Adds a reasonably feature complete implementation of full text search
using the built in PostgreSQL engine. It uses public APIs from
Expression and Lookup.
With thanks to Tim Graham, Simon Charettes, Josh Smeaton, Mikey Ariel
and many others for their advice and review. Particular thanks also go
to the supporters of the contrib.postgres kickstarter.
Provide `contained_by` lookups for the equivalent single valued fields
related to the range field types. This acts as the opposite direction to
rangefield__contains.
With thanks to schinckel for the idea and initial tests.
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.
Added support for PostgreSQL range types to contrib.postgres.
- 5 new model fields
- 4 new form fields
- New validators
- Uses psycopg2's range type implementation in python
