when set to False on Table, the Table can be autoloaded
without existing columns being replaced. Allows
more flexible chains of Table construction/reflection
to be constructed, including that it helps with
combining Declarative with table reflection.
See the new example on the wiki. [ticket:2356]
- [bug] Improved the API for add_column() such that
if the same column is added to its own table,
an error is not raised and the constraints
don't get doubled up. Also helps with some
reflection/declarative patterns. [ticket:2356]
- MetaData() accepts "schema" and "quote_schema"
arguments, which will be applied to the same-named
arguments of a Table
or Sequence which leaves these at their default
of ``None``.
- Sequence accepts "quote_schema" argument
- tometadata() for Table will use the "schema"
of the incoming MetaData for the new Table
if the schema argument is explicitly "None"
- Added CreateSchema and DropSchema DDL
constructs - these accept just the string
name of a schema and a "quote" flag.
- When using default "schema" with MetaData,
ForeignKey will also assume the "default" schema
when locating remote table. This allows the "schema"
argument on MetaData to be applied to any
set of Table objects that otherwise don't have
a "schema".
- a "has_schema" method has been implemented
on dialect, but only works on Postgresql so far.

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.

ForeignKeyConstraint refers to a column name in
the parent that is not found. Also in 0.6.9.
- add tests for [ticket:2226], as if we hit each @declared_attr
directly with obj.__get__(obj, name) instead of using
getattr(cls, name). Basic inheritance mechanics are improperly
used in this case, so 2226 is invalid.
to column server_onupdate, it would not
have its parent "column" assigned, added
test coverage for all column default assignment
patterns. [ticket:2147] also in 0.6.8
by a new pair of flags 'keep_existing' and
'extend_existing'. 'extend_existing' is equivalent
to 'useexisting' - the existing Table is returned,
and additional constructor elements are added.
With 'keep_existing', the existing Table is returned,
but additional constructor elements are not added -
these elements are only applied when the Table
is newly created. [ticket:2109]
even if they are *not* restated. its necessary here to do a "replacement"
scheme when an incoming sequence replaces the previous. Theoretically
we could do what Table does here, i.e. use a singleton constructor, but
this is heavyhanded. The most recent sequence placed in is the winner
is likely the most expected behavior.
case where Column is subclassed and _make_proxy()
fails to make a copy due to TypeError on the
constructor. The method _constructor should
be implemented in this case.
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
