• [Python-announce] SQLObject 3.11.0

    From Oleg Broytman@phd@phdru.name to comp.lang.python.announce on Sat Nov 11 16:31:37 2023
    From Newsgroup: comp.lang.python.announce

    Hello!

    I'm pleased to announce version 3.11.0, the first stable release
    of branch 3.11 of SQLObject.


    What's new in SQLObject
    =======================

    Features
    --------

    * Continue working on ``SQLRelatedJoin`` aliasing introduced in 3.10.2.
    When a table joins with itself calling
    ``relJoinCol.filter(thisClass.q.column)`` raises ``ValueError``
    hinting that an alias is required for filtering.

    * Test that ``idType`` is either ``int`` or ``str``.

    * Added ``sqlmeta.idSize``. This sets the size of integer column ``id``
    for MySQL and PostgreSQL. Allowed values are ``'TINY'``, ``'SMALL'``,
    ``'MEDIUM'``, ``'BIG'``, ``None``; default is ``None``. For Postgres
    mapped to ``smallserial``/``serial``/``bigserial``. For other backends
    it's currently ignored. Feature request by Meet Gujrathi at
    https://stackoverflow.com/q/77360075/7976758

    What is SQLObject
    =================

    SQLObject is a free and open-source (LGPL) Python 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/MariaDB (with a number of
    DB API drivers: ``MySQLdb``, ``mysqlclient``, ``mysql-connector``,
    ``PyMySQL``, ``mariadb``), PostgreSQL (``psycopg2``, ``PyGreSQL``,
    partially ``pg8000`` and ``py-postgresql``), SQLite (builtin ``sqlite``, ``pysqlite``); connections to other backends
    - Firebird, Sybase, MSSQL and MaxDB (also known as SAPDB) - are less
    debugged).

    Python 2.7 or 3.4+ is required.

    Example
    =======

    Install::

    $ pip install sqlobject

    Create a simple class that wraps a table::

    >>> from sqlobject import *
    >>>
    >>> sqlhub.processConnection = connectionForURI('sqlite:/:memory:')
    >>>
    >>> class Person(SQLObject):
    ... fname = StringCol()
    ... mi = StringCol(length=1, default=None)
    ... lname = StringCol()
    ...
    >>> Person.createTable()

    Use the object::

    >>> p = Person(fname="John", lname="Doe")
    >>> p
    <Person 1 fname='John' mi=None lname='Doe'>
    >>> p.fname
    'John'
    >>> p.mi = 'Q'
    >>> p2 = Person.get(1)
    >>> p2
    <Person 1 fname='John' mi='Q' lname='Doe'>
    >>> p is p2
    True

    Queries::

    >>> p3 = Person.selectBy(lname="Doe")[0]
    >>> p3
    <Person 1 fname='John' mi='Q' lname='Doe'>
    >>> pc = Person.select(Person.q.lname=="Doe").count()
    >>> pc
    1
