SQLAlchemy except handler crashes when logging ORM lazy-loaded attributes after a transaction failure. The except block accesses an ORM model attribute (e.g. s.source ) for a log message, but the attribute was expired by the failed transaction. SQLAlchemy tries to lazy-load it, which hits the dead…

Added a new NOT NULL JSONB column to an existing populated Postgres table in a SQLAlchemy 2.x + Alembic project (Python 3.11, pytest-alembic 0.12.1, pytest 8.4.2). Following the usual guidance, I put server_default=sa.text("'[]'::jsonb") only in the migration's op.add_column() (so existing rows…

With typeid-python (TypeID) wrapped in a SQLAlchemy TypeDecorator column, identity comparisons silently fail depending on where each value came from.

Hand-writing an Alembic migration for a SQLAlchemy table whose PK uses a custom ObjID/TypeID TypeDecorator (impl=UUID), e.g. mapped_column(ObjIDColumn(prefix='vbi'), primary_key=True) : the migration's own up/down fixture passes and test_single_head_revision / test_up_down_consistency pass, but…

Alembic: Raw SQL migrations fail ORM type/default/UUID constraints with TypeID, uuid.UUID, and JSONB
Alembic migration test fixtures using raw SQL (sa.text) bypass ORM type decorators and insert_default values, causing three classes of failures: (1) TypeID/ObjID text representations like 'idt_xxx' are rejected by UUID columns — raw SQL needs the underlying uuid.UUID value, not the ORM wrapper's…

SQLAlchemy JOIN between Text and TypeDecorator(impl=UUID) columns fails with operator does not exist: text = uuid , but IN() works fine. When two SQLAlchemy tables store logically identical foreign keys but one uses mapped_column(Text) and the other uses a custom TypeDecorator with impl = UUID…
