### 2.0.9
```
:released: April 5, 2023
.. change::
:tags: bug, mssql
:tickets: 9603
Due to a critical bug identified in SQL Server, the SQLAlchemy
"insertmanyvalues" feature which allows fast INSERT of many rows while also
supporting RETURNING unfortunately needs to be disabled for SQL Server. SQL
Server is apparently unable to guarantee that the order of rows inserted
matches the order in which they are sent back by OUTPUT inserted when
table-valued rows are used with INSERT in conjunction with OUTPUT inserted.
We are trying to see if Microsoft is able to confirm this undocumented
behavior however there is no known workaround, other than it's not safe to
use table-valued expressions with OUTPUT inserted for now.
.. change::
:tags: bug, mariadb
:tickets: 9588
Added ``row_number`` as reserved word in MariaDb.
.. change::
:tags: bug, mssql
:tickets: 9586
Changed the bulk INSERT strategy used for SQL Server "executemany" with
pyodbc when ``fast_executemany`` is set to ``True`` by using
``fast_executemany`` / ``cursor.executemany()`` for bulk INSERT that does
not include RETURNING, restoring the same behavior as was used in
SQLAlchemy 1.4 when this parameter is set.
New performance details from end users have shown that ``fast_executemany``
is still much faster for very large datasets as it uses ODBC commands that
can receive all rows in a single round trip, allowing for much larger
datasizes than the batches that can be sent by "insertmanyvalues"
as was implemented for SQL Server.
While this change was made such that "insertmanyvalues" continued to be
used for INSERT that includes RETURNING, as well as if ``fast_executemany``
were not set, due to :ticket:`9603`, the "insertmanyvalues" strategy has
been disabled for SQL Server across the board in any case.

### 2.0.8
```
:released: March 31, 2023
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm
:tickets: 9553
Fixed issue in ORM Annotated Declarative where using a recursive type (e.g.
using a nested Dict type) would result in a recursion overflow in the ORM's
annotation resolution logic, even if this datatype were not necessary to
map the column.
.. change::
:tags: bug, examples
Fixed issue in "versioned history" example where using a declarative base
that is derived from :class:`_orm.DeclarativeBase` would fail to be mapped.
Additionally, repaired the given test suite so that the documented
instructions for running the example using Python unittest now work again.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm
:tickets: 9550
Fixed issue where the :func:`_orm.mapped_column` construct would raise an
internal error if used on a Declarative mixin and included the
:paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.deferred` parameter.
.. change::
:tags: bug, mysql
:tickets: 9544
Fixed issue where string datatypes such as :class:`_sqltypes.CHAR`,
:class:`_sqltypes.VARCHAR`, :class:`_sqltypes.TEXT`, as well as binary
:class:`_sqltypes.BLOB`, could not be produced with an explicit length of
zero, which has special meaning for MySQL. Pull request courtesy J. Nick
Koston.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm
:tickets: 9537
Expanded the warning emitted when a plain :func:`_sql.column` object is
present in a Declarative mapping to include any arbitrary SQL expression
that is not declared within an appropriate property type such as
:func:`_orm.column_property`, :func:`_orm.deferred`, etc. These attributes
are otherwise not mapped at all and remain unchanged within the class
dictionary. As it seems likely that such an expression is usually not
what's intended, this case now warns for all such otherwise ignored
expressions, rather than just the :func:`_sql.column` case.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm
:tickets: 9519
Fixed regression where accessing the expression value of a hybrid property
on a class that was either unmapped or not-yet-mapped (such as calling upon
it within a :func:`_orm.declared_attr` method) would raise an internal
error, as an internal fetch for the parent class' mapper would fail and an
instruction for this failure to be ignored were inadvertently removed in
2.0.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm
:tickets: 9350
Fields that are declared on Declarative Mixins and then combined with
classes that make use of :class:`_orm.MappedAsDataclass`, where those mixin
fields are not themselves part of a dataclass, now emit a deprecation
warning as these fields will be ignored in a future release, as Python
dataclasses behavior is to ignore these fields. Type checkers will not see
these fields under pep-681.

:ref:`error_dcmx` - background on rationale

.. change::
:tags: bug, postgresql
:tickets: 9511
Fixed critical regression in PostgreSQL dialects such as asyncpg which rely
upon explicit casts in SQL in order for datatypes to be passed to the
driver correctly, where a :class:`.String` datatype would be cast along
with the exact column length being compared, leading to implicit truncation
when comparing a ``VARCHAR`` of a smaller length to a string of greater
length regardless of operator in use (e.g. LIKE, MATCH, etc.). The
PostgreSQL dialect now omits the length from ``VARCHAR`` when rendering
these casts.
.. change::
:tags: bug, util
:tickets: 9487
Implemented missing methods ``copy`` and ``pop`` in
OrderedSet class.
.. change::
:tags: bug, typing
:tickets: 9536
Fixed typing for :func:`_orm.deferred` and :func:`_orm.query_expression`
to work correctly with 2.0 style mappings.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm
:tickets: 9526
Fixed issue where the :meth:`_sql.BindParameter.render_literal_execute`
method would fail when called on a parameter that also had ORM annotations
associated with it. In practice, this would be observed as a failure of SQL
compilation when using some combinations of a dialect that uses "FETCH
FIRST" such as Oracle along with a :class:`_sql.Select` construct that uses
:meth:`_sql.Select.limit`, within some ORM contexts, including if the
statement were embedded within a relationship primaryjoin expression.
.. change::
:tags: usecase, orm
:tickets: 9563
Exceptions such as ``TypeError`` and ``ValueError`` raised by Python
dataclasses when making use of the :class:`_orm.MappedAsDataclass` mixin
class or :meth:`_orm.registry.mapped_as_dataclass` decorator are now
wrapped within an :class:`.InvalidRequestError` wrapper along with
informative context about the error message, referring to the Python
dataclasses documentation as the authoritative source of background
information on the cause of the exception.
.. seealso::
:ref:`error_dcte`
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm
:tickets: 9549
Towards maintaining consistency with unit-of-work changes made for
:ticket:`5984` and :ticket:`8862`, both of which disable "lazy='raise'"
handling within :class:`_orm.Session` processes that aren't triggered by
attribute access, the :meth:`_orm.Session.delete` method will now also
disable "lazy='raise'" handling when it traverses relationship paths in
order to process the "delete" and "delete-orphan" cascade rules.
Previously, there was no easy way to generically call
:meth:`_orm.Session.delete` on an object that had "lazy='raise'" set up
such that only the necessary relationships would be loaded. As
"lazy='raise'" is primarily intended to catch SQL loading that emits on
attribute access, :meth:`_orm.Session.delete` is now made to behave like
other :class:`_orm.Session` methods including :meth:`_orm.Session.merge` as
well as :meth:`_orm.Session.flush` along with autoflush.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm
:tickets: 9564
Fixed issue where an annotation-only :class:`_orm.Mapped` directive could
not be used in a Declarative mixin class, without that attribute attempting
to take effect for single- or joined-inheritance subclasses of mapped
classes that had already mapped that attribute on a superclass, producing
conflicting column errors and/or warnings.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm, typing
:tickets: 9514
Properly type :paramref:`_dml.Insert.from_select.names` to accept
a list of string or columns or mapped attributes.

### 2.0.7
```
:released: March 18, 2023
.. change::
:tags: usecase, postgresql
:tickets: 9416
Added new PostgreSQL type :class:`_postgresql.CITEXT`. Pull request
courtesy Julian David Rath.
.. change::
:tags: bug, typing
:tickets: 9502
Fixed typing issue where :func:`_orm.composite` would not allow an
arbitrary callable as the source of the composite class.
.. change::
:tags: usecase, postgresql
:tickets: 9442
Modifications to the base PostgreSQL dialect to allow for better integration with the
sqlalchemy-redshift third party dialect for SQLAlchemy 2.0. Pull request courtesy
matthewgdv.
.. changelog::
```
### 2.0.6
```
:released: March 13, 2023
.. change::
:tags: bug, sql, regression
:tickets: 9461
Fixed regression where the fix for :ticket:`8098`, which was released in
the 1.4 series and provided a layer of concurrency-safe checks for the
lambda SQL API, included additional fixes in the patch that failed to be
applied to the main branch. These additional fixes have been applied.
.. change::
:tags: bug, typing
:tickets: 9451
Fixed typing issue where :meth:`.ColumnElement.cast` did not allow a
:class:`.TypeEngine` argument independent of the type of the
:class:`.ColumnElement` itself, which is the purpose of
:meth:`.ColumnElement.cast`.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm
:tickets: 9460
Fixed bug where the "active history" feature was not fully
implemented for composite attributes, making it impossible to receive
events that included the "old" value. This seems to have been the case
with older SQLAlchemy versions as well, where "active_history" would
be propagated to the underlying column-based attributes, but an event
handler listening to the composite attribute itself would not be given
the "old" value being replaced, even if the composite() were set up
with active_history=True.
Additionally, fixed a regression that's local to 2.0 which disallowed
active_history on composite from being assigned to the impl with
``attr.impl.active_history=True``.
.. change::
:tags: bug, oracle
:tickets: 9459
Fixed reflection bug where Oracle "name normalize" would not work correctly
for reflection of symbols that are in the "PUBLIC" schema, such as
synonyms, meaning the PUBLIC name could not be indicated as lower case on
the Python side for the :paramref:`_schema.Table.schema` argument. Using
uppercase "PUBLIC" would work, but would then lead to awkward SQL queries
including a quoted ``"PUBLIC"`` name as well as indexing the table under
uppercase "PUBLIC", which was inconsistent.
.. change::
:tags: bug, typing
Fixed issues to allow typing tests to pass under Mypy 1.1.1.
.. change::
:tags: bug, sql
:tickets: 9440
Fixed regression where the :func:`_sql.select` construct would not be able
to render if it were given no columns and then used in the context of an
EXISTS, raising an internal exception instead. While an empty "SELECT" is
not typically valid SQL, in the context of EXISTS databases such as
PostgreSQL allow it, and in any case the condition now no longer raises
an internal exception.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm
:tickets: 9418
Fixed regression involving pickling of Python rows between the cython and
pure Python implementations of :class:`.Row`, which occurred as part of
refactoring code for version 2.0 with typing. A particular constant were
turned into a string based ``Enum`` for the pure Python version of
:class:`.Row` whereas the cython version continued to use an integer
constant, leading to deserialization failures.
.. changelog::
```
### 2.0.5.post1
```
:released: March 5, 2023
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm
:tickets: 9418
Added constructor arguments to the built-in mapping collection types
including :class:`.KeyFuncDict`, :func:`_orm.attribute_keyed_dict`,
:func:`_orm.column_keyed_dict` so that these dictionary types may be
constructed in place given the data up front; this provides further
compatibility with tools such as Python dataclasses ``.asdict()`` which
relies upon invoking these classes directly as ordinary dictionary classes.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm, regression
:tickets: 9424
Fixed multiple regressions due to :ticket:`8372`, involving
:func:`_orm.attribute_mapped_collection` (now called
:func:`_orm.attribute_keyed_dict`).
First, the collection was no longer usable with "key" attributes that were
not themselves ordinary mapped attributes; attributes linked to descriptors
and/or association proxy attributes have been fixed.
Second, if an event or other operation needed access to the "key" in order
to populate the dictionary from an mapped attribute that was not
loaded, this also would raise an error inappropriately, rather than
trying to load the attribute as was the behavior in 1.4. This is also
fixed.
For both cases, the behavior of :ticket:`8372` has been expanded.
:ticket:`8372` introduced an error that raises when the derived key that
would be used as a mapped dictionary key is effectively unassigned. In this
change, a warning only is emitted if the effective value of the ".key"
attribute is ``None``, where it cannot be unambiguously determined if this
``None`` was intentional or not. ``None`` will be not supported as mapped
collection dictionary keys going forward (as it typically refers to NULL
which means "unknown"). Setting
:paramref:`_orm.attribute_keyed_dict.ignore_unpopulated_attribute` will now
cause such ``None`` keys to be ignored as well.
.. change::
:tags: engine, performance
:tickets: 9343
A small optimization to the Cython implementation of :class:`.Result`
using a cdef for a particular int value to avoid Python overhead. Pull
request courtesy Matus Valo.
.. change::
:tags: bug, mssql
:tickets: 9414
Fixed issue in the new :class:`.Uuid` datatype which prevented it from
working with the pymssql driver. As pymssql seems to be maintained again,
restored testing support for pymssql.
.. change::
:tags: bug, mssql
Tweaked the pymssql dialect to take better advantage of
RETURNING for INSERT statements in order to retrieve last inserted primary
key values, in the same way as occurs for the mssql+pyodbc dialect right
now.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm
Identified that the ``sqlite`` and ``mssql+pyodbc`` dialects are now
compatible with the SQLAlchemy ORM's "versioned rows" feature, since
SQLAlchemy now computes rowcount for a RETURNING statement in this specific
case by counting the rows returned, rather than relying upon
``cursor.rowcount``. In particular, the ORM versioned rows use case
(documented at :ref:`mapper_version_counter`) should now be fully
supported with the SQL Server pyodbc dialect.
.. change::
:tags: bug, postgresql
:tickets: 9349
Fixed issue in PostgreSQL :class:`_postgresql.ExcludeConstraint` where
literal values were being compiled as bound parameters and not direct
inline values as is required for DDL.
.. change::
:tags: bug, typing
Fixed bug where the :meth:`_engine.Connection.scalars` method was not typed
as allowing a multiple-parameters list, which is now supported using
insertmanyvalues operations.
.. change::
:tags: bug, typing
:tickets: 9376
Improved typing for the mapping passed to :meth:`.Insert.values` and
:meth:`.Update.values` to be more open-ended about collection type, by
indicating read-only ``Mapping`` instead of writeable ``Dict`` which would
error out on too limited of a key type.
.. change::
:tags: schema
Validate that when provided the :paramref:`_schema.MetaData.schema`
argument of :class:`_schema.MetaData` is a string.
.. change::
:tags: typing, usecase
:tickets: 9338
Exported the type returned by
:meth:`_orm.scoped_session.query_property` using a new public type
:class:`.orm.QueryPropertyDescriptor`.
.. change::
:tags: bug, mysql, postgresql
:tickets: 5648
The support for pool ping listeners to receive exception events via the
:meth:`.DialectEvents.handle_error` event added in 2.0.0b1 for
:ticket:`5648` failed to take into account dialect-specific ping routines
such as that of MySQL and PostgreSQL. The dialect feature has been reworked
so that all dialects participate within event handling. Additionally,
a new boolean element :attr:`.ExceptionContext.is_pre_ping` is added
which identifies if this operation is occurring within the pre-ping
operation.
For this release, third party dialects which implement a custom
:meth:`_engine.Dialect.do_ping` method can opt in to the newly improved
behavior by having their method no longer catch exceptions or check
exceptions for "is_disconnect", instead just propagating all exceptions
outwards. Checking the exception for "is_disconnect" is now done by an
enclosing method on the default dialect, which ensures that the event hook
is invoked for all exception scenarios before testing the exception as a
"disconnect" exception. If an existing ``do_ping()`` method continues to
catch exceptions and check "is_disconnect", it will continue to work as it
did previously, but ``handle_error`` hooks will not have access to the
exception if it isn't propagated outwards.
.. change::
:tags: bug, ext
:tickets: 9367
Fixed issue in automap where calling :meth:`_automap.AutomapBase.prepare`
from a specific mapped class, rather than from the
:class:`_automap.AutomapBase` directly, would not use the correct base
class when automap detected new tables, instead using the given class,
leading to mappers trying to configure inheritance. While one should
normally call :meth:`_automap.AutomapBase.prepare` from the base in any
case, it shouldn't misbehave that badly when called from a subclass.
.. change::
:tags: bug, sqlite, regression
:tickets: 9379
Fixed regression for SQLite connections where use of the ``deterministic``
parameter when establishing database functions would fail for older SQLite
versions, those prior to version 3.8.3. The version checking logic has been
improved to accommodate for this case.
.. change::
:tags: bug, typing
:tickets: 9391
Added missing init overload to the :class:`_types.Numeric` type object so
that pep-484 type checkers may properly resolve the complete type, deriving
from the :paramref:`_types.Numeric.asdecimal` parameter whether ``Decimal``
or ``float`` objects will be represented.
.. change::
:tags: bug, typing
:tickets: 9398
Fixed typing bug where :meth:`_sql.Select.from_statement` would not accept
:func:`_sql.text` or :class:`.TextualSelect` objects as a valid type.
Additionally repaired the :class:`.TextClause.columns` method to have a
return type, which was missing.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm declarative
:tickets: 9332
Fixed issue where new :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.use_existing_column`
feature would not work if the two same-named columns were mapped under
attribute names that were differently-named from an explicit name given to
the column itself. The attribute names can now be differently named when
using this parameter.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm
:tickets: 9373
Added support for the :paramref:`_orm.Mapper.polymorphic_load` parameter to
be applied to each mapper in an inheritance hierarchy more than one level
deep, allowing columns to load for all classes in the hierarchy that
indicate ``"selectin"`` using a single statement, rather than ignoring
elements on those intermediary classes that nonetheless indicate they also
would participate in ``"selectin"`` loading and were not part of the
base-most SELECT statement.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm
:tickets: 8853, 9335
Continued the fix for :ticket:`8853`, allowing the :class:`_orm.Mapped`
name to be fully qualified regardless of whether or not
``from __annotations__ import future`` were present. This issue first fixed
in 2.0.0b3 confirmed that this case worked via the test suite, however the
test suite apparently was not testing the behavior for the name
:class:`_orm.Mapped` not being locally present at all; string resolution
has been updated to ensure the :class:`_orm.Mapped` symbol is locatable as
applies to how the ORM uses these functions.
.. change::
:tags: bug, typing
:tickets: 9340
Fixed typing issue where :func:`_orm.with_polymorphic` would not
record the class type correctly.
.. change::
:tags: bug, ext, regression
:tickets: 9380
Fixed regression caused by typing added to ``sqlalchemy.ext.mutable`` for
:ticket:`8667`, where the semantics of the ``.pop()`` method changed such
that the method was non-working. Pull request courtesy Nils Philippsen.
.. change::
:tags: bug, sql, regression
:tickets: 9390
Restore the :func:`.nullslast` and :func:`.nullsfirst` legacy functions
into the ``sqlalchemy`` import namespace. Previously, the newer
:func:`.nulls_last` and :func:`.nulls_first` functions were available, but
the legacy ones were inadvertently removed.
.. change::
:tags: bug, postgresql
:tickets: 9401
Fixed issue where the PostgreSQL :class:`_postgresql.ExcludeConstraint`
construct would not be copyable within operations such as
:meth:`_schema.Table.to_metadata` as well as within some Alembic scenarios,
if the constraint contained textual expression elements.
.. change::
:tags: bug, engine
:tickets: 9423
Fixed bug where :class:`_engine.Row` objects could not be reliably unpickled
across processes due to an accidental reliance on an unstable hash value.
.. changelog::
```
### 2.0.4
```
:released: February 17, 2023
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm, regression
:tickets: 9273
Fixed regression introduced in version 2.0.2 due to :ticket:`9217` where
using DML RETURNING statements, as well as
:meth:`_sql.Select.from_statement` constructs as was "fixed" in
:ticket:`9217`, in conjunction with ORM mapped classes that used
expressions such as with :func:`_orm.column_property`, would lead to an
internal error within Core where it would attempt to match the expression
by name. The fix repairs the Core issue, and also adjusts the fix in
:ticket:`9217` to not take effect for the DML RETURNING use case, where it
adds unnecessary overhead.
.. change::
:tags: usecase, typing
:tickets: 9321
Improved the typing support for the :ref:`hybrids_toplevel`
extension, updated all documentation to use ORM Annotated Declarative
mappings, and added a new modifier called :attr:`.hybrid_property.inplace`.
This modifier provides a way to alter the state of a :class:`.hybrid_property`
**in place**, which is essentially what very early versions of hybrids
did, before SQLAlchemy version 1.2.0 :ticket:`3912` changed this to
remove in-place mutation. This in-place mutation is now restored on an
**opt-in** basis to allow a single hybrid to have multiple methods
set up, without the need to name all the methods the same and without the
need to carefully "chain" differently-named methods in order to maintain
the composition. Typing tools such as Mypy and Pyright do not allow
same-named methods on a class, so with this change a succinct method
of setting up hybrids with typing support is restored.
.. seealso::
:ref:`hybrid_pep484_naming`
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm
Marked the internal ``EvaluatorCompiler`` module as private to the ORM, and
renamed it to ``_EvaluatorCompiler``. For users that may have been relying
upon this, the name ``EvaluatorCompiler`` is still present, however this
use is not supported and will be removed in a future release.
.. change::
:tags: orm, use_case
:tickets: 9297
To accommodate a change in column ordering used by ORM Declarative in
SQLAlchemy 2.0, a new parameter :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.sort_order`
has been added that can be used to control the order of the columns defined
in the table by the ORM, for common use cases such as mixins with primary
key columns that should appear first in tables. The change notes at
:ref:`change_9297` illustrate the default change in ordering behavior
(which is part of all SQLAlchemy 2.0 releases) as well as use of the
:paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.sort_order` to control column ordering when
using mixins and multiple classes (new in 2.0.4).
.. seealso::
:ref:`change_9297`
.. change::
:tags: sql
:tickets: 9277
Added public property :attr:`_schema.Table.autoincrement_column` that
returns the column identified as autoincrementing in the column.
.. change::
:tags: oracle, bug
:tickets: 9295
Adjusted the behavior of the ``thick_mode`` parameter for the
:ref:`oracledb` dialect to correctly accept ``False`` as a value.
Previously, only ``None`` would indicate that thick mode should be
disabled.
.. change::
:tags: usecase, orm
:tickets: 9298
The :meth:`_orm.Session.refresh` method will now immediately load a
relationship-bound attribute that is explicitly named within the
:paramref:`_orm.Session.refresh.attribute_names` collection even if it is
currently linked to the "select" loader, which normally is a "lazy" loader
that does not fire off during a refresh. The "lazy loader" strategy will
now detect that the operation is specifically a user-initiated
:meth:`_orm.Session.refresh` operation which named this attribute
explicitly, and will then call upon the "immediateload" strategy to
actually emit SQL to load the attribute. This should be helpful in
particular for some asyncio situations where the loading of an unloaded
lazy-loaded attribute must be forced, without using the actual lazy-loading
attribute pattern not supported in asyncio.
.. change::
:tags: bug, sql
:tickets: 9313
Fixed issue where element types of a tuple value would be hardcoded to take
on the types from a compared-to tuple, when the comparison were using the
:meth:`.ColumnOperators.in_` operator. This was inconsistent with the usual
way that types are determined for a binary expression, which is that the
actual element type on the right side is considered first before applying
the left-hand-side type.
.. change::
:tags: usecase, orm declarative
:tickets: 9266
Added new parameter ``dataclasses_callable`` to both the
:class:`_orm.MappedAsDataclass` class as well as the
:meth:`_orm.registry.mapped_as_dataclass` method which allows an
alternative callable to Python ``dataclasses.dataclass`` to be used in
order to produce dataclasses. The use case here is to drop in Pydantic's
dataclass function instead. Adjustments have been made to the mixin support
added for :ticket:`9179` in version 2.0.1 so that the ``__annotations__``
collection of the mixin is rewritten to not include the
:class:`_orm.Mapped` container, in the same way as occurs with mapped
classes, so that the Pydantic dataclasses constructor is not exposed to
unknown types.

### 2.0.3
```
:released: February 9, 2023
.. change::
:tags: typing, bug
:tickets: 9254
Remove ``typing.Self`` workaround, now using :pep:`673` for most methods
that return ``Self``. As a consequence of this change ``mypy>=1.0.0`` is
now required to type check SQLAlchemy code.
Pull request courtesy Yurii Karabas.
.. change::
:tags: bug, sql, regression
:tickets: 9271
Fixed critical regression in SQL expression formulation in the 2.0 series
due to :ticket:`7744` which improved support for SQL expressions that
contained many elements against the same operator repeatedly; parenthesis
grouping would be lost with expression elements beyond the first two
elements.
.. changelog::
```
### 2.0.2
```
:released: February 6, 2023
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm declarative
:tickets: 9249
Fixed regression caused by the fix for :ticket:`9171`, which itself was
fixing a regression, involving the mechanics of ``__init__()`` on classes
that extend from :class:`_orm.DeclarativeBase`. The change made it such
that ``__init__()`` was applied to the user-defined base if there were no
``__init__()`` method directly on the class. This has been adjusted so that
``__init__()`` is applied only if no other class in the hierarchy of the
user-defined base has an ``__init__()`` method. This again allows
user-defined base classes based on :class:`_orm.DeclarativeBase` to include
mixins that themselves include a custom ``__init__()`` method.
.. change::
:tags: bug, mysql, regression
:tickets: 9251
Fixed regression caused by issue :ticket:`9058` which adjusted the MySQL
dialect's ``has_table()`` to again use "DESCRIBE", where the specific error
code raised by MySQL version 8 when using a non-existent schema name was
unexpected and failed to be interpreted as a boolean result.
.. change::
:tags: bug, sqlite
:tickets: 9251
Fixed the SQLite dialect's ``has_table()`` function to correctly report
False for queries that include a non-None schema name for a schema that
doesn't exist; previously, a database error was raised.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm declarative
:tickets: 9226
Fixed issue in ORM Declarative Dataclass mappings related to newly added
support for mixins added in 2.0.1 via :ticket:`9179`, where a combination
of using mixins plus ORM inheritance would mis-classify fields in some
cases leading to field-level dataclass arguments such as ``init=False`` being
lost.

Fixed obscure ORM inheritance issue caused by :ticket:`8705` where some
scenarios of inheriting mappers that indicated groups of columns from the
local table and the inheriting table together under a
:func:`_orm.column_property` would nonetheless warn that properties of the
same name were being combined implicitly.

:tags: orm, bug, regression
:tickets: 9228
Fixed regression where using the :paramref:`_orm.Mapper.version_id_col`
feature with a regular Python-side incrementing column would fail to work
for SQLite and other databases that don't support "rowcount" with
"RETURNING", as "RETURNING" would be assumed for such columns even though
that's not what actually takes place.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm declarative
:tickets: 9240
Repaired ORM Declarative mappings to allow for the
:paramref:`_orm.Mapper.primary_key` parameter to be specified within
``__mapper_args__`` when using :func:`_orm.mapped_column`. Despite this
usage being directly in the 2.0 documentation, the :class:`_orm.Mapper` was
not accepting the :func:`_orm.mapped_column` construct in this context. Ths
feature was already working for the :paramref:`_orm.Mapper.version_id_col`
and :paramref:`_orm.Mapper.polymorphic_on` parameters.
As part of this change, the ``__mapper_args__`` attribute may be specified
without using :func:`_orm.declared_attr` on a non-mapped mixin class,
including a ``"primary_key"`` entry that refers to :class:`_schema.Column`
or :func:`_orm.mapped_column` objects locally present on the mixin;
Declarative will also translate these columns into the correct ones for a
particular mapped class. This again was working already for the
:paramref:`_orm.Mapper.version_id_col` and
:paramref:`_orm.Mapper.polymorphic_on` parameters. Additionally,
elements within ``"primary_key"`` may be indicated as string names of
existing mapped properties.

An explicit error is raised if a mapping attempts to mix the use of
:class:`_orm.MappedAsDataclass` with
:meth:`_orm.registry.mapped_as_dataclass` within the same class hierarchy,
as this produces issues with the dataclass function being applied at the
wrong time to the mapped class, leading to errors during the mapping
process.

:tickets: 9217
Fixed regression when using :meth:`_sql.Select.from_statement` in an ORM
context, where matching of columns to SQL labels based on name alone was
disabled for ORM-statements that weren't fully textual. This would prevent
arbitrary SQL expressions with column-name labels from matching up to the
entity to be loaded, which previously would work within the 1.4
and previous series, so the previous behavior has been restored.
.. change::
:tags: bug, asyncio
:tickets: 9237
Repaired a regression caused by the fix for :ticket:`8419` which caused
asyncpg connections to be reset (i.e. transaction ``rollback()`` called)
and returned to the pool normally in the case that the connection were not
explicitly returned to the connection pool and was instead being
intercepted by Python garbage collection, which would fail if the garbage
collection operation were being called outside of the asyncio event loop,
leading to a large amount of stack trace activity dumped into logging
and standard output.
The correct behavior is restored, which is that all asyncio connections
that are garbage collected due to not being explicitly returned to the
connection pool are detached from the pool and discarded, along with a
warning, rather than being returned the pool, as they cannot be reliably
reset. In the case of asyncpg connections, the asyncpg-specific
``terminate()`` method will be used to end the connection more gracefully
within this process as opposed to just dropping it.
This change includes a small behavioral change that is hoped to be useful
for debugging asyncio applications, where the warning that's emitted in the
case of asyncio connections being unexpectedly garbage collected has been
made slightly more aggressive by moving it outside of a ``try/except``
block and into a ``finally:`` block, where it will emit unconditionally
regardless of whether the detach/termination operation succeeded or not. It
will also have the effect that applications or test suites which promote
Python warnings to exceptions will see this as a full exception raise,
whereas previously it was not possible for this warning to actually
propagate as an exception. Applications and test suites which need to
tolerate this warning in the interim should adjust the Python warnings
filter to allow these warnings to not raise.
The behavior for traditional sync connections remains unchanged, that
garbage collected connections continue to be returned to the pool normally
without emitting a warning. This will likely be changed in a future major
release to at least emit a similar warning as is emitted for asyncio
drivers, as it is a usage error for pooled connections to be intercepted by
garbage collection without being properly returned to the pool.
.. change::
:tags: usecase, orm
:tickets: 9220
Added new event hook :meth:`_orm.MapperEvents.after_mapper_constructed`,
which supplies an event hook to take place right as the
:class:`_orm.Mapper` object has been fully constructed, but before the
:meth:`_orm.registry.configure` call has been called. This allows code that
can create additional mappings and table structures based on the initial
configuration of a :class:`_orm.Mapper`, which also integrates within
Declarative configuration. Previously, when using Declarative, where the
:class:`_orm.Mapper` object is created within the class creation process,
there was no documented means of running code at this point. The change
is to immediately benefit custom mapping schemes such as that
of the :ref:`examples_versioned_history` example, which generate additional
mappers and tables in response to the creation of mapped classes.
.. change::
:tags: usecase, orm
:tickets: 9220
The infrequently used :attr:`_orm.Mapper.iterate_properties` attribute and
:meth:`_orm.Mapper.get_property` method, which are primarily used
internally, no longer implicitly invoke the :meth:`_orm.registry.configure`
process. Public access to these methods is extremely rare and the only
benefit to having :meth:`_orm.registry.configure` would have been allowing
"backref" properties be present in these collections. In order to support
the new :meth:`_orm.MapperEvents.after_mapper_constructed` event, iteration
and access to the internal :class:`_orm.MapperProperty` objects is now
possible without triggering an implicit configure of the mapper itself.
The more-public facing route to iteration of all mapper attributes, the
:attr:`_orm.Mapper.attrs` collection and similar, will still implicitly
invoke the :meth:`_orm.registry.configure` step thus making backref
attributes available.
In all cases, the :meth:`_orm.registry.configure` is always available to
be called directly.

Reworked the :ref:`examples_versioned_history` to work with

Added support for MySQL 8's new ``AS <name> ON DUPLICATE KEY`` syntax when
using :meth:`_mysql.Insert.on_duplicate_key_update`, which is required for
newer versions of MySQL 8 as the previous syntax using ``VALUES()`` now
emits a deprecation warning with those versions. Server version detection
is employed to determine if traditional MariaDB / MySQL < 8 ``VALUES()``
syntax should be used, vs. the newer MySQL 8 required syntax. Pull request

table and mapped class arguments, as seems to be available for the MySQL
dialect.

:tags: bug, sql
:tickets: 7664
Corrected the fix for :ticket:`7664`, released in version 2.0.0, to also
include :class:`.DropSchema` which was inadvertently missed in this fix,
allowing stringification without a dialect. The fixes for both constructs
is backported to the 1.4 series as of 1.4.47.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm declarative
:tickets: 9175
Added support for :pep:`484` ``NewType`` to be used in the
:paramref:`_orm.registry.type_annotation_map` as well as within
:class:`.Mapped` constructs. These types will behave in the same way as
custom subclasses of types right now; they must appear explicitly within
the :paramref:`_orm.registry.type_annotation_map` to be mapped.
.. change::
:tags: bug, typing
:tickets: 9183
Fixed typing for limit/offset methods including :meth:`.Select.limit`,
:meth:`.Select.offset`, :meth:`_orm.Query.limit`, :meth:`_orm.Query.offset`
to allow ``None``, which is the documented API to "cancel" the current
limit/offset.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm declarative
:tickets: 9179
When using the :class:`.MappedAsDataclass` superclass, all classes within
the hierarchy that are subclasses of this class will now be run through the
``dataclasses.dataclass`` function whether or not they are actually
mapped, so that non-ORM fields declared on non-mapped classes within the
hierarchy will be used when mapped subclasses are turned into dataclasses.
This behavior applies both to intermediary classes mapped with
``__abstract__ = True`` as well as to the user-defined declarative base
itself, assuming :class:`.MappedAsDataclass` is present as a superclass for
these classes.
This allows non-mapped attributes such as ``InitVar`` declarations on
superclasses to be used, without the need to run the
``dataclasses.dataclass`` decorator explicitly on each non-mapped class.
The new behavior is considered as correct as this is what the :pep:`681`
implementation expects when using a superclass to indicate dataclass
behavior.
.. change::
:tags: bug, typing
:tickets: 9170
Fixed typing issue where :func:`_orm.mapped_column` objects typed as
:class:`_orm.Mapped` wouldn't be accepted in schema constraints such as
:class:`_schema.ForeignKey`, :class:`_schema.UniqueConstraint` or
:class:`_schema.Index`.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm declarative
:tickets: 9187
Added support for :pep:`586` ``Literal[]`` to be used in the
:paramref:`_orm.registry.type_annotation_map` as well as within
:class:`.Mapped` constructs. To use custom types such as these, they must
appear explicitly within the :paramref:`_orm.registry.type_annotation_map`
to be mapped. Pull request courtesy Frederik Aalund.
As part of this change, the support for :class:`.sqltypes.Enum` in the
:paramref:`_orm.registry.type_annotation_map` has been expanded to include
support for ``Literal[]`` types consisting of string values to be used,
in addition to ``enum.Enum`` datatypes. If a ``Literal[]`` datatype
is used within ``Mapped[]`` that is not linked in
:paramref:`_orm.registry.type_annotation_map` to a specific datatype,
a :class:`.sqltypes.Enum` will be used by default.

copied to the mapped column datatype, if it were overridden
as stated in the documentation to set this parameter to False.
.. change::
:tags: bug, orm declarative, regression
:tickets: 9171
Fixed regression in :class:`.DeclarativeBase` class where the registry's
default constructor would not be applied to the base itself, which is
different from how the previous :func:`_orm.declarative_base` construct
works. This would prevent a mapped class with its own ``__init__()`` method
from calling ``super().__init__()`` in order to access the registry's
default constructor and automatically populate attributes, instead hitting
``object.__init__()`` which would raise a ``TypeError`` on any arguments.

Fixed regression related to the implementation for the new
"insertmanyvalues" feature where an internal ``TypeError`` would occur in
arrangements where a :func:`_sql.insert` would be referred towards inside
of another :func:`_sql.insert` via a CTE; made additional repairs for this
use case for positional dialects such as asyncpg when using
"insertmanyvalues".

Improved the ruleset used to interpret :pep:`593` ``Annotated`` types when
used with Annotated Declarative mapping, the inner type will be checked for
"Optional" in all cases which will be added to the criteria by which the
column is set as "nullable" or not; if the type within the ``Annotated``
container is optional (or unioned with ``None``), the column will be
considered nullable if there are no explicit
:paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.nullable` parameters overriding it.

Improved the error reporting when linking strategy options from a base
class to another attribute that's off a subclass, where ``of_type()``
should be used. Previously, when :meth:`.Load.options` is used, the message
would lack informative detail that ``of_type()`` should be used, which was
not the case when linking the options directly. The informative detail now
emits even if :meth:`.Load.options` is used.

:tags: bug, sql
:tickets: 7664
Fixed stringify for a the :class:`.CreateSchema` DDL construct, which
would fail with an ``AttributeError`` when stringified without a
dialect. Update: Note this fix failed to accommodate for
:class:`.DropSchema`; a followup fix in version 2.0.1 repairs this
case. The fix for both elements is backported to 1.4.47.

Added new feature to :class:`.AutomapBase` for autoload of classes across
multiple schemas which may have overlapping names, by providing a
:paramref:`.AutomapBase.prepare.modulename_for_table` parameter which
allows customization of the ``__module__`` attribute of newly generated
classes, as well as a new collection :attr:`.AutomapBase.by_module`, which
stores a dot-separated namespace of module names linked to classes based on
the ``__module__`` attribute.
Additionally, the :meth:`.AutomapBase.prepare` method may now be invoked
any number of times, with or without reflection enabled; only newly
added tables that were not previously mapped will be processed on each
call. Previously, the :meth:`.MetaData.reflect` method would need to be
called explicitly each time.

The :func:`_sql.or_` and :func:`_sql.and_` from a typing perspective
require the first argument to be present, however these functions still
accept zero arguments which will emit a deprecation warning at runtime.
Typing is also added to support sending the fixed literal ``False`` for
:func:`_sql.or_` and ``True`` for :func:`_sql.and_` as the first argument
only, however the documentation now indicates sending the
:func:`_sql.false` and :func:`_sql.true` constructs in these cases as a
more explicit approach.

The newly added comment reflection and rendering capability of the MSSQL
dialect, added in :ticket:`7844`, will now be disabled by default if it
cannot be determined that an unsupported backend such as Azure Synapse may
be in use; this backend does not support table and column comments and does
not support the SQL Server routines in use to generate them as well as to
reflect them. A new parameter ``supports_comments`` is added to the dialect
which defaults to ``None``, indicating that comment support should be
auto-detected. When set to ``True`` or ``False``, the comment support is
either enabled or disabled unconditionally.

Fixes to the annotations within the ``sqlalchemy.ext.hybrid`` extension for

:pep:`612` features, now supported by recent versions of Mypy, to maintain

Added an error message when a :func:`_orm.relationship` is mapped against
an abstract container type, such as ``Mapped[Sequence[B]]``, without
providing the :paramref:`_orm.relationship.container_class` parameter which
is necessary when the type is abstract. Previously the the abstract
container would attempt to be instantiated at a later step and fail.
.. change::
:tags: orm, feature
:tickets: 9060
Added a new parameter to :class:`_orm.Mapper` called
:paramref:`_orm.Mapper.polymorphic_abstract`. The purpose of this directive
is so that the ORM will not consider the class to be instantiated or loaded
directly, only subclasses. The actual effect is that the
:class:`_orm.Mapper` will prevent direct instantiation of instances
of the class and will expect that the class does not have a distinct
polymorphic identity configured.
In practice, the class that is mapped with
:paramref:`_orm.Mapper.polymorphic_abstract` can be used as the target of a
:func:`_orm.relationship` as well as be used in queries; subclasses must of
course include polymorphic identities in their mappings.
The new parameter is automatically applied to classes that subclass
the :class:`.AbstractConcreteBase` class, as this class is not intended
to be instantiated.

Restored the behavior of :meth:`.Inspector.has_table` to report on
temporary tables for MySQL / MariaDB. This is currently the behavior for
all other included dialects, but was removed for MySQL in 1.4 due to no
longer using the DESCRIBE command; there was no documented support for temp
tables being reported by the :meth:`.Inspector.has_table` method in this
version or on any previous version, so the previous behavior was undefined.
As SQLAlchemy 2.0 has added formal support for temp table status via
:meth:`.Inspector.has_table`, the MySQL /MariaDB dialect has been reverted
to use the "DESCRIBE" statement as it did in the SQLAlchemy 1.3 series and
previously, and test support is added to include MySQL / MariaDB for
this behavior. The previous issues with ROLLBACK being emitted which
1.4 sought to improve upon don't apply in SQLAlchemy 2.0 due to
simplifications in how :class:`.Connection` handles transactions.
DESCRIBE is necessary as MariaDB in particular has no consistently
available public information schema of any kind in order to report on temp
tables other than DESCRIBE/SHOW COLUMNS, which rely on throwing an error
in order to report no results.

### 2.0.9 ``` :released: April 5, 2023 .. change:: :tags: bug, mssql :tickets: 9603 Due to a critical bug identified in SQL Server, the SQLAlchemy "insertmanyvalues" feature which allows fast INSERT of many rows while also supporting RETURNING unfortunately needs to be disabled for SQL Server. SQL Server is apparently unable to guarantee that the order of rows inserted matches the order in which they are sent back by OUTPUT inserted when table-valued rows are used with INSERT in conjunction with OUTPUT inserted. We are trying to see if Microsoft is able to confirm this undocumented behavior however there is no known workaround, other than it's not safe to use table-valued expressions with OUTPUT inserted for now. .. change:: :tags: bug, mariadb :tickets: 9588 Added ``row_number`` as reserved word in MariaDb. .. change:: :tags: bug, mssql :tickets: 9586 Changed the bulk INSERT strategy used for SQL Server "executemany" with pyodbc when ``fast_executemany`` is set to ``True`` by using ``fast_executemany`` / ``cursor.executemany()`` for bulk INSERT that does not include RETURNING, restoring the same behavior as was used in SQLAlchemy 1.4 when this parameter is set. New performance details from end users have shown that ``fast_executemany`` is still much faster for very large datasets as it uses ODBC commands that can receive all rows in a single round trip, allowing for much larger datasizes than the batches that can be sent by "insertmanyvalues" as was implemented for SQL Server. While this change was made such that "insertmanyvalues" continued to be used for INSERT that includes RETURNING, as well as if ``fast_executemany`` were not set, due to :ticket:`9603`, the "insertmanyvalues" strategy has been disabled for SQL Server across the board in any case. .. changelog:: ``` ### 2.0.8 ``` :released: March 31, 2023 .. change:: :tags: bug, orm :tickets: 9553 Fixed issue in ORM Annotated Declarative where using a recursive type (e.g. using a nested Dict type) would result in a recursion overflow in the ORM's annotation resolution logic, even if this datatype were not necessary to map the column. .. change:: :tags: bug, examples Fixed issue in "versioned history" example where using a declarative base that is derived from :class:`_orm.DeclarativeBase` would fail to be mapped. Additionally, repaired the given test suite so that the documented instructions for running the example using Python unittest now work again. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm :tickets: 9550 Fixed issue where the :func:`_orm.mapped_column` construct would raise an internal error if used on a Declarative mixin and included the :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.deferred` parameter. .. change:: :tags: bug, mysql :tickets: 9544 Fixed issue where string datatypes such as :class:`_sqltypes.CHAR`, :class:`_sqltypes.VARCHAR`, :class:`_sqltypes.TEXT`, as well as binary :class:`_sqltypes.BLOB`, could not be produced with an explicit length of zero, which has special meaning for MySQL. Pull request courtesy J. Nick Koston. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm :tickets: 9537 Expanded the warning emitted when a plain :func:`_sql.column` object is present in a Declarative mapping to include any arbitrary SQL expression that is not declared within an appropriate property type such as :func:`_orm.column_property`, :func:`_orm.deferred`, etc. These attributes are otherwise not mapped at all and remain unchanged within the class dictionary. As it seems likely that such an expression is usually not what's intended, this case now warns for all such otherwise ignored expressions, rather than just the :func:`_sql.column` case. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm :tickets: 9519 Fixed regression where accessing the expression value of a hybrid property on a class that was either unmapped or not-yet-mapped (such as calling upon it within a :func:`_orm.declared_attr` method) would raise an internal error, as an internal fetch for the parent class' mapper would fail and an instruction for this failure to be ignored were inadvertently removed in 2.0. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm :tickets: 9350 Fields that are declared on Declarative Mixins and then combined with classes that make use of :class:`_orm.MappedAsDataclass`, where those mixin fields are not themselves part of a dataclass, now emit a deprecation warning as these fields will be ignored in a future release, as Python dataclasses behavior is to ignore these fields. Type checkers will not see these fields under pep-681. .. seealso:: :ref:`error_dcmx` - background on rationale :ref:`orm_declarative_dc_mixins` .. change:: :tags: bug, postgresql :tickets: 9511 Fixed critical regression in PostgreSQL dialects such as asyncpg which rely upon explicit casts in SQL in order for datatypes to be passed to the driver correctly, where a :class:`.String` datatype would be cast along with the exact column length being compared, leading to implicit truncation when comparing a ``VARCHAR`` of a smaller length to a string of greater length regardless of operator in use (e.g. LIKE, MATCH, etc.). The PostgreSQL dialect now omits the length from ``VARCHAR`` when rendering these casts. .. change:: :tags: bug, util :tickets: 9487 Implemented missing methods ``copy`` and ``pop`` in OrderedSet class. .. change:: :tags: bug, typing :tickets: 9536 Fixed typing for :func:`_orm.deferred` and :func:`_orm.query_expression` to work correctly with 2.0 style mappings. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm :tickets: 9526 Fixed issue where the :meth:`_sql.BindParameter.render_literal_execute` method would fail when called on a parameter that also had ORM annotations associated with it. In practice, this would be observed as a failure of SQL compilation when using some combinations of a dialect that uses "FETCH FIRST" such as Oracle along with a :class:`_sql.Select` construct that uses :meth:`_sql.Select.limit`, within some ORM contexts, including if the statement were embedded within a relationship primaryjoin expression. .. change:: :tags: usecase, orm :tickets: 9563 Exceptions such as ``TypeError`` and ``ValueError`` raised by Python dataclasses when making use of the :class:`_orm.MappedAsDataclass` mixin class or :meth:`_orm.registry.mapped_as_dataclass` decorator are now wrapped within an :class:`.InvalidRequestError` wrapper along with informative context about the error message, referring to the Python dataclasses documentation as the authoritative source of background information on the cause of the exception. .. seealso:: :ref:`error_dcte` .. change:: :tags: bug, orm :tickets: 9549 Towards maintaining consistency with unit-of-work changes made for :ticket:`5984` and :ticket:`8862`, both of which disable "lazy='raise'" handling within :class:`_orm.Session` processes that aren't triggered by attribute access, the :meth:`_orm.Session.delete` method will now also disable "lazy='raise'" handling when it traverses relationship paths in order to process the "delete" and "delete-orphan" cascade rules. Previously, there was no easy way to generically call :meth:`_orm.Session.delete` on an object that had "lazy='raise'" set up such that only the necessary relationships would be loaded. As "lazy='raise'" is primarily intended to catch SQL loading that emits on attribute access, :meth:`_orm.Session.delete` is now made to behave like other :class:`_orm.Session` methods including :meth:`_orm.Session.merge` as well as :meth:`_orm.Session.flush` along with autoflush. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm :tickets: 9564 Fixed issue where an annotation-only :class:`_orm.Mapped` directive could not be used in a Declarative mixin class, without that attribute attempting to take effect for single- or joined-inheritance subclasses of mapped classes that had already mapped that attribute on a superclass, producing conflicting column errors and/or warnings. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm, typing :tickets: 9514 Properly type :paramref:`_dml.Insert.from_select.names` to accept a list of string or columns or mapped attributes. .. changelog:: ``` ### 2.0.7 ``` :released: March 18, 2023 .. change:: :tags: usecase, postgresql :tickets: 9416 Added new PostgreSQL type :class:`_postgresql.CITEXT`. Pull request courtesy Julian David Rath. .. change:: :tags: bug, typing :tickets: 9502 Fixed typing issue where :func:`_orm.composite` would not allow an arbitrary callable as the source of the composite class. .. change:: :tags: usecase, postgresql :tickets: 9442 Modifications to the base PostgreSQL dialect to allow for better integration with the sqlalchemy-redshift third party dialect for SQLAlchemy 2.0. Pull request courtesy matthewgdv. .. changelog:: ``` ### 2.0.6 ``` :released: March 13, 2023 .. change:: :tags: bug, sql, regression :tickets: 9461 Fixed regression where the fix for :ticket:`8098`, which was released in the 1.4 series and provided a layer of concurrency-safe checks for the lambda SQL API, included additional fixes in the patch that failed to be applied to the main branch. These additional fixes have been applied. .. change:: :tags: bug, typing :tickets: 9451 Fixed typing issue where :meth:`.ColumnElement.cast` did not allow a :class:`.TypeEngine` argument independent of the type of the :class:`.ColumnElement` itself, which is the purpose of :meth:`.ColumnElement.cast`. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm :tickets: 9460 Fixed bug where the "active history" feature was not fully implemented for composite attributes, making it impossible to receive events that included the "old" value. This seems to have been the case with older SQLAlchemy versions as well, where "active_history" would be propagated to the underlying column-based attributes, but an event handler listening to the composite attribute itself would not be given the "old" value being replaced, even if the composite() were set up with active_history=True. Additionally, fixed a regression that's local to 2.0 which disallowed active_history on composite from being assigned to the impl with ``attr.impl.active_history=True``. .. change:: :tags: bug, oracle :tickets: 9459 Fixed reflection bug where Oracle "name normalize" would not work correctly for reflection of symbols that are in the "PUBLIC" schema, such as synonyms, meaning the PUBLIC name could not be indicated as lower case on the Python side for the :paramref:`_schema.Table.schema` argument. Using uppercase "PUBLIC" would work, but would then lead to awkward SQL queries including a quoted ``"PUBLIC"`` name as well as indexing the table under uppercase "PUBLIC", which was inconsistent. .. change:: :tags: bug, typing Fixed issues to allow typing tests to pass under Mypy 1.1.1. .. change:: :tags: bug, sql :tickets: 9440 Fixed regression where the :func:`_sql.select` construct would not be able to render if it were given no columns and then used in the context of an EXISTS, raising an internal exception instead. While an empty "SELECT" is not typically valid SQL, in the context of EXISTS databases such as PostgreSQL allow it, and in any case the condition now no longer raises an internal exception. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm :tickets: 9418 Fixed regression involving pickling of Python rows between the cython and pure Python implementations of :class:`.Row`, which occurred as part of refactoring code for version 2.0 with typing. A particular constant were turned into a string based ``Enum`` for the pure Python version of :class:`.Row` whereas the cython version continued to use an integer constant, leading to deserialization failures. .. changelog:: ``` ### 2.0.5.post1 ``` :released: March 5, 2023 .. change:: :tags: bug, orm :tickets: 9418 Added constructor arguments to the built-in mapping collection types including :class:`.KeyFuncDict`, :func:`_orm.attribute_keyed_dict`, :func:`_orm.column_keyed_dict` so that these dictionary types may be constructed in place given the data up front; this provides further compatibility with tools such as Python dataclasses ``.asdict()`` which relies upon invoking these classes directly as ordinary dictionary classes. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm, regression :tickets: 9424 Fixed multiple regressions due to :ticket:`8372`, involving :func:`_orm.attribute_mapped_collection` (now called :func:`_orm.attribute_keyed_dict`). First, the collection was no longer usable with "key" attributes that were not themselves ordinary mapped attributes; attributes linked to descriptors and/or association proxy attributes have been fixed. Second, if an event or other operation needed access to the "key" in order to populate the dictionary from an mapped attribute that was not loaded, this also would raise an error inappropriately, rather than trying to load the attribute as was the behavior in 1.4. This is also fixed. For both cases, the behavior of :ticket:`8372` has been expanded. :ticket:`8372` introduced an error that raises when the derived key that would be used as a mapped dictionary key is effectively unassigned. In this change, a warning only is emitted if the effective value of the ".key" attribute is ``None``, where it cannot be unambiguously determined if this ``None`` was intentional or not. ``None`` will be not supported as mapped collection dictionary keys going forward (as it typically refers to NULL which means "unknown"). Setting :paramref:`_orm.attribute_keyed_dict.ignore_unpopulated_attribute` will now cause such ``None`` keys to be ignored as well. .. change:: :tags: engine, performance :tickets: 9343 A small optimization to the Cython implementation of :class:`.Result` using a cdef for a particular int value to avoid Python overhead. Pull request courtesy Matus Valo. .. change:: :tags: bug, mssql :tickets: 9414 Fixed issue in the new :class:`.Uuid` datatype which prevented it from working with the pymssql driver. As pymssql seems to be maintained again, restored testing support for pymssql. .. change:: :tags: bug, mssql Tweaked the pymssql dialect to take better advantage of RETURNING for INSERT statements in order to retrieve last inserted primary key values, in the same way as occurs for the mssql+pyodbc dialect right now. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm Identified that the ``sqlite`` and ``mssql+pyodbc`` dialects are now compatible with the SQLAlchemy ORM's "versioned rows" feature, since SQLAlchemy now computes rowcount for a RETURNING statement in this specific case by counting the rows returned, rather than relying upon ``cursor.rowcount``. In particular, the ORM versioned rows use case (documented at :ref:`mapper_version_counter`) should now be fully supported with the SQL Server pyodbc dialect. .. change:: :tags: bug, postgresql :tickets: 9349 Fixed issue in PostgreSQL :class:`_postgresql.ExcludeConstraint` where literal values were being compiled as bound parameters and not direct inline values as is required for DDL. .. change:: :tags: bug, typing Fixed bug where the :meth:`_engine.Connection.scalars` method was not typed as allowing a multiple-parameters list, which is now supported using insertmanyvalues operations. .. change:: :tags: bug, typing :tickets: 9376 Improved typing for the mapping passed to :meth:`.Insert.values` and :meth:`.Update.values` to be more open-ended about collection type, by indicating read-only ``Mapping`` instead of writeable ``Dict`` which would error out on too limited of a key type. .. change:: :tags: schema Validate that when provided the :paramref:`_schema.MetaData.schema` argument of :class:`_schema.MetaData` is a string. .. change:: :tags: typing, usecase :tickets: 9338 Exported the type returned by :meth:`_orm.scoped_session.query_property` using a new public type :class:`.orm.QueryPropertyDescriptor`. .. change:: :tags: bug, mysql, postgresql :tickets: 5648 The support for pool ping listeners to receive exception events via the :meth:`.DialectEvents.handle_error` event added in 2.0.0b1 for :ticket:`5648` failed to take into account dialect-specific ping routines such as that of MySQL and PostgreSQL. The dialect feature has been reworked so that all dialects participate within event handling. Additionally, a new boolean element :attr:`.ExceptionContext.is_pre_ping` is added which identifies if this operation is occurring within the pre-ping operation. For this release, third party dialects which implement a custom :meth:`_engine.Dialect.do_ping` method can opt in to the newly improved behavior by having their method no longer catch exceptions or check exceptions for "is_disconnect", instead just propagating all exceptions outwards. Checking the exception for "is_disconnect" is now done by an enclosing method on the default dialect, which ensures that the event hook is invoked for all exception scenarios before testing the exception as a "disconnect" exception. If an existing ``do_ping()`` method continues to catch exceptions and check "is_disconnect", it will continue to work as it did previously, but ``handle_error`` hooks will not have access to the exception if it isn't propagated outwards. .. change:: :tags: bug, ext :tickets: 9367 Fixed issue in automap where calling :meth:`_automap.AutomapBase.prepare` from a specific mapped class, rather than from the :class:`_automap.AutomapBase` directly, would not use the correct base class when automap detected new tables, instead using the given class, leading to mappers trying to configure inheritance. While one should normally call :meth:`_automap.AutomapBase.prepare` from the base in any case, it shouldn't misbehave that badly when called from a subclass. .. change:: :tags: bug, sqlite, regression :tickets: 9379 Fixed regression for SQLite connections where use of the ``deterministic`` parameter when establishing database functions would fail for older SQLite versions, those prior to version 3.8.3. The version checking logic has been improved to accommodate for this case. .. change:: :tags: bug, typing :tickets: 9391 Added missing init overload to the :class:`_types.Numeric` type object so that pep-484 type checkers may properly resolve the complete type, deriving from the :paramref:`_types.Numeric.asdecimal` parameter whether ``Decimal`` or ``float`` objects will be represented. .. change:: :tags: bug, typing :tickets: 9398 Fixed typing bug where :meth:`_sql.Select.from_statement` would not accept :func:`_sql.text` or :class:`.TextualSelect` objects as a valid type. Additionally repaired the :class:`.TextClause.columns` method to have a return type, which was missing. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm declarative :tickets: 9332 Fixed issue where new :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.use_existing_column` feature would not work if the two same-named columns were mapped under attribute names that were differently-named from an explicit name given to the column itself. The attribute names can now be differently named when using this parameter. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm :tickets: 9373 Added support for the :paramref:`_orm.Mapper.polymorphic_load` parameter to be applied to each mapper in an inheritance hierarchy more than one level deep, allowing columns to load for all classes in the hierarchy that indicate ``"selectin"`` using a single statement, rather than ignoring elements on those intermediary classes that nonetheless indicate they also would participate in ``"selectin"`` loading and were not part of the base-most SELECT statement. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm :tickets: 8853, 9335 Continued the fix for :ticket:`8853`, allowing the :class:`_orm.Mapped` name to be fully qualified regardless of whether or not ``from __annotations__ import future`` were present. This issue first fixed in 2.0.0b3 confirmed that this case worked via the test suite, however the test suite apparently was not testing the behavior for the name :class:`_orm.Mapped` not being locally present at all; string resolution has been updated to ensure the :class:`_orm.Mapped` symbol is locatable as applies to how the ORM uses these functions. .. change:: :tags: bug, typing :tickets: 9340 Fixed typing issue where :func:`_orm.with_polymorphic` would not record the class type correctly. .. change:: :tags: bug, ext, regression :tickets: 9380 Fixed regression caused by typing added to ``sqlalchemy.ext.mutable`` for :ticket:`8667`, where the semantics of the ``.pop()`` method changed such that the method was non-working. Pull request courtesy Nils Philippsen. .. change:: :tags: bug, sql, regression :tickets: 9390 Restore the :func:`.nullslast` and :func:`.nullsfirst` legacy functions into the ``sqlalchemy`` import namespace. Previously, the newer :func:`.nulls_last` and :func:`.nulls_first` functions were available, but the legacy ones were inadvertently removed. .. change:: :tags: bug, postgresql :tickets: 9401 Fixed issue where the PostgreSQL :class:`_postgresql.ExcludeConstraint` construct would not be copyable within operations such as :meth:`_schema.Table.to_metadata` as well as within some Alembic scenarios, if the constraint contained textual expression elements. .. change:: :tags: bug, engine :tickets: 9423 Fixed bug where :class:`_engine.Row` objects could not be reliably unpickled across processes due to an accidental reliance on an unstable hash value. .. changelog:: ``` ### 2.0.4 ``` :released: February 17, 2023 .. change:: :tags: bug, orm, regression :tickets: 9273 Fixed regression introduced in version 2.0.2 due to :ticket:`9217` where using DML RETURNING statements, as well as :meth:`_sql.Select.from_statement` constructs as was "fixed" in :ticket:`9217`, in conjunction with ORM mapped classes that used expressions such as with :func:`_orm.column_property`, would lead to an internal error within Core where it would attempt to match the expression by name. The fix repairs the Core issue, and also adjusts the fix in :ticket:`9217` to not take effect for the DML RETURNING use case, where it adds unnecessary overhead. .. change:: :tags: usecase, typing :tickets: 9321 Improved the typing support for the :ref:`hybrids_toplevel` extension, updated all documentation to use ORM Annotated Declarative mappings, and added a new modifier called :attr:`.hybrid_property.inplace`. This modifier provides a way to alter the state of a :class:`.hybrid_property` **in place**, which is essentially what very early versions of hybrids did, before SQLAlchemy version 1.2.0 :ticket:`3912` changed this to remove in-place mutation. This in-place mutation is now restored on an **opt-in** basis to allow a single hybrid to have multiple methods set up, without the need to name all the methods the same and without the need to carefully "chain" differently-named methods in order to maintain the composition. Typing tools such as Mypy and Pyright do not allow same-named methods on a class, so with this change a succinct method of setting up hybrids with typing support is restored. .. seealso:: :ref:`hybrid_pep484_naming` .. change:: :tags: bug, orm Marked the internal ``EvaluatorCompiler`` module as private to the ORM, and renamed it to ``_EvaluatorCompiler``. For users that may have been relying upon this, the name ``EvaluatorCompiler`` is still present, however this use is not supported and will be removed in a future release. .. change:: :tags: orm, use_case :tickets: 9297 To accommodate a change in column ordering used by ORM Declarative in SQLAlchemy 2.0, a new parameter :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.sort_order` has been added that can be used to control the order of the columns defined in the table by the ORM, for common use cases such as mixins with primary key columns that should appear first in tables. The change notes at :ref:`change_9297` illustrate the default change in ordering behavior (which is part of all SQLAlchemy 2.0 releases) as well as use of the :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.sort_order` to control column ordering when using mixins and multiple classes (new in 2.0.4). .. seealso:: :ref:`change_9297` .. change:: :tags: sql :tickets: 9277 Added public property :attr:`_schema.Table.autoincrement_column` that returns the column identified as autoincrementing in the column. .. change:: :tags: oracle, bug :tickets: 9295 Adjusted the behavior of the ``thick_mode`` parameter for the :ref:`oracledb` dialect to correctly accept ``False`` as a value. Previously, only ``None`` would indicate that thick mode should be disabled. .. change:: :tags: usecase, orm :tickets: 9298 The :meth:`_orm.Session.refresh` method will now immediately load a relationship-bound attribute that is explicitly named within the :paramref:`_orm.Session.refresh.attribute_names` collection even if it is currently linked to the "select" loader, which normally is a "lazy" loader that does not fire off during a refresh. The "lazy loader" strategy will now detect that the operation is specifically a user-initiated :meth:`_orm.Session.refresh` operation which named this attribute explicitly, and will then call upon the "immediateload" strategy to actually emit SQL to load the attribute. This should be helpful in particular for some asyncio situations where the loading of an unloaded lazy-loaded attribute must be forced, without using the actual lazy-loading attribute pattern not supported in asyncio. .. change:: :tags: bug, sql :tickets: 9313 Fixed issue where element types of a tuple value would be hardcoded to take on the types from a compared-to tuple, when the comparison were using the :meth:`.ColumnOperators.in_` operator. This was inconsistent with the usual way that types are determined for a binary expression, which is that the actual element type on the right side is considered first before applying the left-hand-side type. .. change:: :tags: usecase, orm declarative :tickets: 9266 Added new parameter ``dataclasses_callable`` to both the :class:`_orm.MappedAsDataclass` class as well as the :meth:`_orm.registry.mapped_as_dataclass` method which allows an alternative callable to Python ``dataclasses.dataclass`` to be used in order to produce dataclasses. The use case here is to drop in Pydantic's dataclass function instead. Adjustments have been made to the mixin support added for :ticket:`9179` in version 2.0.1 so that the ``__annotations__`` collection of the mixin is rewritten to not include the :class:`_orm.Mapped` container, in the same way as occurs with mapped classes, so that the Pydantic dataclasses constructor is not exposed to unknown types. .. seealso:: :ref:`dataclasses_pydantic` .. changelog:: ``` ### 2.0.3 ``` :released: February 9, 2023 .. change:: :tags: typing, bug :tickets: 9254 Remove ``typing.Self`` workaround, now using :pep:`673` for most methods that return ``Self``. As a consequence of this change ``mypy>=1.0.0`` is now required to type check SQLAlchemy code. Pull request courtesy Yurii Karabas. .. change:: :tags: bug, sql, regression :tickets: 9271 Fixed critical regression in SQL expression formulation in the 2.0 series due to :ticket:`7744` which improved support for SQL expressions that contained many elements against the same operator repeatedly; parenthesis grouping would be lost with expression elements beyond the first two elements. .. changelog:: ``` ### 2.0.2 ``` :released: February 6, 2023 .. change:: :tags: bug, orm declarative :tickets: 9249 Fixed regression caused by the fix for :ticket:`9171`, which itself was fixing a regression, involving the mechanics of ``__init__()`` on classes that extend from :class:`_orm.DeclarativeBase`. The change made it such that ``__init__()`` was applied to the user-defined base if there were no ``__init__()`` method directly on the class. This has been adjusted so that ``__init__()`` is applied only if no other class in the hierarchy of the user-defined base has an ``__init__()`` method. This again allows user-defined base classes based on :class:`_orm.DeclarativeBase` to include mixins that themselves include a custom ``__init__()`` method. .. change:: :tags: bug, mysql, regression :tickets: 9251 Fixed regression caused by issue :ticket:`9058` which adjusted the MySQL dialect's ``has_table()`` to again use "DESCRIBE", where the specific error code raised by MySQL version 8 when using a non-existent schema name was unexpected and failed to be interpreted as a boolean result. .. change:: :tags: bug, sqlite :tickets: 9251 Fixed the SQLite dialect's ``has_table()`` function to correctly report False for queries that include a non-None schema name for a schema that doesn't exist; previously, a database error was raised. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm declarative :tickets: 9226 Fixed issue in ORM Declarative Dataclass mappings related to newly added support for mixins added in 2.0.1 via :ticket:`9179`, where a combination of using mixins plus ORM inheritance would mis-classify fields in some cases leading to field-level dataclass arguments such as ``init=False`` being lost. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm, ression :tickets: 9232 Fixed obscure ORM inheritance issue caused by :ticket:`8705` where some scenarios of inheriting mappers that indicated groups of columns from the local table and the inheriting table together under a :func:`_orm.column_property` would nonetheless warn that properties of the same name were being combined implicitly. .. change:: :tags: orm, bug, regression :tickets: 9228 Fixed regression where using the :paramref:`_orm.Mapper.version_id_col` feature with a regular Python-side incrementing column would fail to work for SQLite and other databases that don't support "rowcount" with "RETURNING", as "RETURNING" would be assumed for such columns even though that's not what actually takes place. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm declarative :tickets: 9240 Repaired ORM Declarative mappings to allow for the :paramref:`_orm.Mapper.primary_key` parameter to be specified within ``__mapper_args__`` when using :func:`_orm.mapped_column`. Despite this usage being directly in the 2.0 documentation, the :class:`_orm.Mapper` was not accepting the :func:`_orm.mapped_column` construct in this context. Ths feature was already working for the :paramref:`_orm.Mapper.version_id_col` and :paramref:`_orm.Mapper.polymorphic_on` parameters. As part of this change, the ``__mapper_args__`` attribute may be specified without using :func:`_orm.declared_attr` on a non-mapped mixin class, including a ``"primary_key"`` entry that refers to :class:`_schema.Column` or :func:`_orm.mapped_column` objects locally present on the mixin; Declarative will also translate these columns into the correct ones for a particular mapped class. This again was working already for the :paramref:`_orm.Mapper.version_id_col` and :paramref:`_orm.Mapper.polymorphic_on` parameters. Additionally, elements within ``"primary_key"`` may be indicated as string names of existing mapped properties. .. change:: :tags: usecase, sql :tickets: 8780 Added a full suite of new SQL bitwise operators, for performing database-side bitwise expressions on appropriate data values such as integers, bit-strings, and similar. Pull request courtesy Yegor Statkevich. .. seealso:: :ref:`operators_bitwise` .. change:: :tags: bug, orm declarative :tickets: 9211 An explicit error is raised if a mapping attempts to mix the use of :class:`_orm.MappedAsDataclass` with :meth:`_orm.registry.mapped_as_dataclass` within the same class hierarchy, as this produces issues with the dataclass function being applied at the wrong time to the mapped class, leading to errors during the mapping process. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm, regression :tickets: 9217 Fixed regression when using :meth:`_sql.Select.from_statement` in an ORM context, where matching of columns to SQL labels based on name alone was disabled for ORM-statements that weren't fully textual. This would prevent arbitrary SQL expressions with column-name labels from matching up to the entity to be loaded, which previously would work within the 1.4 and previous series, so the previous behavior has been restored. .. change:: :tags: bug, asyncio :tickets: 9237 Repaired a regression caused by the fix for :ticket:`8419` which caused asyncpg connections to be reset (i.e. transaction ``rollback()`` called) and returned to the pool normally in the case that the connection were not explicitly returned to the connection pool and was instead being intercepted by Python garbage collection, which would fail if the garbage collection operation were being called outside of the asyncio event loop, leading to a large amount of stack trace activity dumped into logging and standard output. The correct behavior is restored, which is that all asyncio connections that are garbage collected due to not being explicitly returned to the connection pool are detached from the pool and discarded, along with a warning, rather than being returned the pool, as they cannot be reliably reset. In the case of asyncpg connections, the asyncpg-specific ``terminate()`` method will be used to end the connection more gracefully within this process as opposed to just dropping it. This change includes a small behavioral change that is hoped to be useful for debugging asyncio applications, where the warning that's emitted in the case of asyncio connections being unexpectedly garbage collected has been made slightly more aggressive by moving it outside of a ``try/except`` block and into a ``finally:`` block, where it will emit unconditionally regardless of whether the detach/termination operation succeeded or not. It will also have the effect that applications or test suites which promote Python warnings to exceptions will see this as a full exception raise, whereas previously it was not possible for this warning to actually propagate as an exception. Applications and test suites which need to tolerate this warning in the interim should adjust the Python warnings filter to allow these warnings to not raise. The behavior for traditional sync connections remains unchanged, that garbage collected connections continue to be returned to the pool normally without emitting a warning. This will likely be changed in a future major release to at least emit a similar warning as is emitted for asyncio drivers, as it is a usage error for pooled connections to be intercepted by garbage collection without being properly returned to the pool. .. change:: :tags: usecase, orm :tickets: 9220 Added new event hook :meth:`_orm.MapperEvents.after_mapper_constructed`, which supplies an event hook to take place right as the :class:`_orm.Mapper` object has been fully constructed, but before the :meth:`_orm.registry.configure` call has been called. This allows code that can create additional mappings and table structures based on the initial configuration of a :class:`_orm.Mapper`, which also integrates within Declarative configuration. Previously, when using Declarative, where the :class:`_orm.Mapper` object is created within the class creation process, there was no documented means of running code at this point. The change is to immediately benefit custom mapping schemes such as that of the :ref:`examples_versioned_history` example, which generate additional mappers and tables in response to the creation of mapped classes. .. change:: :tags: usecase, orm :tickets: 9220 The infrequently used :attr:`_orm.Mapper.iterate_properties` attribute and :meth:`_orm.Mapper.get_property` method, which are primarily used internally, no longer implicitly invoke the :meth:`_orm.registry.configure` process. Public access to these methods is extremely rare and the only benefit to having :meth:`_orm.registry.configure` would have been allowing "backref" properties be present in these collections. In order to support the new :meth:`_orm.MapperEvents.after_mapper_constructed` event, iteration and access to the internal :class:`_orm.MapperProperty` objects is now possible without triggering an implicit configure of the mapper itself. The more-public facing route to iteration of all mapper attributes, the :attr:`_orm.Mapper.attrs` collection and similar, will still implicitly invoke the :meth:`_orm.registry.configure` step thus making backref attributes available. In all cases, the :meth:`_orm.registry.configure` is always available to be called directly. .. change:: :tags: bug, examples :tickets: 9220 Reworked the :ref:`examples_versioned_history` to work with version 2.0, while at the same time improving the overall working of this example to use newer APIs, including a newly added hook :meth:`_orm.MapperEvents.after_mapper_constructed`. .. change:: :tags: bug, mysql :tickets: 8626 Added support for MySQL 8's new ``AS <name> ON DUPLICATE KEY`` syntax when using :meth:`_mysql.Insert.on_duplicate_key_update`, which is required for newer versions of MySQL 8 as the previous syntax using ``VALUES()`` now emits a deprecation warning with those versions. Server version detection is employed to determine if traditional MariaDB / MySQL < 8 ``VALUES()`` syntax should be used, vs. the newer MySQL 8 required syntax. Pull request courtesy Caspar Wylie. .. changelog:: ``` ### 2.0.1 ``` :released: February 1, 2023 .. change:: :tags: bug, typing :tickets: 9174 Opened up typing on :paramref:`.Select.with_for_update.of` to also accept table and mapped class arguments, as seems to be available for the MySQL dialect. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm, regression :tickets: 9164 Fixed regression where ORM models that used joined table inheritance with a composite foreign key would encounter an internal error in the mapper internals. .. change:: :tags: bug, sql :tickets: 7664 Corrected the fix for :ticket:`7664`, released in version 2.0.0, to also include :class:`.DropSchema` which was inadvertently missed in this fix, allowing stringification without a dialect. The fixes for both constructs is backported to the 1.4 series as of 1.4.47. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm declarative :tickets: 9175 Added support for :pep:`484` ``NewType`` to be used in the :paramref:`_orm.registry.type_annotation_map` as well as within :class:`.Mapped` constructs. These types will behave in the same way as custom subclasses of types right now; they must appear explicitly within the :paramref:`_orm.registry.type_annotation_map` to be mapped. .. change:: :tags: bug, typing :tickets: 9183 Fixed typing for limit/offset methods including :meth:`.Select.limit`, :meth:`.Select.offset`, :meth:`_orm.Query.limit`, :meth:`_orm.Query.offset` to allow ``None``, which is the documented API to "cancel" the current limit/offset. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm declarative :tickets: 9179 When using the :class:`.MappedAsDataclass` superclass, all classes within the hierarchy that are subclasses of this class will now be run through the ``dataclasses.dataclass`` function whether or not they are actually mapped, so that non-ORM fields declared on non-mapped classes within the hierarchy will be used when mapped subclasses are turned into dataclasses. This behavior applies both to intermediary classes mapped with ``__abstract__ = True`` as well as to the user-defined declarative base itself, assuming :class:`.MappedAsDataclass` is present as a superclass for these classes. This allows non-mapped attributes such as ``InitVar`` declarations on superclasses to be used, without the need to run the ``dataclasses.dataclass`` decorator explicitly on each non-mapped class. The new behavior is considered as correct as this is what the :pep:`681` implementation expects when using a superclass to indicate dataclass behavior. .. change:: :tags: bug, typing :tickets: 9170 Fixed typing issue where :func:`_orm.mapped_column` objects typed as :class:`_orm.Mapped` wouldn't be accepted in schema constraints such as :class:`_schema.ForeignKey`, :class:`_schema.UniqueConstraint` or :class:`_schema.Index`. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm declarative :tickets: 9187 Added support for :pep:`586` ``Literal[]`` to be used in the :paramref:`_orm.registry.type_annotation_map` as well as within :class:`.Mapped` constructs. To use custom types such as these, they must appear explicitly within the :paramref:`_orm.registry.type_annotation_map` to be mapped. Pull request courtesy Frederik Aalund. As part of this change, the support for :class:`.sqltypes.Enum` in the :paramref:`_orm.registry.type_annotation_map` has been expanded to include support for ``Literal[]`` types consisting of string values to be used, in addition to ``enum.Enum`` datatypes. If a ``Literal[]`` datatype is used within ``Mapped[]`` that is not linked in :paramref:`_orm.registry.type_annotation_map` to a specific datatype, a :class:`.sqltypes.Enum` will be used by default. .. seealso:: :ref:`orm_declarative_mapped_column_enums` .. change:: :tags: bug, orm declarative :tickets: 9200 Fixed issue involving the use of :class:`.sqltypes.Enum` within the :paramref:`_orm.registry.type_annotation_map` where the :paramref:`_sqltypes.Enum.native_enum` parameter would not be correctly copied to the mapped column datatype, if it were overridden as stated in the documentation to set this parameter to False. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm declarative, regression :tickets: 9171 Fixed regression in :class:`.DeclarativeBase` class where the registry's default constructor would not be applied to the base itself, which is different from how the previous :func:`_orm.declarative_base` construct works. This would prevent a mapped class with its own ``__init__()`` method from calling ``super().__init__()`` in order to access the registry's default constructor and automatically populate attributes, instead hitting ``object.__init__()`` which would raise a ``TypeError`` on any arguments. .. change:: :tags: bug, sql, regression :tickets: 9173 Fixed regression related to the implementation for the new "insertmanyvalues" feature where an internal ``TypeError`` would occur in arrangements where a :func:`_sql.insert` would be referred towards inside of another :func:`_sql.insert` via a CTE; made additional repairs for this use case for positional dialects such as asyncpg when using "insertmanyvalues". .. change:: :tags: bug, typing :tickets: 9156 Fixed typing for :meth:`_expression.ColumnElement.cast` to accept both ``Type[TypeEngine[T]]`` and ``TypeEngine[T]``; previously only ``TypeEngine[T]`` was accepted. Pull request courtesy Yurii Karabas. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm declarative :tickets: 9177 Improved the ruleset used to interpret :pep:`593` ``Annotated`` types when used with Annotated Declarative mapping, the inner type will be checked for "Optional" in all cases which will be added to the criteria by which the column is set as "nullable" or not; if the type within the ``Annotated`` container is optional (or unioned with ``None``), the column will be considered nullable if there are no explicit :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.nullable` parameters overriding it. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm :tickets: 9182 Improved the error reporting when linking strategy options from a base class to another attribute that's off a subclass, where ``of_type()`` should be used. Previously, when :meth:`.Load.options` is used, the message would lack informative detail that ``of_type()`` should be used, which was not the case when linking the options directly. The informative detail now emits even if :meth:`.Load.options` is used. .. changelog:: ``` ### 2.0.0 ``` :released: January 26, 2023 .. change:: :tags: bug, sql :tickets: 7664 Fixed stringify for a the :class:`.CreateSchema` DDL construct, which would fail with an ``AttributeError`` when stringified without a dialect. Update: Note this fix failed to accommodate for :class:`.DropSchema`; a followup fix in version 2.0.1 repairs this case. The fix for both elements is backported to 1.4.47. .. change:: :tags: usecase, orm extensions :tickets: 5145 Added new feature to :class:`.AutomapBase` for autoload of classes across multiple schemas which may have overlapping names, by providing a :paramref:`.AutomapBase.prepare.modulename_for_table` parameter which allows customization of the ``__module__`` attribute of newly generated classes, as well as a new collection :attr:`.AutomapBase.by_module`, which stores a dot-separated namespace of module names linked to classes based on the ``__module__`` attribute. Additionally, the :meth:`.AutomapBase.prepare` method may now be invoked any number of times, with or without reflection enabled; only newly added tables that were not previously mapped will be processed on each call. Previously, the :meth:`.MetaData.reflect` method would need to be called explicitly each time. .. seealso:: :ref:`automap_by_module` - illustrates use of both techniques at once. .. change:: :tags: orm, bug :tickets: 7305 Improved the notification of warnings that are emitted within the configure mappers or flush process, which are often invoked as part of a different operation, to add additional context to the message that indicates one of these operations as the source of the warning within operations that may not be obviously related. .. change:: :tags: bug, typing :tickets: 9129 Added typing for the built-in generic functions that are available from the :data:`_sql.func` namespace, which accept a particular set of arguments and return a particular type, such as for :class:`_sql.count`, :class:`_sql.current_timestamp`, etc. .. change:: :tags: bug, typing :tickets: 9120 Corrected the type passed for "lambda statements" so that a plain lambda is accepted by mypy, pyright, others without any errors about argument types. Additionally implemented typing for more of the public API for lambda statements and ensured :class:`.StatementLambdaElement` is part of the :class:`.Executable` hierarchy so it's typed as accepted by :meth:`_engine.Connection.execute`. .. change:: :tags: typing, bug :tickets: 9122 The :meth:`_sql.ColumnOperators.in_` and :meth:`_sql.ColumnOperators.not_in` methods are typed to include ``Iterable[Any]`` rather than ``Sequence[Any]`` for more flexibility in argument type. .. change:: :tags: typing, bug :tickets: 9123 The :func:`_sql.or_` and :func:`_sql.and_` from a typing perspective require the first argument to be present, however these functions still accept zero arguments which will emit a deprecation warning at runtime. Typing is also added to support sending the fixed literal ``False`` for :func:`_sql.or_` and ``True`` for :func:`_sql.and_` as the first argument only, however the documentation now indicates sending the :func:`_sql.false` and :func:`_sql.true` constructs in these cases as a more explicit approach. .. change:: :tags: typing, bug :tickets: 9125 Fixed typing issue where iterating over a :class:`_orm.Query` object was not correctly typed. .. change:: :tags: typing, bug :tickets: 9136 Fixed typing issue where the object type when using :class:`_engine.Result` as a context manager were not preserved, indicating :class:`_engine.Result` in all cases rather than the specific :class:`_engine.Result` sub-type. Pull request courtesy Martin Baláž. .. change:: :tags: typing, bug :tickets: 9150 Fixed issue where using the :paramref:`_orm.relationship.remote_side` and similar parameters, passing an annotated declarative object typed as :class:`_orm.Mapped`, would not be accepted by the type checker. .. change:: :tags: typing, bug :tickets: 9148 Added typing to legacy operators such as ``isnot()``, ``notin_()``, etc. which previously were referencing the newer operators but were not themselves typed. .. change:: :tags: feature, orm extensions :tickets: 7226 Added new option to horizontal sharding API :class:`_horizontal.set_shard_id` which sets the effective shard identifier to query against, for both the primary query as well as for all secondary loaders including relationship eager loaders as well as relationship and column lazy loaders. .. change:: :tags: bug, mssql, regression :tickets: 9142 The newly added comment reflection and rendering capability of the MSSQL dialect, added in :ticket:`7844`, will now be disabled by default if it cannot be determined that an unsupported backend such as Azure Synapse may be in use; this backend does not support table and column comments and does not support the SQL Server routines in use to generate them as well as to reflect them. A new parameter ``supports_comments`` is added to the dialect which defaults to ``None``, indicating that comment support should be auto-detected. When set to ``True`` or ``False``, the comment support is either enabled or disabled unconditionally. .. seealso:: :ref:`mssql_comment_support` .. changelog:: ``` ### 2.0.0rc3 ``` :released: January 26, 2023 :released: January 18, 2023 .. change:: :tags: bug, typing :tickets: 9096 Fixes to the annotations within the ``sqlalchemy.ext.hybrid`` extension for more effective typing of user-defined methods. The typing now uses :pep:`612` features, now supported by recent versions of Mypy, to maintain argument signatures for :class:`.hybrid_method`. Return values for hybrid methods are accepted as SQL expressions in contexts such as :meth:`_sql.Select.where` while still supporting SQL methods. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm :tickets: 9099 Fixed issue where using a pep-593 ``Annotated`` type in the :paramref:`_orm.registry.type_annotation_map` which itself contained a generic plain container or ``collections.abc`` type (e.g. ``list``, ``dict``, ``collections.abc.Sequence``, etc. ) as the target type would produce an internal error when the ORM were trying to interpret the ``Annotated`` instance. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm :tickets: 9100 Added an error message when a :func:`_orm.relationship` is mapped against an abstract container type, such as ``Mapped[Sequence[B]]``, without providing the :paramref:`_orm.relationship.container_class` parameter which is necessary when the type is abstract. Previously the the abstract container would attempt to be instantiated at a later step and fail. .. change:: :tags: orm, feature :tickets: 9060 Added a new parameter to :class:`_orm.Mapper` called :paramref:`_orm.Mapper.polymorphic_abstract`. The purpose of this directive is so that the ORM will not consider the class to be instantiated or loaded directly, only subclasses. The actual effect is that the :class:`_orm.Mapper` will prevent direct instantiation of instances of the class and will expect that the class does not have a distinct polymorphic identity configured. In practice, the class that is mapped with :paramref:`_orm.Mapper.polymorphic_abstract` can be used as the target of a :func:`_orm.relationship` as well as be used in queries; subclasses must of course include polymorphic identities in their mappings. The new parameter is automatically applied to classes that subclass the :class:`.AbstractConcreteBase` class, as this class is not intended to be instantiated. .. seealso:: :ref:`orm_inheritance_abstract_poly` .. change:: :tags: bug, postgresql :tickets: 9106 Fixed regression where psycopg3 changed an API call as of version 3.1.8 to expect a specific object type that was previously not enforced, breaking connectivity for the psycopg3 dialect. .. change:: :tags: oracle, usecase :tickets: 9086 Added support for the Oracle SQL type ``TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE``, using a newly added Oracle-specific :class:`_oracle.TIMESTAMP` datatype. .. changelog:: ``` ### 2.0.0rc2 ``` :released: January 26, 2023 :released: January 9, 2023 .. change:: :tags: bug, typing :tickets: 9067 The Data Class Transforms argument ``field_descriptors`` was renamed to ``field_specifiers`` in the accepted version of PEP 681. .. change:: :tags: bug, oracle :tickets: 9059 Supported use case for foreign key constraints where the local column is marked as "invisible". The errors normally generated when a :class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint` is created that check for the target column are disabled when reflecting, and the constraint is skipped with a warning in the same way which already occurs for an :class:`.Index` with a similar issue. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm :tickets: 9071 Fixed issue where an overly restrictive ORM mapping rule were added in 2.0 which prevented mappings against :class:`.TableClause` objects, such as those used in the view recipe on the wiki. .. change:: :tags: bug, mysql :tickets: 9058 Restored the behavior of :meth:`.Inspector.has_table` to report on temporary tables for MySQL / MariaDB. This is currently the behavior for all other included dialects, but was removed for MySQL in 1.4 due to no longer using the DESCRIBE command; there was no documented support for temp tables being reported by the :meth:`.Inspector.has_table` method in this version or on any previous version, so the previous behavior was undefined. As SQLAlchemy 2.0 has added formal support for temp table status via :meth:`.Inspector.has_table`, the MySQL /MariaDB dialect has been reverted to use the "DESCRIBE" statement as it did in the SQLAlchemy 1.3 series and previously, and test support is added to include MySQL / MariaDB for this behavior. The previous issues with ROLLBACK being emitted which 1.4 sought to improve upon don't apply in SQLAlchemy 2.0 due to simplifications in how :class:`.Connection` handles transactions. DESCRIBE is necessary as MariaDB in particular has no consistently available public information schema of any kind in order to report on temp tables other than DESCRIBE/SHOW COLUMNS, which rely on throwing an error in order to report no results. .. change:: :tags: json, postgresql :tickets: 7147 Implemented missing ``JSONB`` operations: * ` using :meth:`_postgresql.JSONB.Comparator.path_match` * ``?`` using :meth:`_postgresql.JSONB.Comparator.path_exists` * ``-`` using :meth:`_postgresql.JSONB.Comparator.delete_path` Pull request curtesy of Guilherme Martins Crocetti. .. changelog:: ``` ### 2.0.0rc1 ``` :released: January 26, 2023 :released: December 28, 2022 .. change:: :tags: bug, typing :tickets: 6810, 9025 pep-484 typing has been completed for the ``sqlalchemy.ext.horizontal_shard`` extension as well as the ``sqlalchemy.orm.events`` module. Thanks to Gleb Kisenkov for their efforts. .. change:: :tags: postgresql, bug :tickets: 8977 :versions: 2.0.0rc1 Added support for explicit use of PG full text functions with asyncpg and psycopg (SQLAlchemy 2.0 only), with regards to the ``REGCONFIG`` type cast for the first argument, which previously would be incorrectly cast to a VARCHAR, causing failures on these dialects that rely upon explicit type casts. This includes support for :class:`_postgresql.to_tsvector`, :class:`_postgresql.to_tsquery`, :class:`_postgresql.plainto_tsquery`, :class:`_postgresql.phraseto_tsquery`, :class:`_postgresql.websearch_to_tsquery`, :class:`_postgresql.ts_headline`, each of which will determine based on number of arguments passed if the first string argument should be interpreted as a PostgreSQL "REGCONFIG" value; if so, the argument is typed using a newly added type object :class:`_postgresql.REGCONFIG` which is then explicitly cast in the SQL expression. .. change:: :tags: bug, orm :tickets: 4629 A warning is emitted if a backref name used in :func:`_orm.relationship` names an attribute on the target class which already has a method or attribute assigned to that name, as the backref declaration will replace that attribute. .. change:: :tags: bug, postgresql :tickets: 9020 Fixed regression where newly revised PostgreSQL range types such as :class:`_postgresql.INT4RANGE` could not be set up as the impl of a :class:`.TypeDecorator` custom type, instead raising a ``TypeError``. .. change:: :tags: usecase, orm :tickets: 7837 Adjustments to the :class:`_orm.Session` in terms of extensibility, as well as updates to the :class:`.ShardedSession` extension: * :meth:`_orm.Session.get` now accepts :paramref:`_orm.Session.get.bind_arguments`, which in particular may be useful w
