Change
Entityback into a regular record and drop theHasFieldinstance. This is technically a breaking change, but the bug in GHC’sCOMPLETEannotations rendered a super common pattern a much more invasive breaking change than anticipated. As a result, upgrading topersistent-2.14was untenable.If you did upgrade and this broke your codebase again, please let me know and I can release another patch to shim it.
-
2.14.0.0
- #1343
- Implement Type Literal based field definitions
- #1387
- Better UX with
insert. We now report a type error when you try toinsertanEntityor a function, and we also forbidinserting if the database would throw an error missing a primary key.
- Better UX with
- #1383
- Primary keys have a
NonEmptyof fields, not a[]of fields. - A
Primarykey on an entity now creates aUniqueconstructror for that record, with the name#{entityName}PrimaryKey. This also affects the generation ofAtLeastOneUniqueKeyandOnlyOneUniqueKeyinstances, so you may need to change behavior on these classes.
- Primary keys have a
- #1381
Entityis given aHasFieldinstance that uses the database field names. This is primarily done to supportOverloadedRecordDotin GHC 9.2 and above.- A consequence of this is that the
Entityconstructor has been renamed toEntity'. A pattern synonym is provided that should work in almost all cases. You may incur aMonadFail mconstraint if you are pattern matching directly on the constructor in adoresult.
- #1364
- The type
SomePersistFieldwas removed in favor of usingPersistValuedirectly.
- The type
- #1386
- The module
Database.Persist.Class.DeleteCascadewas deleted since you can put cascade behavior directly on your database models. - Removed
mkSavefromDatabase.Persist.TH. UsemkEntityDefListinstead. - Remove the
CompositeDefconstructor fromReferenceDefwhich was not used internally anymore.
- The module
- #1385
- The support for entity-level sum types is deprecated. It adds a considerable amount of complexity to the code, and the pattern is not particularly good for actually supporting sum types in most databases.
- #1384
- Add
tabulateEntityAto thePersistEntityclass, allowing you to construct anEntity aby providing a functionEntityField a t -> f t. Note that this doesn’t make sense for sum entities, and the implementationerrors. - Add
tabulateEntityas a pure version of that.
- Add

mkMigratenow defers tomkEntityDefListandmigrateModelsinstead of fixing the foreign key references itself.mkSavewas deprecated - the function did not fix foreign key references. Please usemkEntityDefListinstead.EntityDefwill now include fields markedMigrationOnlyandSafeToRemove. Beforehand, those were filtered out, andmkMigrateapplied. The functiongetEntityFieldswill only return fields defined on the Haskell type - for all columns, seegetEntityFieldsDatabase.
- #1225
-
The fields and constructor for
SqlBackendare no longer exported by default. They are available from an internal module,Database.Persist.Sql.Types.Internal. Breaking changes fromInternalmodules are not reflected in the major version. This will allow us to release new functionality without breaking your code. It’s recommended to switch to using the smart constructor functions and setter functions that are now exported fromDatabase.Persist.Sqlinstead. -
A new API is available for constructing and using a
SqlBackend, provided inDatabase.Persist.SqlBackend. Instead of using theSqlBackenddirectly, usemkSqlBackendand the datatypeMkSqlBackendArgs. TheMkSqlBackendArgsrecord has the same field names as theSqlBackend, so the translation is easy:- SqlBackend + mkSqlBackend MkSqlBackendArgs { connInsertSql = ... , connCommit = ... , connEscapeFieldName = ... , connEscapeTableName = ... , etc }Some fields were omitted in
MkSqlBackendArgs. These fields are optional - they provide enhanced or backend-specific functionality. For these, use the setter functions likesetConnUpsertSql. -
Previously hidden modules are now exposed under the
Internalnamespace. -
The
connLimitOffsetfunction used to have aBoolparameter. This parameter is unused and has been removed.
-
- #1234
- You can now customize the default implied ID column. See the documentation
in
Database.Persist.ImplicitIdDeffor more details. - Moved the various
Nametypes intoDatabase.Persist.Names - Removed the
hasCompositeKeyfunction. SeehasCompositePrimaryKeyandhasNaturalKeyas replacements. - The
EntityDefconstructor and field labels are not exported by default. Get those fromDatabase.Persist.EntityDef.Internal, but you should migrate to the getters/setters inDatabase.Persist.EntityDefas you can. - Added the
Database.Persist.FieldDefandDatabase.Persist.FieldDef.Internalmodules. - The
PersistSettingstype was made abstract. Please migrate to the getters/setters defined in thatDatabase.Persist.Quasi, or useDatabase.Persist.Quasi.Internalif you don’t mind the possibility of breaking changes. - Add the
runSqlCommandfunction for running arbitrary SQL during migrations. - Add
migrateModelsfunction for a TH-free migration facility.
- You can now customize the default implied ID column. See the documentation
in
- #1253
- Add
discoverEntitiesto discover instances of the class and return their entity definitions.
- Add
- #1250
- The
mpsGenericfunction has been deprecated. If you need this functionality, please comment with your needs on the GitHub issue tracker. We may un-deprecate it, or we may provide a new and better means of facilitating a solution to your problem.
- The
- #1255
mkPersistnow checks to see if an instance already exists forPersistEntityfor the inputs.
- #1256
- The QuasiQuoter has been refactored and improved.
- You can now use
mkPersistWithto pass in a list of pre-existingEntityDefto improve foreign key detection and splitting up models across multiple modules. - The
entityIdfield now returns anEntityIdDef, which specifies what the ID field actually is. This is a move to better support natural keys. - Several types that had lists have been refactored to use nonempty lists to better capture the semantics.
mkDeleteCascadeis deprecated. Please use the Cascade behavior directly on fields.- You can use
Key FooandFooIdinterchangeably in fields. - Support for GHC < 8.4 dropped.

- #1207
- @codygman discovered a bug in issue #1199 where postgres connections were being returned to the
Pool SqlBackendin an inconsistent state. @parsonsmatt debugged the issue and determined that it had something to do with asynchronous exceptions. Declaring it to be “out of his pay grade,” he ripped thepoolToAcquirefunction out and replaced it withData.Pool.withResource, which doesn’t exhibit the bug. Fortunately, this doesn’t affect the public API, and can be a mere bug release. - Removed the functions
unsafeAcquireSqlConnFromPool,acquireASqlConnFromPool, andacquireSqlConnFromPoolWithIsolation. For a replacement, seerunSqlPoolNoTransactionandrunSqlPoolWithHooks.
- @codygman discovered a bug in issue #1199 where postgres connections were being returned to the

- Introduce the
PersistLiteral_constructor, replacing thePersistLiteral,PersistLiteralEscaped, andPersistDbSpecific. - The old constructors are now pattern synonyms. They don’t actually differentiate between the various escaping strategies when consuming them! If you pattern match on multiple of
PersistDbSpecific,PersistLiteral, orPersistLiteralEscaped, then you should use thePersistLiteral_constructor to differentiate between them.

Adds a new constructor,
PersistLiteral ByteStringtoPersistValueto support unescaped SQL literals.- Obviously, this is highly unsafe, and you should never use it with user input.

Database.Persist.Quasi
2.10.5
- Add the
EntityWithPrefixtype to allow users to specify a custom prefix for raw SQL queries. #1018 - Added Acquire based API to

2.10.1
- Added
constraint=attribute to allow users to specify foreign reference constraint names.
2.10.0
- Added two type classes
OnlyOneUniqueKeyandAtLeastOneUniqueKey. These classes are used as constraints on functions that expect a certain amount of unique keys. They are defined automatically as part of thepersistent-template’s generation. #885 - Add the
entityCommentsfield to theEntityDefdatatype, andfieldCommentsfields to theFieldDefdatatype. The QuasiQuoter does not currently know how to add documentation comments to these types, but it can be expanded later. #865 - Expose the
SqlReadTandSqlWriteTconstructors. #887 - Remove deprecated
Connectiontype synonym. Please useSqlBackendinstead. #894 - Remove deprecated
SqlPersisttype synonym. Please useSqlPersistTinstead. #894 - Alter the type of

- Upstream-ed
- Batching enhancements to reduce db round-trips.
- Added
getManyandrepsertManyfor batchedgetandrepsert. - Added
putManywith a default/slow implementation. SqlBackend’s that support native UPSERT should override this for batching enhancements. - Updated
insertEntityManyto replace slow looped usage with batched execution.
- Added
