return type is not strictly assumed to be boolean; it now
returns a :class:`.Boolean` subclass called :class:`.MatchType`.
The type will still produce boolean behavior when used in Python
expressions, however the dialect can override its behavior at
result time. In the case of MySQL, while the MATCH operator
is typically used in a boolean context within an expression,
if one actually queries for the value of a match expression, a
floating point value is returned; this value is not compatible
with SQLAlchemy's C-based boolean processor, so MySQL's result-set
behavior now follows that of the :class:`.Float` type.
A new operator object ``notmatch_op`` is also added to better allow
dialects to define the negation of a match operation.

``pg_catalog.pg_table_is_visible(c.oid)``, rather than testing
for an exact schema match, when the schema name is None; this
so that the method will also illustrate that temporary tables
are present. Note that this is a behavioral change, as Postgresql
allows a non-temporary table to silently overwrite an existing
temporary table of the same name, so this changes the behavior
of ``checkfirst`` in that unusual scenario.
fixes#3264
- add a test for PG reflection of unique index without any unique
constraint
- for PG, don't include 'duplicates_constraint' in the entry
if the index does not actually mirror a constraint
- use a distinct method for unique constraint reflection within table
- catch unique constraint not implemented condition; this may
be within some dialects and also is expected to be supported by
Alembic tests
- migration + changelogs for #3184
- add individual doc notes as well to MySQL, Postgreql
fixes#3184
Calls to reflect a table did not create any UniqueConstraint objects.
The reflection core made no calls to get_unique_constraints and as
a result, the sqlite dialect would never reflect any unique constraints.
MySQL transparently converts unique constraints into unique indexes, but
SQLAlchemy would reflect those as an Index object and as a
UniqueConstraint. The reflection core will now deduplicate the unique
constraints.
PostgreSQL would reflect unique constraints as an Index object and as
a UniqueConstraint object. The reflection core will now deduplicate
the unique indexes.
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
- return a list of dicts like other methods do
- don't combine 'schema' with 'name', leave them separate
- support '*' argument so that we can retrieve cross-schema
if needed
- remove "conn" argument
- use bound parameters for 'schema' in SQL
- order by schema, name, label
- adapt _load_enums changes to column reflection
- changelog
- module docs for get_enums()
- add drop of enums to --dropfirst
otherwise render a SQL NULL column value, rather than a JSON-encoded
``'null'``. To support this case, changes are as follows:
* The value :func:`.null` can now be specified, which will always
result in a NULL value resulting in the statement.
* A new parameter :paramref:`.JSON.none_as_null` is added, which
when True indicates that the Python ``None`` value should be
peristed as SQL NULL, rather than JSON-encoded ``'null'``.
Retrival of NULL as None is also repaired for DBAPIs other than
psycopg2, namely pg8000.
fixes#3159
non-standard DBAPI exceptions, such as the psycopg2
TransactionRollbackError. These exceptions will now be raised
using the closest available subclass in ``sqlalchemy.exc``, in the
case of TransactionRollbackError, ``sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError``.
fixes#3075
While "oid" is generally a private type within PG that is not exposed
in modern versions, there are some PG use cases such as large object
support where these types might be exposed, as well as within some
user-reported schema reflection use cases.

is needed to allow the ORM to skip over trying to "hash" an ORM-mapped
HSTORE column when requesting it in a mixed column/entity list.

As with postgresql+psycopg2,
execution_options(isolation_level='AUTOCOMMIT') now works for the
postgresql+pg8000 dialect.
Also enabled the autocommit test in test_dialect.py for pg8000.
enhancements where index reflection on Postgresql versions specific
to only the 8.1, 8.2 series again
broke, surrounding the ever problematic int2vector type. While
int2vector supports array operations as of 8.1, apparently it only
supports CAST to a varchar as of 8.3.
fix#3000
is currently being supported in addition to nose, and will likely
be preferred to nose going forward. The nose plugin system used
by SQLAlchemy has been split out so that it works under pytest as
well. There are no plans to drop support for nose at the moment
and we hope that the test suite itself can continue to remain as
agnostic of testing platform as possible. See the file
README.unittests.rst for updated information on running tests
with pytest.
The test plugin system has also been enhanced to support running
tests against mutiple database URLs at once, by specifying the ``--db``
and/or ``--dburi`` flags multiple times. This does not run the entire test
suite for each database, but instead allows test cases that are specific
to certain backends make use of that backend as the test is run.
When using pytest as the test runner, the system will also run
specific test suites multiple times, once for each database, particularly
those tests within the "dialect suite". The plan is that the enhanced
system will also be used by Alembic, and allow Alembic to run
migration operation tests against multiple backends in one run, including
third-party backends not included within Alembic itself.
Third party dialects and extensions are also encouraged to standardize
on SQLAlchemy's test suite as a basis; see the file README.dialects.rst
for background on building out from SQLAlchemy's test platform.
(pre 8.1) versions of Postgresql, and potentially other PG engines
such as Redshift (assuming Redshift reports the version as < 8.1).
The query for "indexes" as well as "primary keys" relies upon inspecting
a so-called "int2vector" datatype, which refuses to coerce to an array
prior to 8.1 causing failures regarding the "ANY()" operator used
in the query. Extensive googling has located the very hacky, but
recommended-by-PG-core-developer query to use when PG version < 8.1
is in use, so index and primary key constraint reflection now work
on these versions.
to support dialect-level reflection options for all :class:`.Table`
objects reflected.
- Added a new dialect-level argument ``postgresql_ignore_search_path``;
this argument is accepted by both the :class:`.Table` constructor
as well as by the :meth:`.MetaData.reflect` method. When in use
against Postgresql, a foreign-key referenced table which specifies
a remote schema name will retain that schema name even if the name
is present in the ``search_path``; the default behavior since 0.7.3
has been that schemas present in ``search_path`` would not be copied
to reflected :class:`.ForeignKey` objects. The documentation has been
updated to describe in detail the behavior of the ``pg_get_constraintdef()``
function and how the ``postgresql_ignore_search_path`` feature essentially
determines if we will honor the schema qualification reported by
this function or not. [ticket:2922]
the indexing. this is for more natural operation.
- also add cast() to the JSON expression to complement astext. This integrates
the CAST call which will be needed frequently. Part of [ticket:2687].
- it's a little unclear how more advanced unicode attribute-access is going to go,
some quick attempts at testing yielded strange error messages from psycopg2.
- do other cross linking as mentioned in [ticket:2687].
