* - A rework to the way that "quoted" identifiers are handled, in thatMike Bayer2013-08-271-11/+105
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | instead of relying upon various ``quote=True`` flags being passed around, these flags are converted into rich string objects with quoting information included at the point at which they are passed to common schema constructs like :class:`.Table`, :class:`.Column`, etc. This solves the issue of various methods that don't correctly honor the "quote" flag such as :meth:`.Engine.has_table` and related methods. The :class:`.quoted_name` object is a string subclass that can also be used explicitly if needed; the object will hold onto the quoting preferences passed and will also bypass the "name normalization" performed by dialects that standardize on uppercase symbols, such as Oracle, Firebird and DB2. The upshot is that the "uppercase" backends can now work with force-quoted names, such as lowercase-quoted names and new reserved words. [ticket:2812]
* - apply an import refactoring to the ORM as wellMike Bayer2013-08-141-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | - rework the event system so that event modules load after their targets, dependencies are reversed - create an improved strategy lookup system for the ORM - rework the ORM to have very few import cycles - move out "importlater" to just util.dependency - other tricks to cross-populate modules in as clear a way as possible

* - A large refactoring of the ``sqlalchemy.sql`` package has reorganizedMike Bayer2013-08-121-0/+2369
the import structure of many core modules. ``sqlalchemy.schema`` and ``sqlalchemy.types`` remain in the top-level package, but are now just lists of names that pull from within ``sqlalchemy.sql``. Their implementations are now broken out among ``sqlalchemy.sql.type_api``, ``sqlalchemy.sql.sqltypes``, ``sqlalchemy.sql.schema`` and ``sqlalchemy.sql.ddl``, the last of which was moved from ``sqlalchemy.engine``. ``sqlalchemy.sql.expression`` is also a namespace now which pulls implementations mostly from ``sqlalchemy.sql.elements``, ``sqlalchemy.sql.selectable``, and ``sqlalchemy.sql.dml``. Most of the "factory" functions used to create SQL expression objects have been moved to classmethods or constructors, which are exposed in ``sqlalchemy.sql.expression`` using a programmatic system. Care has been taken such that all the original import namespaces remain intact and there should be no impact on any existing applications. The rationale here was to break out these very large modules into smaller ones, provide more manageable lists of function names, to greatly reduce "import cycles" and clarify the up-front importing of names, and to remove the need for redundant functions and documentation throughout the expression package.
