Changelog
=========

v10.1.0
------

Changes:

- Breaking: [refactored](https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot/commit/6b0da1e1a2b5d6bdf7b5b918400456422d30a1d4) the way SQL comments are handled. Before at most one comment could be attached to an expression, now multiple comments may be stored in a list.

- Breaking: [refactored](https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot/commit/be332d10404f36b43ea6ece956a73bf451348641) the way properties are represented and parsed. The argument `this` now stores a property's attributes instead of its name.

- New: added structured ParseError properties.

- New: the executor now handles set operations.

- New: sqlglot can [now execute SQL queries](https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot/commit/62d3496e761a4f38dfa61af793062690923dce74) using python objects.

- New: added support for the [Drill dialect](https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot/commit/543eca314546e0bd42f97c354807b4e398ab36ec).

- New: added a `canonicalize` method which leverages existing type information for an expression to apply various transformations to it.

- New: TRIM function support for Snowflake and Bigquery.

- New: added support for SQLite primary key ordering constraints (ASC, DESC).

- New: added support for Redshift DISTKEY / SORTKEY / DISTSTYLE properties.

- New: added support for SET TRANSACTION MySQL statements.

- New: added `null`, `true`, `false` helper methods to avoid using singleton expressions.

- Improvement: allow multiple aggregations in an expression.

- Improvement: execution of left / right joins.

- Improvement: execution of aggregations without the GROUP BY clause.

- Improvement: static query execution (e.g. SELECT 1, SELECT CONCAT('a', 'b') AS x, etc).

- Improvement: include a rule for type inference in the optimizer.

- Improvement: transaction, commit expressions parsed [at finer granularity](https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot/commit/148282e710fd79512bb7d32e6e519d631df8115d).

v10.0.0
------

Changes:

- Breaking: replaced SQLGlot annotations with comments. Now comments can be preserved after transpilation, and they can appear in other places besides SELECT's expressions.

- Breaking: renamed list_get to seq_get.

- Breaking: activated mypy type checking for SQLGlot.

- New: Azure Databricks support.

- New: placeholders can now be replaced in an expression.

- New: null safe equal operator (<=>).

- New: [SET statements](https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot/pull/673) for MySQL.

- New: [SHOW commands](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/show.html) for MySQL.

- New: [FORMAT function](https://www.w3schools.com/sql/func_sqlserver_format.asp) for TSQL.

- New: CROSS APPLY / OUTER APPLY [support](https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot/pull/641) for TSQL.

- New: added formats for TSQL's [DATENAME/DATEPART functions](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/datename-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver16).

- New: added styles for TSQL's [CONVERT function](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/cast-and-convert-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver16).

- Improvement: [refactored the schema](https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot/pull/668) to be more lenient; before it needed to do an exact match of db.table, now it finds table if there are no ambiguities.

- Improvement: allow functions to [inherit](https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot/pull/674) their arguments' types, so that annotating CASE, IF etc. is possible.

- Improvement: allow [joining with same names](https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot/pull/660) in the python executor.

- Improvement: the "using" field can now be set for the [join expression builders](https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot/pull/636).

- Improvement: qualify_columns [now qualifies](https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot/pull/635) only non-alias columns in the having clause.
