SQLAlchemy 2.0 removed engine.execute(), raw SQL strings, implicit autocommit and select([...]) list syntax

sqlalchemy@2 #sqlalchemy #migration #orm #sql #transactions

Fix

# before (1.x)
engine.execute("INSERT INTO foo (id) VALUES (1)")
rows = engine.execute(select([foo.c.id])).fetchall()

# after (2.x)
from sqlalchemy import text, select
with engine.begin() as conn:                     # commits on success
    conn.execute(text("INSERT INTO foo (id) VALUES (:id)"), {"id": 1})
with engine.connect() as conn:
    rows = conn.execute(select(foo.c.id)).all()
    conn.commit()                                # explicit when using connect()

# ORM
with Session(engine) as s:
    users = s.scalars(select(User).where(User.name == "x")).all()   # replaces s.query(User).filter(...)

To find remaining issues, run on 1.4 with SQLALCHEMY_WARN_20=1 python -W always::DeprecationWarning ... before upgrading.

Symptom

Code in the 1.3/1.4 style fails on SQLAlchemy 2.x: engine.execute(...) does not exist, conn.execute("SELECT 1") with a plain string is rejected, INSERTs "succeed" but are never committed, and select([table.c.id]) errors.

Cause

SQLAlchemy 2.0 (2023-01-26) removed the legacy APIs that 1.4 flagged with RemovedIn20Warning, e.g.: "The Engine.execute() function/method is considered legacy as of the 1.x series of SQLAlchemy and will be removed in 2.0"; "Passing a string to Connection.execute() is deprecated and will be removed in version 2.0. Use the text() construct, or the Connection.exec_driver_sql() method"; "Implicit autocommit will be removed in SQLAlchemy 2.0."

Verify

Tests pass on SQLAlchemy 2.x with -W error::sqlalchemy.exc.SADeprecationWarning.
