rather than just relying on manipulation of settings to determine which
invocation of connection.cursor() opens a connection to the test database
and which opens a connection to the main database.
Thanks Aymeric Augustin for motivation and Tim Graham for review.
The primary use case is to interact with a third-party database (not
primarily managed by Django) that doesn't support time zones and where
datetimes are stored in local time when USE_TZ is True.
Configuring a PostgreSQL database with the TIME_ZONE option while USE_TZ
is False used to result in silent data corruption. Now this is an error.
Refs #23820.
Fixed#19738.
Refs #17755. In order not to introduce a regression for raw queries,
parameters are passed through the connection.ops.value_to_db_* methods,
depending on their type.
Field.rel is now deprecated. Rel objects have now also remote_field
attribute. This means that self == self.remote_field.remote_field.
In addition, made the Rel objects a bit more like Field objects. Still,
marked ManyToManyFields as null=True.
As suggested by Anssi. This has the slightly strange side effect of
passing the expression to Expression.convert_value has the expression
passed back to it, but it allows more complex patterns of expressions.
Several issues resolved here, following from a report that a base_field
of GenericIpAddressField was failing.
We were using get_prep_value instead of get_db_prep_value in ArrayField
which was bypassing any extra modifications to the value being made in
the base field's get_db_prep_value. Changing this broke datetime
support, so the postgres backend has gained the relevant operation
methods to send dates/times/datetimes directly to the db backend instead
of casting them to strings. Similarly, a new database feature has been
added allowing the uuid to be passed directly to the backend, as we do
with timedeltas.
On the other side, psycopg2 expects an Inet() instance for IP address
fields, so we add a value_to_db_ipaddress method to wrap the strings on
postgres. We also have to manually add a database adapter to psycopg2,
as we do not wish to use the built in adapter which would turn
everything into Inet() instances.
Thanks to smclenithan for the report.
Refactored compiler SELECT, GROUP BY and ORDER BY generation.
While there, also refactored select_related() implementation
(get_cached_row() and get_klass_info() are now gone!).
Made get_db_converters() method work on expressions instead of
internal_type. This allows the backend converters to target
specific expressions if need be.
Added query.context, this can be used to set per-query state.
Also changed the signature of database converters. They now accept
context as an argument.
Use INTERVAL DAY(9) TO SECOND(6) for Durationfield on Oracle rather than
storing as a NUMBER(19) of microseconds.
There are issues with cx_Oracle which require some extra data
manipulation in the database backend when constructing queries, but it
handles the conversion back to timedelta objects cleanly.
Thanks to Shai for the review.
A field for storing periods of time - modeled in Python by timedelta. It
is stored in the native interval data type on PostgreSQL and as a bigint
of microseconds on other backends.
Also includes significant changes to the internals of time related maths
in expressions, including the removal of DateModifierNode.
Thanks to Tim and Josh in particular for reviews.
The .dates() queries were implemented by using custom Query, QuerySet,
and Compiler classes. Instead implement them by using expressions and
database converters APIs.
Checked database destruction for ORA-29857, which happens when objects of
some types are left over in an old test database (notably, such objects
are created by the GIS backend). When this happens, we can resolve the
issue by dropping the test-user (if we are allowed to).
An alternative approach, to just switch the order of creation (so that,
if the test user exists and can be dropped, it is always dropped before
the tablespace) was considered; but since the user creation depends on
the tablespace, this would necessitate separating the dropping of the user
from its creation -- a change I am reluctant to make.
