SQL Server has an entirely different use for the TIMESTAMP
datatype that is unrelated to the SQL standard's version of this
type. It is a read-only type that returns an incrementing
binary value. The ROWVERSION name will supersede the TIMESTAMP
name. Implement datatype objects for both, separate from the
base DateTime/TIMESTAMP class hierarchy, and also implement
an optional integer coercion feature.

Fixes: #4086
Added a placeholder type :class:`.mssql.XML` to the SQL Server
dialect, so that a reflected table which includes this type can
be re-rendered as a CREATE TABLE. The type has no special round-trip
behavior nor does it currently support additional qualifying
arguments.

Fixes: #3973
persistence of JSON values in MySQL as well as basic operator support
of "getitem" and "getpath", making use of the ``JSON_EXTRACT``
function in order to refer to individual paths in a JSON structure.
fixes#3547
- Added a new type to core :class:`.types.JSON`. This is the
base of the PostgreSQL :class:`.postgresql.JSON` type as well as that
of the new :class:`.mysql.JSON` type, so that a PG/MySQL-agnostic
JSON column may be used. The type features basic index and path
searching support.
fixes#3619
- reorganization of migration docs etc. to try to refer both to
the fixes to JSON that helps Postgresql while at the same time
indicating these are new features of the new base JSON type.
- a rework of the Array/Indexable system some more, moving things
that are specific to Array out of Indexable.
- new operators for JSON indexing added to core so that these can
be compiled by the PG and MySQL dialects individually
- rename sqltypes.Array to sqltypes.ARRAY - as there is no generic
Array implementation, this is an uppercase type for now, consistent
with the new sqltypes.JSON type that is also not a generic implementation.
There may need to be some convention change to handle the case of
datatypes that aren't generic, rely upon DB-native implementations,
but aren't necessarily all named the same thing.
consists mainly of adjusting fixtures to ensure connections are closed
explicitly. psycopg2cffi also handles unicode bind parameter
names differently than psycopg2, and seems to possibly have a little less
control over floating point values at least in one test which is
marked as a "fail", though will see if it runs differently on linux
than osx..
- changelog for psycopg2cffi, fixes#3052
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.
fixes#3002
:class:`.DateTime`. As Oracle has no "datetime" type per se,
it instead has only ``DATE``, it is appropriate here that the
``DATE`` type as present in the Oracle dialect be an instance of
:class:`.DateTime`. This issue doesn't change anything as far as
the behavior of the type, as data conversion is handled by the
DBAPI in any case, however the improved subclass layout will help
the use cases of inspecting types for cross-database compatibility.
Also removed uppercase ``DATETIME`` from the Oracle dialect as this
type isn't functional in that context. fixes#2987
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].
