automatic reflection support for the "secondary" table referred
to by a :func:`.relationship`. "secondary", when specified
either as a string table name, or as a :class:`.Table` object with
only a name and :class:`.MetaData` object will also be included
in the reflection process when :meth:`.DeferredReflection.prepare`
is called. [ticket:2865]
- clsregistry._resolver() now uses a stateful _class_resolver()
class in order to handle the work of mapping strings to
objects. This is to provide for simpler extensibility, namely
a ._resolvers collection of ad-hoc name resolution functions;
the DeferredReflection class adds its own resolver here in order
to handle relationship(secondary) names which generate new
Table objects.
:func:`.validates` function; when set to False, a validation event
will not be triggered if the event was initated as a backref to
an attribute operation from the other side. [ticket:1535]
- break out validation tests into an updated module test_validators
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.
more flexible ways to set up bound parameters and return types;
in particular, a :func:`.text` can now be turned into a full
FROM-object, embeddable in other statements as an alias or CTE
using the new method :meth:`.TextClause.columns`.
[ticket:2877]
- move out tests, dialect specific out of compiler, compiler tests use new API,
legacy API tests in test_selecatble
- add support for adaptation of ForUpdateArg, alias support in compilers
"@", or "/" must be encoded." - so re-apply encoding to both password
and username, don't encode spaces as plus signs, don't encode any chars
outside of :, @, / on stringification - but we still parse for any
%XX character (is that right?)
:func:`.make_url` function **no longer URL encode the password**.
Database passwords that include characters like spaces, plus signs
and anything else should now represent these characters directly,
without any URL escaping. [ticket:2873]
to descriptors, like hybrids, synonyms, composites, user-defined
descriptors, etc. The attribute
adaptation which goes on has been made more robust, such that if a descriptor
returns another instrumented attribute, rather than a compound SQL
expression element, the operation will still proceed.
Addtionally, the "adapted" operator will retain its class; previously,
a change in class from ``InstrumentedAttribute`` to ``QueryableAttribute``
(a superclass) would interact with Python's operator system such that
an expression like ``aliased(MyClass.x) > MyClass.x`` would reverse itself
to read ``myclass.x < myclass_1.x``. The adapted attribute will also
refer to the new :class:`.AliasedClass` as its parent which was not
always the case before. [ticket:2872]
