which basically allows for their return type to be determined
automatically. Helps with dates on SQLite, decimal types,
others. [ticket:1160]
- added decimal.Decimal as an "auto-detect" type; bind parameters
and generic functions will set their type to Numeric when a
Decimal is used.
to 'scale'. 'length' is deprecated and is still accepted
with a warning. [ticket:827]
- The 'length' argument to MSInteger, MSBigInteger, MSTinyInteger,
MSSmallInteger and MSYear has been renamed to 'display_width'.
[ticket:827]
- mysql._Numeric now consumes 'unsigned' and 'zerofill' from
the given kw, so that the same kw can be passed along to Numeric
and allow the 'length' deprecation logic to still take effect
- added testlib.engines.all_dialects() to return a dialect for
every db module
- informix added to sqlalchemy.databases.__all__. Since other
"experimental" dbs like access and sybase are there, informix
should be as well.
other tests to more specific modules
- added "now()" as a generic function; on SQLite and
Oracle compiles as "CURRENT_TIMESTAMP"; "now()"
on all others [ticket:943]
- Importing testenv has no side effects- explicit functions provide similar behavior to the old immediate behavior of testbase
- testing.db has the configured db
- Fixed up the perf/* scripts
the tree can now run the full suite of tests out of the box.
- Migrated most @supported to @fails_on, @fails_on_everything_but, or (last
resort) @unsupported. @fails_on revealed a slew of bogus test skippage,
which was corrected.
- Added @fails_on_everything_but. Yes, the first usage *was*
"fails_on_everything_but('postgres')". How did you guess!
- Migrated @supported in dialect/* to the new test-class attribute __only_on__.
- Test classes can also have __unsupported_on__ and __excluded_on__.
- changed the various "literal" generation functions to use an anonymous
bind parameter. not much changes here except their labels now look
like ":param_1", ":param_2" instead of ":literal"
- from_obj keyword argument to select() can be a scalar or a list.
