constructs would fail if the bind were constructed with a callable,
rather than a direct value. This prevented ORM expressions
from being rendered with the "literal_binds" compiler flag.
such as "literal binds" into a CAST expression.
- Fixed bug whereby binary type would fail in some cases
if used with a "test" dialect, such as a DefaultDialect or other
dialect with no DBAPI.
- Fixed bug where "literal binds" wouldn't work with a bound parameter
that's a binary type. A similar, but different, issue is fixed
in 0.8.
backwards compatibility. A note about backslashing escapes is added.
Because the Text() construct now supports bind params better, the example
given in the code raises an exception now, so that should cover us.
The exception itself has been enhanced to include the key name of the
bound param. We're backporting this to 0.8 but 0.8 doesn't have the
text->bind behavior that raises.
have been modified, such that the COLLATE operator is now of lower
precedence than the comparison operators. This has the effect that
a COLLATE applied to a comparison will not render parenthesis
around the comparison, which is not parsed by backends such as
MSSQL. The change is backwards incompatible for those setups that
were working around the issue by applying :meth:`.Operators.collate`
to an individual element of the comparison expression,
rather than the comparison expression as a whole. [ticket:2879]
more flexible ways to set up bound parameters and return types;
in particular, a :func:`.text` can now be turned into a full
FROM-object, embeddable in other statements as an alias or CTE
using the new method :meth:`.TextClause.columns`.
[ticket:2877]
- move out tests, dialect specific out of compiler, compiler tests use new API,
legacy API tests in test_selecatble
- add support for adaptation of ForUpdateArg, alias support in compilers
with conjunctions, e.g.
``None`` :func:`.expression.null` :func:`.expression.true`
:func:`.expression.false`, including consistency in rendering NULL
in conjunctions, "short-circuiting" of :func:`.and_` and :func:`.or_`
expressions which contain boolean constants, and rendering of
boolean constants and expressions as compared to "1" or "0" for backends
that don't feature ``true``/``false`` constants. [ticket:2804]
form of a some expressions when referring to the ``.c`` collection
on a ``select()`` construct, but the ``str()`` form isn't available
since the element relies on dialect-specific compilation constructs,
notably the ``__getitem__()`` operator as used with a Postgresql
``ARRAY`` element. The fix also adds a new exception class
:class:`.UnsupportedCompilationError` which is raised in those cases
where a compiler is asked to compile something it doesn't know
how to. Also in 0.8.3.
[ticket:2780]
- add support for correlations to propagate all the way in; because
correlations require context now, need to make sure a select enclosure
of any level takes effect any number of levels deep.
- fix what we said correlate_except() was supposed to do when we first
released #2668 - "the FROM clause is left intact if the correlated SELECT
is not used in the context of an enclosing SELECT..." - it was not
considering the "existing_froms" collection at all, and prohibited
additional FROMs from being placed in an any() or has().
- add test for multilevel any()
- lots of docs, including glossary entries as we really need to define
"WHERE clause", "columns clause" etc. so that we can explain correlation better
- based on the insight that a SELECT can correlate anything that ultimately
came from an enclosing SELECT that links to this one via WHERE/columns/HAVING/ORDER BY,
have the compiler keep track of the FROM lists that correspond in this way,
link it to the asfrom flag, so that we send to _get_display_froms() the exact
list of candidate FROMs to correlate. no longer need any asfrom logic in the
Select() itself
- preserve 0.8.1's behavior for correlation when no correlate options are given, not
to mention 0.7 and prior's behavior of not propagating implicit correlation more than one level..
this is to reduce surprises/hard-to-debug situations when a user isn't trying
to correlate anything.
- update "not supported" messages for empty inserts, mutlivalue inserts
- rework the ValuesBase approach for multiple value sets so that stmt.parameters
does store a list for multiple values; the _has_multiple_parameters flag now indicates
which of the two modes the statement is within. it now raises exceptions if a subsequent
call to values() attempts to call a ValuesBase with one mode in the style of the other
mode; that is, you can't switch a single- or multi- valued ValuesBase to the other mode,
and also if a multiple value is passed simultaneously with a kwargs set.
Added tests for these error conditions
- Calling values() multiple times in multivalue mode now extends the parameter list to
include the new parameter sets.
- add error/test if multiple *args were passed to ValuesBase.values()
- rework the compiler approach for multivalue inserts, back to where
_get_colparams() returns the same list of (column, value) as before, thereby
maintaining the identical number of append() and other calls when multivalue
is not enabled. In the case of multivalue, it makes a last-minute switch to return
a list of lists instead of the single list. As it constructs the additional lists, the inline
defaults and other calculated default parameters of the first parameter
set are copied into the newly generated lists so that these features continue
to function for a multivalue insert. Multivalue inserts now add no additional
function calls to the compilation for regular insert constructs.
- parameter lists for multivalue inserts now includes an integer index for all
parameter sets.
- add detailed documentation for ValuesBase.values(), including careful wording
to describe the difference between multiple values and an executemany() call.
- add a test for multivalue insert + returning - it works !
- remove the very old/never used "postgresql_returning"/"firebird_returning" flags.
Some databases support this syntax for inserts:
INSERT INTO table (id, name) VALUES
('v1', 'v2'),
('v3', 'v4');
which greatly increases INSERT speed.
It is now possible to pass a list of lists/tuples/dictionaries as
the values param to the Insert construct. We convert it to a flat
dictionary so we can continue using bind params. The above query
will be converted to:
INSERT INTO table (id, name) VALUES
(:id, :name),
(:id0, :name0);
Currently only supported on postgresql, mysql and sqlite.
:meth:`.Compiler.process` wouldn't get propagated
to the column expressions present in the columns
clause of a SELECT statement. In particular this would
come up when used by custom compilation schemes that
relied upon special flags. [ticket:2593]
by proxy that of :class:`.orm.Query`, will not
take effect for a SELECT statement that is being

"tuple" rows that contain
types which aren't hashable, by setting the flag
"hashable=False" on the corresponding TypeEngine object

(typically lists) can set this flag to False.
[ticket:2592]
- [bug] Applying a column expression to a select
statement using a label with or without other
modifying constructs will no longer "target" that
expression to the underlying Column; this affects
ORM operations that rely upon Column targeting
in order to retrieve results. That is, a query
like query(User.id, User.id.label('foo')) will now
track the value of each "User.id" expression separately
instead of munging them together. It is not expected
that any users will be impacted by this; however,
a usage that uses select() in conjunction with
query.from_statement() and attempts to load fully
composed ORM entities may not function as expected
if the select() named Column objects with arbitrary
.label() names, as these will no longer target to
the Column objects mapped by that entity.
[ticket:2591]
to help with generative building. Also slight adjustment
regarding how SS "correlates" columns; the new methodology
no longer applies meaning to the underlying
Table column being selected. This improves
some fairly esoteric situations, and the logic
that was there didn't seem to have any purpose.
- [feature] Some support for auto-rendering of a
relationship join condition based on the mapped
attribute, with usage of core SQL constructs.
E.g. select([SomeClass]).where(SomeClass.somerelationship)
would render SELECT from "someclass" and use the
primaryjoin of "somerelationship" as the WHERE
clause. This changes the previous meaning
of "SomeClass.somerelationship" when used in a
core SQL context; previously, it would "resolve"
to the parent selectable, which wasn't generally
useful. Related to [ticket:2245].
passing an empty list for either partition_by
or order_by, as opposed to None, would fail
to generate correctly.

the `getitem` operator, i.e. the bracket
operator in Python. This is used at first
to provide index and slice behavior to the
Postgresql ARRAY type, and also provides a hook
for end-user definition of custom __getitem__
schemes which can be applied at the type
level as well as within ORM-level custom
operator schemes.
Note that this change has the effect that
descriptor-based __getitem__ schemes used by
the ORM in conjunction with synonym() or other
"descriptor-wrapped" schemes will need
to start using a custom comparator in order
to maintain this behavior.
- [feature] postgresql.ARRAY now supports
indexing and slicing. The Python [] operator
is available on all SQL expressions that are
of type ARRAY; integer or simple slices can be
passed. The slices can also be used on the
assignment side in the SET clause of an UPDATE
statement by passing them into Update.values();
see the docs for examples.
- [feature] Added new "array literal" construct
postgresql.array(). Basically a "tuple" that
renders as ARRAY[1,2,3].

list of a ``func`` call) and "AS", and is
also customizable via the "precedence" argument
on the ``op()`` method. [ticket:2537]
