This new technique is more straightforward and compatible with test
parallelization, where the effective database connection settings no
longer match settings.DATABASES.
Found cases where testing code was doing
try:
whatever
except (some excption type):
self.fail("exception shouldn't be thrown")
replaced it with just
whatever
as this makes the unexpected errors easier to debug, and the tests
would fail just as much and aren't rendered less readable.
Thanks Markus Holtermann 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.
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.
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.
Several database backends struggle with binary data. This change
minimizes the risk of unrelated tests failures when binary fields
trigger errors.
Forward-port of 2e4bcb9b from stable/1.7.x.
Thanks intgr for the report.
This commit doesn't include a test because I don't know how to emulate a
database disconnection in a cross-database compatible way.
Also simplified a 'backends' test that was constrained by this problem.
This commit touchs various parts of the code base and test framework. Any
found usage of opening a cursor for the sake of initializing a connection
has been replaced with 'ensure_connection()'.
Updated SQLUpdateCompiler.execute_sql to match the behavior described in
the docstring; the 'first non-empty query' will now include all queries,
not just the main and first related update.
Added CURSOR and NO_RESULTS result_type constants to make the usages more
self documenting and allow execute_sql to explicitly close the cursor when
it is no longer needed.
When settings.DATABASES['default']['AUTOCOMMIT'] = False, the connection
wasn't in autocommit mode but Django pretended it was.
Thanks Anssi for analysing this issue.
Refs #17062.
It doesn't work as one might expect on a certain database backend where
autocommits_when_autocommit_is_off = True. That backend happens to be
popular for running tests.
Add support for Oracle, fix an issue with the repr of RawQuerySet,
add tests and documentations. Also added a 'supports_paramstyle_pyformat'
database feature, True by default, False for SQLite.
Thanks Donald Stufft for review of documentation.
Queries can contain binary data undecodable with utf-8. In this
case, using the 'replace' errors mode when decoding seems like
an acceptable representation of the query.
Thanks Marcel Ryser for the report.
Previously, depending on the database backend or the cursor type,
you'd need to double the percent signs in the query before passing
it to cursor.execute. Now cursor.execute consistently need percent
doubling whenever params argument is not None (placeholder substitution
will happen).
Thanks Thomas Güttler for the report and Walter Doekes for his work
on the patch.
For users who didn't activate autocommit in their database options, this
is backwards-incompatible in "non-managed" aka "auto" transaction state.
This state now uses database-level autocommit instead of ORM-level
autocommit.
Also removed the uses_autocommit feature which lost its purpose.
