The method is mainly intended for use with UUIDField. For UUIDField we
want to call the field's default even when primary key value is
explicitly set to None to match the behavior of AutoField.
Thanks to Marc Tamlyn and Tim Graham for review.
Several issues resolved here, following from a report that a base_field
of GenericIpAddressField was failing.
We were using get_prep_value instead of get_db_prep_value in ArrayField
which was bypassing any extra modifications to the value being made in
the base field's get_db_prep_value. Changing this broke datetime
support, so the postgres backend has gained the relevant operation
methods to send dates/times/datetimes directly to the db backend instead
of casting them to strings. Similarly, a new database feature has been
added allowing the uuid to be passed directly to the backend, as we do
with timedeltas.
On the other side, psycopg2 expects an Inet() instance for IP address
fields, so we add a value_to_db_ipaddress method to wrap the strings on
postgres. We also have to manually add a database adapter to psycopg2,
as we do not wish to use the built in adapter which would turn
everything into Inet() instances.
Thanks to smclenithan for the report.
It was mainly for MySQL on Python 3, but now the current
recommended MySQL driver for Python 3 (mysqlclient) does support
binary fields, it is unneeded. Refs #20377.
A field for storing periods of time - modeled in Python by timedelta. It
is stored in the native interval data type on PostgreSQL and as a bigint
of microseconds on other backends.
Also includes significant changes to the internals of time related maths
in expressions, including the removal of DateModifierNode.
Thanks to Tim and Josh in particular for reviews.
This seems worthwhile in its own right, but also works around an Oracle
bug (in versions 10 -- 11.1) where the use of Unicode would reset the
date/time formats, causing ORA-01843 errors.
Thanks Trac users CarstenF for the report, jtiai for the initial patch,
and everyone who contributed to the discussion on the ticket.
Previously, saving a model instance to a non-related field (in
particular a FloatField) would silently convert the model to an Integer
(the pk) and save it. This is undesirable behaviour, and likely to cause
confusion so the validatio has been hardened.
Thanks to @PirosB3 for the patch and @jarshwah for the review.
This is the result of Christopher Medrela's 2013 Summer of Code project.
Thanks also to Preston Holmes, Tim Graham, Anssi Kääriäinen, Florian
Apolloner, and Alex Gaynor for review notes along the way.
Also: Fixes #8579, fixes #3055, fixes #19844.
All Promise objects were passed to force_text() deep in ORM query code.
Not only does this make it difficult or impossible for developers to
prevent or alter this behaviour, but it is also wrong for non-text
fields.
This commit changes `Field.get_prep_value()` from a no-op to one that
resolved Promise objects. All subclasses now call super() method first
to ensure that they have a real value to work with.
Thanks to Preston Timmons for the bulk of the work on the patch, especially
updating Django's own test suite to comply with the requirements of the new
runner. Thanks also to Jannis Leidel and Mahdi Yusuf for earlier work on the
patch and the discovery runner.
