- fixed table comparison example in metadata.txt
- docstrings all over the place
- renamed mapper _getattrbycolumn/_setattrbycolumn to get_attr_by_column,set_attr_by_column
- removed frommapper parameter from populate_instance(). the two operations can be performed separately
- fix to examples/adjacencytree/byroot_tree.py to fire off lazy loaders upon load, to reduce query calling
- added get(), get_by(), load() to MapperExtension
- re-implemented ExtensionOption (called by extension() function)
- redid _ExtensionCarrier to function dynamically based on __getattribute__
- added logging to attributes package, indicating the execution of a lazy callable
- going to close [ticket:329]
- added contains_eager() MapperOption, used in conjunction with
instances() to specify properties that should be eagerly loaded
from the result set, using their plain column names by default, or translated
given an custom row-translation function. [ticket:347].
methods, methods that are no longer needed. slightly more constrained
useage, greater emphasis on explicitness.
- table_iterator signature fixup, includes fix for [ticket:288]
- the "primary_key" attribute of Table and other selectables becomes
a setlike ColumnCollection object; is no longer ordered or numerically
indexed. a comparison clause between two pks that are derived from the
same underlying tables (i.e. such as two Alias objects) can be generated
via table1.primary_key==table2.primary_key
- append_item() methods removed from Table and Column; preferably
construct Table/Column/related objects inline, but if needed use
append_column(), append_foreign_key(), append_constraint(), etc.
- table.create() no longer returns the Table object, instead has no
return value. the usual case is that tables are created via metadata,
which is preferable since it will handle table dependencies.
- added UniqueConstraint (goes at Table level), CheckConstraint
(goes at Table or Column level) fixes [ticket:217]
- index=False/unique=True on Column now creates a UniqueConstraint,
index=True/unique=False creates a plain Index,
index=True/unique=True on Column creates a unique Index. 'index'
and 'unique' keyword arguments to column are now boolean only; for
explcit names and groupings of indexes or unique constraints, use the
UniqueConstraint/Index constructs explicitly.
- relationship of Metadata/Table/SchemaGenerator/Dropper has been
improved so that the schemavisitor receives the metadata object
for greater control over groupings of creates/drops.
- added "use_alter" argument to ForeignKey, ForeignKeyConstraint,
but it doesnt do anything yet. will utilize new generator/dropper
behavior to implement.
of which columns are to be involved in the synchronization via foreignkey property.
foreignkey param is a little more important now and should have its role clarified
particularly for self-referential mappers.
series, UOWTask calls mapper appropriately in this manner
- polymorphic mappers (i.e. using inheritance) now produces INSERT
statements in order of tables across all inherited classes
[ticket:321]
is deprecated, in favor of the "foreign_keys" list/set-based attribute,
which takes into account multiple foreign keys on one column.
"foreign_key" will return the first element in the "foreign_keys" list/set
or None if the list is empty.
- added a user test to the relationships test, testing various new things this
change allows
behavior should be the same, except now you can also do things like
select(['*'], from_obj=[func.my_function()]) to get multiple
columns from the result, or even use sql.column() constructs to name the
return columns [ticket:172]. generally only postgres understands the
syntax (and possibly oracle).
- this is a wide refactoring to "attribute loader" and "options" architectures.
ColumnProperty and PropertyLoader define their loading behaivor via switchable
"strategies", and MapperOptions no longer use mapper/property copying
in order to function; they are instead propigated via QueryContext
and SelectionContext objects at query/instnaces time.
All of the copying of mappers and properties that was used to handle
inheritance as well as options() has been removed and the structure
of mappers and properties is much simpler and more clearly laid out.
