the tree can now run the full suite of tests out of the box.
- Migrated most @supported to @fails_on, @fails_on_everything_but, or (last
resort) @unsupported. @fails_on revealed a slew of bogus test skippage,
which was corrected.
- Added @fails_on_everything_but. Yes, the first usage *was*
"fails_on_everything_but('postgres')". How did you guess!
- Migrated @supported in dialect/* to the new test-class attribute __only_on__.
- Test classes can also have __unsupported_on__ and __excluded_on__.
- removed ClauseParameters object; compiled.params returns a regular dictionary
now, as well as result.last_inserted_params()/last_updated_params().
- various code trimming, method removals.
- reduced complexity of parameter handling during execution; __distill_params does all
parameter munging, executioncontext.parameters always holds a list of parameter structures
(lists, tuples, or dicts).
"column_keys". the parameters sent to execute() only interact with the
insert/update statement compilation process in terms of the column names
present but not the values for those columns.
produces more consistent execute/executemany behavior, simplifies things a
bit internally.
2. compiler names changed to be less verbose, unused classes removed.
3. Methods on Dialect which return compilers, schema generators, identifier preparers
have changed to direct class references, typically on the Dialect class itself
or optionally as attributes on an individual Dialect instance if conditional behavior is needed.
This takes away the need for Dialect subclasses to know how to instantiate these
objects, and also reduces method overhead by one call for each one.
4. as a result of 3., some internal signatures have changed for things like compiler() (now statement_compiler()), preparer(), etc., mostly in that the dialect needs to be passed explicitly as the first argument (since they are just class references now). The compiler() method on Engine and Connection is now also named statement_compiler(), but as before does not take the dialect as an argument.
5. changed _process_row function on RowProxy to be a class reference, cuts out 50K method calls from insertspeed.py
- changed testing connection closer to work on _ConnectionFairy instances, resulting in
pool checkins, not actual closes
- disabled session two phase test for now, needs work
- added some two-phase support to TLEngine, not tested
- TLTransaction is now a wrapper
of convert_bind_param() and convert_result_value() to callable-returning
bind_processor() and result_processor() methods. if no callable is
returned, no pre/post processing function is called.
- hooks added throughout base/sql/defaults to optimize the calling
of bind param/result processors so that method call overhead is minimized.
special cases added for executemany() scenarios such that unneeded "last row id"
logic doesn't kick in, parameters aren't excessively traversed.
- new performance tests show a combined mass-insert/mass-select test as having 68%
fewer function calls than the same test run against 0.3.
- general performance improvement of result set iteration is around 10-20%.
- session.execute() and scalar() can search for a Table with which to bind
from using the given ClauseElement
- session automatically extrapolates tables from mappers with binds,
also uses base_mapper so that inheritance hierarchies bind automatically
- moved ClauseVisitor traversal back to inlined non-recursive
- Mark everything in a test suite as failed when setUpAll fails.
- Added test coverage for Unicode table names in metadata.reflect()
- @testing.exclude() filters out tests by server version
- Applied exclude to the test suite, MySQL 4.1 passes again (no XA or SAVEPOINT)
- Removed MySQL charset-setting pool hook- charset=utf8&use_unicode=0 works just as well. (Am I nuts? I'd swear this didn't work before.)
- Finally migrated some old MySQL-tests into the dialect test module
- Corrected 'commit' and 'rollback' logic (and comment) for ancient MySQL versions lacking transactions entirely
- Deprecated the MySQL get_version_info in favor of server_version_info
- Added a big hunk-o-doc for MySQL.
