  • Fix bug in model_to_dict() when only aliases are present.
  • Fix version check for Sqlite native drop column support.
  • Do not specify a reconnect= argument to ping() if using MySQL 8.x.

View commits

3.17.0

  • Only roll-back in the outermost @db.transaction decorator/ctx manager if an unhandled exception occurs. Previously, an unhandled exception that occurred in a nested transaction context would trigger a rollback. The use of nested transaction has long been discouraged in the documentation: the recommendation is to always use db.atomic, which will use savepoints to properly handle nested blocks. However, the new behavior should make it easier to reason about transaction boundaries - see #2767 for discussion.
  • Cover transaction BEGIN in the reconnect-mixin. Given that no transaction has been started, reconnecting when beginning a new transaction ensures that a reconnect will occur if it is safe to do so.
  • Add support for setting isolation_level in db.atomic() and db.transaction() when using Postgres and MySQL/MariaDB, which will apply to the wrapped transaction. Note: Sqlite has supported a similar lock_type parameter for some time.
  • Add support for the Sqlite SQLITE_DETERMINISTIC function flag. This allows user-defined Sqlite functions to be used in indexes and may be used by the query planner.
  • Fix unreported bug in dataset import when inferred field name differs from column name.

View commits

3.16.3

  • Support for Cython 3.0.
  • Add flag to ManyToManyField to prevent setting/getting values on unsaved instances. This is worthwhile, since reading or writing a many-to-many has no meaning when the instance is unsaved.
  • Adds a star() helper to Source base-class for selecting all columns.
  • Fix missing binary types for mysql-connector and mariadb-connector.
  • Add extract() method to MySQL JSONField for extracting a jsonpath.

View commits

3.16.2

Fixes a longstanding issue with thread-safety of various decorators, including atomic(), transaction(), savepoint(). The context-managers are unaffected. See #2709 for details.

View commits

3.16.1

  • Add changes required for building against Cython 3.0 and set Cython language-level to 3.
  • Ensure indexes aren't added to unindexed fields during introspection, #2691.
  • Ensure we don't redundantly select same PK in prefetch when using PREFETCH_TYPE.JOIN.
  • In Sqlite migrator, use Sqlite's builtin DROP and RENAME column facilities when possible. This can be overridden by passing legacy=True flag.

View commits

3.16.0

This release contains backwards-incompatible changes in the way Peewee initializes connections to the underlying database driver. Previously, peewee implemented autocommit semantics on-top of the existing DB-API transactional workflow. Going forward, Peewee instead places the DB-API driver into autocommit mode directly.

Why this change?

Previously, Peewee emulated autocommit behavior for top-level queries issued outside of a transaction. This necessitated a number of checks which had to be performed each time a query was executed, so as to ensure that we didn't end up with uncommitted writes or, conversely, idle read transactions. By running the underlying driver in autocommit mode, we can eliminate all these checks, since we are already managing transactions ourselves.

Behaviorally, there should be no change -- Peewee will still treat top-level queries outside of transactions as being autocommitted, while queries inside of atomic() / with db: blocks are implicitly committed at the end of the block, or rolled-back if an exception occurs.

How might this affect me?

  • If you are using the underlying database connection or cursors, e.g. via Database.connection() or Database.cursor(), your queries will now be executed in autocommit mode.
  • The commit= argument is deprecated for the cursor(), execute() and execute_sql() methods.
  • If you have a custom Database implementation (whether for a database that is not officially supported, or for the purpose of overriding default behaviors), you will want to ensure that your connections are opened in autocommit mode.

Other changes:

  • Some fixes to help with packaging in Python 3.11.
  • MySQL get_columns() implementation now returns columns in their declared order.

View commits

3.15.4

  • Raise an exception in ReconnectMixin if connection is lost while inside a transaction (if the transaction was interrupted presumably some changes were lost and explicit intervention is needed).
  • Add db.Model property to reduce boilerplate.
  • Add support for running prefetch() queries with joins instead of subqueries (this helps overcome a MySQL limitation about applying LIMITs to a subquery).
  • Add SQL AVG to whitelist to avoid coercing by default.
  • Allow arbitrary keywords in metaclass constructor, #2627
  • Add a pyproject.toml to silence warnings from newer pips when wheel package is not available.

This release has a small helper for reducing boilerplate in some cases by exposing a base model class as an attribute of the database instance.

# old:
db = SqliteDatabase('...')

class BaseModel(Model):
    class Meta:
        database = db

class MyModel(BaseModel):
    pass

# new:
db = SqliteDatabase('...')

class MyModel(db.Model):
    pass

  • Small doc improvements
  • Fix and remove some flaky test assertions with Sqlite INSERT + RETURNING.
  • Fix innocuous failing Sqlite test on big-endian machines.

View commits

3.15.2

  • Fix bug where field-specific conversions were being applied to the pattern used for LIKE / ILIKE operations. Refs #2609
  • Fix possible infinite loop when accidentally invoking the __iter__ method on certain Column subclasses. Refs #2606

  • Fix issue introduced in Sqlite 3.39.0 regarding the propagation of column subtypes in subqueries.
  • Fix bug where cockroachdb server version was not set when beginning a transaction on an unopened database.

View commits

3.15.0

Rollback behavior change in commit ab43376697 (GH #2026). Peewee will no longer automatically return the cursor rowcount for certain bulk-inserts. This should mainly affect users of MySQL and Sqlite who relied on a bulk INSERT returning the rowcount (as opposed to the cursor's lastrowid). The rowcount behavior is still available chaining the as_rowcount() method:

# NOTE: this change only affects MySQL or Sqlite.
db = MySQLDatabase(...)

# Previously, bulk inserts of the following forms would return the rowcount.
query = User.insert_many(...)  # Bulk insert.
query = User.insert_from(...)  # Bulk insert (INSERT INTO .. SELECT FROM).

# Previous behavior (peewee 3.12 - 3.14.10):
# rows_inserted = query.execute()

# New behavior:
last_id = query.execute()

# To get the old behavior back:
rows_inserted = query.as_rowcount().execute()

Additionally, in previous versions specifying an empty .returning() with Postgres would cause the rowcount to be returned. For Postgres users who wish to receive the rowcount:

# NOTE: this change only affects Postgresql.
db = PostgresqlDatabase(...)

# Previously, an empty returning() would return the rowcount.
query = User.insert_many(...)  # Bulk insert.
query = User.insert_from(...)  # Bulk insert (INSERT INTO .. SELECT FROM).

# Old behavior:
# rows_inserted = query.returning().execute()

# To get the rows inserted in 3.15 and newer:
rows_inserted = query.as_rowcount().execute()

This release contains a fix for a long-standing request to allow data-modifying queries to support CTEs. CTEs are now supported for use with INSERT, DELETE and UPDATE queries - see #2152.

Additionally, this release adds better support for using the new RETURNING syntax with Sqlite automatically. Specify returning_clause=True when initializing your SqliteDatabase and all bulk inserts will automatically specify a RETURNING clause, returning the newly-inserted primary keys. This functionality requires Sqlite 3.35 or newer.

Smaller changes:

  • Add shortcuts.insert_where() helper for generating conditional INSERT with a bit less boilerplate.
  • Fix bug in test_utils.count_queres() which could erroneously include pool events such as connect/disconnect, etc.

View commits

3.14.10

  • Add shortcut for conditional insert using sub-select, see #2528
  • Add convenience left_outer_join() method to query.
  • Add selected_columns property to Select queries.
  • Add name property to Alias instances.
  • Fix regression in tests introduced by change to DataSet in 3.14.9.

View commits

3.14.9

  • Allow calling table_exists() with a model-class, refs
  • Improve is_connection_usable() method of MySQLDatabase class.
  • Better support for VIEWs with playhouse.dataset.DataSet and sqlite-web.
  • Support INSERT / ON CONFLICT in playhosue.kv for newer Sqlite.
  • Add ArrayField.contained_by() method, a corollary to contains() and the contains_any() methods.
  • Support cyclical foreign-key relationships in reflection/introspection, and also for sqlite-web.
  • Add magic methods for FTS5 field to optimize, rebuild and integrity check the full-text index.
  • Add fallbacks in setup.py in the event distutils is not available.

View commits

3.14.8

Back-out all changes to automatically use RETURNING for SqliteExtDatabase, CSqliteExtDatabase and APSWDatabase. The issue I found is that when a RETURNING cursor is not fully-consumed, any parent SAVEPOINT (and possibly transaction) would not be able to be released. Since this is a backwards-incompatible change, I am going to back it out for now.

Returning clause can still be specified for Sqlite, however it just needs to be done so manually rather than having it applied automatically.

View commits

3.14.7

Fix bug in APSW extension with Sqlite 3.35 and newer, due to handling of last insert rowid with RETURNING. Refs #2479.

View commits

3.14.6

Fix pesky bug in new last_insert_id() on the SqliteExtDatabase.

View commits

  • Add missing convenience method ModelSelect.get_or_none()
  • Allow ForeignKeyField to specify a custom BackrefAccessorClass, references issue #2391.
  • Ensure foreign-key-specific conversions are applied on INSERT and UPDATE, fixes #2408.
  • Add handling of MySQL error 4031 (inactivity timeout) to the ReconnectMixin helper class. Fixes #2419.

View commits

3.14.4

This release contains an important fix for a regression introduced by commit ebe3ad5, which affected the way model instances are converted to parameters for use in expressions within a query. The bug could manifest when code uses model instances as parameters in expressions against fields that are not foreign-keys.

The issue is described in #2376.

View commits

3.14.3

This release contains a single fix for ensuring NULL values are inserted when issuing a bulk-insert of heterogeneous dictionaries which may be missing explicit NULL values. Fixes issue #2638.

View commits

3.14.2

This is a small release mainly to get some fixes out.

  • Support for named Check and foreign-key constraints.
  • Better foreign-key introspection for CockroachDB (and Postgres).
  • Register UUID adapter for Postgres.
  • Add fn.array_agg() to blacklist for automatic value coercion.

View commits

3.14.1

This release contains primarily bugfixes.

  • Properly delegate to a foreign-key field's db_value() function when converting model instances. #2304.
  • Strip quote marks and parentheses from column names returned by sqlite cursor when a function-call is projected without an alias. #2305.
  • Fix DataSet.create_index() method, #2319.
  • Fix column-to-model mapping in model-select from subquery with joins, #2320.
  • Improvements to foreign-key lazy-loading thanks @conqp, #2328.
  • Preserve and handle CHECK() constraints in Sqlite migrator, #2343.
  • Add stddev aggregate function to collection of sqlite user-defined funcs.

View commits

3.14.0

This release has been a bit overdue and there are numerous small improvements and bug-fixes. The bugfix that prompted this release is #2293, which is a regression in the Django-inspired .filter() APIs that could cause some filter expressions to be discarded from the generated SQL. Many thanks for the excellent bug report, Jakub.

  • Add an experimental helper, shortcuts.resolve_multimodel_query(), for resolving multiple models used in a compound select query.
  • Add a lateral() method to select query for use with lateral joins, refs issue #2205.
  • Added support for nested transactions (savepoints) in cockroach-db (requires 20.1 or newer).
  • Automatically escape wildcards passed to string-matching methods, refs #2224.
  • Allow index-type to be specified on MySQL, refs #2242.
  • Added a new API, converter() to be used for specifying a function to use to convert a row-value pulled off the cursor, refs #2248.
  • Add set() and clear() method to the bitfield flag descriptor, refs #2257.
  • Add support for range types with IN and other expressions.
  • Support CTEs bound to compound select queries, refs #2289.

Bug-fixes

  • Fix to return related object id when accessing via the object-id descriptor, when the related object is not populated, refs #2162.
  • Fix to ensure we do not insert a NULL value for a primary key.
  • Fix to conditionally set the field/column on an added column in a migration, refs #2171.
  • Apply field conversion logic to model-class values. Relocates the logic from issue #2131 and fixes #2185.
  • Clone node before modifying it to be flat in an enclosed nodelist expr, fixes issue #2200.
  • Fix an invalid item assignment in nodelist, refs #2220.
  • Fix an incorrect truthiness check used with save() and only=, refs #2269.
  • Fix regression in filter() where using both *args and **kwargs caused the expressions passed as args to be discarded. See #2293.

View commits

3.13.3

  • Allow arbitrary keyword arguments to be passed to DataSet constructor, which are then passed to the instrospector.
  • Allow scalar subqueries to be compared using numeric operands.
  • Fix bulk_create() when model being inserted uses FK identifiers.
  • Fix bulk_update() so that PK values are properly coerced to the right data-type (e.g. UUIDs to strings for Sqlite).
  • Allow array indices to be used as dict keys, e.g. for the purposes of updating a single array index value.

View commits

3.13.2

  • Allow aggregate functions to support an ORDER BY clause, via the addition of an order_by() method to the function (fn) instance. Refs #2094.
  • Fix prefetch() bug, where related "backref" instances were marked as dirty, even though they had no changes. Fixes #2091.
  • Support LIMIT 0. Previously a limit of 0 would be translated into effectively an unlimited query on MySQL. References #2084.
  • Support indexing into arrays using expressions with Postgres array fields. References #2085.
  • Ensure postgres introspection methods return the columns for multi-column indexes in the correct order. Fixes #2104.
  • Add support for arrays of UUIDs to postgres introspection.
  • Fix introspection of columns w/capitalized table names in postgres (#2110).
  • Fix to ensure correct exception is raised in SqliteQueueDatabase when iterating over cursor/result-set.
  • Fix bug comparing subquery against a scalar value. Fixes #2118.
  • Fix issue resolving composite primary-keys that include foreign-keys when building the model-graph. Fixes #2115.
  • Allow model-classes to be passed as arguments, e.g., to a table function. Refs #2131.
  • Ensure postgres JSONField.concat() accepts expressions as arguments.

View commits

3.13.1

Fix a regression when specifying keyword arguments to the atomic() or transaction() helper methods. Note: this only occurs if you were using Sqlite and were explicitly setting the lock_type= parameter.

View commits

3.13.0

CockroachDB support added

This will be a notable release as it adds support for CockroachDB, a distributed, horizontally-scalable SQL database.

Other features and fixes

  • Allow FOR UPDATE clause to specify one or more tables (FOR UPDATE OF...).
  • Support for Postgres LATERAL join.
  • Properly wrap exceptions raised during explicit commit/rollback in the appropriate peewee-specific exception class.
  • Capture original exception object and expose it as exc.orig on the wrapped exception.
  • Properly introspect SMALLINT columns in Postgres schema reflection.
  • More flexible handling of passing database-specific arguments to atomic() and transaction() context-manager/decorator.
  • Fix non-deterministic join ordering issue when using the filter() API across several tables (#2063).

View commits

3.12.0

  • Bulk insert (insert_many() and insert_from()) will now return the row count instead of the last insert ID. If you are using Postgres, peewee will continue to return a cursor that provides an iterator over the newly-inserted primary-key values by default. This behavior is being retained by default for compatibility. Postgres users can simply specify an empty returning() call to disable the cursor and retrieve the rowcount instead.
  • Migration extension now supports altering a column's data-type, via the new alter_column_type() method.
  • Added Database.is_connection_usabe() method, which attempts to look at the status of the underlying DB-API connection to determine whether the connection is usable.
  • Common table expressions include a materialized parameter, which can be used to control Postgres' optimization fencing around CTEs.
  • Added BloomFilter.from_buffer() method for populating a bloom-filter from the output of a previous call to the to_buffer() method.
  • Fixed APSW extension's commit() and rollback() methods to no-op if the database is in auto-commit mode.
  • Added generate_always= option to the IdentityField (defaults to False).

View commits

3.11.2

  • Implement hash interface for Alias instances, allowing them to be used in multi-source queries.

View commits

3.11.1

  • Fix bug in new _pk / get_id() implementation for models that explicitly have disabled a primary-key.

View commits

3.11.0

  • Fixes #1991. This particular issue involves joining 3 models together in a chain, where the outer two models are empty. Previously peewee would make the middle model an empty model instance (since a link might be needed from the source model to the outermost model). But since both were empty, it is more correct to make the intervening model a NULL value on the foreign-key field rather than an empty instance.
  • An unrelated fix came out of the work on #1991 where hashing a model whose primary-key happened to be a foreign-key could trigger the FK resolution query. This patch fixes the Model._pk and get_id() interfaces so they no longer introduce the possibility of accidentally resolving the FK.
  • Allow Field.contains(), startswith() and endswith() to compare against another column-like object or expression.
  • Workaround for MySQL prior to 8 and MariaDB handling of union queries inside of parenthesized expressions (like IN).
  • Be more permissive in letting invalid values be stored in a field whose type is INTEGER or REAL, since Sqlite allows this.
  • TimestampField resolution cleanup. Now values 0 and 1 will resolve to a timestamp resolution of 1 second. Values 2-6 specify the number of decimal places (hundredths to microsecond), or alternatively the resolution can still be provided as a power of 10, e.g. 10, 1000 (millisecond), 1e6 (microsecond).
  • When self-referential foreign-keys are inherited, the foreign-key on the subclass will also be self-referential (rather than pointing to the parent model).
  • Add TSV import/export option to the dataset extension.
  • Add item interface to the dataset.Table class for doing primary-key lookup, assignment, or deletion.
  • Extend the mysql ReconnectMixin helper to work with mysql-connector.
  • Fix mapping of double-precision float in postgres schema reflection. Previously it mapped to single-precision, now it correctly uses a double.
  • Fix issue where PostgresqlExtDatabase and MySQLConnectorDatabase did not respect the autoconnect setting.

View commits

3.10.0

  • Add a helper to playhouse.mysql_ext for creating Match full-text search expressions.
  • Added date-part properties to TimestampField for accessing the year, month, day, etc., within a SQL expression.
  • Added to_timestamp() helper for DateField and DateTimeField that produces an expression returning a unix timestamp.
  • Add autoconnect parameter to Database classes. This parameter defaults to True and is compatible with previous versions of Peewee, in which executing a query on a closed database would open a connection automatically. To make it easier to catch inconsistent use of the database connection, this behavior can now be disabled by specifying autoconnect=False, making an explicit call to Database.connect() needed before executing a query.
  • Added database-agnostic interface for obtaining a random value.
  • Allow isolation_level to be specified when initializing a Postgres db.
  • Allow hybrid properties to be used on model aliases. Refs #1969.
  • Support aggregates with FILTER predicates on the latest Sqlite.

Changes

  • More aggressively slot row values into the appropriate field when building objects from the database cursor (rather than using whatever cursor.description tells us, which is buggy in older Sqlite).
  • Be more permissive in what we accept in the insert_many() and insert() methods.
  • When implicitly joining a model with multiple foreign-keys, choose the foreign-key whose name matches that of the related model. Previously, this would have raised a ValueError stating that multiple FKs existed.
  • Improved date truncation logic for Sqlite and MySQL to make more compatible with Postgres' date_trunc() behavior. Previously, truncating a datetime to month resolution would return '2019-08' for example. As of 3.10.0, the Sqlite and MySQL date_trunc implementation returns a full datetime, e.g. '2019-08-01 00:00:00'.
  • Apply slightly different logic for casting JSON values with Postgres. Previously, Peewee just wrapped the value in the psycopg2 Json() helper. In this version, Peewee now dumps the json to a string and applies an explicit cast to the underlying JSON data-type (e.g. json or jsonb).

Bug fixes

  • Save hooks can now be called for models without a primary key.
  • Fixed bug in the conversion of Python values to JSON when using Postgres.
  • Fix for differentiating empty values from NULL values in model_to_dict.
  • Fixed a bug referencing primary-key values that required some kind of conversion (e.g., a UUID). See #1979 for details.
  • Add small jitter to the pool connection timestamp to avoid issues when multiple connections are checked-out at the same exact time.

View commits

3.9.6

  • Support nesting the Database instance as a context-manager. The outermost block will handle opening and closing the connection along with wrapping everything in a transaction. Nested blocks will use savepoints.
  • Add new session_start(), session_commit() and session_rollback() interfaces to the Database object to support using transactional controls in situations where a context-manager or decorator is awkward.
  • Fix error that would arise when attempting to do an empty bulk-insert.
  • Set isolation_level=None in SQLite connection constructor rather than afterwards using the setter.
  • Add create_table() method to Select query to implement CREATE TABLE AS.
  • Cleanup some declarations in the Sqlite C extension.
  • Add new example showing how to implement Reddit's ranking algorithm in SQL.

View commits

3.9.5

  • Added small helper for setting timezone when using Postgres.
  • Improved SQL generation for VALUES clause.
  • Support passing resolution to TimestampField as a power-of-10.
  • Small improvements to INSERT queries when the primary-key is not an auto-incrementing integer, but is generated by the database server (eg uuid).
  • Cleanups to virtual table implementation and python-to-sqlite value conversions.
  • Fixed bug related to binding previously-unbound models to a database using a context manager, #1913.

View commits

3.9.4

  • Add Model.bulk_update() method for bulk-updating fields across multiple model instances. Docs.
  • Add lazy_load parameter to ForeignKeyField. When initialized with lazy_load=False, the foreign-key will not use an additional query to resolve the related model instance. Instead, if the related model instance is not available, the underlying FK column value is returned (behaving like the "_id" descriptor).
  • Added Model.truncate_table() method.
  • The reflection and pwiz extensions now attempt to be smarter about converting database table and column names into snake-case. To disable this, you can set snake_case=False when calling the Introspector.introspect() method or use the -L (legacy naming) option with the pwiz script.
  • Bulk insert via insert_many() no longer require specification of the fields argument when the inserted rows are lists/tuples. In that case, the fields will be inferred to be all model fields except any auto-increment id.
  • Add DatabaseProxy, which implements several of the Database class context managers. This allows you to reference some of the special features of the database object without directly needing to initialize the proxy first.
  • Add support for window function frame exclusion and added built-in support for the GROUPS frame type.
  • Add support for chaining window functions by extending a previously-declared window function.
  • Playhouse Postgresql extension TSVectorField.match() method supports an additional argument plain, which can be used to control the parsing of the TS query.
  • Added very minimal JSONField to the playhouse MySQL extension.

View commits

3.9.3

  • Added cross-database support for NULLS FIRST/LAST when specifying the ordering for a query. Previously this was only supported for Postgres. Peewee will now generate an equivalent CASE statement for Sqlite and MySQL.
  • Added EXCLUDED helper for referring to the EXCLUDED namespace used with INSERT...ON CONFLICT queries, when referencing values in the conflicting row data.
  • Added helper method to the model Metadata class for setting the table name at run-time. Setting the Model._meta.table_name directly may have appeared to work in some situations, but could lead to subtle bugs. The new API is Model._meta.set_table_name().
  • Enhanced helpers for working with Peewee interactively, see doc.
  • Fix cache invalidation bug in DataSet that was originally reported on the sqlite-web project.
  • New example script implementing a hexastore.

View commits

3.9.1 and 3.9.2

Includes a bugfix for an AttributeError that occurs when using MySQL with the MySQLdb client. The 3.9.2 release includes fixes for a test failure.

View commits

3.9.0

  • Added new document describing how to use peewee interactively.
  • Added convenience functions for generating model classes from a pre-existing database, printing model definitions and printing CREATE TABLE sql for a model. See the "use peewee interactively" section for details.
  • Added a __str__ implementation to all Query subclasses which converts the query to a string and interpolates the parameters.
  • Improvements to sqlite_ext.JSONField regarding the serialization of data, as well as the addition of options to override the JSON serialization and de-serialization functions.
  • Added index_type parameter to Field
  • Added DatabaseProxy, which allows one to use database-specific decorators with an uninitialized Proxy object. See #1842 for discussion. Recommend that you update any usage of Proxy for deferring database initialization to use the new DatabaseProxy class instead.
  • Added support for INSERT ... ON CONFLICT when the conflict target is a partial index (e.g., contains a WHERE clause). The OnConflict and on_conflict() APIs now take an additional conflict_where parameter to represent the WHERE clause of the partial index in question. See #1860.
  • Enhanced the playhouse.kv extension to use efficient upsert for all database engines. Previously upsert was only supported for sqlite and mysql.
  • Re-added the orwhere() query filtering method, which will append the given expressions using OR instead of AND. See #391 for old discussion.
  • Added some new examples to the examples/ directory
  • Added select_from() API for wrapping a query and selecting one or more columns from the wrapped subquery. Docs.

3.8.2

Backwards-incompatible changes

  • The default row-type for INSERT queries executed with a non-default RETURNING clause has changed from tuple to Model instances. This makes INSERT behavior consistent with UPDATE and DELETE queries that specify a RETURNING clause. To revert back to the old behavior, just append a call to .tuples() to your INSERT ... RETURNING query.
  • Removing support for the table_alias model Meta option. Previously, this attribute could be used to specify a "vanity" alias for a model class in the generated SQL. As a result of some changes to support more robust UPDATE and DELETE queries, supporting this feature will require some re-working. As of the 3.8.0 release, it was broken and resulted in incorrect SQL for UPDATE queries, so now it is removed.

New features

  • Added playhouse.shortcuts.ReconnectMixin, which can be used to implement automatic reconnect under certain error conditions (notably the MySQL error 2006 - server has gone away).

Bugfixes

  • Fix SQL generation bug when using an inline window function in the ORDER BY clause of a query.
  • Fix possible zero-division in user-defined implementation of BM25 ranking algorithm for SQLite full-text search.

View commits

3.8.1

New features

  • Sqlite SearchField now supports the match() operator, allowing full-text search to be performed on a single column (as opposed to the whole table).

Changes

  • Remove minimum passphrase restrictions in SQLCipher integration.

Bugfixes

  • Support inheritance of ManyToManyField instances.
  • Ensure operator overloads are invoked when generating filter expressions.
  • Fix incorrect scoring in Sqlite BM25, BM25f and Lucene ranking algorithms.
  • Support string field-names in data dictionary when performing an ON CONFLICT ... UPDATE query, which allows field-specific conversions to be applied. References #1815.

View commits

3.8.0

New features

  • Postgres BinaryJSONField now supports has_key(), concat() and remove() methods (though remove may require pg10+).
  • Add python_value() method to the SQL-function helper fn, to allow specifying a custom function for mapping database values to Python values.

Changes

  • Better support for UPDATE ... FROM queries, and more generally, more robust support for UPDATE and RETURNING clauses. This means that the QualifiedNames helper is no longer needed for certain types of queries.
  • The SqlCipherDatabase no longer accepts a kdf_iter parameter. To configure the various SQLCipher encryption settings, specify the setting values as pragmas when initializing the database.
  • Introspection will now, by default, only strip "_id" from introspected column names if those columns are foreign-keys. See #1799 for discussion.
  • Allow UUIDField and BinaryUUIDField to accept hexadecimal UUID strings as well as raw binary UUID bytestrings (in addition to UUID instances, which are already supported).
  • Allow ForeignKeyField to be created without an index.
  • Allow multiple calls to cast() to be chained (#1795).
  • Add logic to ensure foreign-key constraint names that exceed 64 characters are truncated using the same logic as is currently in place for long indexes.
  • ManyToManyField supports foreign-keys to fields other than primary-keys.
  • When linked against SQLite 3.26 or newer, support SQLITE_CONSTRAINT to designate invalid queries against virtual tables.
  • SQL-generation changes to aid in supporting using queries within expressions following the SELECT statement.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed bug in order_by_extend(), thanks @nhatHero.
  • Fixed bug where the DataSet CSV import/export did not support non-ASCII characters in Python 3.x.
  • Fixed bug where model_to_dict would attempt to traverse explicitly disabled foreign-key backrefs (#1785).
  • Fixed bug when attempting to migrate SQLite tables that have a field whose column-name begins with "primary_".
  • Fixed bug with inheriting deferred foreign-keys.

View commits

3.7.1

New features

  • Added table_settings model Meta option, which should be a list of strings specifying additional options for CREATE TABLE, which are placed after the closing parentheses.
  • Allow specification of on_update and on_delete behavior for many-to-many relationships when using ManyToManyField.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed incorrect SQL generation for Postgresql ON CONFLICT clause when the conflict_target is a named constraint (rather than an index expression). This introduces a new keyword-argument to the on_conflict() method: conflict_constraint, which is currently only supported by Postgresql. Refs issue #1737.
  • Fixed incorrect SQL for sub-selects used on the right side of IN expressions. Previously the query would be assigned an alias, even though an alias was not needed.
  • Fixed incorrect SQL generation for Model indexes which contain SQL functions as indexed columns.
  • Fixed bug in the generation of special queries used to perform operations on SQLite FTS5 virtual tables.
  • Allow frozenset to be correctly parameterized as a list of values.
  • Allow multi-value INSERT queries to specify columns as a list of strings.

  • Fixed bug when attempting to serialize many-to-many fields which were created initially with a DeferredThroughModel, see #1708.
  • Fixed bug when using the Postgres ArrayField with an array of BlobField.
  • Allow Proxy databases to be used as a context-manager.
  • Fixed bug where the APSW driver was referring to the SQLite version from the standard library sqlite3 driver, rather than from apsw.
  • Reflection library attempts to wrap server-side column defaults in quotation marks if the column data-type is text/varchar.
  • Missing import in migrations library, which would cause errors when attempting to add indexes whose name exceeded 64 chars.
  • When using the Postgres connection pool, ensure any open/pending transactions are rolled-back when the connection is recycled.
  • Even more changes to the setup.py script. In this case I've added a helper function which will reliably determine if the SQLite3 extensions can be built. This follows the approach taken by the Python YAML package.

  • Redesigned the sqlite json1 integration. and changed some of the APIs and semantics of various JSONField methods. The documentation has been expanded to include more examples and the API has been simplified to make it easier to work with. These changes do not have any effect on the Postgresql JSON fields.

New features

  • Better default repr for model classes and fields.
  • ForeignKeyField() accepts a new initialization parameter, deferrable, for specifying when constraints should be enforced.
  • BitField.flag() can be called without a value parameter for the common use-case of using flags that are powers-of-2.

  • LIMIT and OFFSET parameters are now treated as parameterized values instead of literals.
  • The schema parameter for SQLite database introspection methods is no longer ignored by default. The schema corresponds to the name given to an attached database.
  • ArrayField now accepts a new parameter field_kwargs, which is used to pass information to the array field's field_class initializer.

New features and other changes

View commits

3.2.0

The 3.2.0 release introduces a potentially backwards-incompatible change. The only users affected will be those that have implemented custom Field types with a user-defined coerce method. tl/dr: rename the coerce attribute to adapt and you should be set.

Field.coerce renamed to Field.adapt

The Field.coerce method has been renamed to Field.adapt. The purpose of this method is to convert a value from the application/database into the appropriate Python data-type. For instance, IntegerField.adapt is simply the int built-in function.

The motivation for this change is to support adding metadata to any AST node instructing Peewee to not coerce the associated value. As an example, consider this code:

class Note(Model):
    id = AutoField()  # autoincrementing integer primary key.
    content = TextField()

# Query notes table and cast the "id" to a string and store as "id_text" attr.
query = Note.select(Note.id.cast('TEXT').alias('id_text'), Note.content)

a_note = query.get()
print((a_note.id_text, a_note.content))

# Prior to 3.2.0 the CAST is "un-done" because the value gets converted
# back to an integer, since the value is associated with the Note.id field:
(1, u'some note')  # 3.1.7, e.g. -- "id_text" is an integer!

# As of 3.2.0, CAST will automatically prevent the conversion of field values,
# which is an extension of a more general metadata API that can instruct Peewee
# not to convert certain values.
(u'1', u'some note')  # 3.2.0 -- "id_text" is a string as expected.

If you have implemented custom Field classes and are using coerce to enforce a particular data-type, you can simply rename the attribute to adapt.

Other changes

Old versions of SQLite do not strip quotation marks from aliased column names in compound queries (e.g. UNION). Fixed in 3.2.0.

New behavior for INSERT queries with RETURNING clause

Investigating #1522, it occurred to me that INSERT queries with non-default RETURNING clauses (postgres-only feature) should always return a cursor object. Previously, if executing a single-row INSERT query, the last-inserted row ID would be returned, regardless of what was specified by the RETURNING clause.

This change only affects INSERT queries with non-default RETURNING clauses and will cause a cursor to be returned, as opposed to the last-inserted row ID.

2.10.0

The main change in this release is the removal of the AESEncryptedField, which was included as part of the playhouse.fields extension. It was brought to my attention that there was some serious potential for security vulnerabilities. Rather than give users a false sense of security, I've decided the best course of action is to remove the field.

  • Remove the playhouse.fields.AESEncryptedField over security concerns described in ticket #1264.

  • #1133 - Fixed bug in the conversion of objects to Decimal instances in the DecimalField.
  • Fixed an issue renaming a unique foreign key in MySQL.
  • Remove the join predicate from CROSS JOINs.
  • #1148 - Ensure indexes are created when a column is added using a schema migration.
  • #1165 - Fix bug where the primary key was being overwritten in queries using the closure-table extension.

New stuff

  • Added properties to the SqliteExtDatabase to expose common PRAGMA settings. For example, to set the cache size to 4MB, db.cache_size = 1000.
  • Clarified documentation on calling commit() or rollback() from within the scope of an atomic block. See docs.
  • Allow table creation dependencies to be specified using new depends_on meta option. Refs #1076.
  • Allow specification of the lock type used in SQLite transactions. Previously this behavior was only present in playhouse.sqlite_ext.SqliteExtDatabase, but it now exists in peewee.SqliteDatabase.
  • Added support for CROSS JOIN expressions in select queries.
  • Docs on how to implement optimistic locking.
  • Documented optional dependencies.
  • Generic support for specifying select queries as locking the selected rows FOR X, e.g. FOR UPDATE or FOR SHARE.
  • Support for specifying the frame-of-reference in window queries, e.g. specifying UNBOUNDED PRECEDING, etc. See docs.

Backwards-incompatible changes

  • As of 9e76c99, an OperationalError is raised if the user calls connect() on an already-open Database object. Previously, the existing connection would remain open and a new connection would overwrite it, making it impossible to close the previous connection. If you find this is causing breakage in your application, you can switch the connect() call to get_conn() which will only open a connection if necessary. The error is indicative of a real issue, though, so audit your code for places where you may be opening a connection without closing it (module-scope operations, e.g.).

2.8.6

This release was later removed due to containing a bug. See notes on 2.8.7.

2.8.5

This release contains two small bugfixes.

  • #1081 - fixed the use of parentheses in compound queries on MySQL.
  • Fixed some grossness in a helper function used by prefetch that was clearing out the GROUP BY and HAVING clauses of sub-queries.

View commits

2.8.4

This release contains bugfixes as well as a new playhouse extension module for working with SQLite in multi-threaded / concurrent environments. The new module is called playhouse.sqliteq and it works by serializing queries using a dedicated worker thread (or greenlet). The performance is quite good, hopefully this proves useful to someone besides myself! You can learn more by reading the sqliteq documentation.

As a miscellaneous note, I did some major refactoring and cleanup in ExtQueryResultsWrapper and it's corollary in the speedups module. The code is much easier to read than before.

View commits

Bugs fixed

  • #1061 - @akrs patched a bug in TimestampField which affected the accuracy of sub-second timestamps (for resolution > 1).
  • #1071, small python 3 fix.
  • #1072, allow DeferredRelation to be used multiple times if there are multiple references to a given deferred model.
  • #1073, fixed regression in the speedups module that caused SQL functions to always coerce return values, regardless of the coerce flag.
  • #1083, another Python 3 issue - this time regarding the use of exc.message.

View commits

2.8.3

This release contains bugfixes and a small backwards-incompatible change to the way foreign key ObjectIdDescriptor is named (issue #1050).

Bugs fixed and general changes

  • #1028 - allow the ensure_join method to accept on and join_type parameters. Thanks @paulbooth.
  • #1032 - fix bug related to coercing model instances to database parameters when the model's primary key is a foreign key.
  • #1035 - fix bug introduced in 2.8.2, where I had added some logic to try and restrict the base Model class from being treated as a "real" Model.
  • #1039 - update documentation to clarify that lists or tuples are acceptable values when specifying SQLite PRAGMA statements.
  • #1041 - PyPy user was unable to install Peewee. (Who in their right mind would ever use PyPy?!) Bug was fixed by removing the pre-generated C files from the distribution.
  • #1043 - fix bug where the speedups C extension was not calling the correct model initialization method, resulting in model instances returned as results of a query having their dirty flag incorrectly set.
  • #1048 - similar to #1043, add logic to ensure that fields with default values are considered dirty when instantiating the model.
  • #1049 - update URL to APSW.
  • Fixed unreported bug regarding TimestampField with zero values reporting the incorrect datetime.

New stuff

  • djpeewee extension module now works with Django 1.9.
  • TimestampField is now an officially documented field.
  • #1050 - use the db_column of a ForeignKeyField for the name of the ObjectIdDescriptor, except when the db_column and field name are the same, in which case the ID descriptor will be named <field_name>_id.

View commits

2.8.2

This release contains mostly bug-fixes, clean-ups, and API enhancements.

Bugs fixed and general cleanups

  • #820 - fixed some bugs related to the Cython extension build process.
  • #858 - allow blanks and perform type conversion when using the db_url extension
  • #922 - ensure that peewee.OperationalError is raised consistently when using the RetryOperationalError mixin.
  • #929 - ensure that pwiz will import the appropriate extensions when vendor-specific fields are used.
  • #930 - ensure that pwiz-generated models containing UnknownField placeholders do not blow up when you instantiate them.
  • #932 - correctly limit the length of automatically-generated index names.
  • #933 - fixed bug where BlobField could not be used if it's parent model pointed to an uninitialized database Proxy.
  • #935 - greater consistency with the conversion to Python data-types when performing aggregations, annotations, or calling scalar().
  • #939 - ensure the correct data-types are used when initializing a connection pool.
  • #947 - fix bug where Signal subclasses were not returning rows affected on save.
  • #951 - better warnings regarding C extension compilation, thanks @dhaase-de.
  • #968 - fix bug where table names starting with numbers generated invalid table names when using pwiz.
  • #971 - fix bug where parameter was not being used. Thanks @jberkel.
  • #974 - fixed the way SqliteExtDatabase handles the automatic rowid (and docid) columns. Thanks for alerting me to the issue and providing a failing test case @jberkel.
  • #976 - fix obscure bug relating to cloning foreign key fields twice.
  • #981 - allow set instances to be used on the right-hand side of IN exprs.
  • #983 - fix behavior where the default id primary key was inherited regardless. When users would inadvertently include it in their queries, it would use the table alias of it's parent class.
  • #992 - add support for db_column in djpeewee
  • #995 - fix the behavior of truncate_date with Postgresql. Thanks @Zverik.
  • #1011 - correctly handle bytes wrapper used by PasswordField to bytes.
  • #1012 - when selecting and joining on multiple models, do not create model instances when the foreign key is NULL.
  • #1017 - do not coerce the return value of function calls to COUNT or SUM, since the python driver will already give us the right Python value.
  • #1018 - use global state to resolve DeferredRelations, allowing for a nicer API. Thanks @brenguyen711.
  • #1022 - attempt to avoid creating invalid Python when using pwiz with MySQL database columns containing spaces. Yes, fucking spaces.
  • #1024 - fix bug in SQLite migrator which had a naive approach to fixing indexes.
  • #1025 - explicitly check for None when determining if the database has been set on ModelOptions. Thanks @joeyespo.

New stuff

  • Added TimestampField for storing datetimes using integers. Greater than second delay is possible through exponentiation.
  • Added Database.drop_index() method.
  • Added a max_depth parameter to the model_to_dict function in the playhouse.shortcuts extension module.
  • SelectQuery.first() function accepts a parameter n which applies a limit to the query and returns the first row. Previously the limit was not applied out of consideration for subsequent iterations, but I believe usage has shown that a limit is more desirable than reserving the option to iterate without a second query. The old behavior is preserved in the new SelectQuery.peek() method.
  • group_by(), order_by(), window() now accept a keyward argument extend, which, when set to True, will append to the existing values rather than overwriting them.
  • Query results support negative indexing.
  • C sources are included now as part of the package. I think they should be able to compile for python 2 or 3, on linux or windows...but not positive.
  • #895 - added the ability to query using the <foreign_key>_id attribute.
  • #948 - added documentation about SQLite limits and how they affect
  • #1009 - allow DATABASE_URL as a recognized parameter to the Flask config. insert_many.

View commits

2.8.0

This release includes a couple new field types and greatly improved C extension support for both speedups and SQLite enhancements. Also includes some work, suggested by @foxx, to remove some places where Proxy was used in favor of more obvious APIs.

New features

  • travis-ci builds now include MySQL and Python 3.5. Dropped support for Python 3.2 and 3.3. Builds also will run the C-extension code.
  • C extension speedups now enabled by default, includes faster implementations for dict and tuple QueryResultWrapper classes, faster date formatting, and a faster field and model sorting.
  • C implementations of SQLite functions is now enabled by default. SQLite extension is now compatible with APSW and can be used in standalone form directly from Python. See SqliteExtDatabase for more details.
  • SQLite C extension now supports murmurhash2.
  • UUIDField is now supported for SQLite and MySQL, using text and varchar respectively, thanks @foxx!
  • Added BinaryField, thanks again, @foxx!
  • Added PickledField to playhouse.fields.
  • ManyToManyField now accepts a list of primary keys when adding or removing values from the through relationship.
  • Added support for SQLite table-valued functions using the sqlite-vtfunc library.
  • Significantly simplified the build process for compiling the C extensions.

Backwards-incompatible changes

  • Instead of using a Proxy for defining circular foreign key relationships, you now need to use DeferredRelation.
  • Instead of using a Proxy for defining many-to-many through tables, you now need to use DeferredThroughModel.
  • SQLite Virtual Models must now use Meta.extension_module and Meta.extension_options to declare extension and any options. For more details, see VirtualModel.
  • MySQL database will now issue COMMIT statements for SELECT queries. This was not necessary, but added due to an influx of confused users creating GitHub tickets. Hint: learn to user your damn database, it's not magic!

Bugs fixed

Some of these may have been included in a previous release, but since I did not list them I'm listing them here.

  • #766, fixed bug with PasswordField and Python3. Fuck Python 3.
  • #768, fixed SortedFieldList and remove_field(). Thanks @klen!
  • #771, clarified docs for APSW.
  • #773, added docs for request hooks in Pyramid (who uses Pyramid, by the way?).
  • #774, prefetch() only loads first ForeignKeyField for a given relation.
  • #782, fixed typo in docs.
  • #791, foreign keys were not correctly handling coercing to the appropriate python value.
  • #792, cleaned up some CSV utils code.
  • #798, cleaned up iteration protocol in QueryResultWrappers.
  • #806, not really a bug, but MySQL users were clowning around and needed help.

View commits

2.7.4

This is another small release which adds code to automatically build the SQLite C extension if libsqlite is available. The release also includes:

  • Support for UUIDField with SQLite.
  • Support for registering additional database classes with the db_url module via register_database.
  • prefetch() supports fetching multiple foreign-keys to the same model class.
  • Added method to validate FTS5 search queries.

View commits

2.7.3

Small release which includes some changes to the BM25 sorting algorithm and the addition of a JSONField for use with the new JSON1 extension.

2.7.2

People were having trouble building the sqlite extension. I figure enough people are having trouble that I made it a separate command: python setup.py build_sqlite_ext.

2.7.1

Jacked up the setup.py

2.7.0

New APIs, features, and performance improvements.

Notable changes and new features

  • PasswordField that uses the bcrypt module.
  • Added new Model Meta.only_save_dirty flag to, by default, only save fields that have been modified.
  • Added support for upsert() on MySQL (in addition to SQLite).
  • Implemented SQLite ranking functions (rank and bm25) in Cython, and changed both the Cython and Python APIs to accept weight values for every column in the search index. This more closely aligns with the APIs provided by FTS5. In fact, made the APIs for FTS4 and FTS5 result ranking compatible.
  • Major changes to the :ref:sqlite_ext module. Function callbacks implemented in Python were implemented in Cython (e.g. date manipulation and regex processing) and will be used if Cython is available when Peewee is installed.
  • Support for the experimental new FTS5 SQLite search extension.
  • Added :py:class:SearchField for use with the SQLite FTS extensions.
  • Added :py:class:RowIDField for working with the special rowid column in SQLite.
  • Added a model class validation hook to allow model subclasses to perform any validation after class construction. This is currently used to ensure that FTS5Model subclasses do not violate any rules required by the FTS5 virtual table.

Bugs fixed

  • #751, fixed some very broken behavior in the MySQL migrator code. Added more tests.
  • #718, added a RetryOperationalError mixin that will try automatically reconnecting after a failed query. There was a bug in the previous error handler implementation that made this impossible, which is also fixed.

Small bugs

  • #713, fix column name regular expression in SQLite migrator.
  • #724, fixed NULL handling with the Postgresql JSONField.

  • Check whether pysqlite or libsqlite were compiled with BerkeleyDB support when using the :py:class:BerkeleyDatabase.
  • Clean up the options passed to SQLite virtual tables on creation.

Small features

  • #700, use sensible default if field's declared data-type is not present in the field type map.
  • #707, allow model to be specified explicitly in prefetch().
  • #734, automatic testing against python 3.5.
  • #753, added support for upsert() ith MySQL via the REPLACE INTO ... statement.
  • #757, pwiz, the schema intropsection tool, will now generate multi-column index declarations.
  • #756, pwiz will capture passwords using the getpass() function rather than via the command-line.
  • Removed Database.sql_error_handler(), replaced with the RetryOperationalError mixin class.
  • Documentation for Meta.order_by and Meta.primary_key.
  • Better documentation around column and table constraints.
  • Improved performance for some methods that are called frequently.
  • Added coerce parameter to BareField and added documentation.

View commits

2.6.0

This is a tiny update, mainly consisting of a new-and-improved implementation of get_or_create() (docs).

Backwards-incompatible changes

  • get_or_create() now returns a 2-tuple consisting of the model instance and a boolean indicating whether the instance was created. The function now behaves just like the Django equivalent.

New features

  • #574, better support for setting the character encoding on Postgresql database connections. Thanks @klen!
  • Improved implementation of get_or_create().

View commits

2.5.1

This is a relatively small release with a few important bugfixes.

Backwards-incompatible changes

  • Calls to Node.in_() and Node.not_in() do not take *args anymore and instead take a single argument.

View commits

2.5.0

There are a couple new features so I thought I'd bump to 2.5.x. One change Postgres users may be happy to see is the use of INSERT ... RETURNING to perform inserts. This should definitely speed up inserts for Postgres, since an extra query is no longer needed to get the new auto-generated primary key.

I also added a new context manager/decorator that allows you to use a different database for the duration of the wrapped block.

Bugs fixed

  • #534, CSV utils was erroneously stripping the primary key from CSV data.
  • #537, fix upserts when using insert_many.
  • #541, respect autorollback with PostgresqlExtDatabase. Thanks @davidmcclure.
  • #551, fix for QueryResultWrapper's implementation of the iterator protocol.
  • #554, allow SQLite journal_mode to be set at run-time.
  • Fixed case-sensitivity issue with DataSet.

New features

  • Added support for CAST expressions.
  • Added a hook for extending Node with custom methods.
  • JOIN_<type> became JOIN.<type>, e.g. .join(JOIN.LEFT_OUTER).
  • OP_<code> became OP.<code>.
  • #556, allowed using + and - prefixes to indicate ascending/descending ordering.
  • #550, added Database.initialize_connection() hook.
  • #549, bind selected columns to a particular model. Thanks @jhorman, nice PR!
  • #531, support for swapping databases at run-time via Using.
  • #530, support for SQLCipher and Python3.
  • New RowIDField for sqlite_ext playhouse module. This field can be used to interact with SQLite rowid fields.
  • Added LateralJoin helper to the postgres_ext playhouse module.
  • New example blog app.

2.4.7

Bugs fixed

  • #504, Docs updates.
  • #506, Fixed regression in aggregate_rows()
  • #510, Fixes bug in pwiz overwriting columns.
  • #514, Correctly cast foreign keys in prefetch().
  • #515, Simplifies queries issued when doing recursive deletes.
  • #516, Fix cloning of Field objects.
  • #519, Aggregate rows now correctly preserves ordering of joined instances.
  • Unreported, fixed bug to not leave expired connections sitting around in the pool.

New features

  • Added support for Postgresql's jsonb type with BinaryJSONField.
  • Add some basic Flask helpers.
  • Add support for UNION ALL queries in #512
  • Add SqlCipherExtDatabase, which combines the sqlcipher database with the sqlite extensions.
  • Add option to print metadata when generating code with pwiz.

View commits

2.4.6

This is a relatively small release with mostly bug fixes and updates to the documentation. The one new feature I'd like to highlight is the ManyToManyField (docs).

Bugs fixed

  • #503, fixes behavior of aggregate_rows() when used with a CompositeKey.
  • #498, fixes value coercion for field aliases.
  • #492, fixes bug with pwiz and composite primary keys.
  • #486, correctly handle schemas with reflection module.

New features

  • Peewee has a new ManyToManyField available in the playhouse.shortcuts module.
  • Peewee now has proper support for NOT IN queries through the Node.not_in() method.
  • Models now support iteration. This is equivalent to Model.select().

View commits

2.4.5

I'm excited about this release, as in addition to a number of new features and bugfixes, it also is a step towards cleaner code. I refactored the tests into a number of modules, using a standard set of base test-cases and helpers. I also introduced the mock library into the test suite and plan to use it for cleaner tests going forward. There's a lot of work to do to continue cleaning up the tests, but I'm feeling good about the changes. Curiously, the test suite runs faster now.

Bugs fixed

  • #471, #482 and #484, all of which had to do with how joins were handled by the aggregate_rows() query result wrapper.
  • #472 removed some needless special-casing in Model.save().
  • #466 fixed case-sensitive issues with the SQLite migrator.
  • #474 fixed a handful of bugs that cropped up migrating foreign keys with SQLite.
  • #475 fixed the behavior of the SQLite migrator regarding auto-generated indexes.
  • #479 fixed a bug in the code that stripped extra parentheses in the SQL generator.
  • Fixed a handful of bugs in the APSW extension.

New features

  • Added connection abstraction called ExecutionContext (see docs).
  • Made all context managers work as decorators (atomic, transaction, savepoint, execution_context).
  • Added explicit methods for IS NULL and IS NOT NULL queries. The latter was actually necessary since the behavior is different from NOT IS NULL (...).
  • Allow disabling backref validation (#465)
  • Made quite a few improvements to the documentation, particularly sections on transactions.
  • Added caching to the DataSet extension, which should improve performance.
  • Made the SQLite migrator smarter with regards to preserving indexes when a table copy is necessary.

View commits

2.4.4

Biggest news: peewee has a new logo!

  • Small documentation updates here and there.

Backwards-incompatible changes

  • The argument signature for the SqliteExtDatabase.aggregate() decorator changed so that the aggregate name is the first parameter, and the number of parameters is the second parameter. If no values are specified, peewee will choose the name of the class and an un-specified number of arguments (-1).
  • The logic for saving a model with a composite key changed slightly. Previously, if a model had a composite primary key and you called save(), only the dirty fields would be saved.

Bugs fixed

  • #462
  • #465, add hook for disabling backref validation.
  • #466, fix case-sensitive table names with migration module.
  • #469, save only dirty fields.

New features

  • Lots of enhancements and cleanup to the playhouse.apsw_ext module.
  • The playhouse.reflection module now supports introspecting indexes.
  • Added a model option for disabling backref validation.
  • Added support for the SQLite closure table extension.
  • Added support for virtual fields, which act on dynamically-created virtual table fields.
  • Added a new example: a virtual table implementation that exposes Redis as a relational database table.
  • Added a module playhouse.sqlite_aggregates that contains a handful of aggregates you may find useful when developing with SQLite.

View commits

  • #457 and #458, fixed documentation deficiences.

New features

  • Added support for importing data when using the DataSet extension.

  • #447, fixed documentation typo.

View commits

2.4.0

This release contains a number of enhancements to the playhouse collection of extensions.

Backwards-incompatible changes

As of 2.4.0, most of the introspection logic was moved out of the pwiz module and into playhouse.reflection.

New features

  • Created a new reflection extension for introspecting databases. The reflection module additionally can generate actual peewee Model classes dynamically.
  • Created a dataset library (based on the SQLAlchemy project of the same name). For more info check out the blog post announcing playhouse.dataset.
  • Added a db_url module which creates Database objects from a connection string.
  • Added csv dump functionality to the CSV utils extension.
  • Added an atomic context manager to support nested transactions.
  • Added support for HStore, JSON and TSVector to the reflection module.
  • More documentation updates.

Bugs fixed

  • Fixed #440, which fixes a bug where Model.dirty_fields did not return an empty set for some subclasses of QueryResultWrapper.

2.3.3

This release contains a lot of improvements to the documentation and a mixed bag of other new features and bugfixes.

Backwards-incompatible changes

As of 2.3.3, all peewee Database instances have a default of True for the threadlocals parameter. This means that a connection is opened for each thread. It seemed to me that by sharing connections across threads caused a lot of confusion to users who weren't aware of (or familiar with) the threadlocals parameter. For single-threaded apps the behavior will not be affected, but for multi-threaded applications, if you wish to share your connection across threads you must now specify threadlocals=False. For more information, see the documentation.

I also renamed the Model.get_id() and Model.set_id() convenience methods so as not to conflict with Flask-Login. These methods should have probably been private anyways, and the new methods are named _get_pk_value() and _set_pk_value().

New features

  • Basic support for Postgresql full-text search.
  • Helper functions for converting models to dictionaries and unpacking dictionaries into model instances. See docs.

Bugs fixed

  • Fixed #428, documentation formatting error.
  • Fixed #429, which fixes the way default values are initialized for bulk inserts.
  • Fixed #432, making the HStore extension optional when using PostgresqlExtDatabase.
  • Fixed #435, allowing peewee to be used with Flask-Login.
  • Fixed #436, allowing the SQLite date_part and date_trunc functions to correctly handle NULL values.
  • Fixed #438, in which the ordering of clauses in a Join expression were causing unpredictable behavior when selecting related instances.
  • Updated the berkeley_build.sh script, which was incompatible with the newest version of bsddb3.

View commits

2.2.0

This release contains a large refactoring of the way SQL was generated for both the standard query classes (Select, Insert, Update, Delete) as well as for the DDL methods (create_table, create_index, etc). Instead of joining strings of SQL and manually quoting things, I've created Clause objects containing multiple Node objects to represent all parts of the query.

I also changed the way peewee determins the SQL to represent a field. Now a field implements __ddl__ and __ddl_column__ methods. The former creates the entire field definition, e.g.:

"quoted_column_name" <result of call to __ddl_column__> [NOT NULL/PRIMARY KEY/DEFAULT NEXTVAL(...)/CONSTRAINTS...]

The latter method is responsible just for the column type definition. This might return VARCHAR(255) or simply TEXT. I've also added support for arbitrary constraints on each field, so you might have:

price = DecimalField(decimal_places=2, constraints=[Check('price > 0')])

Changes in 2.2.0

  • Refactored query generation for both SQL queries and DDL queries.
  • Support for arbitrary column constraints.
  • autorollback option to the Database class that will roll back the transaction before raising an exception.
  • Added JSONField type to the postgresql_ext module.
  • Track fields that are explicitly set, allowing faster saves (thanks @soasme).
  • Allow the FROM clause to be an arbitrary Node object (#290).
  • schema is a new Model.Mketa option and is used throughout the code.
  • Allow indexing operation on HStore fields (thanks @zdxerr, #293).

Bugs fixed

  • #277 (where calls not chainable with update query)
  • #278, use wraps(), thanks @lucasmarshall
  • #284, call prepared() after create(), thanks @soasme.
  • #286, cursor description issue with pwiz + postgres

2.1.7

Changes in 2.1.7

  • Common set of exceptions to wrap DB-API 2 driver-specific exception classes, e.g. peewee.IntegrityError.
  • When pwiz cannot determine the underlying column type, display it in a comment in the generated code.
  • Support for circular foreign-keys.
  • Moved Proxy into peewee (previously in playhouse.proxy).
  • Renamed R() to SQL().
  • General code cleanup, some new comments and docstrings.

Bugs fixed

  • Fixed a small bug in the way errors were handled in transaction context manager.
  • #257
  • #265, nest multiple calls to functions decorated with @database.commit_on_success.
  • #266
  • #267
