Products.ZMySQLDA change log
4.0beta1 (unreleased)
- New maintainers: SNTL PUBLISHING / HOFFMANN+LIEBENBERG GMBH and
Jens Vagelpohl
- Moved away from the unsupported
MySQLdb1
to the fork
mysqlclient
, which is Python 3-compatible.
- Added simple buildout configuration with tox integration
- Zope 4 and Python 3 compatibility
- Added unit tests
- Added some
Sphinx
-based documentation and copied any useful
items from the old HelpSys
files.
- Removed the hurt system files.
- Improved the
Browse
tab with more table information.
3.1.1
- #3106015: zope 2.12/plone4 compatibility fix (thanks Mark Van den Borre)
- #3076433: column descriptions always said NOT NULL (thanks Frank Hoffmann)
3.1
- #2357223: Savepoint support
3.0
- Added Setuptools support to create an egg package thanks to
Brett Carter.
- Added condition to handle connection getting “out of sync”. This can occur
when, for instance, you get a stray semicolon in a query. When a connection
gets in this state it is hosed and must be closed and reconnected.
- Made some changes to how
use_unicode
and auto_create_db
are set to
better allow for subclassing and extensions of the base classes.
- Added handling of NEWDECIMAL which was added for mysql 5.0.
- Added basic support for procedure calls using
CALL
query.
3.0beta1
- Fixed issue with
sql_quote__
getting called prior to connection being made.
- Fixed bug #1916952. Updating to API change in MySQLdb 1.2.2 ping method.
- Fixed backwards compatibility issue with MySQLdb versions <= 1.2.1.
3.0alpha4
- Fixed pernicious corner case bug with joining a transaction after the
transaction has started and been aborted.
- Zope dependency raised to Zope-2.8 or newer.
3.0alpha3
- Unicode support now works!
- Unicode support reworked to use MySQLdb’s unicode support instead of its
own half-baked layer.
- Minor cleanups and extensions to database introspection methods.
- Minor cleanups/fixes to dtml.
- Removed a few unnecessary thread locks.
- Changed failed query logging entries from errors to warnings.
3.0alpha2
- Moved DBPool instantiation from factory() to connect() to better facilitate
API backwards compatibility.
- Changed all default values on keyword aruments for the auto create db
feature. They all now default to True.
- Left in a bit of debugging code that disabled the new create_db
functionality. Removed it.
3.0alpha1
- New maintainer: John Eikenberry
- Note that there are some changes in the internal API. So if you have
subclassed you should double check compatibility.
Features:
- Experimental Unicode support has been added. It is hardcoded to UTF-8 and
has had limited testing at this point. Adapted from patches made by Graeme
Mathieson.
- New optional feature of automatically creating the database provided in the
connection string. The mysql
user
used for the connection must have
CREATE permission. It defaults to on to encourage more testing.
- Database connection not created until first use instead of when the
object is first loaded. Ie. connection created at
connect()
call instead
of __setstate__()
call. This helps conserve system resources and makes
debugging connection issues a bit easier. It is also needed for the new
db pool implementation (see below).
Bugs:
- Automatically reopens connections closed by client timeouts.
- Fixed major deadlock causing bug that can occur with versions of Zope
greater than 2.8. It was caused by the use of the volatile attribute
_v_
to keep the reference to the existing connection. Volatile
attributes can go away mid-transaction which would cause a deadlock when
used with a transactional engine (eg. innodb). The fix involves a fixed
pool of adapters and db connections. This also allowed for the elimination
of many of the locks. Adapted from patches made by Vincent Pelletier.
- #670137: missing
sortKey()
fixed in Zope
- #814378: infinite reconnect recursion fixed
- #1560557: missing import
- #1242842: missing
MULTI_STATEMENTS
- #1226690: missing
close()
method
2.0.9
- Allow the connection string to work without a specified database.
- Wrap queries with a lock to prevent multiple threads from using
the connection simultaneously (this may or may not be happening).
If transactional, then there is an additional transaction lock,
acquired at the beginning of the transaction and released when
either finished or aborted.
- A named lock can be specified by inserting
*LOCKNAME
at the start
of the connection string. This is probably best used only if you
must use non-transactional tables.
- Some stuff will be logged as an error when bad things happen
during the transaction manager hooks.
2.0.8
- More information about columns is available from the table
browser. This is primarily to support SQL Blender.
DECIMAL
and NUMERIC
columns now returned as floating-point numbers
(was string). This has also been fixed in MySQLdb-0.9.1, but the
fix is included here just in case you don’t upgrade. Upgrading is
a good idea anyway, because some memory-related bugs are fixed,
particularly if using Zope 2.4 and Python 2.1.
2.0.7
- Transaction support tweaked some more. A plus (
+
) or minus (-
)
at the beginning of the connection string will force transactions
on or off respectively. By default, transactions are enabled if
the server supports them. Beware: If you are using non-TST tables
on a server that supports transactions, you should probably force
transactions off.
2.0.6
- This version finally should have all the transaction support
working correctly. If your MySQL server supports transactions,
i.e. it has at least one transaction-safe table (TST) handler,
transactions are enabled automatically. If transactions are
enabled, rollbacks (aborts) fail if any non-TST tables were
modified.
2.0.5
- Transactions don’t really work right in this and prior versions.
2.0.4
INT
columns, whether UNSIGNED
or not, are returned as Python
long integers to avoid overflows. Python-1.5.2 adds an L
to
the end of long integers when printing. Later versions do not.
As a workaround, use affected columns with a format string,
i.e. <dtml-var x fmt="%d">
.
2.0.0
- This is the first version of the database adapter using MySQLdb
for Zope. This database adapter is based on the Z DCOracle DA
version 2.2.0.
