All user visible changes to this project will be documented in this file. This project adheres to Semantic Versioning, as described for Rust libraries in RFC #1105 For any named minimal supported Rust version we guarantee that it is possible to build Diesel with the default features enabled using some set of dependencies. Those set of dependencies is not necessarily an up to date version of the specific dependency. We check this by using the unstable -Z minimal-version cargo flag. Increasing the minimal supported Rust version will always be coupled at least with a minor release.

Unreleased

2.2.0 2024-05-31

Added

  • Support [print_schema] except_custom_type_definitions = ["Vector"]. If a custom type matches one element on the list it’s skipped.
  • Added automatic usage of all sqlite rowid aliases when no explicit primary key is defined for print-schema
  • Added a #[dsl::auto_type] attribute macro, allowing to infer type of query fragment functions
  • Added the same type inference on Selectable derives, which allows skipping specifying select_expression_type most of the time, in turn enabling most queries to be written using just a Selectable derive.
  • Added an optional #[diesel(skip_insertion)] field attribute to the Insertable derive macro, allowing fields which map to generated columns to be skipped during insertion.
  • Support for connection instrumentation. This allows to inspect any query run by your application
  • Logging in diesel-cli
  • Support for libsqlite3-sys 0.28
  • Add sqlite-integer-primary-key-is-bigint configuration option, usable with SQLite 3.37 or above, allowing to use BigInt for INTEGER PRIMARY KEY columns in SQLite for tables without the WITHOUT ROWID attribute (SQLite doc).
  • Support for multiple print_schema entry in diesel.toml (e.g. [print_schema.user1]), which allows generating multiple schema.rs files
  • Add support for COPY TO and COPY FROM statements
  • Add support for mapping chrono::Duration to postgresql’s INTERVAL sql type
  • Added serialize_database_to_buffer and deserialize_readonly_database_from_buffer methods in SqliteConnection to support serialization/deserialization of SQLite databases to and from byte buffers.
  • Added SerializedDatabase wrapper type for a serialized database that is dynamically allocated by calling serialize_database_to_buffer. This RAII wrapper deallocates the memory when it goes out of scope with sqlite3_free.

Changed

  • The minimal officially supported rustc version is now 1.78.0
  • Deprecated sql_function! in favour of define_sql_function! which provides compatibility with #[dsl::auto_type]
  • Deserialization error messages now contain information about the field that failed to deserialize

2.1.6 2024-04-19

  • Fix using BoxableExpression with having clauses
  • Fix using numeric expressions with aliased fields
  • Minor documentation fixes

2.1.5 2024-03-15

  • Fix impl SqlOrd postgres > postgres_backend feature flag.
  • Allow Queryable to be used with multiple table names.
  • Fix an inconsistent unit test
  • Fix a clippy lint
  • Fix ./bin/test feature flag calls.

2.1.3 2023-10-05

  • Increased accidently decreased limit around element count in DISTINCT ON and ORDER BY clauses again as that broke existing code

2.1.2 2023-09-25

Fixed

  • Fixed another potential breaking chaneg around queries containing DISTINCT ON and ORDER BY clauses consisting of custom sql expressions (e.g. .nullable())
  • Fixed an issue where #[derive(Selectable)] and #[diesel(check_for_backend)] generates invalid rust code if the struct contains lifetimes/generic types

2.1.1 2023-08-25

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue in diesel-cli that lead to using unquoted table names in one of the internal queries
  • Fixed a bug in diesel print-schema that lead to generating invalid table! macros if both the #[sql_name] and the #[max_length] attribute are present
  • Fixed an issue in diesel-cli that lead to ignoring certain foreign key constraints for postgresql
  • Fixed an crash while using diesel print-schema with really old sqlite versions
  • Fixed an issue where #[diesel(check_for_backend)] ignored #[diesel(deserialize_as)] attributes
  • Fixed several issues with the new #[derive(MultiConnection)] feature
  • Fixed some edge cases in our sqlite timestamp parsing behaviour
  • diesel migration generate --diff-schema now respects table filters as setup for print-schema via diesel.toml
  • Fixed a potential breaking change around queries containing DISTINCT ON and ORDER BY clauses consisting of custom sql expressions (e.g. diesel::dsl::sql)

Added

  • Support for bigdecimal 0.4

2.1.0 2023-05-26

Changed

  • The minimal officially supported rustc version is now 1.65.0

Added

  • Added the custom_type_derives config option to customize the derives for SQL type definitions automatically generated by Diesel CLI.
  • Add a #[derive(MultiConnection)] proc-macro that lets you easily implement diesel::Connection for an enum of connections to different database backends.
  • Added a --diff-schema flag to the diesel migration generate command that generates a migration based on the difference between your database and the provided schema.rs file
  • Add a ON CONFLICT (...) DO UPDATE ... [WHERE ...] conditional clause support for PostgreSQL.
  • Add support for MySQL’s ON DUPLICATE KEY DO UPDATE syntax through the existing upsert functions.
  • Add ability to define multiple columns in a single distinct_on for PostgreSQL, like: .distinct_on((column_a, column_b)).
  • Added column size restrictions to the generated schema.rs file

2.0.4 2023-04-18

Fixed

  • Workaround the missing name resolution in rust-analyzer. This should fix type inference for some diesel queries. (It remains broken for queries containing .filter()/.inner_join()/.left_join(). These require fixes in rust-analyzer itself)
  • Fixed a bug that could lead to inserting null values instead of empty values for custom sqlite types
  • Fixed a bug that could lead to an unexpected panic while providing an out of bounds bind for sql_query in the sqlite backend
  • Fixed some mysql backend specific impl being behind the mysql instead of the mysql_backend feature flag

Added

  • Support for libsqlite3-sys 0.26

diesel_derives 2.0.2 2023-03-13

Fixed

  • Fixing the fallout of a breaking change from quote by not using their internal API

2.0.3 2023-01-24

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug with our transaction manager implementation that caused by marking transactions as broken which could be recovered.
  • Fixed an issue with the combination of BoxableExpression and order clauses

2.0.2 2022-10-11

Fixed

  • Reverted a fix from the 2.0.1 release that breaks valid INSERT … ON CONFLICT queries

2.0.1 2022-10-07

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue with diesel_cli generating incompatible type names for the generate_missing_sql_type_definitions feature on PostgreSQL
  • Fixed an issue how diesel_cli handles sqlite urls while checking if a given database exists
  • Fixed an issue with PgConnection becoming unusable after hitting a database error in certain situations
  • Fixed an issue with diesel generating invalid SQL for certain INSERT … ON CONFLICT queries
  • Fixed diesel_derives generating code that triggers the disabled by default unused_qualifications lint

2.0.0 2022-08-29

Added

  • MysqlConnection::establish is able to initiate an SSL connection while specifying certificate roots. The database URL should contain an ssl_ca parameter with a path pointing to the certificate roots. See docs if desired.

  • MysqlConnection::establish is able to initiate an SSL connection. The database URL should contain ssl_mode parameter with a value of the MySQL client command option --ssl-mode if desired.

  • Connection and SimpleConnection traits are implemented for a broader range of r2d2::PooledConnection<M> types when the r2d2 feature is enabled.

  • Added DatabaseErrorKind::ReadOnlyTransaction to allow applications to handle errors caused by writing when only allowed to read.

  • All expression methods can now be called on expressions of nullable types.

  • Added BoxedSqlQuery. This allows users to do a variable amount of .sql or .bind calls without changing the underlying type.

  • Added .sql to SqlQuery and UncheckedBind to allow appending SQL code to an existing query.

  • The MacAddr SQL type can now be used without enabling the network-address feature.

  • Added support for SQLite’s UPSERT. You can use this feature above SQLite version 3.24.0.

  • Added ability to create custom aggregate functions in SQLite.

  • Multiple aggregate expressions can now appear together in the same select clause. See the upgrade notes for details.

  • ValidGrouping has been added to represent whether an expression is valid for a given group by clause, and whether or not it’s aggregate. It replaces the functionality of NonAggregate. See the upgrade notes for details.

  • It is now possible to inspect the type of values returned from the database in such a way to support constructing a dynamic value depending on this type.

  • Added a without-deprecated feature that unconditionally disables deprecated items. Use this feature flag to verify that none of your dependencies is setting the with-deprecated flag internally.

  • Added support for PostgreSQL’s SIMILAR TO and NOT SIMILAR TO.

  • Added #[diesel(serialize_as)] analogous to #[diesel(deserialize_as)]. This allows customization of the serialization behaviour of Insertable and AsChangeset structs.

  • Added support for GROUP BY clauses

  • Added support for UNION, UNION ALL, INTERSECT, INTERSECT ALL, EXCEPT, EXCEPT ALL clauses

  • Added the error position for PostgreSQL errors

  • Added ability to create custom collation functions in SQLite.

  • Added support for SQLite’s IS and IS NOT.

  • Add support for HAVING clauses.

  • Added support for SQL functions without arguments for SQLite.

  • Diesel CLI will now generate SQL type definitions for SQL types that are not supported by diesel out of the box. It’s possible to disable this behavior via the generate_missing_sql_type_definitions config option.

  • Added an option to #[derive(Insertable)] that let you insert NULL values instead of DEFAULT values for Option<T>

  • Added support for all the derive attributes being inside #[diesel(...)]

  • Added support for RETURNING expressions for Sqlite via the returning_clauses_for_sqlite_3_35 feature

  • Added support for table aliasing via the alias! macro

  • Added support for the usage of slices of references with belonging_to from BelongingToDsl

  • Added support for updating individual array elements UPDATE table SET array_column[1] = true

  • Adds an ipnet-address feature flag, allowing support (de)serializing IP values from the database using types provided by ipnet. This feature may be enabled concurrently with the previously existing network-address feature.

  • We’ve added support for loading values using libpq’s row-by-row mode via the new iterator interface

  • Adds Timestamp, Timestamptz support for appropriate types for time v0.3.9. This feature enables using the time crate as an alternative to chrono.

Removed

  • All previously deprecated items have been removed.
  • Support for uuid version < 0.7.0 has been removed.
  • Support for bigdecimal < 0.0.13 has been removed.
  • Support for pq-sys < 0.4.0 has been removed.
  • Support for mysqlclient-sys < 0.2.5 has been removed.
  • Support for time (0.1) types has been removed.
  • Support for chrono < 0.4.19 has been removed.
  • The minimal supported version of libsqlite3-sys is now 0.17.2.
  • The NonNull trait for sql types has been removed in favour of the new SqlType trait.
  • no_arg_sql_function! has been deprecated without replacement. [sql_function!][sql-function-2-0-0] can now be used for functions with zero arguments. See [the migration guide][2-0-migration] for more details.
  • Support for barrel based migrations has been removed for now. We are happy to add this support back as soon as barrel integrates with our new migration framework.
  • The deprecated bash completions command (diesel bash-completions) has been removed. Use diesel completions <shell> instead.

Changed

  • The minimal officially supported rustc version is now 1.56.0

  • Interacting with a database requires a mutable connection.

  • The way the Backend trait handles its RawValue type has been changed to allow non-references. Users of this type (e.g. code written &DB::RawValue or &<DB as Backend>::RawValue>) should use backend::RawValue<DB> instead. Implementors of Backend should check the relevant section of [the migration guide][guides/migration_guide.html#2-0-0-from-sql].

  • The type metadata for MySQL has been changed to include sign information. If you are implementing HasSqlType for Mysql manually, you may need to adjust your implementation to fully use the new unsigned variants in MysqlType

  • The RawValue types for the Mysql and Postgresql backend where changed from [u8] to distinct opaque types. If you used the concrete RawValue type somewhere you need to change it to mysql::MysqlValue or pg::PgValue.

  • The uuidv07 feature was renamed to uuid, due to the removal of support for older uuid versions

  • Boxed queries (constructed from .into_boxed()) are now Send.

  • The handling of mixed aggregate values is more robust. Invalid queries such as .select(max(id) + other_column) are now correctly rejected, and valid queries such as .select((count_star(), max(other_column))) are now correctly accepted. For more details, see the migration guide.

  • NonAggregate is now a trait alias for ValidGrouping<()> for expressions that are not aggregate. On stable this is a normal trait with a blanket impl, but it should never be implemented directly. With the unstable feature, it will use trait aliases which prevent manual implementations.

    Due to language limitations, we cannot make the new trait alias by itself represent everything it used to, so in some rare cases code changes may be required. See the migration guide for details.

  • Various __NonExhaustive variants in different (error-) enums are replaced with #[non_exhaustive]. If you matched on one of those variants explicitly you need to introduce a wild card match instead.

  • FromSql::from_sql is changed to construct value from non nullable database values. To construct a rust value for nullable values use the new FromSql::from_nullable_sql method instead.

  • Custom sql types are now required to implement the new SqlType trait. Diesel will automatically create implementations of that trait for all types having a #[derive(SqlType)]

  • The workflow for manually implementing support custom types has changed. Implementing FromSqlRow<ST, DB> is not required anymore, as this is now implied by implementing FromSql<ST, DB>. The requirement of implementing Queryable<ST, DB> remains unchanged. For types using #[derive(FromSqlRow)] no changes are required as the derive automatically generates the correct code

  • The structure of our deserialization trait has changed. Loading values from the database requires now that the result type implements FromSqlRow<ST, DB>. Diesel provides wild card implementations for types implementing Queryable<ST, DB> or QueryableByName<DB> so non generic code does not require any change. For generic code you likely need to replace a trait bound on Queryable<ST, DB> with a trait bound on FromSqlRow<ST, DB> and a bound to QueryableByName<DB> with FromSqlRow<Untyped, DB>.

  • CLI flags of only-tables and except-tables are now interpreted as regular expressions. Similarly, only_tabels and except_tables in diesel.toml are treated as regular expressions.

  • Now you can sort column fields by name with the column-sorting option. It can be set to either ordinal_position (default) or name. This ensures stable sorting even if columns are removed and re-added.

  • The Queryable<ST,DB> trait was updated to be made faillible, in order to properly handle cases where you detect a data inconsistency between fields on deserialization (that e.g. was supposed to be made impossible by DB CHECKs). The build function now returns a diesel::deserialize::Result<Self> instead of a Self.

  • TypeMetadata::MetadataLookup is now ?Sized.

  • Multiple implementations of Connection<Backend=Pg> are now possible because of the new PgMetadataLookup trait.

  • For the Pg backend, TypeMetadata::MetadataLookup has changed to dyn PgMetadataLookup.

  • Diesel’s migration framework was rewritten from the ground. Existing migrations continue to be compatible with the rewrite, but code calling into diesel_migrations requires an update. See the migration guide for details.

  • eq_any() now emits a = ANY() expression for the postgresql backend instead of IN()

  • ne_all() now emits a != ALL() expression for the postgresql backend instead of NOT IN()

  • The sqlite backend now uses a single batch insert statement if there are now default values present in the values clause

  • The MySQL connection is using the CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS from now on. This means that updating rows without changing any values will return the number of matched rows (like most other SQL servers do), as opposed to the number of changed rows.

  • The definition of ToSql::to_sql and QueryFragment::walk_ast has changed to allow serializing values without copying the value itself. This is useful for database backends like sqlite where you can directly share a buffer with the database. Beside of the changed signature, existing impls of this trait should remain unchanged in almost all cases.

  • The PIPES_AS_CONCAT sql_mode is no longer set by default. This setting requires a modification to MySQL query parsing that is not supported by certain systems (such as Vitess). If you are using MySQL and executing raw queries with the || operator, you will need to rewrite your queries or set PIPES_AS_CONCAT manually.

Fixed

  • Many types were incorrectly considered non-aggregate when they should not have been. All types in Diesel are now correctly only considered non-aggregate if their parts are.

  • Offset clauses without limit clauses resulted into invalid sql using the mysql or sqlite backend. Both do not support such clauses without a preceding limit clause. For those backend Diesel does now generate a fake limit clause in case no explicit limit clause was given. As consequence of this change generic query code may require additional trait bounds as requested from the compiler. Third party backends are required to explicitly provide QueryFragment impls for LimitOffsetClause<L, O> now.

  • Nullability requirements are now properly enforced for nested joins. Previously, only the rules for the outer-most join were considered. For example, users.left_join(posts).left_join(comments) would allow selecting any columns from posts. That will now fail to compile, and any selections from posts will need to be made explicitly nullable.

  • Diesel CLI will now look for diesel.toml to determine the project root before looking for Cargo.toml.

  • Any relative paths in diesel.toml will now be treated as relative to the project root (the directory containing either diesel.toml or Cargo.toml). They are no longer dependent on the current working directory (for all directories in the same project)

  • The SQLite backend is now configured to interpret URIs. See the SQLite URI documentation for additional details.

  • We’ve refactored our type translation layer for Mysql to handle more types now.

  • We’ve refactored our type level representation of nullable values. This allowed us to fix multiple long standing bugs regarding the correct handling of nullable values in some corner cases (#104, #2274)

  • Parenthesis are now inserted around all infix operations provided by diesel’s ExpressionMethods traits

  • Queries containing a distinct on clause check now on compile time that a compatible order clause was set.

  • Implementations of custom SQLite SQL functions now check for panics

  • diesel print-schema now generates Array<Nullable<ST>> rather than Array<ST> for Postgres Array types. Existence of NULL values in database arrays would previously result in deserialization errors. Non-nullable arrays are now opt in (by schema patching).

Deprecated

  • All the diesel derive attributes that are not inside #[diesel(...)]

  • diesel_(prefix|postfix|infix)_operator! have been deprecated. These macros are now available without the diesel_ prefix. With Rust 2018 they can be invoked as diesel::infix_operator! instead.

  • diesel::pg::upsert has been deprecated to support upsert queries on more than one backend. Please use diesel::upsert instead.

  • diesel::dsl::any and diesel::dsl::all are now deprecated in favour of ExpressionMethods::eq_any() and ExpressionMethods::ne_all()

1.4.8 - 2021-09-20

Fixed

  • Fixed a incompatibly between diesel and diesel_migrations when building both crates with cargos new resolver = "2" enabled. This change ensures compatibility with the upcomming 2021 rust edition.

1.4.7 - 2021-06-08

Fixed

  • Updated libsqlite3-sys to allow version 0.22
  • Updated ipnetwork to allow version 0.18

1.4.6 - 2021-03-05

Fixed

  • Fixed a use-after-free issue in the QueryableByName implementation of our Sqlite backend
  • Updated several dependencies

1.4.5 - 2020-06-09

Fixed

  • Update several dependencies
  • Fixed an issue where transactions that would fail to commit would leave the connection in a broken non-committed non-rolled-back state.
  • Fix a bug that result in leaking sockets/file descriptors on failed connection attempts for postgresql
  • Fix an incompatibility with newer libmysqlclient versions
  • Remove some potential harmful usages of mem::uninitialized

1.4.4 - 2020-03-22

Fixed

  • Update several dependencies
  • Fixed a bug with printing embeded migrations

1.4.3 - 2019-10-11

Fixed

  • Updated several dependencies
  • Fixed an issue where the postgresql backend exploits implementation defined behaviour
  • Fixed issue where rustdoc failed to build the documentation
  • diesel_derives and diesel_migrations are updated to syn 1.0

1.4.2 - 2019-03-19

Fixed

  • Parenthesis are now inserted around all mathematical operations. This means that (2.into_sql() + 3) * 4 will correctly evaluate to 20 as expected. Previously we would generate SQL that evaluated to 14. This could even result in runtime errors if multiple types were involved (for example, interval * (integer + 1))

1.4.1 - 2019-01-24

Fixed

  • This release fixes a minor memory safety issue in SQLite. This bug would only occur in an error handling branch that should never occur in practice.

1.4.0 - 2019-01-20

Fixed

  • embed_migrations! will no longer emit an unused import warning
  • Diesel now supports uuid 0.7 by adding the new feature flag uuidv07

Added

  • Diesel CLI can be configured to error if a command would result in changes to your schema file by passing --locked-schema. This is intended for use in CI and production deploys, to ensure that the committed schema file is up to date.

  • A helper trait has been added for implementing ToSql for PG composite types. See WriteTuple for details.

  • Added support for MySQL’s UNSIGNED TINYINT

  • DatabaseErrorKind::SerializationFailure has been added, corresponding to SQLSTATE code 40001 (A SERIALIZABLE isolation level transaction failed to commit due to a read/write dependency on another transaction). This error is currently only detected on PostgreSQL.

  • Diesel CLI can now generate completions for zsh and fish. See diesel completions --help for details.

  • #[belongs_to] can now accept types that are generic over lifetimes (for example, if one of the fields has the type Cow<'a, str>). To define an association to such a type, write #[belongs_to(parent = "User<'_>")]

  • Nullable<Text> now supports ilike expression on in PostgreSQL.

  • diesel_manage_updated_at('table_name') is now available on SQLite. This function can be called in your migrations to create a trigger which automatically sets the updated_at column, unless that column was updated in the query.

Changed

  • Diesel’s derives now require that extern crate diesel; be at your crate root (e.g. src/lib.rs or src/main.rs)

  • Tinyint has been renamed to TinyInt and an alias has been created from Tinyint to TinyInt.

  • The minimal officially supported rustc version is now 1.31.0

1.3.3 - 2018-09-12

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue that occurred with MySQL 8.0 when calling .execute or .batch_execute with a single query that returned a result set (such as our SELECT 1 health check in r2d2).

1.3.2 - 2018-06-13

Fixed

  • The behavior of unsigned types in MySQL has been corrected to properly set the is_unsigned flag.

  • Fixed an issue with sql_function! when #[sql_name] was used on functions with no return type.

1.3.1 - 2018-05-23

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue with Diesel CLI’s use of temp files that caused errors on Windows.

1.3.0 - 2018-05-22

Added

  • Diesel CLI now supports a configuration file. See diesel.rs/guides/configuring-diesel-cli for details.

  • sql_function! now supports generic functions. See the documentation for sql_function! for more details.

  • sql_function! now supports aggregate functions like sum and max, by annotating them with #[aggregate]. This skips the implementation of NonAggregate for your function. See the documentation for sql_function! for more details.

  • sql_function! now supports renaming the function by annotating it with #[sql_name = "SOME_FUNCTION"]. This can be used to support functions with multiple signatures such as coalesce, by defining multiple rust functions (with different names) that have the same #[sql_name].

  • Added sqlite-bundled feature to diesel_cli to make installing on some platforms easier.

  • Custom SQL functions can now be used with SQLite. See the docs for details.

  • All functions and operators provided by Diesel can now be used with numeric operators if the SQL type supports it.

  • PgInterval can now be used with -, *, and /.

  • Vec<T> is now Insertable. It is no longer required to always place an & in front of .values.

  • Added support for PG tuples. See sql_types::Record for details.

  • Added support for a wider range of locking clauses, including FOR SHARE, SKIP LOCKED, NO WAIT, and more. See QueryDsl for details.

Changed

  • sql_function! has been redesigned. The syntax is now sql_function!(fn lower(x: Text) -> Text);. The output of the new syntax is slightly different than what was generated in the past. See the documentation for sql_function! for more details.
  • Diesel’s minimum supported Rust version is 1.24.0. This was already true, but it is now tested and enforced. Any future changes to our minimum supported version will be listed in this change log.

Fixed

  • diesel print-schema and infer_schema! now properly handle unsigned types in MySQL

Deprecated

  • diesel_infer_schema has been deprecated. diesel print-schema is now the only way to generate database schema. Diesel CLI can be configured to automatically regenerate your schema file when migrations are run. See diesel.rs/guides/configuring-diesel-cli for details.

  • Uses of sql_function! in the form sql_function!(foo, foo_t, (x: Integer)) have been deprecated in favor of a new design (listed above). Note: Due to a bug in Rust, you may not see a deprecation warning from usage of the old form. As always, if you’re concerned about relying on deprecated code, we recommend attempting to build your app with default-features turned off (specifically excluding the with-deprecated feature).

  • The --whitelist and --blacklist options to diesel print-schema have been deprecated and renamed --only-tables and --exclude-tables.

1.2.2 - 2018-04-12

Changed

  • Warnings are now allowed inside the crate. The way we had attempted to deprecate old feature names caused builds to break. We are still not happy with how this deprecation gets communicated, and will revisit it in the future.

1.2.1 - 2018-04-11

Changed

  • Renamed x32-column-tables, x64-column-tables, and x128-column-tables to 32-column-tables, 64-column-tables, and 128-column-tables. The leading x was due to a bug in crates.io discovered while publishing 1.2.0. The bug has since been fixed.

1.2.0 - 2018-04-06

Added

  • Added SqlLiteral::bind(). This is intended to be used for binding values to small SQL fragments. Use sql_query if you are writing full queries.

  • Added support for INSERT INTO table (...) SELECT ... queries. Tables, select select statements, and boxed select statements can now be used just like any other Insertable value.

  • Any insert query written as insert_into(table).values(values) can now be written as values.insert_into(table). This is particularly useful when inserting from a select statement, as select statements tend to span multiple lines.

  • Diesel’s derives can now produce improved error messages if you are using a nightly compiler, and enable the unstable feature. For the best errors, you should also set RUSTFLAGS="--cfg procmacro2_semver_exempt".

  • Added support for specifying ISOLATION LEVEL, DEFERRABLE, and READ ONLY on PG transactions. See PgConnection::build_transaction for details.

  • Tables with more than 56 columns are now supported by enabling the 128-column-tables feature.

  • Delete statements can now be boxed. This is useful for conditionally modifying the where clause of a delete statement. See DeleteStatement::into_boxed for details.

  • Update statements can now be boxed. This is useful for conditionally modifying the where clause of a update statement. See UpdateStatement::into_boxed for details.

  • Added order_by as an alias for order.

  • Added then_order_by, which appends to an ORDER BY clause rather than replacing it. This is useful with boxed queries to dynamically construct an order by clause containing an unknown number of columns.

  • #[derive(Insertable)] can now work on structs with fields that implement Insertable (meaning one field can map to more than one column). Add #[diesel(embed)] to the field to enable this behavior.

  • Queries that treat a subselect as a single value (e.g. foo = (subselect)) are now supported by calling .single_value().

  • #[derive(Insertable)] implements now Insertable also on the struct itself, not only on references to the struct

  • ConnectionError now implements PartialEq.

  • Columns generated by table! now implement Default

  • #[derive(AsChangeset)] now implements AsChangeset on the struct itself, and not only on a reference to the struct

  • Added support for deserializing Numeric into BigDecimal on SQLite. SQLite has no arbitrary precision type, so the result will still have floating point rounding issues. This is primarily to support things like avg(int_col), which we define as returning Numeric

Changed

  • The bounds on impl ToSql for Cow<'a, T> have been loosened to no longer require that T::Owned: ToSql.

  • 32-column-tables are now enabled by default.

Deprecated

  • ne_any has been renamed to ne_all.

  • The large-tables feature has been has been renamed to 32-column-tables.

  • The huge-tables feature has been renamed to 64-column-tables.

  • IncompleteUpdateStatement has been removed. Use UpdateStatement instead.

Fixed

  • diesel database setup now correctly handles database URLs containing query strings

  • diesel migration list shows the proper migration order when mixing old and new timestamp formats. (The migrations were always run in the correct order, this only affects the display logic of migration list)

  • #[derive(Identifiable)] now correctly associates #[primary_key] with the column name, not field name.

  • Select statements can no longer incorrectly appear in an expression context.

  • exists can no longer incorrectly receive values other than select statements.

  • MysqlConnection::establish can now properly handle IPv6 addresses wrapped in square brackets.

Jokes

  • Diesel is now powered by the blockchain because it’s 2018.

1.1.2 - 2018-04-05

  • No changes

1.1.1 - 2018-01-16

Added

  • Added diesel::r2d2::PoolError as an alias for r2d2::Error. Previously this type was inaccessible due to diesel::r2d2::Error.

1.1.0 - 2018-01-15

Added

  • r2d2-diesel has been merged into Diesel proper. You should no longer rely directly on r2d2-diesel or r2d2. The functionality of both is exposed from diesel::r2d2.

  • r2d2::PooledConnection now implements Connection. This means that you should no longer need to write &*connection when using r2d2.

  • The BINARY column type name is now supported for SQLite.

  • The QueryId trait can now be derived.

  • FromSqlRow can now be derived for types which implement FromSql.

  • AsExpression can now be derived for types which implement ToSql.

  • HasSqlType, NotNull, and SingleValue can now be derived with #[derive(SqlType)]. See the docs for those traits for more information.

  • The return type of FromSql, FromSqlRow, and QueryableByName can now be written as deserialize::Result<Self>.

  • The return type of ToSql can now be written as serialize::Result.

  • Added support for SQLite’s INSERT OR IGNORE and MySQL’s INSERT IGNORE via the insert_or_ignore function.

  • min and max can now be used with array expressions.

  • Added diesel::dsl::array, which corresponds to a PG ARRAY[] literal.

  • Added the not_none! macro, used by implementations of FromSql which do not expect NULL.

  • Added result::UnexpectedNullError, an Error type indicating that an unexpected NULL was received during deserialization.

  • Added .or_filter, which behaves identically to .filter, but using OR instead of AND.

  • helper_types now contains a type for every method defined in expression_methods, and every function in dsl.

  • Added FromSql impls for *const str and *const [u8] everywhere that String and Vec are supported. These impls do not allocate, and are intended for use by other impls which need to parse a string or bytes, and don’t want to allocate. These impls should never be used outside of another FromSql impl.

Deprecated

  • IMPORTANT NOTE Due to several bugs in Rust, many of the deprecations in this release may not show a warning. If you want to ensure you are not using any deprecated items, we recommend attempting to compile your code without the with-deprecated feature by adding default-features = false to Cargo.toml.

  • Deprecated impl_query_id! in favor of #[derive(QueryId)]

  • Deprecated specifying a column name as #[column_name(foo)]. #[column_name = "foo"] should be used instead.

  • The types module has been deprecated. It has been split into sql_types, serialize, and deserialize.

  • query_source::Queryable and query_source::QueryableByName have been deprecated. These traits have been moved to deserialize.

  • backend::TypeMetadata has been deprecated. It has been moved to sql_types.

  • types::ToSqlOutput has been deprecated. It has been renamed to serialize::Output.

  • helper_types::Not is now helper_types::not

Fixed

  • infer_schema! generates valid code when run against a database with no tables.

1.0.0 - 2018-01-02

Added

  • #[derive(QueryableByName)] can now handle structs that have no associated table. If the #[table_name] annotation is left off, you must annotate each field with #[sql_type = "Integer"]

  • #[derive(QueryableByName)] can now handle embedding other structs. To have a field whose type is a struct which implements QueryableByName, rather than a single column in the query, add the annotation #[diesel(embed)]

  • The QueryDsl trait encompasses the majority of the traits that were previously in the query_dsl module.

Fixed

  • Executing select statements on SQLite will no longer panic when the database returns SQLITE_BUSY

  • table!s which use the Datetime type with MySQL will now compile correctly, even without the chrono feature enabled.

  • #[derive(QueryableByName)] will now compile correctly when there is a shadowed Result type in scope.

  • BoxableExpression can now be used with types that are not 'static

Changed

  • Connection::test_transaction now requires that the error returned implement Debug.

  • query_builder::insert_statement::InsertStatement is now accessed as query_builder::InsertStatement

  • query_builder::insert_statement::UndecoratedInsertRecord is now accessed as query_builder::UndecoratedInsertRecord

  • #[derive(QueryableByName)] now requires that the table name be explicitly stated.

  • Most of the traits in query_dsl have been moved to query_dsl::methods. These traits are no longer exported in prelude. This should not affect most apps, as the behavior of these traits is provided by QueryDsl. However, if you were using these traits in where clauses for generic code, you will need to explicitly do use diesel::query_dsl::methods::WhateverDsl. You may also need to use UFCS in these cases.

  • If you have a type which implemented QueryFragment or Query, which you intended to be able to call execute or load on, you will need to manually implement RunQueryDsl for that type. The trait should be unconditionally implemented (no where clause beyond what your type requires), and the body should be empty.

Removed

  • All deprecated items have been removed.

  • LoadDsl and FirstDsl have been removed. Their functionality now lives in LoadQuery.

0.99.1 - 2017-12-01

Changed

  • Diesel CLI now properly restricts its clap dependency. 0.99.0 mistakenly had no upper bound on the version.

0.99.0 - 2017-11-28

Added

  • The .for_update() method has been added to select statements, allowing construction of SELECT ... FOR UPDATE.

  • Added insert_into(table).default_values() as a replacement for insert_default_values()

  • Added insert_into(table).values(values) as a replacement for insert(values).into(table).

  • Added support for MySQL’s REPLACE INTO as replace_into(table).

  • Added replace_into(table).values(values) as a replacement for insert_or_replace(values).into(table).

  • Added on_conflict_do_nothing on InsertStatement as a replacement for on_conflict_do_nothing on Insertable structs.

  • Added on_conflict on InsertStatement as a replacement for on_conflict on Insertable structs.

  • filter can now be called on update and delete statements. This means that instead of update(users.filter(...)) you can write update(users).filter(...). This allows line breaks to more naturally be introduced.

  • Subselects can now reference columns from the outer table. For example, users.filter(exists(posts.filter(user_id.eq(users::id)))) will now compile.

  • TextExpressionMethods is now implemented for expressions of type Nullable<Text> as well as Text.

  • allow_tables_to_appear_in_same_query! can now take more than 2 tables, and is the same as invoking it separately for every combination of those tables.

  • Added sql_query, a new API for dropping to raw SQL that is more pleasant to use than sql for complete queries. The main difference from sql is that you do not need to state the return type, and data is loaded from the query by name rather than by index.

  • Added a way to rename a table in the table! macro with #[sql_name="the_table_name"]

  • Added support for PostgreSQL’s DISTINCT ON. See .distinct_on() for more details

Changed

  • The signatures of QueryId, Column, and FromSqlRow have all changed to use associated constants where appropriate.

  • You will now need to invoke allow_tables_to_appear_in_same_query! any time two tables appear together in the same query, even if there is a joinable! invocation for those tables.

  • diesel_codegen should no longer explicitly be used as a dependency. Unless you are using infer_schema! or embed_migrations!, you can simply remove it from your Cargo.toml. All other functionality is now provided by diesel itself.

  • Code using infer_schema! or infer_table_from_schema! must now add diesel_infer_schema to Cargo.toml, and #[macro_use] extern crate diesel_infer_schema to src/lib.rs

  • Code using embed_migrations! must now add diesel_migrations to Cargo.toml, and #[macro_use] extern crate diesel_migrations to src/lib.rs

  • The migrations module has been moved out of diesel and into diesel_migrations

Deprecated

  • Deprecated insert_default_values() in favor of insert_into(table).default_values()

  • Deprecated insert(values).into(table) in favor of insert_into(table).values(values).

  • Deprecated insert_or_replace(values).into(table) in favor of replace_into(table).values(values).

  • Deprecated .values(x.on_conflict_do_nothing()) in favor of .values(x).on_conflict_do_nothing()

  • Deprecated .values(x.on_conflict(y, do_nothing())) in favor of .values(x).on_conflict(y).do_nothing()

  • Deprecated .values(x.on_conflict(y, do_update().set(z))) in favor of .values(x).on_conflict(y).do_update().set(z)

  • Deprecated enable_multi_table_joins in favor of allow_tables_to_appear_in_same_query!

  • Deprecated SqlLiteral#bind. sql is intended for use with small fragments of SQL, not complete queries. Writing bind parameters in raw SQL when you are not writing the whole query is error-prone. Use sql_query if you need raw SQL with bind parameters.

Removed

  • IntoInsertStatement and BatchInsertStatement have been removed. It’s unlikely that your application is using these types, but InsertStatement is now the only “insert statement” type.

  • Citext as a type alias for Text has been removed. Writing citext_column.eq("foo") would perform a case-sensitive comparison. More fleshed out support will be required.

Fixed

  • When using MySQL and SQLite, dates which cannot be represented by chrono (such as 0000-00-00) will now properly return an error instead of panicking.

  • MySQL URLs will now properly percent decode the username and password.

  • References to types other than str and slice can now appear on structs which derive Insertable or AsChangeset.

  • Deserializing a date/time/timestamp column into a chrono type on SQLite will now handle any value that is in a format documented as valid for SQLite’s strftime function except for the string 'now'.

0.16.0 - 2017-08-24

Added

  • Added helper types for inner join and left outer join

  • diesel::debug_query has been added as a replacement for debug_sql!. This function differs from the macro by allowing you to specify the backend, and will generate the actual query which will be run. The returned value will implement Display and Debug to show the query in different ways

  • diesel::pg::PgConnection, diesel::mysql::MysqlConnection, and diesel::sqlite::SqliteConnection are now exported from diesel::prelude. You should no longer need to import these types explicitly.

  • Added support for the Decimal datatype on MySQL, using the BigDecimal crate.

  • Added support for the Range type on postgreSQL.

  • Added support for the Datetime type on MySQL.

  • Added support for the Blob type on MySQL.

  • infer_schema! will now automatically detect which tables can be joined based on the presence of foreign key constraints.

  • Added support for Add and Sub to timestamp types.

  • Added a way to rename columns in the table macro with #[sql_name="the_column_name"]

  • Schema inference now also generates documentation comments for tables and columns. For infer_schema!, this is enabled by default. If you are using Diesel’s CLI tool, pass the new --with-docs parameter: diesel print-schema --with-docs.

  • infer_schema! now automatically renames columns that conflict with a Rust keyword by placing a _ at the end of the name. For example, a column called type will be referenced as type_ in Rust.

Changed

  • The deprecated debug_sql! and print_sql! functions will now generate backend specific SQL. (The specific backend they will generate for will be arbitrarily chosen based on the backends enabled).

  • #[belongs_to] will no longer generate the code required to join between two tables. You will need to explicitly invoke joinable! instead, unless you are using infer_schema!

  • Changed the migration directory name format to %Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S.

  • between and not_between now take two arguments, rather than a range.

Removed

  • debug_sql! has been deprecated in favor of diesel::debug_query.

  • print_sql! has been deprecated without replacement.

  • diesel::backend::Debug has been removed.

Fixed

  • Diesel now properly supports joins in the form: grandchild.join(child.join(parent)). Previously only parent.join(child.join(grandchild)) would compile.

  • When encoding a BigDecimal on PG, 1.0 is no longer encoded as if it were 1.

0.15.2 - 2017-07-28

Fixed

  • BigDecimal now properly encodes numbers starting with 10000 on postgres. See issue #1044 for details.

0.15.1 - 2017-07-24

  • No changes to public API

0.15.0 - 2017-07-23

Added

  • Added support for the PG IS DISTINCT FROM operator

  • The ON clause of a join can now be manually specified. See the docs for details.

Changed

  • Diesel will now automatically invoke numeric_expr! for your columns in the common cases. You will likely need to delete any manual invocations of this macro.

  • Insertable no longer treats all fields as nullable for type checking. What this means for you is that if you had an impl like impl AsExpression<Nullable<SqlType>, DB> for CustomType in your code base, you can remove the Nullable portion (Unless you are using it with fields that are actually nullable)

  • Connections will now explicitly set the session time zone to UTC when the connection is established

0.14.1 - 2017-07-10

Changed

  • The return type of sum and avg is now always considered to be Nullable, as these functions return NULL when against on an empty table.

0.14.0 - 2017-07-04

Added

  • Added support for joining between more than two tables. The query builder can now be used to join between any number of tables in a single query. See the documentation for JoinDsl for details
  • Added diesel_prefix_operator! which behaves identically to diesel_postfix_operator! (previously postfix_predicate!), but for operators like NOT which use prefix notation.

Changed

  • infix_predicate! and infix_expression! have been renamed to diesel_infix_operator!.

  • postfix_predicate! and postfix_expression! have been renamed to diesel_postfix_operator!.

  • Trait bounds along the lines of T: LoadDsl<Conn>, U: Queryable<T::SqlType, Conn::Backend> should be changed to T: LoadQuery<Conn, U>.

  • Diesel now uses a migration to set up its timestamp helpers. To generate this migration for your project, run diesel database setup.

Removed

  • #[has_many] has been removed. Its functionality is now provided by #[belongs_to] on the child struct. If there is no child struct to put #[belongs_to] on, you can invoke joinable! directly instead.

0.13.0 - 2017-05-15

Added

  • Added support for chrono types with SQLite.

  • Bind values can now be supplied to queries constructed using raw SQL. See the docs for more details.

  • Added support for ILIKE in PostgreSQL.

  • diesel migration list will show all migrations, marking those that have been run.

  • diesel migration pending will list any migrations which have not been run.

  • Added support for numeric operations with nullable types.

  • Added migrations::any_pending_migrations.

Fixed

  • Diesel CLI now respects the --migration-dir argument or the MIGRATION_DIRECTORY environment variable for all commands.

  • Diesel CLI now properly escapes the database name.

0.12.1 - 2017-05-07

Changed

  • Locked the chrono dependency to require exactly 0.3.0 instead of a semver restriction. This restriction is required for the 0.12 line of releases to continue compiling, as the chrono project is including breaking changes in patch releases.

0.12.0 - 2017-03-16

Added

  • Added support for the majority of PG upsert (INSERT ON CONFLICT). We now support specifying the constraint, as well as DO UPDATE in addition to DO NOTHING. See the module docs for details.

  • Diesel CLI: Added db as an alias for database, so you can now write diesel db setup (which is almost 40% faster!).

  • The table! macro now allows you to use types from crates outside of Diesel. You can specify where types should be imported from by doing: table! { use some_modules::*; foo { columns... }. Not specifying any any modules is equivalent to use diesel::types::*;.

Fixed

  • diesel_codegen will provide a more useful error message when it encounters an unsupported type that contains a space in MySQL.

  • #[derive(AsChangeset)] will now respect custom #[primary_key] annotations, and avoid setting those columns.

Removed

  • WithDsl and Aliased have been removed. They were a feature that was actually closer to a cross join than the names implied, and wasn’t fully thought out. The functionality they provided will return as joins are further revamped.

  • The internal use macro select_column_workaround! has been removed. If you were relying on this internal macro, you can simply delete the line that was calling it.

  • Columns from the right side of a left join will now need to have .nullable() explicitly called to be passed to .select. This allows it to compose better with functions that don’t normally take nullable columns (e.g. lower(name).nullable()).

0.11.4 - 2017-02-21

Fixed

  • Corrected a memory safety violation when using MySQL.

0.11.3 - 2017-02-21

  • No changes

0.11.2 - 2017-02-19

Changed

  • pq-sys and mysqlclient-sys will no longer attempt to generate bindings at compile time. Generating the bindings required a bleeding edge version of clang, which caused too many issues.

0.11.1 - 2017-02-17

Fixed

  • .on_conflict_do_nothing() now interacts with slices properly.

  • MysqlConnection now implements Send, which is required for connection pooling.

0.11.0 - 2017-02-16

Added

  • Added support for MySQL as an additional backend. Diesel CLI will install with MySQL support by default. To enable it for Diesel and Diesel Codegen, add features = ["mysql"] to Cargo.toml. See the docs for details.
  • Added support for PG’s ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING clause. See the docs for details.

  • Arrays containing null are now supported. infer_schema! will never infer an array that contains null, but a table! definition which specifies a type of Array<Nullable<X>> can now be deserialized to Vec<Option<T>>

  • #[belongs_to] associations can now be self referential. This will generate the code required for belonging_to, without generating code for performing a join.

  • Added support for the rust-lang-deprecated/time crate on PostgreSQL. To use it, add features = ["deprecated-time"]

Changed

  • It is no longer possible to exhaustively match against result::ConnectionError.

  • Updated chrono to version 0.3.

  • max and min are now always nullable. The database will return NULL when the table is empty.

  • now can now be used as an expression of type Timestamptz.
  • Connection::transaction now returns your error directly instead of wrapping it in TransactionError. It requires that the error implement From<diesel::result::Error>
  • The way tuples of columns from the right side of left outer joins interact with .select has changed. If you are deserializing into an option of a tuple (instead of a tuple of options), you will need to explicitly call .nullable(). (e.g. .select(users::name, (posts::title, posts::body).nullable()))

Removed

  • result::TransactionError
  • result::TransactionResult

0.10.1 - 2017-02-08

Fixed

  • infer_table_from_schema! properly handles table names with a custom schema specified.

Changed

  • Updated uuid to version 0.4.

0.10.0 - 2017-02-02

Added

  • Added support for the PostgreSQL json and jsonb types. They can be mapped to/from serde_json::Value. The serde feature must be enabled to use the JSON types.
  • Added the print-schema command to Diesel CLI. This command will print the output of the infer_schema! macro. For more information run diesel help print-schema.

Changed

  • When possible, we will use deprecation warnings for breaking changes. Deprecated code requires the with-deprecated feature, which is enabled by default.

  • The postgres feature is no longer enabled by default by diesel or diesel_codegen_syntex. Add features = ["postgres"] to your Cargo.toml.

  • The persistable module has been renamed to insertable.

Fixed

  • #[derive(Insertable)] allows fields of type Option<T> to be used with columns that are not null if they have a default value.

Removed

  • diesel_codegen_syntex is no longer supported. diesel_codegen can now be used on stable Rust.

  • Dropped support for Rust 1.14 and earlier

0.9.1 - 2016-12-09

Fixed

  • Added missing impls for loading chrono::NaiveDateTime from a column of type Timestamptz

  • #[derive(AsChangeset)] no longer assumes that use diesel::prelude::* has been done.

  • debug_sql! can now properly be used with types from chrono or std::time.

  • When using PostgreSQL, attempting to get the error message of a query which could not be transmitted to the server (such as a query with greater than 65535 bind parameters) will no longer panic.

0.9.0 - 2016-12-08

Added

  • Added support for SQL NOT IN using the ne_any method.

  • The table! macro now allows custom schemas to be specified. Example:

    table! {
  schema_1.table_1 {
    id -> Integer,
  }
}

    The generated module will still be called table_1.

  • The infer_table_from_schema! macro now allows custom schemas to be specified. Example:

    infer_table_from_schema!("dotenv:DATABASE_URL", "schema_1.table_1");

  • The infer_schema! optionally allows a schema name as the second argument. Any schemas other than public will be wrapped in a module with the same name as the schema. For example, schema_1.table_1 would be referenced as schema_1::table_1.

  • Added support for batch insert on SQLite. This means that you can now pass a slice or vector to diesel::insert on all backends.

  • #[derive(Identifiable)] can be used with structs that have primary keys other than id, as well as structs with composite primary keys. You can now annotate the struct with #[primary_key(nonstandard)] or #[primary_key(foo, bar)].

Changed

  • All macros with the same name as traits we can derive (e.g. Queryable!) have been renamed to impl_Queryable! or similar.

Fixed

  • #[derive(Identifiable)] now works on structs with lifetimes

  • Attempting to insert an empty slice will no longer panic. It does not execute any queries, but the result will indicate that we successfully inserted 0 rows.

  • Attempting to update a record with no changes will no longer generate invalid SQL. The result of attempting to execute the query will still be an error, but but it will be a Error::QueryBuilderError, rather than a database error. This means that it will not abort the current transaction, and can be handled by applications.

  • Calling eq_any or ne_any with an empty array no longer panics. eq_any(vec![]) will return no rows. ne_any(vec![]) will return all rows.

0.8.2 - 2016-11-22

Changed

  • Fixed support for nightlies later than 2016-11-07

  • Removed support for nightlies earlier than 2016-11-07

  • Calls to infer_table_from_schema! will need to be wrapped in a module if called more than once. This change is to work around further limitations of the Macros 1.1 system. Example:

    mod infer_users {
    infer_table_from_schema!("dotenv:DATABASE_URL", "users");
}
pub use self::infer_users::*;

0.8.1 - 2016-11-01

Added

  • SQLite date and time columns can be deserialized to/from strings.

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue with diesel_codegen on nightlies >= 2016-10-20

0.8.0 - 2016-10-10

Added

  • Added partial support for composite primary keys.

  • Added support for PostgreSQL NULLS FIRST and NULLS LAST when sorting. See https://docs.diesel.rs/diesel/prelude/trait.SortExpressionMethods.html for details.

  • Added support for the timestamp with time zone type in PostgreSQL (referred to as diesel::types::Timestamptz)

  • Diesel CLI can now generate bash completion. See the readme for details.

  • infer_schema! and infer_table_from_schema! can now take "env:foo" instead of env!("foo") and "dotenv:foo" instead of dotenv!("foo"). The use of dotenv requires the dotenv feature on diesel_codegen, which is included by default. Using env! and dotenv! will no longer work with diesel_codegen. They continue to work with diesel_codegen_syntex, but that crate will be deprecated when Macros 1.1 is in the beta channel for Rust.

Changed

  • Structs annotated with #[has_many] or #[belongs_to] now require #[derive(Associations)]. This is to allow them to work with Macros 1.1.

  • embed_migrations! now resolves paths relative to Cargo.toml instead of the file the macro was called from. This change is required to allow this macro to work with Macros 1.1.

Fixed

  • diesel migrations run will now respect migration directories overridden by command line argument or environment variable
  • The infer_schema! macro will no longer fetch views alongside with tables. This was a source of trouble for people that had created views or are using any extension that automatically creates views (e.g. PostGIS)

Changed

  • #[changeset_for(foo)] should now be written as #[derive(AsChangeset)] #[table_name="foo"]. If you were specifying treat_none_as_null = "true", you should additionally have #[changeset_options(treat_none_as_null = "true")].
  • #[insertable_into(foo)] should now be written as #[derive(Insertable)] #[table_name="foo"].

0.7.2 - 2016-08-20

  • Updated nightly version and syntex support.

0.7.1 - 2016-08-11

Changed

  • The Copy constraint has been removed from Identifiable::Id, and Identifiable#id now returns &Identifiable::Id.

Fixed

  • #[belongs_to] now respects the foreign_key option when using diesel_codegen or diesel_codegen_syntex.

0.7.0 - 2016-08-01

Added

  • The initial APIs have been added in the form of #[has_many] and #[belongs_to]. See the module documentation for more information.

  • The Insertable! macro can now be used instead of #[insertable_into] for those wishing to avoid syntax extensions from diesel_codegen. See https://docs.diesel.rs/diesel/macro.Insertable!.html for details.

  • The Queryable! macro can now be used instead of #[derive(Queryable)] for those wishing to avoid syntax extensions from diesel_codegen. See https://docs.diesel.rs/diesel/macro.Queryable!.html for details.

  • The Identifiable! macro can now be used instead of #[derive(Identifiable)] for those wishing to avoid syntax extensions from diesel_codegen. See https://docs.diesel.rs/diesel/macro.Identifiable!.html for details.

  • The AsChangeset! macro can now be used instead of #[changeset_for(table)] for those wishing to avoid syntax extensions from diesel_codegen. See https://docs.diesel.rs/diesel/macro.AsChangeset!.html for details.

  • Added support for the PostgreSQL ALL operator. See https://docs.diesel.rs/diesel/pg/expression/dsl/fn.all.html for details.

  • Added support for RETURNING expressions in DELETE statements. Implicitly these queries will use RETURNING *.

Changed

  • Diesel now targets nightly-2016-07-07. Future releases will update to a newer nightly version on the date that Rust releases.

  • diesel_codegen has been split into two crates. diesel_codegen and diesel_codegen_syntex. See this commit for migration information.

  • Most structs that implement Queryable will now also need #[derive(Identifiable)].

  • infer_schema! on SQLite now accepts a larger range of type names

  • types::VarChar is now an alias for types::Text. Most code should be unaffected by this. PG array columns are treated slightly differently, however. If you are using varchar[], you should switch to text[] instead.

  • Struct fields annotated with #[column_name="name"] should be changed to #[column_name(name)].

  • The structure of DatabaseError has changed to hold more information. See https://docs.diesel.rs/diesel/result/enum.Error.html and https://docs.diesel.rs/diesel/result/trait.DatabaseErrorInformation.html for more information

  • Structs which implement Identifiable can now be passed to update and delete. This means you can now write delete(&user).execute(&connection) instead of delete(users.find(user.id)).execute(&connection)

Fixed

  • &&[T] can now be used in queries. This allows using slices with things like #[insertable_into].

0.6.1 2016-04-14

Added

  • Added the escape method to Like and NotLike, to specify the escape character used in the pattern. See EscapeExpressionMethods for details.

Fixed

  • diesel_codegen and diesel_cli now properly rely on Diesel 0.6.0. The restriction to 0.5.0 was an oversight.

  • infer_schema! now properly excludes metadata tables on SQLite.

  • infer_schema! now properly maps types on SQLite.

0.6.0 2016-04-12

Added

  • Queries can now be boxed using the into_boxed() method. This is useful for conditionally modifying queries without changing the type. See BoxedDsl for more details.

  • infer_schema! is now supported for use with SQLite3.

  • The maximum table size can be increased to 52 by enabling the huge-tables feature. This feature will substantially increase compile times.

  • The DISTINCT keyword can now be added to queries via the distinct() method.

  • SqliteConnection now implements Send

Changed

  • diesel::result::Error now implements Send and Sync. This required a change in the return type of ToSql and FromSql to have those bounds as well.

  • It is no longer possible to pass an owned value to diesel::insert. insert will now give a more helpful error message when you accidentally try to pass an owned value instead of a reference.

Fixed

  • #[insertable_into] can now be used with structs that have lifetimes with names other than 'a'.

  • Tables with a single column now properly return a single element tuple. E.g. if the column was of type integer, then users::all_columns is now (id,) and not id.

  • infer_schema! can now work with tables that have a primary key other than id.

Removed

  • Removed the no select option for the table! macro. This was a niche feature that didn’t fit with Diesel’s philosophies. You can write a function that calls select for you if you need this functionality.

0.5.4 2016-03-23

  • Updated diesel_codegen to allow syntex versions up to 0.30.0.

0.5.3 2016-03-12

Added

  • Added helper function diesel_manage_updated_at('TABLE_NAME') to postgres upon database setup. This function sets up a trigger on the specified table that automatically updates the updated_at column to the current_timestamp for each affected row in UPDATE statements.

  • Added support for explicit RETURNING expressions in INSERT and UPDATE queries. Implicitly these queries will still use RETURNING *.

Fixed

  • Updated to work on nightly from early March

0.5.2 2016-02-27

  • Updated to work on nightly from late February

0.5.1 2016-02-11

  • Diesel CLI no longer has a hard dependency on SQLite and PostgreSQL. It assumes both by default, but if you need to install on a system that doesn’t have one or the other, you can install it with cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features postgres or cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features sqlite

0.5.0 2016-02-05

Added

  • Added support for SQLite. Diesel still uses postgres by default. To use SQLite instead, add default-features = false, features = ["sqlite"] to your Cargo.toml. You’ll also want to add default-features = false, features = ["sqlite"] to diesel_codegen. Since SQLite is a much more limited database, it does not support our full set of features. You can use SQLite and PostgreSQL in the same project if you desire.

  • Added support for mapping types::Timestamp, types::Date, and types::Time to/from chrono::NaiveDateTime, chrono::NaiveDate, and chrono::NaiveTime. Add features = ["chrono"] to enable.

  • Added a treat_none_as_null option to changeset_for. When set to true, a model will set a field to Null when an optional struct field is None, instead of skipping the field entirely. The default value of the option is false, as we think the current behavior is a much more common use case.

  • Added Expression#nullable(), to allow comparisons of not null columns with nullable ones when required.

  • Added sum and avg functions.

  • Added the diesel setup, diesel database setup, and diesel database reset commands to the CLI.

  • Added support for SQL IN statements through the eq_any method.

  • Added a top level select function for select statements with no from clause. This is primarily intended to be used for testing Diesel itself, but it has been added to the public API as it will likely be useful for third party crates in the future. select(foo).from(bar) might be a supported API in the future as an alternative to bar.select(foo).

  • Added expression::dsl::sql as a helper function for constructing SqlLiteral nodes. This is primarily intended to be used for testing Diesel itself, but is part of the public API as an escape hatch if our query builder DSL proves inadequate for a specific case. Use of this function in any production code is discouraged as it is inherently unsafe and avoids real type checking.

Changed

  • Moved most of our top level trait exports into a prelude module, and re-exported our CRUD functions from the top level. diesel::query_builder::update and friends are now diesel::update, and you will get them by default if you import diesel::*. For a less aggressive glob, you can import diesel::prelude::*, which will only export our traits.

  • Connection is now a trait instead of a struct. The struct that was previously known as Connection can be found at diesel::pg::PgConnection.

  • Rename both the #[derive(Queriable)] attribute and the Queriable trait to use the correct spelling Queryable.

  • load and get_results now return a Vec<Model> instead of an iterator.

  • Replaced Connection#find(source, id) with source.find(id).first(&connection).

  • The debug_sql! macro now uses ` for identifier quoting, and ? for bind parameters, which is closer to a “generic” backend. The previous behavior had no identifier quoting, and used PG specific bind params.

  • Many user facing types are now generic over the backend. This includes, but is not limited to Queryable and Changeset. This change should not have much impact, as most impls will have been generated by diesel_codegen, and that API has not changed.

  • The mostly internal NativeSqlType has been removed. It now requires a known backend. fn<T> foo() where T: NativeSqlType is now fn<T, DB> foo() where DB: HasSqlType<T>

Removed

  • Connection#query_sql and Connection#query_sql_params have been removed. These methods were not part of the public API, and were only meant to be used for testing Diesel itself. However, they were technically callable from any crate, so the removal has been noted here. Their usage can be replaced with bare select and expression::dsl::sql.

0.4.1 2016-01-11

Changed

  • Diesel CLI will no longer output notices about __diesel_schema_migrations already existing.

  • Relicensed under MIT/Apache dual

0.4.0 2016-01-08

Added

  • Added Diesel CLI, a tool for managing your schema. See the readme for more information.

  • Add the ability for diesel to maintain your schema for you automatically. See the migrations module for individual methods.

  • Add DebugQueryBuilder to build sql without requiring a connection.

  • Add print_sql! and debug_sql! macros to print out and return sql strings from QueryFragments.

Fixed

  • #[changeset_for] can now be used with structs containing a Vec. Fixes #63.

  • No longer generate invalid SQL when an optional update field is not the first field on a changeset. Fixes #68.

  • #[changeset_for] can now be used with structs containing only a single field other than id. Fixes #66.

  • infer_schema! properly works with array columns. Fixes #65.

0.3.0 2015-12-04

Changed

  • #[changeset_for(table)] now treats Option fields as an optional update. Previously a field with None for the value would insert NULL into the database field. It now does not update the field if the value is None.

  • .save_changes (generated by #[changeset_for]) now returns a new struct, rather than mutating self. The returned struct can be any type that implements Queryable for the right SQL type

Fixed

  • #[derive(Queryable)] now allows generic parameters on the struct.

  • Table definitions can now support up to 26 columns. Because this increases our compile time by 3x, features = ["large-tables"] is needed to support table definitions above 16 columns.

Added

  • Quickcheck is now an optional dependency. When features = ["quickcheck"] is added to Cargo.toml, you’ll gain Arbitrary implementations for everything in diesel::data_types.

  • Added support for the SQL MIN function.

  • Added support for the Numeric data type. Since there is no Big Decimal type in the standard library, a dumb struct has been provided which mirrors what Postgres provides, which can be converted into whatever crate you are using.

  • Timestamp columns can now be used with std::time::SystemTime when compiled with --features unstable

  • Implemented Send on Connection (required for R2D2 support)

  • Added infer_schema! and infer_table_from_schema!. Both macros take a database URL, and will invoke table! for you automatically based on the schema. infer_schema! queries for the table names, while infer_table_from_schema! takes a table name as the second argument.

0.2.0 - 2015-11-30

Added

  • Added an execute method to QueryFragment, which is intended to replace Connection#execute_returning_count. The old method still exists for use under the hood, but has been hidden from docs and is not considered public API.

  • Added get_result and get_results, which work similarly to load and first, but are intended to make code read better when working with commands like create and update. In the future, get_result may also check that only a single row was affected.

  • Added insert, which mirrors the pattern of update and delete.

Changed

  • Added a hidden __Nonexhaustive variant to result::Error. This is not intended to be something you can exhaustively match on, but I do want people to be able to check for specific cases, so Box<std::error::Error> is not an option.

  • query_one, find, and first now assume a single row is returned. For cases where you actually expect 0 or 1 rows to be returned, the optional method has been added to the result, in case having a Result<Option<T>> is more idiomatic than checking for Err(NotFound).

Deprecated

  • Connection#insert and Connection#insert_returning_count have been deprecated in favor of insert

0.1.0 - 2015-11-29

  • Initial release
