  • [Ecto.Query] Support preloading subquery sources in from and join
  • [Ecto.Query] Allow map updates with dynamic values in select

  • [Ecto.Repo] Allow Hot Updates on upsert queries in Postgres by removing duplicate fields during replace_all
  • [Ecto.Repo] insert_all supports queries with only source

Bug fixes

  • [Ecto.Query] Ignore query prefix in CTE sources
  • [Ecto.Query] Fix a bug of preload when a through association is used in a join and has a nested separate query preload. Now the association chain is no longer preloaded and we simply preload directly onto the loaded through association.
  • [Ecto.Query] Validate :prefix is a string/binary, warn otherwise
  • [Ecto.Query] Fix inspection when select has map/struct modifiers
  • [Ecto.Query] Disable query cache for values lists

Adapter changes

  • distinct, group_by, order_by and window expressions use the new Ecto.Query.ByExpr struct rather than the old Ecto.Query.QueryExpr struct

Potential incompatibilities

  • [Ecto.ParameterizedType] Parameterized types are now represented internally as {:parameterized, {mod, state}}. While this representation is private, projects may have been relying on it, and therefore they need to adapt accordingly. Use Ecto.ParameterizedType.init/2 to instantiate parameterized types.

v3.10.0 (2023-04-10)

This release contains many improvements to Ecto.Changeset, functions like Ecto.Changeset.changed?/2 and field_missing?/2 will help make your code more expressive. Improvements to association and embed handling will also make it easier to manage more complex forms, especially those embedded within Phoenix.LiveView applications.

On the changeset front, note this release unifies the handling of empty values between cast/4 and validate_required/3. If you were setting :empty_values in the past and you want to preserve this new behaviour throughout, you may want to update your code from this:

Ecto.Changeset.cast(changeset, params, [:field1, :field2], empty_values: ["", []])

to:

empty_values = [[]] ++ Ecto.Changeset.empty_values()
Ecto.Changeset.cast(changeset, params, [:field1, :field2], empty_values: empty_values)

Queries have also been improved to support LIMIT WITH TIES as well as materialized CTEs.

  • [Ecto.Changeset] Allow :empty_values option in cast/4 to include a function which must return true if the value is empty
  • [Ecto.Changeset] cast/4 will by default consider strings made only of whitespace characters to be empty
  • [Ecto.Changeset] Add support for :sort_param and :drop_param on cast_assoc and cast_embed
  • [Ecto.Query] Support materialized option in CTEs
  • [Ecto.Query] Support dynamic field inside json_extract_path

Deprecations

Although Ecto 3.0 is a major bump version, the functionality below emits deprecation warnings to ease the migration process. The functionality below will be removed in future Ecto 3.1+ releases.

  • [Ecto.Changeset] Passing a list of binaries to cast/3 is deprecated, please pass a list of atoms instead
  • [Ecto.Multi] Ecto.Multi.run/3 now receives the repo in which the transaction is executing as the first argument to functions, and the changes so far as the second argument
  • [Ecto.Query] join/5 now expects on: expr as last argument instead of simply expr. This was done in order to properly support the :as, :hints and :prefix options
  • [Ecto.Repo] The :returning option for update_all and delete_all has been deprecated as those statements now support select clauses
  • [Ecto.Repo] Passing :adapter via config is deprecated in favor of passing it on use Ecto.Repo
  • [Ecto.Repo] The :loggers configuration is deprecated in favor of "Telemetry Events"

Backwards incompatible changes

  • [Ecto.DateTime] Ecto.Date, Ecto.Time and Ecto.DateTime were previously deprecated and have now been removed
  • [Ecto.DataType] Ecto.DataType protocol has been removed
  • [Ecto.Migration] Automatically inferred index names may differ in Ecto v3.0 for indexes on complex column names
  • [Ecto.Multi] Ecto.Multi.run/5 now receives the repo in which the transaction is executing as the first argument to functions, and the changes so far as the second argument
  • [Ecto.Query] A join no longer wraps fragment in parentheses. In some cases, such as common table expressions, you will have to explicitly wrap the fragment in parens.
  • [Ecto.Repo] The on_conflict: :replace_all option now will also send fields with default values to the database. If you prefer the old behaviour that only sends the changes in the changeset, you can set it to on_conflict: {:replace, Map.keys(changeset.changes)} (this change is also listed as a bug fix)
  • [Ecto.Repo] The repository operations are no longer called from association callbacks - this behaviour was not guaranteed in previous versions but we are listing as backwards incompatible changes to help with users relying on this behaviour
  • [Ecto.Repo] :pool_timeout is no longer supported in favor of a new queue system described in DBConnection.start_link/2 under "Queue config". For most users, configuring :timeout is enough, as it now includes both queue and query time
  • [Ecto.Schema] :time, :naive_datetime and :utc_datetime no longer keep microseconds information. If you want to keep microseconds, use :time_usec, :naive_datetime_usec, :utc_datetime_usec
  • [Ecto.Schema] The @schema_prefix option now only affects the from/join of where the schema is used and no longer the whole query
  • [Ecto.Schema.Metadata] The source key no longer returns a tuple of the schema_prefix and the table/collection name. It now returns just the table/collection string. You can now access the schema_prefix via the prefix key.
  • [Mix.Ecto] Mix.Ecto.ensure_started/2 has been removed. However, in Ecto 2.2 the Mix.Ecto module was not considered part of the public API and should not have been used but we are listing this for guidance.

Adapter changes

  • [Ecto.Adapter] Split Ecto.Adapter into Ecto.Adapter.Queryable and Ecto.Adapter.Schema to provide more granular repository APIs
  • [Ecto.Adapter] The :sources field in query_meta now contains three elements tuples with {source, schema, prefix} in order to support from/join prefixes (#2572)
  • [Ecto.Adapter] The database types time, utc_datetime and naive_datetime should translate to types with seconds precision while the database types time_usec, utc_datetime_usec and naive_datetime_usec should have microseconds precision (#2291)
  • [Ecto.Adapter] The on_conflict argument for insert and insert_all no longer receives a {:replace_all, list(), atom()} tuple. Instead, it receives a {fields :: [atom()], list(), atom()} where fields is a list of atoms of the fields to be replaced (#2181)
  • [Ecto.Adapter] insert/update/delete now receive both :source and :prefix fields instead of a single :source field with both source and prefix in it (#2490)
  • [Ecto.Adapter.Migration] A new lock_for_migration/4 callback has been added. It is implemented by default by Ecto.Adapters.SQL (#2215)
  • [Ecto.Adapter.Migration] The execute_ddl should now return {:ok, []} to make space for returning notices/hints/warnings in the future (adapters leveraging Ecto.Adapters.SQL do not have to perform any change)
  • [Ecto.Query] The from field in Ecto.Query now returns a Ecto.Query.FromExpr with the :source field, unifying the behaviour in from and join expressions (#2497)
  • [Ecto.Query] Tuple expressions are now supported in queries. For example, where: {p.foo, p.bar} > {p.bar, p.baz} should translate to WHERE (p.foo, p.bar) > (p.bar, p.baz) in SQL databases. Adapters should be changed to handle {:{}, meta, exprs} in the query AST (#2344)
  • [Ecto.Query] Adapters should support the following arithmetic operators in queries +, -, * and / (#2400)
  • [Ecto.Query] Adapters should support filter/2 in queries, as in select: filter(count(p.id), p.public == true) (#2487)
