and result row processing, under
the assumption that PARSE_DECLTYPES has been enabled
on the connection. Note that this is not entirely
compatible with the "func.current_date()", which
will be returned as a string. [ticket:1685]
- sybase
- Implemented a preliminary working dialect for Sybase,
with sub-implementations for Python-Sybase as well
as Pyodbc. Handles table
creates/drops and basic round trip functionality.
Does not yet include reflection or comprehensive
support of unicode/special expressions/etc.
- examples
- Changed the beaker cache example a bit to have a separate
RelationCache option for lazyload caching. This object
does a lookup among any number of potential attributes
more efficiently by grouping several into a common structure.
Both FromCache and RelationCache are simpler individually.
- documentation
- Major cleanup work in the docs to link class, function, and
method names into the API docs. [ticket:1700/1702/1703]
0.6beta1
========
- Major Release
- For the full set of feature descriptions, see
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/06Migration .
This document is a work in progress.
- All bug fixes and feature enhancements from the most
recent 0.5 version and below are also included within 0.6.
- Platforms targeted now include Python 2.4/2.5/2.6, Python
3.1, Jython2.5.
- orm
- Changes to query.update() and query.delete():
- the 'expire' option on query.update() has been renamed to
'fetch', thus matching that of query.delete().
'expire' is deprecated and issues a warning.
- query.update() and query.delete() both default to
'evaluate' for the synchronize strategy.
- the 'synchronize' strategy for update() and delete()
raises an error on failure. There is no implicit fallback
onto "fetch". Failure of evaluation is based on the
structure of criteria, so success/failure is deterministic
based on code structure.
- Enhancements on many-to-one relations:
- many-to-one relations now fire off a lazyload in fewer
cases, including in most cases will not fetch the "old"
value when a new one is replaced.
- many-to-one relation to a joined-table subclass now uses
get() for a simple load (known as the "use_get"
condition), i.e. Related->Sub(Base), without the need to
redefine the primaryjoin condition in terms of the base
table. [ticket:1186]
- specifying a foreign key with a declarative column, i.e.
ForeignKey(MyRelatedClass.id) doesn't break the "use_get"
condition from taking place [ticket:1492]
- relation(), eagerload(), and eagerload_all() now feature
an option called "innerjoin". Specify `True` or `False` to
control whether an eager join is constructed as an INNER
or OUTER join. Default is `False` as always. The mapper
options will override whichever setting is specified on
relation(). Should generally be set for many-to-one, not
nullable foreign key relations to allow improved join
performance. [ticket:1544]
- the behavior of eagerloading such that the main query is
wrapped in a subquery when LIMIT/OFFSET are present now
makes an exception for the case when all eager loads are
many-to-one joins. In those cases, the eager joins are
against the parent table directly along with the
limit/offset without the extra overhead of a subquery,
since a many-to-one join does not add rows to the result.
- Enhancements / Changes on Session.merge():
- the "dont_load=True" flag on Session.merge() is deprecated
and is now "load=False".
- Session.merge() is performance optimized, using half the
call counts for "load=False" mode compared to 0.5 and
significantly fewer SQL queries in the case of collections
for "load=True" mode.
- merge() will not issue a needless merge of attributes if the
given instance is the same instance which is already present.
- merge() now also merges the "options" associated with a given
state, i.e. those passed through query.options() which follow
along with an instance, such as options to eagerly- or
lazyily- load various attributes. This is essential for
the construction of highly integrated caching schemes. This
is a subtle behavioral change vs. 0.5.
- A bug was fixed regarding the serialization of the "loader
path" present on an instance's state, which is also necessary
when combining the usage of merge() with serialized state
and associated options that should be preserved.
- The all new merge() is showcased in a new comprehensive
example of how to integrate Beaker with SQLAlchemy. See
the notes in the "examples" note below.
- Primary key values can now be changed on a joined-table inheritance
object, and ON UPDATE CASCADE will be taken into account when
the flush happens. Set the new "passive_updates" flag to False
on mapper() when using SQLite or MySQL/MyISAM. [ticket:1362]
- flush() now detects when a primary key column was updated by
an ON UPDATE CASCADE operation from another primary key, and
can then locate the row for a subsequent UPDATE on the new PK
value. This occurs when a relation() is there to establish
the relationship as well as passive_updates=True. [ticket:1671]
- the "save-update" cascade will now cascade the pending *removed*
values from a scalar or collection attribute into the new session
during an add() operation. This so that the flush() operation
will also delete or modify rows of those disconnected items.
- Using a "dynamic" loader with a "secondary" table now produces
a query where the "secondary" table is *not* aliased. This
allows the secondary Table object to be used in the "order_by"
attribute of the relation(), and also allows it to be used
in filter criterion against the dynamic relation.
[ticket:1531]
- relation() with uselist=False will emit a warning when
an eager or lazy load locates more than one valid value for
the row. This may be due to primaryjoin/secondaryjoin
conditions which aren't appropriate for an eager LEFT OUTER
JOIN or for other conditions. [ticket:1643]
- an explicit check occurs when a synonym() is used with
map_column=True, when a ColumnProperty (deferred or otherwise)
exists separately in the properties dictionary sent to mapper
with the same keyname. Instead of silently replacing
the existing property (and possible options on that property),
an error is raised. [ticket:1633]
- a "dynamic" loader sets up its query criterion at construction
time so that the actual query is returned from non-cloning
accessors like "statement".
- the "named tuple" objects returned when iterating a
Query() are now pickleable.
- mapping to a select() construct now requires that you
make an alias() out of it distinctly. This to eliminate
confusion over such issues as [ticket:1542]
- query.join() has been reworked to provide more consistent
behavior and more flexibility (includes [ticket:1537])
- query.select_from() accepts multiple clauses to produce
multiple comma separated entries within the FROM clause.
Useful when selecting from multiple-homed join() clauses.
- query.select_from() also accepts mapped classes, aliased()
constructs, and mappers as arguments. In particular this
helps when querying from multiple joined-table classes to ensure
the full join gets rendered.
- query.get() can be used with a mapping to an outer join
where one or more of the primary key values are None.
[ticket:1135]
- query.from_self(), query.union(), others which do a
"SELECT * from (SELECT...)" type of nesting will do
a better job translating column expressions within the subquery
to the columns clause of the outer query. This is
potentially backwards incompatible with 0.5, in that this
may break queries with literal expressions that do not have labels
applied (i.e. literal('foo'), etc.)
[ticket:1568]
- relation primaryjoin and secondaryjoin now check that they
are column-expressions, not just clause elements. this prohibits
things like FROM expressions being placed there directly.
[ticket:1622]
- `expression.null()` is fully understood the same way
None is when comparing an object/collection-referencing
attribute within query.filter(), filter_by(), etc.
[ticket:1415]
- added "make_transient()" helper function which transforms a
persistent/ detached instance into a transient one (i.e.
deletes the instance_key and removes from any session.)
[ticket:1052]
- the allow_null_pks flag on mapper() is deprecated, and
the feature is turned "on" by default. This means that
a row which has a non-null value for any of its primary key
columns will be considered an identity. The need for this
scenario typically only occurs when mapping to an outer join.
[ticket:1339]
- the mechanics of "backref" have been fully merged into the
finer grained "back_populates" system, and take place entirely
within the _generate_backref() method of RelationProperty. This
makes the initialization procedure of RelationProperty
simpler and allows easier propagation of settings (such as from
subclasses of RelationProperty) into the reverse reference.
The internal BackRef() is gone and backref() returns a plain
tuple that is understood by RelationProperty.
- The version_id_col feature on mapper() will raise a warning when
used with dialects that don't support "rowcount" adequately.
[ticket:1569]
- added "execution_options()" to Query, to so options can be
passed to the resulting statement. Currently only
Select-statements have these options, and the only option
used is "stream_results", and the only dialect which knows
"stream_results" is psycopg2.
- Query.yield_per() will set the "stream_results" statement
option automatically.
- Deprecated or removed:
* 'allow_null_pks' flag on mapper() is deprecated. It does
nothing now and the setting is "on" in all cases.
* 'transactional' flag on sessionmaker() and others is
removed. Use 'autocommit=True' to indicate 'transactional=False'.
* 'polymorphic_fetch' argument on mapper() is removed.
Loading can be controlled using the 'with_polymorphic'
option.
* 'select_table' argument on mapper() is removed. Use
'with_polymorphic=("*", <some selectable>)' for this
functionality.
* 'proxy' argument on synonym() is removed. This flag
did nothing throughout 0.5, as the "proxy generation"
behavior is now automatic.
* Passing a single list of elements to eagerload(),
eagerload_all(), contains_eager(), lazyload(),
defer(), and undefer() instead of multiple positional
*args is deprecated.
* Passing a single list of elements to query.order_by(),
query.group_by(), query.join(), or query.outerjoin()
instead of multiple positional *args is deprecated.
* query.iterate_instances() is removed. Use query.instances().
* Query.query_from_parent() is removed. Use the
sqlalchemy.orm.with_parent() function to produce a
"parent" clause, or alternatively query.with_parent().
* query._from_self() is removed, use query.from_self()
instead.
* the "comparator" argument to composite() is removed.
Use "comparator_factory".
* RelationProperty._get_join() is removed.
* the 'echo_uow' flag on Session is removed. Use
logging on the "sqlalchemy.orm.unitofwork" name.
* session.clear() is removed. use session.expunge_all().
* session.save(), session.update(), session.save_or_update()
are removed. Use session.add() and session.add_all().
* the "objects" flag on session.flush() remains deprecated.
* the "dont_load=True" flag on session.merge() is deprecated
in favor of "load=False".
* ScopedSession.mapper remains deprecated. See the
usage recipe at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/SessionAwareMapper
* passing an InstanceState (internal SQLAlchemy state object) to
attributes.init_collection() or attributes.get_history() is
deprecated. These functions are public API and normally
expect a regular mapped object instance.
* the 'engine' parameter to declarative_base() is removed.
Use the 'bind' keyword argument.
- sql
- the "autocommit" flag on select() and text() as well
as select().autocommit() are deprecated - now call
.execution_options(autocommit=True) on either of those
constructs, also available directly on Connection and orm.Query.
- the autoincrement flag on column now indicates the column
which should be linked to cursor.lastrowid, if that method
is used. See the API docs for details.
- an executemany() now requires that all bound parameter
sets require that all keys are present which are
present in the first bound parameter set. The structure
and behavior of an insert/update statement is very much
determined by the first parameter set, including which
defaults are going to fire off, and a minimum of
guesswork is performed with all the rest so that performance
is not impacted. For this reason defaults would otherwise
silently "fail" for missing parameters, so this is now guarded
against. [ticket:1566]
- returning() support is native to insert(), update(),
delete(). Implementations of varying levels of
functionality exist for Postgresql, Firebird, MSSQL and
Oracle. returning() can be called explicitly with column
expressions which are then returned in the resultset,
usually via fetchone() or first().
insert() constructs will also use RETURNING implicitly to
get newly generated primary key values, if the database
version in use supports it (a version number check is
performed). This occurs if no end-user returning() was
specified.
- union(), intersect(), except() and other "compound" types
of statements have more consistent behavior w.r.t.
parenthesizing. Each compound element embedded within
another will now be grouped with parenthesis - previously,
the first compound element in the list would not be grouped,
as SQLite doesn't like a statement to start with
parenthesis. However, Postgresql in particular has
precedence rules regarding INTERSECT, and it is
more consistent for parenthesis to be applied equally
to all sub-elements. So now, the workaround for SQLite
is also what the workaround for PG was previously -
when nesting compound elements, the first one usually needs
".alias().select()" called on it to wrap it inside
of a subquery. [ticket:1665]
- insert() and update() constructs can now embed bindparam()
objects using names that match the keys of columns. These
bind parameters will circumvent the usual route to those
keys showing up in the VALUES or SET clause of the generated
SQL. [ticket:1579]
- the Binary type now returns data as a Python string
(or a "bytes" type in Python 3), instead of the built-
in "buffer" type. This allows symmetric round trips
of binary data. [ticket:1524]
- Added a tuple_() construct, allows sets of expressions
to be compared to another set, typically with IN against
composite primary keys or similar. Also accepts an
IN with multiple columns. The "scalar select can
have only one column" error message is removed - will
rely upon the database to report problems with
col mismatch.
- User-defined "default" and "onupdate" callables which
accept a context should now call upon
"context.current_parameters" to get at the dictionary
of bind parameters currently being processed. This
dict is available in the same way regardless of
single-execute or executemany-style statement execution.
- multi-part schema names, i.e. with dots such as
"dbo.master", are now rendered in select() labels
with underscores for dots, i.e. "dbo_master_table_column".
This is a "friendly" label that behaves better
in result sets. [ticket:1428]
- removed needless "counter" behavior with select()
labelnames that match a column name in the table,
i.e. generates "tablename_id" for "id", instead of
"tablename_id_1" in an attempt to avoid naming
conflicts, when the table has a column actually
named "tablename_id" - this is because
the labeling logic is always applied to all columns
so a naming conflict will never occur.
- calling expr.in_([]), i.e. with an empty list, emits a warning
before issuing the usual "expr != expr" clause. The
"expr != expr" can be very expensive, and it's preferred
that the user not issue in_() if the list is empty,
instead simply not querying, or modifying the criterion
as appropriate for more complex situations.
[ticket:1628]
- Added "execution_options()" to select()/text(), which set the
default options for the Connection. See the note in "engines".
- Deprecated or removed:
* "scalar" flag on select() is removed, use
select.as_scalar().
* "shortname" attribute on bindparam() is removed.
* postgres_returning, firebird_returning flags on
insert(), update(), delete() are deprecated, use
the new returning() method.
* fold_equivalents flag on join is deprecated (will remain
until [ticket:1131] is implemented)
- engines
- transaction isolation level may be specified with
create_engine(... isolation_level="..."); available on
postgresql and sqlite. [ticket:443]
- Connection has execution_options(), generative method
which accepts keywords that affect how the statement
is executed w.r.t. the DBAPI. Currently supports
"stream_results", causes psycopg2 to use a server
side cursor for that statement, as well as
"autocommit", which is the new location for the "autocommit"
option from select() and text(). select() and
text() also have .execution_options() as well as
ORM Query().
- fixed the import for entrypoint-driven dialects to
not rely upon silly tb_info trick to determine import
error status. [ticket:1630]
- added first() method to ResultProxy, returns first row and
closes result set immediately.
- RowProxy objects are now pickleable, i.e. the object returned
by result.fetchone(), result.fetchall() etc.
- RowProxy no longer has a close() method, as the row no longer
maintains a reference to the parent. Call close() on
the parent ResultProxy instead, or use autoclose.
- ResultProxy internals have been overhauled to greatly reduce
method call counts when fetching columns. Can provide a large
speed improvement (up to more than 100%) when fetching large
result sets. The improvement is larger when fetching columns
that have no type-level processing applied and when using
results as tuples (instead of as dictionaries). Many
thanks to Elixir's Gaëtan de Menten for this dramatic
improvement ! [ticket:1586]
- Databases which rely upon postfetch of "last inserted id"
to get at a generated sequence value (i.e. MySQL, MS-SQL)
now work correctly when there is a composite primary key
where the "autoincrement" column is not the first primary
key column in the table.
- the last_inserted_ids() method has been renamed to the
descriptor "inserted_primary_key".
- setting echo=False on create_engine() now sets the loglevel
to WARN instead of NOTSET. This so that logging can be
disabled for a particular engine even if logging
for "sqlalchemy.engine" is enabled overall. Note that the
default setting of "echo" is `None`. [ticket:1554]
- ConnectionProxy now has wrapper methods for all transaction
lifecycle events, including begin(), rollback(), commit()
begin_nested(), begin_prepared(), prepare(), release_savepoint(),
etc.
- Connection pool logging now uses both INFO and DEBUG
log levels for logging. INFO is for major events such
as invalidated connections, DEBUG for all the acquire/return
logging. `echo_pool` can be False, None, True or "debug"
the same way as `echo` works.
- All pyodbc-dialects now support extra pyodbc-specific
kw arguments 'ansi', 'unicode_results', 'autocommit'.
[ticket:1621]
- the "threadlocal" engine has been rewritten and simplified
and now supports SAVEPOINT operations.
- deprecated or removed
* result.last_inserted_ids() is deprecated. Use
result.inserted_primary_key
* dialect.get_default_schema_name(connection) is now
public via dialect.default_schema_name.
* the "connection" argument from engine.transaction() and
engine.run_callable() is removed - Connection itself
now has those methods. All four methods accept
*args and **kwargs which are passed to the given callable,
as well as the operating connection.
- schema
- the `__contains__()` method of `MetaData` now accepts
strings or `Table` objects as arguments. If given
a `Table`, the argument is converted to `table.key` first,
i.e. "[schemaname.]<tablename>" [ticket:1541]
- deprecated MetaData.connect() and
ThreadLocalMetaData.connect() have been removed - send
the "bind" attribute to bind a metadata.
- deprecated metadata.table_iterator() method removed (use
sorted_tables)
- deprecated PassiveDefault - use DefaultClause.
- the "metadata" argument is removed from DefaultGenerator
and subclasses, but remains locally present on Sequence,
which is a standalone construct in DDL.
- Removed public mutability from Index and Constraint
objects:
- ForeignKeyConstraint.append_element()
- Index.append_column()
- UniqueConstraint.append_column()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.add()
- PrimaryKeyConstraint.remove()
These should be constructed declaratively (i.e. in one
construction).
- The "start" and "increment" attributes on Sequence now
generate "START WITH" and "INCREMENT BY" by default,
on Oracle and Postgresql. Firebird doesn't support
these keywords right now. [ticket:1545]
- UniqueConstraint, Index, PrimaryKeyConstraint all accept
lists of column names or column objects as arguments.
- Other removed things:
- Table.key (no idea what this was for)
- Table.primary_key is not assignable - use
table.append_constraint(PrimaryKeyConstraint(...))
- Column.bind (get via column.table.bind)
- Column.metadata (get via column.table.metadata)
- Column.sequence (use column.default)
- ForeignKey(constraint=some_parent) (is now private _constraint)
- The use_alter flag on ForeignKey is now a shortcut option
for operations that can be hand-constructed using the
DDL() event system. A side effect of this refactor is
that ForeignKeyConstraint objects with use_alter=True
will *not* be emitted on SQLite, which does not support
ALTER for foreign keys.
- ForeignKey and ForeignKeyConstraint objects now correctly
copy() all their public keyword arguments. [ticket:1605]
- Reflection/Inspection
- Table reflection has been expanded and generalized into
a new API called "sqlalchemy.engine.reflection.Inspector".
The Inspector object provides fine-grained information about
a wide variety of schema information, with room for expansion,
including table names, column names, view definitions, sequences,
indexes, etc.
- Views are now reflectable as ordinary Table objects. The same
Table constructor is used, with the caveat that "effective"
primary and foreign key constraints aren't part of the reflection
results; these have to be specified explicitly if desired.
- The existing autoload=True system now uses Inspector underneath
so that each dialect need only return "raw" data about tables
and other objects - Inspector is the single place that information
is compiled into Table objects so that consistency is at a maximum.
- DDL
- the DDL system has been greatly expanded. the DDL() class
now extends the more generic DDLElement(), which forms the basis
of many new constructs:
- CreateTable()
- DropTable()
- AddConstraint()
- DropConstraint()
- CreateIndex()
- DropIndex()
- CreateSequence()
- DropSequence()
These support "on" and "execute-at()" just like plain DDL()
does. User-defined DDLElement subclasses can be created and
linked to a compiler using the sqlalchemy.ext.compiler extension.
- The signature of the "on" callable passed to DDL() and
DDLElement() is revised as follows:
"ddl" - the DDLElement object itself.
"event" - the string event name.
"target" - previously "schema_item", the Table or
MetaData object triggering the event.
"connection" - the Connection object in use for the operation.
**kw - keyword arguments. In the case of MetaData before/after
create/drop, the list of Table objects for which
CREATE/DROP DDL is to be issued is passed as the kw
argument "tables". This is necessary for metadata-level
DDL that is dependent on the presence of specific tables.
- the "schema_item" attribute of DDL has been renamed to
"target".
- dialect refactor
- Dialect modules are now broken into database dialects
plus DBAPI implementations. Connect URLs are now
preferred to be specified using dialect+driver://...,
i.e. "mysql+mysqldb://scott:tiger@localhost/test". See
the 0.6 documentation for examples.
- the setuptools entrypoint for external dialects is now
called "sqlalchemy.dialects".
- the "owner" keyword argument is removed from Table. Use
"schema" to represent any namespaces to be prepended to
the table name.
- server_version_info becomes a static attribute.
- dialects receive an initialize() event on initial
connection to determine connection properties.
- dialects receive a visit_pool event have an opportunity
to establish pool listeners.
- cached TypeEngine classes are cached per-dialect class
instead of per-dialect.
- new UserDefinedType should be used as a base class for
new types, which preserves the 0.5 behavior of
get_col_spec().
- The result_processor() method of all type classes now
accepts a second argument "coltype", which is the DBAPI
type argument from cursor.description. This argument
can help some types decide on the most efficient processing
of result values.
- Deprecated Dialect.get_params() removed.
- Dialect.get_rowcount() has been renamed to a descriptor
"rowcount", and calls cursor.rowcount directly. Dialects
which need to hardwire a rowcount in for certain calls
should override the method to provide different behavior.
- DefaultRunner and subclasses have been removed. The job
of this object has been simplified and moved into
ExecutionContext. Dialects which support sequences should
add a `fire_sequence()` method to their execution context
implementation. [ticket:1566]
- Functions and operators generated by the compiler now use
(almost) regular dispatch functions of the form
"visit_<opname>" and "visit_<funcname>_fn" to provide
customed processing. This replaces the need to copy the
"functions" and "operators" dictionaries in compiler
subclasses with straightforward visitor methods, and also
allows compiler subclasses complete control over
rendering, as the full _Function or _BinaryExpression
object is passed in.
- postgresql
- New dialects: pg8000, zxjdbc, and pypostgresql
on py3k.
- The "postgres" dialect is now named "postgresql" !
Connection strings look like:
postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test
postgresql+pg8000://scott:tiger@localhost/test
The "postgres" name remains for backwards compatiblity
in the following ways:
- There is a "postgres.py" dummy dialect which
allows old URLs to work, i.e.
postgres://scott:tiger@localhost/test
- The "postgres" name can be imported from the old
"databases" module, i.e. "from
sqlalchemy.databases import postgres" as well as
"dialects", "from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgres
import base as pg", will send a deprecation
warning.
- Special expression arguments are now named
"postgresql_returning" and "postgresql_where", but
the older "postgres_returning" and
"postgres_where" names still work with a
deprecation warning.
- "postgresql_where" now accepts SQL expressions which
can also include literals, which will be quoted as needed.
- The psycopg2 dialect now uses psycopg2's "unicode extension"
on all new connections, which allows all String/Text/etc.
types to skip the need to post-process bytestrings into
unicode (an expensive step due to its volume). Other
dialects which return unicode natively (pg8000, zxjdbc)
also skip unicode post-processing.
- Added new ENUM type, which exists as a schema-level
construct and extends the generic Enum type. Automatically
associates itself with tables and their parent metadata
to issue the appropriate CREATE TYPE/DROP TYPE
commands as needed, supports unicode labels, supports
reflection. [ticket:1511]
- INTERVAL supports an optional "precision" argument
corresponding to the argument that PG accepts.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
psycopg2 can't handle a bind parameter name of
%(foobar)s however and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead
just to treat that one non-existent use case.
[ticket:1279]
- Inserting NULL into a primary key + foreign key column
will allow the "not null constraint" error to raise,
not an attempt to execute a nonexistent "col_id_seq"
sequence. [ticket:1516]
- autoincrement SELECT statements, i.e. those which
select from a procedure that modifies rows, now work
with server-side cursor mode (the named cursor isn't
used for such statements.)
- postgresql dialect can properly detect pg "devel" version
strings, i.e. "8.5devel" [ticket:1636]
- The psycopg2 now respects the statement option
"stream_results". This option overrides the connection setting
"server_side_cursors". If true, server side cursors will be
used for the statement. If false, they will not be used, even
if "server_side_cursors" is true on the
connection. [ticket:1619]
- mysql
- New dialects: oursql, a new native dialect,
MySQL Connector/Python, a native Python port of MySQLdb,
and of course zxjdbc on Jython.
- VARCHAR/NVARCHAR will not render without a length, raises
an error before passing to MySQL. Doesn't impact
CAST since VARCHAR is not allowed in MySQL CAST anyway,
the dialect renders CHAR/NCHAR in those cases.
- all the _detect_XXX() functions now run once underneath
dialect.initialize()
- somewhat better support for % signs in table/column names;
MySQLdb can't handle % signs in SQL when executemany() is used,
and SQLA doesn't want to add overhead just to treat that one
non-existent use case. [ticket:1279]
- the BINARY and MSBinary types now generate "BINARY" in all
cases. Omitting the "length" parameter will generate
"BINARY" with no length. Use BLOB to generate an unlengthed
binary column.
- the "quoting='quoted'" argument to MSEnum/ENUM is deprecated.
It's best to rely upon the automatic quoting.
- ENUM now subclasses the new generic Enum type, and also handles
unicode values implicitly, if the given labelnames are unicode
objects.
- a column of type TIMESTAMP now defaults to NULL if
"nullable=False" is not passed to Column(), and no default
is present. This is now consistent with all other types,
and in the case of TIMESTAMP explictly renders "NULL"
due to MySQL's "switching" of default nullability
for TIMESTAMP columns. [ticket:1539]
- oracle
- unit tests pass 100% with cx_oracle !
- support for cx_Oracle's "native unicode" mode which does
not require NLS_LANG to be set. Use the latest 5.0.2 or
later of cx_oracle.
- an NCLOB type is added to the base types.
- use_ansi=False won't leak into the FROM/WHERE clause of
a statement that's selecting from a subquery that also
uses JOIN/OUTERJOIN.
- added native INTERVAL type to the dialect. This supports
only the DAY TO SECOND interval type so far due to lack
of support in cx_oracle for YEAR TO MONTH. [ticket:1467]
- usage of the CHAR type results in cx_oracle's
FIXED_CHAR dbapi type being bound to statements.
- the Oracle dialect now features NUMBER which intends
to act justlike Oracle's NUMBER type. It is the primary
numeric type returned by table reflection and attempts
to return Decimal()/float/int based on the precision/scale
parameters. [ticket:885]
- func.char_length is a generic function for LENGTH
- ForeignKey() which includes onupdate=<value> will emit a
warning, not emit ON UPDATE CASCADE which is unsupported
by oracle
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- using types.BigInteger with Oracle will generate
NUMBER(19) [ticket:1125]
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- firebird
- the keys() method of RowProxy() now returns the result
column names *normalized* to be SQLAlchemy case
insensitive names. This means they will be lower case for
case insensitive names, whereas the DBAPI would normally
return them as UPPERCASE names. This allows row keys() to
be compatible with further SQLAlchemy operations.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- "case sensitivity" feature will detect an all-lowercase
case-sensitive column name during reflect and add
"quote=True" to the generated Column, so that proper
quoting is maintained.
- mssql
- MSSQL + Pyodbc + FreeTDS now works for the most part,
with possible exceptions regarding binary data as well as
unicode schema identifiers.
- the "has_window_funcs" flag is removed. LIMIT/OFFSET
usage will use ROW NUMBER as always, and if on an older
version of SQL Server, the operation fails. The behavior
is exactly the same except the error is raised by SQL
server instead of the dialect, and no flag setting is
required to enable it.
- the "auto_identity_insert" flag is removed. This feature
always takes effect when an INSERT statement overrides a
column that is known to have a sequence on it. As with
"has_window_funcs", if the underlying driver doesn't
support this, then you can't do this operation in any
case, so there's no point in having a flag.
- using new dialect.initialize() feature to set up
version-dependent behavior.
- removed references to sequence which is no longer used.
implicit identities in mssql work the same as implicit
sequences on any other dialects. Explicit sequences are
enabled through the use of "default=Sequence()". See
the MSSQL dialect documentation for more information.
- sqlite
- DATE, TIME and DATETIME types can now take optional storage_format
and regexp argument. storage_format can be used to store those types
using a custom string format. regexp allows to use a custom regular
expression to match string values from the database.
- Time and DateTime types now use by a default a stricter regular
expression to match strings from the database. Use the regexp
argument if you are using data stored in a legacy format.
- __legacy_microseconds__ on SQLite Time and DateTime types is not
supported anymore. You should use the storage_format argument
instead.
- Date, Time and DateTime types are now stricter in what they accept as
bind parameters: Date type only accepts date objects (and datetime
ones, because they inherit from date), Time only accepts time
objects, and DateTime only accepts date and datetime objects.
- Table() supports a keyword argument "sqlite_autoincrement", which
applies the SQLite keyword "AUTOINCREMENT" to the single integer
primary key column when generating DDL. Will prevent generation of
a separate PRIMARY KEY constraint. [ticket:1016]
- new dialects
- postgresql+pg8000
- postgresql+pypostgresql (partial)
- postgresql+zxjdbc
- mysql+pyodbc
- mysql+zxjdbc
- types
- The construction of types within dialects has been totally
overhauled. Dialects now define publically available types
as UPPERCASE names exclusively, and internal implementation
types using underscore identifiers (i.e. are private).
The system by which types are expressed in SQL and DDL
has been moved to the compiler system. This has the
effect that there are much fewer type objects within
most dialects. A detailed document on this architecture
for dialect authors is in
lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/type_migration_guidelines.txt .
- Types no longer make any guesses as to default
parameters. In particular, Numeric, Float, NUMERIC,
FLOAT, DECIMAL don't generate any length or scale unless
specified.
- types.Binary is renamed to types.LargeBinary, it only
produces BLOB, BYTEA, or a similar "long binary" type.
New base BINARY and VARBINARY
types have been added to access these MySQL/MS-SQL specific
types in an agnostic way [ticket:1664].
- String/Text/Unicode types now skip the unicode() check
on each result column value if the dialect has
detected the DBAPI as returning Python unicode objects
natively. This check is issued on first connect
using "SELECT CAST 'some text' AS VARCHAR(10)" or
equivalent, then checking if the returned object
is a Python unicode. This allows vast performance
increases for native-unicode DBAPIs, including
pysqlite/sqlite3, psycopg2, and pg8000.
- Most types result processors have been checked for possible speed
improvements. Specifically, the following generic types have been
optimized, resulting in varying speed improvements:
Unicode, PickleType, Interval, TypeDecorator, Binary.
Also the following dbapi-specific implementations have been improved:
Time, Date and DateTime on Sqlite, ARRAY on Postgresql,
Time on MySQL, Numeric(as_decimal=False) on MySQL, oursql and
pypostgresql, DateTime on cx_oracle and LOB-based types on cx_oracle.
- Reflection of types now returns the exact UPPERCASE
type within types.py, or the UPPERCASE type within
the dialect itself if the type is not a standard SQL
type. This means reflection now returns more accurate
information about reflected types.
- Added a new Enum generic type. Enum is a schema-aware object
to support databases which require specific DDL in order to
use enum or equivalent; in the case of PG it handles the
details of `CREATE TYPE`, and on other databases without
native enum support will by generate VARCHAR + an inline CHECK
constraint to enforce the enum.
[ticket:1109] [ticket:1511]
- The Interval type includes a "native" flag which controls
if native INTERVAL types (postgresql + oracle) are selected
if available, or not. "day_precision" and "second_precision"
arguments are also added which propagate as appropriately
to these native types. Related to [ticket:1467].
- The Boolean type, when used on a backend that doesn't
have native boolean support, will generate a CHECK
constraint "col IN (0, 1)" along with the int/smallint-
based column type. This can be switched off if
desired with create_constraint=False.
Note that MySQL has no native boolean *or* CHECK constraint
support so this feature isn't available on that platform.
[ticket:1589]
- PickleType now uses == for comparison of values when
mutable=True, unless the "comparator" argument with a
comparsion function is specified to the type. Objects
being pickled will be compared based on identity (which
defeats the purpose of mutable=True) if __eq__() is not
overridden or a comparison function is not provided.
- The default "precision" and "scale" arguments of Numeric
and Float have been removed and now default to None.
NUMERIC and FLOAT will be rendered with no numeric
arguments by default unless these values are provided.
- AbstractType.get_search_list() is removed - the games
that was used for are no longer necessary.
- Added a generic BigInteger type, compiles to
BIGINT or NUMBER(19). [ticket:1125]
-ext
- sqlsoup has been overhauled to explicitly support an 0.5 style
session, using autocommit=False, autoflush=True. Default
behavior of SQLSoup now requires the usual usage of commit()
and rollback(), which have been added to its interface. An
explcit Session or scoped_session can be passed to the
constructor, allowing these arguments to be overridden.
- sqlsoup db.<sometable>.update() and delete() now call
query(cls).update() and delete(), respectively.
- sqlsoup now has execute() and connection(), which call upon
the Session methods of those names, ensuring that the bind is
in terms of the SqlSoup object's bind.
- sqlsoup objects no longer have the 'query' attribute - it's
not needed for sqlsoup's usage paradigm and it gets in the
way of a column that is actually named 'query'.
- The signature of the proxy_factory callable passed to
association_proxy is now (lazy_collection, creator,
value_attr, association_proxy), adding a fourth argument
that is the parent AssociationProxy argument. Allows
serializability and subclassing of the built in collections.
[ticket:1259]
- association_proxy now has basic comparator methods .any(),
.has(), .contains(), ==, !=, thanks to Scott Torborg.
[ticket:1372]
- examples
- The "query_cache" examples have been removed, and are replaced
with a fully comprehensive approach that combines the usage of
Beaker with SQLAlchemy. New query options are used to indicate
the caching characteristics of a particular Query, which
can also be invoked deep within an object graph when lazily
loading related objects. See /examples/beaker_caching/README.
0.5.9
=====
- sql
- Fixed erroneous self_group() call in expression package.
[ticket:1661]
0.5.8
=====
- sql
- The copy() method on Column now supports uninitialized,
unnamed Column objects. This allows easy creation of
declarative helpers which place common columns on multiple
subclasses.
- Default generators like Sequence() translate correctly
across a copy() operation.
- Sequence() and other DefaultGenerator objects are accepted
as the value for the "default" and "onupdate" keyword
arguments of Column, in addition to being accepted
positionally.
- Fixed a column arithmetic bug that affected column
correspondence for cloned selectables which contain
free-standing column expressions. This bug is
generally only noticeable when exercising newer
ORM behavior only availble in 0.6 via [ticket:1568],
but is more correct at the SQL expression level
as well. [ticket:1617]
- postgresql
- The extract() function, which was slightly improved in
0.5.7, needed a lot more work to generate the correct
typecast (the typecasts appear to be necessary in PG's
EXTRACT quite a lot of the time). The typecast is
now generated using a rule dictionary based
on PG's documentation for date/time/interval arithmetic.
It also accepts text() constructs again, which was broken
in 0.5.7. [ticket:1647]
- firebird
- Recognize more errors as disconnections. [ticket:1646]
0.5.7
=====
- orm
- contains_eager() now works with the automatically
generated subquery that results when you say
"query(Parent).join(Parent.somejoinedsubclass)", i.e.
when Parent joins to a joined-table-inheritance subclass.
Previously contains_eager() would erroneously add the
subclass table to the query separately producing a
cartesian product. An example is in the ticket
description. [ticket:1543]
- query.options() now only propagate to loaded objects
for potential further sub-loads only for options where
such behavior is relevant, keeping
various unserializable options like those generated
by contains_eager() out of individual instance states.
[ticket:1553]
- Session.execute() now locates table- and
mapper-specific binds based on a passed
in expression which is an insert()/update()/delete()
construct. [ticket:1054]
- Session.merge() now properly overwrites a many-to-one or
uselist=False attribute to None if the attribute
is also None in the given object to be merged.
- Fixed a needless select which would occur when merging
transient objects that contained a null primary key
identifier. [ticket:1618]
- Mutable collection passed to the "extension" attribute
of relation(), column_property() etc. will not be mutated
or shared among multiple instrumentation calls, preventing
duplicate extensions, such as backref populators,
from being inserted into the list.
[ticket:1585]
- Fixed the call to get_committed_value() on CompositeProperty.
[ticket:1504]
- Fixed bug where Query would crash if a join() with no clear
"left" side were called when a non-mapped column entity
appeared in the columns list. [ticket:1602]
- Fixed bug whereby composite columns wouldn't load properly
when configured on a joined-table subclass, introduced in
version 0.5.6 as a result of the fix for [ticket:1480].
[ticket:1616] thx to Scott Torborg.
- The "use get" behavior of many-to-one relations, i.e. that a
lazy load will fallback to the possibly cached query.get()
value, now works across join conditions where the two compared
types are not exactly the same class, but share the same
"affinity" - i.e. Integer and SmallInteger. Also allows
combinations of reflected and non-reflected types to work
with 0.5 style type reflection, such as PGText/Text (note 0.6
reflects types as their generic versions). [ticket:1556]
- Fixed bug in query.update() when passing Cls.attribute
as keys in the value dict and using synchronize_session='expire'
('fetch' in 0.6). [ticket:1436]
- sql
- Fixed bug in two-phase transaction whereby commit() method
didn't set the full state which allows subsequent close()
call to succeed. [ticket:1603]
- Fixed the "numeric" paramstyle, which apparently is the
default paramstyle used by Informixdb.
- Repeat expressions in the columns clause of a select
are deduped based on the identity of each clause element,
not the actual string. This allows positional
elements to render correctly even if they all render
identically, such as "qmark" style bind parameters.
[ticket:1574]
- The cursor associated with connection pool connections
(i.e. _CursorFairy) now proxies `__iter__()` to the
underlying cursor correctly. [ticket:1632]
- types now support an "affinity comparison" operation, i.e.
that an Integer/SmallInteger are "compatible", or
a Text/String, PickleType/Binary, etc. Part of
[ticket:1556].
- Fixed bug preventing alias() of an alias() from being
cloned or adapted (occurs frequently in ORM operations).
[ticket:1641]
- sqlite
- sqlite dialect properly generates CREATE INDEX for a table
that is in an alternate schema. [ticket:1439]
- postgresql
- Added support for reflecting the DOUBLE PRECISION type,
via a new postgres.PGDoublePrecision object.
This is postgresql.DOUBLE_PRECISION in 0.6.
[ticket:1085]
- Added support for reflecting the INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND syntaxes of the INTERVAL
type. [ticket:460]
- Corrected the "has_sequence" query to take current schema,
or explicit sequence-stated schema, into account.
[ticket:1576]
- Fixed the behavior of extract() to apply operator
precedence rules to the "::" operator when applying
the "timestamp" cast - ensures proper parenthesization.
[ticket:1611]
- mssql
- Changed the name of TrustedConnection to
Trusted_Connection when constructing pyodbc connect
arguments [ticket:1561]
- oracle
- The "table_names" dialect function, used by MetaData
.reflect(), omits "index overflow tables", a system
table generated by Oracle when "index only tables"
with overflow are used. These tables aren't accessible
via SQL and can't be reflected. [ticket:1637]
- ext
- A column can be added to a joined-table declarative
superclass after the class has been constructed
(i.e. via class-level attribute assignment), and
the column will be propagated down to
subclasses. [ticket:1570] This is the reverse
situation as that of [ticket:1523], fixed in 0.5.6.
- Fixed a slight inaccuracy in the sharding example.
Comparing equivalence of columns in the ORM is best
accomplished using col1.shares_lineage(col2).
[ticket:1491]
- Removed unused `load()` method from ShardedQuery.

Update py-sqlalchemy to version 0.8.2.
Changes since 0.7.10:
- Compatibility for Python 2.4 is being dropped.
- The primaryjoin argument is no longer needed when constructing a
relationship() against a class that has multiple foreign key paths to the
target.
- Relationships against self-referential, composite foreign keys where a
column points to itself are now supported.
- Previously difficult custom join conditions, like those involving
functions and/or CASTing of types, will now function as expected in most
cases.
- New Class/Object Inspection System.
- A new enhancement to the aliased() construct has been added called
with_polymorphic() which allows any entity to be “aliased” into a
“polymorphic” version of itself, freely usable anywhere.
- The PropComparator.of_type() method can now be used to target any number
of target subtypes, by combining it with the new with_polymorphic()
function.
- Mapper and instance events can now be associated with an unmapped
superclass, where those events will be propagated to subclasses as those
subclasses are mapped. The propagate=True flag should be used.
- The registry of class names is now sensitive to the owning module and
package of a given class. The classes can be referred to via dotted name
in expressions.
- The “deferred reflection” feature allows the construction of declarative
mapped classes with only placeholder Table metadata, until a prepare()
step is called, given an Engine with which to reflect fully all tables
and establish actual mappings. The system supports overriding of columns,
single and joined inheritance, as well as distinct bases-per-engine.
- A new SQL registration system allows a mapped class to be accepted as a
FROM clause within the core.
- The new UPDATE..FROM mechanics work in query.update().
- Upon rollback(), only those objects that were made dirty since the last
flush will be expired, the rest of the Session remains intact.
- Caching Example now uses dogpile.cache.
- The new operator system in Core associates new and overridden operators
with types.
- SQL expressions can now be associated with types.
- The inspect() function introduced in New Class/Object Inspection System
also applies to the core.
- select() now has a method Select.correlate_except() which specifies
“correlate on all FROM clauses except those specified”.
- Support for Postgresql’s HSTORE type is now available as
postgresql.HSTORE. This type makes great usage of the new operator system
to provide a full range of operators for HSTORE types, including index
access, concatenation, and containment methods such as has_key(),
has_any(), and matrix().
- The postgresql.ARRAY type will accept an optional “dimension” argument,
pinning it to a fixed number of dimensions and greatly improving
efficiency when retrieving results.
- SQLite has no built-in DATE, TIME, or DATETIME types, and instead
provides some support for storage of date and time values either as
strings or integers.
- The “collate” keyword, long accepted by the MySQL dialect, is now
established on all String types and will render on any backend, including
when features such as MetaData.create_all() and cast() is used.
- Geared towards MySQL, a “prefix” can be rendered within any of these
constructs.
- The consideration of a “pending” object as an “orphan” has been made more
aggressive.
- The after_attach event fires after the item is associated with the
Session instead of before; before_attach added.
- Query now auto-correlates like a select() does.
- Correlation is now always context-specific.
- create_all() and drop_all() will now honor an empty list as such.
- Repaired the Event Targeting of InstrumentationEvents.
- No more magic coercion of “=” to IN when comparing to subquery in
MS-SQL.
- The Session.is_modified() method accepts an argument passive which
basically should not be necessary, the argument in all cases should be
the value True - when left at its default of False it would have the
effect of hitting the database, and often triggering autoflush which
would itself change the results. In 0.8 the passive argument will have no
effect, and unloaded attributes will never be checked for history since
by definition there can be no pending state change on an unloaded
attribute.
- Column.key is honored in the Select.c attribute of select() with
Select.apply_labels().
- A relationship() that is many-to-one or many-to-many and specifies
“cascade=’all, delete-orphan’”, which is an awkward but nonetheless
supported use case (with restrictions) will now raise an error if the
relationship does not specify the single_parent=True option.
- Adding the inspector argument to the column_reflect event.
- The MySQL dialect does two calls, one very expensive, to load all
possible collations from the database as well as information on casing,
the first time an Engine connects. Neither of these collections are used
for any SQLAlchemy functions, so these calls will be changed to no longer
be emitted automatically. Applications that might have relied on these
collections being present on engine.dialect will need to call upon
_detect_collations() and _detect_casing() directly.
- Inspector.get_primary_keys() is deprecated, use
Inspector.get_pk_constraint.
- Case-insensitive result row names will be disabled in most cases. It will
be available only optionally, by passing the flag `case_sensitive=False`
to `create_engine()`, but otherwise column names requested from the row
must match as far as casing.
- The sqlalchemy.orm.interfaces.InstrumentationManager class is moved to
sqlalchemy.ext.instrumentation.InstrumentationManager.
- SQLSoup is now moved into its own project and documented/released
separately; see https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/sqlsoup.
- The older “mutable” system within the SQLAlchemy ORM has been removed.
- We had left in an alias sqlalchemy.exceptions to attempt to make it
slightly easier for some very old libraries that hadn’t yet been upgraded
to use sqlalchemy.exc. Some users are still being confused by it however
so in 0.8 we’re taking it out entirely to eliminate any of that confusion.

to provide a full range of operators for HSTORE types, including index
access, concatenation, and containment methods such as has_key(),
has_any(), and matrix().
- The postgresql.ARRAY type will accept an optional “dimension” argument,
pinning it to a fixed number of dimensions and greatly improving
efficiency when retrieving results.
- SQLite has no built-in DATE, TIME, or DATETIME types, and instead
provides some support for storage of date and time values either as
strings or integers.
- The “collate” keyword, long accepted by the MySQL dialect, is now
established on all String types and will render on any backend, including
when features such as MetaData.create_all() and cast() is used.
- Geared towards MySQL, a “prefix” can be rendered within any of these
constructs.
- The consideration of a “pending” object as an “orphan” has been made more
aggressive.
- The after_attach event fires after the item is associated with the
Session instead of before; before_attach added.
- Query now auto-correlates like a select() does.
- Correlation is now always context-specific.
- create_all() and drop_all() will now honor an empty list as such.
- Repaired the Event Targeting of InstrumentationEvents.
- No more magic coercion of “=” to IN when comparing to subquery in
MS-SQL.
- The Session.is_modified() method accepts an argument passive which
basically should not be necessary, the argument in all cases should be
the value True - when left at its default of False it would have the
effect of hitting the database, and often triggering autoflush which
would itself change the results. In 0.8 the passive argument will have no
effect, and unloaded attributes will never be checked for history since
by definition there can be no pending state change on an unloaded
attribute.
- Column.key is honored in the Select.c attribute of select() with
Select.apply_labels().
- A relationship() that is many-to-one or many-to-many and specifies
“cascade=’all, delete-orphan’”, which is an awkward but nonetheless
supported use case (with restrictions) will now raise an error if the
relationship does not specify the single_parent=True option.
- Adding the inspector argument to the column_reflect event.
- The MySQL dialect does two calls, one very expensive, to load all
possible collations from the database as well as information on casing,
the first time an Engine connects. Neither of these collections are used
for any SQLAlchemy functions, so these calls will be changed to no longer
be emitted automatically. Applications that might have relied on these
collections being present on engine.dialect will need to call upon
_detect_collations() and _detect_casing() directly.
- Inspector.get_primary_keys() is deprecated, use
Inspector.get_pk_constraint.
- Case-insensitive result row names will be disabled in most cases. It will
be available only optionally, by passing the flag `case_sensitive=False`
to `create_engine()`, but otherwise column names requested from the row
must match as far as casing.
- The sqlalchemy.orm.interfaces.InstrumentationManager class is moved to
sqlalchemy.ext.instrumentation.InstrumentationManager.
- SQLSoup is now moved into its own project and documented/released
separately; see https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/sqlsoup.
- The older “mutable” system within the SQLAlchemy ORM has been removed.
- We had left in an alias sqlalchemy.exceptions to attempt to make it
slightly easier for some very old libraries that hadn’t yet been upgraded
to use sqlalchemy.exc. Some users are still being confused by it however
so in 0.8 we’re taking it out entirely to eliminate any of that confusion.

Update py-sqlalchemy to version 0.8.2.
Changes since 0.7.10:
- Compatibility for Python 2.4 is being dropped.
- The primaryjoin argument is no longer needed when constructing a
relationship() against a class that has multiple foreign key paths to the
target.
- Relationships against self-referential, composite foreign keys where a
column points to itself are now supported.
- Previously difficult custom join conditions, like those involving
functions and/or CASTing of types, will now function as expected in most
cases.
- New Class/Object Inspection System.
- A new enhancement to the aliased() construct has been added called
with_polymorphic() which allows any entity to be “aliased” into a
“polymorphic” version of itself, freely usable anywhere.
- The PropComparator.of_type() method can now be used to target any number
of target subtypes, by combining it with the new with_polymorphic()
function.
- Mapper and instance events can now be associated with an unmapped
superclass, where those events will be propagated to subclasses as those
subclasses are mapped. The propagate=True flag should be used.
- The registry of class names is now sensitive to the owning module and
package of a given class. The classes can be referred to via dotted name
in expressions.
- The “deferred reflection” feature allows the construction of declarative
mapped classes with only placeholder Table metadata, until a prepare()
step is called, given an Engine with which to reflect fully all tables
and establish actual mappings. The system supports overriding of columns,
single and joined inheritance, as well as distinct bases-per-engine.
- A new SQL registration system allows a mapped class to be accepted as a
FROM clause within the core.
- The new UPDATE..FROM mechanics work in query.update().
- Upon rollback(), only those objects that were made dirty since the last
flush will be expired, the rest of the Session remains intact.
- Caching Example now uses dogpile.cache.
- The new operator system in Core associates new and overridden operators
with types.
- SQL expressions can now be associated with types.
- The inspect() function introduced in New Class/Object Inspection System
also applies to the core.
- select() now has a method Select.correlate_except() which specifies
“correlate on all FROM clauses except those specified”.
- Support for Postgresql’s HSTORE type is now available as
postgresql.HSTORE. This type makes great usage of the new operator system
to provide a full range of operators for HSTORE types, including index

py-sqlalchemy: updated to 1.2.9
Version 1.2.9
Fixed issue where chaining multiple join elements inside of Query.join() might not correctly adapt to the previous left-hand side, when chaining joined inheritance classes that share the same base class.
Fixed bug in cache key generation for baked queries which could cause a too-short cache key to be generated for the case of eager loads across subclasses. This could in turn cause the eagerload query to be cached in place of a non-eagerload query, or vice versa, for a polymorhic “selectin” load, or possibly for lazy loads or selectin loads as well.
Fixed bug in new polymorphic selectin loading where the BakedQuery used internally would be mutated by the given loader options, which would both inappropriately mutate the subclass query as well as carry over the effect to subsequent queries.
Fixed regression caused by 4256 (itself a regression fix for 4228) which breaks an undocumented behavior which converted for a non-sequence of entities passed directly to the Query constructor into a single-element sequence. While this behavior was never supported or documented, it’s already in use so has been added as a behavioral contract to Query.
Fixed an issue that was both a performance regression in 1.2 as well as an incorrect result regarding the “baked” lazy loader, involving the generation of cache keys from the original Query object’s loader options. If the loader options were built up in a “branched” style using common base elements for multiple options, the same options would be rendered into the cache key repeatedly, causing both a performance issue as well as generating the wrong cache key. This is fixed, along with a performance improvement when such “branched” options are applied via Query.options() to prevent the same option objects from being applied repeatedly.

- No more magic coercion of “=” to IN when comparing to subquery in
MS-SQL.
- The Session.is_modified() method accepts an argument passive which
basically should not be necessary, the argument in all cases should be
the value True - when left at its default of False it would have the
effect of hitting the database, and often triggering autoflush which
would itself change the results. In 0.8 the passive argument will have no
effect, and unloaded attributes will never be checked for history since
by definition there can be no pending state change on an unloaded
attribute.
- Column.key is honored in the Select.c attribute of select() with
Select.apply_labels().
- A relationship() that is many-to-one or many-to-many and specifies
“cascade=’all, delete-orphan’”, which is an awkward but nonetheless
supported use case (with restrictions) will now raise an error if the
relationship does not specify the single_parent=True option.
- Adding the inspector argument to the column_reflect event.
- The MySQL dialect does two calls, one very expensive, to load all
possible collations from the database as well as information on casing,
the first time an Engine connects. Neither of these collections are used
for any SQLAlchemy functions, so these calls will be changed to no longer
be emitted automatically. Applications that might have relied on these
collections being present on engine.dialect will need to call upon
_detect_collations() and _detect_casing() directly.
- Inspector.get_primary_keys() is deprecated, use
Inspector.get_pk_constraint.
- Case-insensitive result row names will be disabled in most cases. It will
be available only optionally, by passing the flag `case_sensitive=False`
to `create_engine()`, but otherwise column names requested from the row
must match as far as casing.
- The sqlalchemy.orm.interfaces.InstrumentationManager class is moved to
sqlalchemy.ext.instrumentation.InstrumentationManager.
- SQLSoup is now moved into its own project and documented/released
separately; see https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/sqlsoup.
- The older “mutable” system within the SQLAlchemy ORM has been removed.
- We had left in an alias sqlalchemy.exceptions to attempt to make it
slightly easier for some very old libraries that hadn’t yet been upgraded
to use sqlalchemy.exc. Some users are still being confused by it however
so in 0.8 we’re taking it out entirely to eliminate any of that confusion.

py-sqlalchemy: updated to 1.3.20
1.3.20
Released: October 12, 2020
orm
[orm] [bug]
An ArgumentError with more detail is now raised if the target parameter for Query.join() is set to an unmapped object. Prior to this change a less detailed AttributeError was raised. Pull request courtesy Ramon Williams.
[orm] [bug]
Fixed issue where using a loader option against a string attribute name that is not actually a mapped attribute, such as a plain Python descriptor, would raise an uninformative AttributeError; a descriptive error is now raised.
engine
[engine] [bug]
Fixed issue where a non-string object sent to SQLAlchemyError or a subclass, as occurs with some third party dialects, would fail to stringify correctly. Pull request courtesy Andrzej Bartosiński.
[engine] [bug]
Repaired a function-level import that was not using SQLAlchemy’s standard late-import system within the sqlalchemy.exc module.
sql
[sql] [bug]
Fixed issue where the pickle.dumps() operation against Over construct would produce a recursion overflow.
[sql] [bug]
Fixed bug where an error was not raised in the case where a column() were added to more than one table() at a time. This raised correctly for the Column and Table objects. An ArgumentError is now raised when this occurs.
postgresql
[postgresql] [usecase]
The psycopg2 dialect now support PostgreSQL multiple host connections, by passing host/port combinations to the query string. Pull request courtesy Ramon Williams.

Specfiying multiple fallback hosts
[postgresql] [bug]
Adjusted the Comparator.any() and Comparator.all() methods to implement a straight “NOT” operation for negation, rather than negating the comparison operator.
[postgresql] [bug]
Fixed issue where the ENUM type would not consult the schema translate map when emitting a CREATE TYPE or DROP TYPE during the test to see if the type exists or not. Additionally, repaired an issue where if the same enum were encountered multiple times in a single DDL sequence, the “check” query would run repeatedly rather than relying upon a cached value.
mysql
[mysql] [usecase]
Adjusted the MySQL dialect to correctly parenthesize functional index expressions as accepted by MySQL 8. Pull request courtesy Ramon Williams.
[mysql] [bug]
The “skip_locked” keyword used with with_for_update() will emit a warning when used on MariaDB backends, and will then be ignored. This is a deprecated behavior that will raise in SQLAlchemy 1.4, as an application that requests “skip locked” is looking for a non-blocking operation which is not available on those backends.
[mysql] [bug]
Fixed bug where an UPDATE statement against a JOIN using MySQL multi-table format would fail to include the table prefix for the target table if the statement had no WHERE clause, as only the WHERE clause were scanned to detect a “multi table update” at that particular point. The target is now also scanned if it’s a JOIN to get the leftmost table as the primary table and the additional entries as additional FROM entries.
[mysql] [change]
Add new MySQL reserved words: cube, lateral added in MySQL 8.0.1 and 8.0.14, respectively; this indicates that these terms will be quoted if used as table or column identifier names.
mssql
[mssql] [bug]
Fixed issue where a SQLAlchemy connection URI for Azure DW with authentication=ActiveDirectoryIntegrated (and no username+password) was not constructing the ODBC connection string in a way that was acceptable to the Azure DW instance.
misc
[bug] [pool]
Fixed issue where the following pool parameters were not being propagated to the new pool created when Engine.dispose() were called: pre_ping, use_lifo. Additionally the recycle and reset_on_return parameter is now propagated for the AssertionPool class.
[bug] [associationproxy] [ext]
An informative error is now raised when attempting to use an association proxy element as a plain column expression to be SELECTed from or used in a SQL function; this use case is not currently supported.
[bug] [tests]
Fixed incompatibilities in the test suite when running against Pytest 6.x.
