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.
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.
Added functions and tests
Added docs and more tests
Added TextField converter to mysql backend
Aliased Value as V in example docs and tests
Removed unicode_compatible in example
Fixed console emulation in examples
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.
