It was mainly for MySQL on Python 3, but now the current
recommended MySQL driver for Python 3 (mysqlclient) does support
binary fields, it is unneeded. Refs #20377.
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.
Complete rework of translating data values from database
Deprecation of SubfieldBase, removal of resolve_columns and
convert_values in favour of a more general converter based approach and
public API Field.from_db_value(). Now works seamlessly with aggregation,
.values() and raw queries.
Thanks to akaariai in particular for extensive advice and inspiration,
also to shaib, manfre and timograham for their reviews.
This is achieved by inserting a fake entry in connection.queries when
not releasing a savepoint (since Oracle doesn't support that operation.)
Also removed the can_release_savepoints feature that was recently added,
but is superseded by this solution.
In django.db.backends.BaseDatabaseWrapper, pulled the creation of
cursors in the non-debug case into a separate method, in order to
make behavior more consistent when overriding the cursor creation
in derived classes.
Avoided introducing a new regex-based SQL splitter in the migrations
framework, before we're bound by backwards compatibility.
Adapted this change to the legacy "initial SQL data" feature, even
though it's already deprecated, in order to facilitate the transition
to migrations.
sqlparse becomes mandatory for RunSQL on some databases (all but
PostgreSQL). There's no API to provide a single statement and tell
Django not to attempt splitting. Since we have a more robust splitting
implementation, that seems like a good tradeoff. It's easier to add a
new keyword argument later if necessary than to remove one.
Many people contributed to both tickets, thank you all, and especially
Claude for the review.
