Hello! I'm pleased to announce the 0.10.0b1, the first beta release of a new SQLObject branch, 0.10.
What is SQLObject ================= SQLObject is an object-relational mapper. Your database tables are described as classes, and rows are instances of those classes. SQLObject is meant to be easy to use and quick to get started with. SQLObject supports a number of backends: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and Firebird. It also has newly added support for Sybase, MSSQL and MaxDB (also known as SAPDB). Where is SQLObject ================== Site: http://sqlobject.org Development: http://sqlobject.org/devel/ Mailing list: https://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/sqlobject-discuss Archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.sqlobject Download: http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/SQLObject/0.10.0b1 News and changes: http://sqlobject.org/News.html What's New ========== Features & Interface -------------------- * Dropped support for Python 2.2. The minimal version of Python for SQLObject is 2.3 now. * Removed actively deprecated attributes; lowered deprecation level for other attributes to be removed after 0.10. * SQLBuilder Select supports the rest of SelectResults options (reversed, distinct, joins, etc.) * SQLObject.select() (i.e., SelectResults) and DBConnection.queryForSelect() use SQLBuilder Select queries; this make all SELECTs implemented internally via a single mechanism. * SQLBuilder Joins handle SQLExpression tables (not just str/SQLObject/Alias) and properly sqlrepr. * SQLBuilder tablesUsedDict handles sqlrepr'able objects. * Added SQLBuilder ImportProxy. It allows one to ignore the circular import issues with referring to SQLObject classes in other files - it uses the classregistry as the string class names for FK/Joins do, but specifically intended for SQLBuilder expressions. See tests/test_sqlbuilder_importproxy.py. * Added SelectResults.throughTo. It allows one to traverse relationships (FK/Join) via SQL, avoiding the intermediate objects. Additionally, it's a simple mechanism for pre-caching/eager-loading of later FK relationships (i.e., going to loop over a select of somePeople and ask for aPerson.group, first call list(somePeople.throughTo.group) to preload those related groups and use 2 db queries instead of N+1). See tests/test_select_through.py. * Added ViewSQLObject. * Added sqlmeta.getColumns() to get all the columns for a class (including parent classes), excluding the column 'childName' and including the column 'id'. sqlmeta.asDict() now uses getColumns(), so there is no need to override it in the inheritable sqlmeta class; this makes asDict() to work properly on inheritable sqlobjects. * Changed the implementation type in BoolCol under SQLite from TINYINT to BOOLEAN and made fromDatabase machinery to recognize it. * Added rich comparison methods; SQLObjects of the same class are considered equal is they have the same id; other methods return NotImplemented. * MySQLConnection (and DB URI) accept a number of SSL-related parameters: ssl_key, ssl_cert, ssl_ca, ssl_capath.
