in result sets is now case sensitive by
default. SQLAlchemy for many years would
run a case-insensitive conversion on these values,
probably to alleviate early case sensitivity
issues with dialects like Oracle and
Firebird. These issues have been more cleanly
solved in more modern versions so the performance
hit of calling lower() on identifiers is removed.
The case insensitive comparisons can be re-enabled
by setting "case_insensitive=False" on
create_engine(). [ticket:2423]
ORM, including the MutableType class as well
as the mutable=True flag on PickleType
and postgresql.ARRAY has been removed.
In-place mutations are detected by the ORM
using the sqlalchemy.ext.mutable extension,
introduced in 0.7. The removal of MutableType
and associated constructs removes a great
deal of complexity from SQLAlchemy's internals.
The approach performed poorly as it would incur
a scan of the full contents of the Session
when in use. [ticket:2442]
- resolved some serious speed hits I missed, we need to ensure
only deannotated columns are used in the local/remote collections and soforth
so that hash lookups against mapped columns don't dig into __eq__()
- fix some other parity mismatches regarding stuff from [ticket:2453],
including finding another case where _deep_annotate() was doing the wrong thing,
new tests.
- [feature] Major rewrite of relationship()
internals now allow join conditions which
include columns pointing to themselves
within composite foreign keys. A new
API for very specialized primaryjoin conditions
is added, allowing conditions based on
SQL functions, CAST, etc. to be handled
by placing the annotation functions
remote() and foreign() inline within the
expression when necessary. Previous recipes
using the semi-private _local_remote_pairs
approach can be upgraded to this new
approach. [ticket:1401]
is applied to columns in SELECT statements
allows "truncated" labels, that is label names
that are generated in Python which exceed
the maximum identifier length (note this is
configurable via label_length on create_engine()),
to be properly referenced when rendered inside
of a subquery, as well as to be present
in a result set row using their original
in-Python names. [ticket:2396]
- apply pep8 to test_labels
against ORM-level column could be treated as
a distinct entity when producing certain
kinds of joined-inh joins. [ticket:2316]
- [bug] related to [ticket:2316], made some
adjustments to the change from [ticket:2261]
regarding the "from" list on a select(). The
_froms collection is no longer memoized, as this
simplifies various use cases and removes the
need for a "warning" if a column is attached
to a table after it was already used in an
expression - the select() construct will now
always produce the correct expression.
There's probably no real-world
performance hit here; select() objects are
almost always made ad-hoc, and systems that
wish to optimize the re-use of a select()
would be using the "compiled_cache" feature.
A hit which would occur when calling select.bind
has been reduced, but the vast majority
of users shouldn't be using "bound metadata"
anyway :).
classes. Note the repr here can't fully support
the "repr is the constructor" idea since schema
items can be very deeply nested/cyclical, have
late initialization of some things, etc.

collections present in given merge field. This shows that the change proposed
in [ticket:2221] adds over 10% method call overhead including significantly more
SQL statements.
a RowProxy result row such that no exception
throw is generated internally;
NoSuchColumnError() also will generate its
message regardless of whether or not the column
construct can be coerced to a string.
[ticket:2178]. Also in 0.6.8.
this uses pool events but bypasses the pool's fairy/record/dispose services. pypy still seems to expose
some holes in that at least as far as what some (or maybe just one, cant find it yet) of the tests does.
haven't tested this too deeply, just on sqlite + postgres, cypthon 2.7 + pypy. will see what the buildbot
says
- remove extra _load_fixtures() method. using the classbound version as the fixtures
seem to have everything classlevel at the moment (wondering if we want to change that
for non-classlevel setup/teardown)
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
compilation of expression._BindParamClause including that
the auto-generated binds within the VALUES/SET clause
of an insert()/update() statement will also use the new
compilation rules. [ticket:2042]
SchemaEventTarget, which supplies dispatch
- the dispatch now provides before_parent_attach(),
after_parent_attach(), events which generally bound the _set_parent()
event. [ticket:2037]
- the _on_table_attach mechanism now usually uses the
event dispatch
- fixed class-level event dispatch to propagate to all subclasses, not just
immediate subclasses
- fixed class-level event unpickling to handle more involved
inheritance hierarchies, needed by the new schema event dispatch.
- ForeignKeyConstraint doesn't re-call the column attach event
on ForeignKey objects that are already associated with the correct
Column
- we still need that ImportError on mysqldb CLIENT FLAGS to support
mock DBAPIs
