New Features ↑

  • A pg_auto_parameterize_in_array extension has been added, which handles conversion of IN/NOT IN to = ANY or != ALL for more types. The pg_auto_parameterize extension only handles integer types by default, because other types require the pg_array extension. This new extension adds handling for Float, BigDecimal, Date, Time, DateTime, Sequel::SQLTime, and Sequel::SQL::Blob types. It can also handle String types if the :treat_string_list_as_text_array Database option is present, using the text type for that. Handling String values as text is not the default because that may cause issues for some queries.

Other Improvements ↑

  • The defaults_setter plugin now does a deep copy of database default values that are hash/array or delegates to hash/array. This fixes cases where the database default values are mutated.

  • Sequel now correctly handles infinite and NaN float values used inside PostgreSQL array bound variables.

  • The data in the cache files used by the schema_caching and index_caching extensions and static_cache_cache and pg_auto_constraint_validations plugins are now sorted before the cache file is saved, increasing consistency between runs.

  • bigdecimal has been added as a dependency. bigdecimal is currently a default gem in Ruby from 1.9 to 3.2, but it will move to a bundled gem in Ruby 3.4, and there will be warnings in Ruby 3.3 for cases that will break in Ruby 3.4. Adding bigdecimal as a dependency should avoid warnings when using bundler in Ruby 3.3, and should avoid errors in Ruby 3.4.
