become an externally usable package but still remains within the main sqlalchemy parent package.
in this system, we use kind of an ugly hack to get the noseplugin imported outside of the
"sqlalchemy" package, while still making it available within sqlalchemy for usage by
third party libraries.
- add some failure cases
- [bug] Firebird now uses strict "ansi bind rules"
so that bound parameters don't render in the
columns clause of a statement - they render
literally instead.
- [bug] Support for passing datetime as date when
using the DateTime type with Firebird; other
dialects support this.
- improved pool docs
- typos etc.
- ClauseElement.execute() and scalar() make no sense - these are depreacted.
The official home is Executable.
- alias() is not executable, allowing it is sloppy so this goes under
the deprecated umbrella
oriented situation, will at least return NULLTYPE
for its type instead of None, allowing it to
be used a little more freely for ad-hoc column
expressions than before. literal_column()
is still the better choice, however.
