Hi folks, For anyone interested Oracle 23c was released earlier this month <https://www.oracle.com/news/announcement/oracle-database-23c-free-developer-release-2023-04-03/> .
There are a couple of interesting features but just looking over the changes it looks like it resolves some caveats that Django has to supply workarounds for: - There's now a BOOLEAN datatype (from the tickets I've worked on this is by far the biggest pain point) quoting from the docs: "This enables you to store TRUE and FALSE values in tables and use BOOLEAN expressions in SQL statements." - SELECT now no longer requires a FROM - GROUP BY now supports column aliases & position numbers I realise that we still support older versions of Oracle but perhaps at least there's some potential for fixing issues that couldn't be resolved due to the lack of bools if some version detection was put in place? There may be a few other interesting tidbits related to Django that I've missed. Here are the updates for application developers: https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/23/nfcoa/application-development.html Cheers, David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
