reimplementing the highest impact functions.
The actual speedups will depend heavily on your DBAPI and
the mix of datatypes used in your tables, and can vary from
a 50% improvement to more than 200%. It also provides a modest
(~20%) indirect improvement to ORM speed for large queries.
Note that it is *not* built/installed by default.
See README for installation instructions.
- The most common result processors conversion function were
moved to the new "processors" module. Dialect authors are
encouraged to use those functions whenever they correspond
to their needs instead of implementing custom ones.
on all new connections, which allows all String/Text/etc.
types to skip the need to post-process bytestrings into
unicode (an expensive step due to its volume). Other
dialects which return unicode natively (pg8000, zxjdbc)
also skip unicode post-processing.
- String/Text/Unicode types now skip the unicode() check
on each result column value if the dialect has
detected the DBAPI as returning Python unicode objects
natively. This check is issued on first connect
using "SELECT CAST 'some text' AS VARCHAR(10)" or
equivalent, then checking if the returned object
is a Python unicode. This allows vast performance
increases for native-unicode DBAPIs, including
pysqlite/sqlite3, psycopg2, and pg8000.
method call counts when fetching columns that have no
type-level processing applied. Provides a 100% speed
improvement when fetching large result sets with no unicode
conversion. Many thanks to Elixir's Gaëtan de Menten
for this dramatic improvement ! [ticket:1586]
