BREAKING CHANGES

• when callbacks now automatically scope and group where clauses when an OR combinator is used.

Other Changes

7.9.9

• Fixes for OracleGrammar including table aliases and wrapped subqueries.

7.9.8

• Passed along the options struct to the count method when calling paginate.

7.9.2

• Allow for space-delimited sort directions like column DESC.

• Add helpful message when trying to use a closure with from instead of fromSub.

• value and values now work with column formatters.

• Correctly format RETURNING clauses with column formatters and ignoring table qualifiers.

7.9.1

• Handle multi-word columns in queryRemoveColumns.

7.9.0

• Remove elvis operator due to ACF compatibility issues

7.8.0

• Add support for MONEY and SMALLMONEY data types to SchemaBuilder.

7.7.3

• Fix wrapping of enum types for Postgres.

7.7.2

• Compatibility fix for ACF 2018 and listLast parsing.

• Include current_timestamp default for timestamp columns in SchemaBuilder.

• Ignore table qualifiers for insert and update.

7.7.1

7.6.2

7.6.1

• Avoid duplicate function due to cbORM / Hibernate bugs when used in the same application.

7.6.0

• Split off a private whereBasic method. This is used in Quick to provide extra sql type features.

• Add a clearOrders method. Any already configured orders are cleared. Any orders added after this call will be added as normal.

• selectRaw now can take an array of expressions.

7.5.1

Fixed an issue using column formatters with update and insert.

7.5.0

Using a new preventDuplicateJoins setting in the module settings, qb can detect duplicate joins and ignore them. This is especially useful in a heavily filtered and dynamic query where you may or may not need the join at all or more than one column may need the same join. preventDuplicateJoins defaults to false, so it is opt-in. It may be turned on by default in a future breaking release of qb.

7.4.0

Enhance order by's with more direction options (c767ac8)

You can now use two shortcut methods: orderByAsc and orderByDesc. Additionally, orderBySub or using orderBy with a closure or builder instance will respect the direction argument.

7.3.15

• Fix using whereBetween with query param structs (07c9b72)

7.3.14

• Ignore orders in aggregate queries (39e1338)

7.3.13

• Format with cfformat (dc2a9b6)

7.3.12

• Improve column wrapping with trimming (d98a5cb)

• Prefer the parent query over magic methods when the parent query has the exact method. (f9fd8d1)

7.3.9, 7.3.10, 7.3.11

• Switch to using ForgeBox Storage.

7.3.8

• Allow passing query options in to paginate (cdecfb3)

7.3.7

• Fix for inserting null values directly (1de27a6)

7.3.5, 7.3.6

• Use cfformat for automatic formatting (119e434)

• Add a type to the onMissingMethod exception (90d1093)

7.3.4

• Correctly wrap comments in MySQLGrammar.

7.3.2, 7.3.3

• Publish qb apidocs to Ortus API Docs.

7.3.1

• Fix for null values breaking the new checkIsActuallyNumeric method in QueryUtils.

7.3.0

• Add a parameterLimit public property to SqlServerGrammar. This property is used in Quick to split up eager loading to work around the 2100 param limit of SQL Server.

7.2.0

• Allow a parent query to be set. A parent query will receive any method calls that are not found on the Query Builder instance. This is especially useful for instances like Quick to allow Quick features like scopes to be available inside any closures.

7.1.0

• Lambdas (arrow functions) are now allowed wherever closures are allowed.

• Add an orderByRaw method.

• Allow for fully-qualified column names (table_name.column.name) in the value and values methods.

7.0.0

BREAKING CHANGES

Please see the Migration Guide for more information on these changes.

• Drop support for Lucee 4.5 and Adobe ColdFusion 11.

• MSSQLGrammar renamed to SqlServerGrammar

• Remove variadic parameters support in builder functions like select.

• The defaultGrammar mapping needs to be the full WireBox mapping, including the @qb, if needed.

  • For instance, MSSQLGrammar would become MSSQLGrammar@qb.

  • This will allow for other grammars to be more easily contributed via third party modules.

• The argument names of forPage changed to match the new paginate method.

• Add defaultValue and optional exception throwing to value. (This changed the argument order.)

• All methods that could conceivably take a subquery as well as a value now accept a closure or another builder instance to use as a subquery. (This changed the argument names in some instances.)

Other Changes

• Completely revamped documentation! (You're looking at it right now.)

• Add new flag to toSQL( showBindings = true ) to replace question marks (?) with cfqueryparam-compatible structs for debugging.

• Preserve column case and order when converting a query to an array using the default "array" return format.

• Add a new paginate method to generate a pagination struct alongside the results. This can be customized using a custom PaginationCollector.

• Allow raw values in insert calls.

• Allow default queryExecute options to be configure at a Query Builder level. This also enables custom QueryBuilders a la Hyper.

• Add a whereLike method.

• Allow closures to be used in left and right joins.

• Provide an addUpdate method to programmatically build the SET clause of an update query.

• Add a new chunk method to grab records from the database in small sets.

• Add raw in alterTable segments.

• Add dropAllObjects support for SqlServerGrammar and OracleGrammar to support migrate fresh from cfmigrations.

• Add a renameTable alias for rename.

• Remove default constraints when dropping columns with a default on SqlServerGrammar.

• Add more column types and column helpers to SchemaBuilder, including:

  • datetimeTz

  • lineString

  • nullableTimestamps

  • point

  • polygon

  • softDeletes

  • softDeletesTz

  • timeTz

  • timestamps

  • timestampTz

  • timestampsTz

  • withCurrent

6.4.0

• Allow Expressions (query.raw) in update statements.
