Changes for crate
=================

Unreleased
==========

- The SQLAlchemy dialect has been split off into the `sqlalchemy-cratedb`_
  package. See `Migrate from crate.client to sqlalchemy-cratedb`_ to learn
  about necessary migration steps.
- Configured DB API interface attribute ``threadsafety = 1``, which signals
  "Threads may share the module, but not connections."
- Added ``error_trace`` to string representation of an Error to relay
  server stacktraces into exception messages.

2024/01/18 0.35.2
=================

- Test compatibility: Permit installation of pandas 2.1.


2024/01/18 0.35.1
=================

- Compatibility: Re-add ``crate.client._pep440.Version`` from ``verlib2``.
  It is needed the prevent breaking ``crash``.


2024/01/17 0.35.0
=================

- Permit ``urllib3.Timeout`` instances for defining timeout values.
  This way, both ``connect`` and ``read`` socket timeout settings can be
  configured. The unit is seconds.


2023/09/29 0.34.0
=================

- Properly handle Python-native UUID types in SQL parameters. Thanks,
  @SStorm.
- SQLAlchemy: Fix handling URL parameters ``timeout`` and ``pool_size``
- Permit installation with urllib3 v2, see also `urllib3 v2.0 roadmap`_
  and `urllib3 v2.0 migration guide`_. You can optionally retain support
  for TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1, but a few other outdated use-cases of X.509
  certificate details are immanent, like no longer accepting the long
  deprecated ``commonName`` attribute. Instead, going forward, only the
  ``subjectAltName`` attribute will be used.
- SQLAlchemy: Improve DDL compiler to ignore foreign key and uniqueness
  constraints.
- DBAPI: Properly raise ``IntegrityError`` exceptions instead of
  ``ProgrammingError``, when CrateDB raises a ``DuplicateKeyException``.
- SQLAlchemy: Ignore SQL's ``FOR UPDATE`` clause. Thanks, @surister.

.. _urllib3 v2.0 roadmap: https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/stable/v2-roadmap.html


2023/07/17 0.33.0
=================

- SQLAlchemy: Rename leftover occurrences of ``Object``. The new symbol to represent
  CrateDB's ``OBJECT`` column type is now ``ObjectType``.

- SQLAlchemy DQL: Use CrateDB's native ``ILIKE`` operator instead of using SA's
  generic implementation ``lower() LIKE lower()``. Thanks, @hlcianfagna.


2023/07/06 0.32.0
=================

- SQLAlchemy DDL: Allow turning off column store using ``crate_columnstore=False``.
  Thanks, @fetzerms.

- SQLAlchemy DDL: Allow setting ``server_default`` on columns to enable
  server-generated defaults. Thanks, @JanLikar.

- Allow handling datetime values tagged with time zone info when inserting or updating.

- SQLAlchemy: Fix SQL statement caching for CrateDB's ``OBJECT`` type. Thanks, @faymarie.

- SQLAlchemy: Refactor ``OBJECT`` type to use SQLAlchemy's JSON type infrastructure.

- SQLAlchemy: Added ``insert_bulk`` fast-path ``INSERT`` method for pandas, in
  order to support efficient batch inserts using CrateDB's "bulk operations" endpoint.

- SQLAlchemy: Add documentation and software tests for usage with Dask


2023/04/18 0.31.1
=================

- SQLAlchemy Core: Re-enable support for ``INSERT/UPDATE...RETURNING`` in
  SQLAlchemy 2.0 by adding the new ``insert_returning`` and ``update_returning`` flags
  in the CrateDB dialect.


2023/03/30 0.31.0
=================

- SQLAlchemy Core: Support ``INSERT...VALUES`` with multiple value sets by enabling
  ``supports_multivalues_insert`` on the CrateDB dialect, it is used by pandas'
  ``method="multi"`` option

- SQLAlchemy Core: Enable the ``insertmanyvalues`` feature, which lets you control
  the batch size of ``INSERT`` operations using the ``insertmanyvalues_page_size``
  engine-, connection-, and statement-options.

- SQLAlchemy ORM: Remove support for the legacy ``session.bulk_save_objects`` API
  on SQLAlchemy 2.0, in favor of the new ``insertmanyvalues`` feature. Performance
  optimizations from ``bulk_save()`` have been made inherently part of ``add_all()``.
  Note: The legacy mode will still work on SQLAlchemy 1.x, while SQLAlchemy 2.x users
  MUST switch to the new method now.


2023/03/02 0.30.1
=================

- Fixed SQLAlchemy 2.0 incompatibility with ``CrateDialect.{has_schema,has_table}``


2023/02/16 0.30.0
=================

- Added deprecation warning about dropping support for SQLAlchemy 1.3 soon, it
  is effectively EOL.

- Added support for SQLAlchemy 2.0. See also `What's New in SQLAlchemy 2.0`_
  and `SQLAlchemy 2.0 migration guide`_.

- Updated to geojson 3.0.0.

.. _What's New in SQLAlchemy 2.0: https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/20/changelog/whatsnew_20.html


2022/12/08 0.29.0
=================

- SQLAlchemy: Added support for ``crate_index`` and ``nullable`` attributes in
  ORM column definitions.

- Added support for converting ``TIMESTAMP`` columns to timezone-aware
  ``datetime`` objects, using the new ``time_zone`` keyword argument.


2022/12/02 0.28.0
=================

- Added a generic data type converter to the ``Cursor`` object, for converting
  fetched data from CrateDB data types to Python data types.

- Fixed generating appropriate syntax for OFFSET/LIMIT clauses. It was possible
  that SQL statement clauses like ``LIMIT -1`` could have been generated. Both
  PostgreSQL and CrateDB only accept ``LIMIT ALL`` instead.

- Added support for computed columns in the SQLAlchemy ORM

2022/10/10 0.27.2
=================

- Improved SQLAlchemy's ``CrateDialect.get_pk_constraint`` to be compatible
  with breaking changes in CrateDB >=5.1.0.


2022/07/04 0.27.1
=================

- Fixed regression introduced by ``0.27.0`` resulting in unavailable servers if
  all configured servers aren't reachable once.


2022/06/02 0.27.0
=================

- Added support for Python 3.9 and 3.10.

- Dropped support for Python 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.

- Dropped support for SQLAlchemy 1.1 and 1.2.

- Dropped support for CrateDB < 2.0.0.

- BREAKING CHANGE: The driver now verifies SSL certificates when connecting via
  HTTP by default. Previously, this setting defaulted to false. This setting
  can be changed via the ``verify_ssl_cert`` connection parameter.

- Adjusted connect arguments to accept credentials within the HTTP URI.

- Added support for enabling SSL using SQLAlchemy DB URI with parameter
  ``?ssl=true``.

- Added support for SQLAlchemy 1.4

.. note::

    For learning about the transition to SQLAlchemy 1.4, we recommend the
    corresponding documentation `What’s New in SQLAlchemy 1.4?`_.



Breaking changes
----------------

Textual column expressions
''''''''''''''''''''''''''

SQLAlchemy 1.4 became stricter on some details. It requires to wrap `CrateDB
system columns`_ like ``_score`` in a `SQLAlchemy literal_column`_ type.
Before, it was possible to use a query like this::

    session.query(Character.name, '_score')

It must now be written like::

    session.query(Character.name, sa.literal_column('_score'))

Otherwise, SQLAlchemy will complain like::

    sqlalchemy.exc.ArgumentError: Textual column expression '_score' should be
    explicitly declared with text('_score'), or use column('_score') for more
    specificity

.. _What’s New in SQLAlchemy 1.4?: https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/changelog/migration_14.html


2020/09/28 0.26.0
=================

- Enabled TCP keepalive on socket level and support for setting socket options
  when creating the connection. The supported options are:

  - ``TCP_KEEPIDLE`` (overriding ``net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time``)
  - ``TCP_KEEPINTVL`` (overriding ``net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl``)
  - ``TCP_KEEPCNT`` (overriding ``net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes``)

- Propagate connect parameter ``pool_size`` to urllib3 as ``maxsize`` parameter
  in order to make the connection pool size configurable.

2020/08/05 0.25.0
=================

- Added support for the ``RETURNING`` clause to the SQLAlchemy dialect. This
  requires CrateDB 4.2 or greater. In case you use any server side generated
  columns in your primary key constraint with earlier CrateDB versions, you can
  turn this feature off by passing ``implicit_returning=False`` in the
  ``create_engine()`` call.

- Added support for ``geo_point`` and ``geo_json`` types to the SQLAlchemy
  dialect.

2020/05/27 0.24.0
=================

- Upgraded SQLAlchemy support to 1.3.

- Added ``backoff_factor`` in connection to configure retry interval.

- Added official Python 3.8 support.

- Made it so that the SQLAlchemy dialect is now aware of the return type of the
  ``date_trunc`` function.

- Added driver attribute, as SQLAlchemy relies on interfaces having that string for identification.

2019/09/19 0.23.2
=================

- Fixed a bug in the ``CrateLayer`` which caused ``CrateDB`` not to start up,
  in case the ``JAVA_HOME`` environment variable was not set.

2019/08/01 0.23.1
=================

- Extended the type mapping for SQLAlchemy for the upcoming type name changes
  in CrateDB 4.0.

- Added support for Python 3.7 and made that version the recommended one.

2019/03/05 0.23.0
=================

- Fixed a resource leak in ``CrateLayer``

- Added ability to specify chunk size when getting a blob from the blob container

2018/08/08 0.22.1
=================

  connection reset or a broken pipe error.

2018/05/02 0.22.0
=================

  able to install newer versions of this package.

- Add support for SQLAlchemy 1.2

- The client now allows to define a different default schema when connecting to
  CrateDB with the ``schema`` keyword argument. This causes all statements and
  queries that do not specify a schema explicitly to use the provided schema.

- Updated ``get_table_names()`` method in SQLAlchemy dialect to only return
  tables but not views. This enables compatibility with CrateDB 3.0 and newer.

2018/03/14 0.21.3
=================

- Fixed an issue that caused ``metadata.create_all(bind=engine)`` to fail
  creating tables that contain an ``ObjectArray`` column.

2018/02/15 0.21.2
=================

- BREAKING: In the testing layer, the custom setting of
  `cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.low` (1b) and
  `cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.high` (1b) has been removed.
  These now default to 85% and 90%, respectively.

2018/01/03 0.21.1
=================

- Fixed an issue that prevented the usage of SQLAlchemy types ``NUMERIC`` and
  ``DECIMAL`` as column types.

2017/12/07 0.21.0
=================

- Added new parameter ``password`` used to authenticate the user in CrateDB.
