0.28.0

What's Changed

• 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.

Full Changelog: 0.27.2...0.28.0

Breaking changes

Other than the changes on dropping support for various EOL software components, there are two behavioral changes which might affect "userspace".

SSL certificate verification

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.

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

Full Changelog: 0.26.0...0.27.0

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.

Full Changelog: 0.25.0...0.26.0

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.

Full Changelog: 0.24.0...0.25.0

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.
