ultimately will populate a foreign key column in conflict with
another, where the relationships are attempting to copy values
from different source columns. This occurs in the case where
composite foreign keys with overlapping columns are mapped to
relationships that each refer to a different referenced column.
A new documentation section illustrates the example as well as how
to overcome the issue by specifying "foreign" columns specifically
on a per-relationship basis.
fixes#3230
constructs are now importable from the "from sqlalchemy" namespace,
just like every other Core construct.
- The implicit conversion of strings to :func:`.text` constructs
when passed to most builder methods of :func:`.select` as
well as :class:`.Query` now emits a warning with just the
plain string sent. The textual conversion still proceeds normally,
however. The only method that accepts a string without a warning
are the "label reference" methods like order_by(), group_by();
these functions will now at compile time attempt to resolve a single
string argument to a column or label expression present in the
selectable; if none is located, the expression still renders, but
you get the warning again. The rationale here is that the implicit
conversion from string to text is more unexpected than not these days,
and it is better that the user send more direction to the Core / ORM
when passing a raw string as to what direction should be taken.
Core/ORM tutorials have been updated to go more in depth as to how text
is handled.
fixes#2992
standalone gendered pronoun with a gender-neutral subject, but also
have replaced all occurences of "his/her", "his or her", etc. The docs have always
strived to account for both genders in any non-specific singular pronoun,
however recent controversy in the community suggests
that a zero-gendered-pronoun policy is probably best going forward.
become an externally usable package but still remains within the main sqlalchemy parent package.
in this system, we use kind of an ugly hack to get the noseplugin imported outside of the
"sqlalchemy" package, while still making it available within sqlalchemy for usage by
third party libraries.
access to the cls/self.tables/classes registries
- express orm/_base.py ORMTest in terms of engine/_base.py TablesTest,
factor out common steps into TablesTest, remove AltEngineTest as a
separate class. will further consolidate these base classes
outside of "sqlalchemy" and under "test/".
Rationale:
- coverage plugin works without issue, without need for an awkward
additional package install
- command line for "nosetests" isn't polluted with SQLAlchemy options
[ticket:1949]
- improved pool docs
- typos etc.
- ClauseElement.execute() and scalar() make no sense - these are depreacted.
The official home is Executable.
- alias() is not executable, allowing it is sloppy so this goes under
the deprecated umbrella
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 documentation to tutorial,mapper doc, api docs
for subqueryload, subqueryload_all, and other options.
relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational
algebra term. relation() however will remain available
in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
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]
- deprecated PassiveDefault - use DefaultClause.
- 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.
- "shortname" attribute on bindparam() is removed.
- fold_equivalents flag on join is deprecated (will remain
until [ticket:1131] is implemented)
- "scalar" flag on select() is removed, use
select.as_scalar().
- '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".
- 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.
