*   Don't call commit/rollback callbacks despite a record isn't saved.

    Fixes #29747.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Fix circular `autosave: true` causes invalid records to be saved.

    Prior to the fix, when there was a circular series of `autosave: true`
    associations, the callback for a `has_many` association was run while
    another instance of the same callback on the same association hadn't
    finished running. When control returned to the first instance of the
    callback, the instance variable had changed, and subsequent associated
    records weren't saved correctly. Specifically, the ID field for the
    `belongs_to` corresponding to the `has_many` was `nil`.

    Fixes #28080.

    *Larry Reid*

*   Raise `ArgumentError` for invalid `:limit` and `:precision` like as other options.

    Before:

    ```ruby
    add_column :items, :attr1, :binary,   size: 10      # => ArgumentError
    add_column :items, :attr2, :decimal,  scale: 10     # => ArgumentError
    add_column :items, :attr3, :integer,  limit: 10     # => ActiveRecordError
    add_column :items, :attr4, :datetime, precision: 10 # => ActiveRecordError
    ```

    After:

    ```ruby
    add_column :items, :attr1, :binary,   size: 10      # => ArgumentError
    add_column :items, :attr2, :decimal,  scale: 10     # => ArgumentError
    add_column :items, :attr3, :integer,  limit: 10     # => ArgumentError
    add_column :items, :attr4, :datetime, precision: 10 # => ArgumentError
    ```

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Association loading isn't to be affected by scoping consistently
    whether preloaded / eager loaded or not, with the exception of `unscoped`.

    Before:

    ```ruby
    Post.where("1=0").scoping do
      Comment.find(1).post                   # => nil
      Comment.preload(:post).find(1).post    # => #<Post id: 1, ...>
      Comment.eager_load(:post).find(1).post # => #<Post id: 1, ...>
    end
    ```

    After:

    ```ruby
    Post.where("1=0").scoping do
      Comment.find(1).post                   # => #<Post id: 1, ...>
      Comment.preload(:post).find(1).post    # => #<Post id: 1, ...>
      Comment.eager_load(:post).find(1).post # => #<Post id: 1, ...>
    end
    ```

    Fixes #34638, #35398.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Add `rails db:prepare` to migrate or setup a database.

    Runs `db:migrate` if the database exists or `db:setup` if it doesn't.

    *Roberto Miranda*

*   Add `after_save_commit` callback as shortcut for `after_commit :hook, on: [ :create, :update ]`.

    *DHH*

*   Assign all attributes before calling `build` to ensure the child record is visible in
    `before_add` and `after_add` callbacks for `has_many :through` associations.

    Fixes #33249.

    *Ryan H. Kerr*

*   Add `ActiveRecord::Relation#extract_associated` for extracting associated records from a relation.

    ```
    account.memberships.extract_associated(:user)
    # => Returns collection of User records
    ```

    *DHH*

*   Add `ActiveRecord::Relation#annotate` for adding SQL comments to its queries.

    For example:

    ```
    Post.where(id: 123).annotate("this is a comment").to_sql
    # SELECT "posts".* FROM "posts" WHERE "posts"."id" = 123 /* this is a comment */
    ```

    This can be useful in instrumentation or other analysis of issued queries.

    *Matt Yoho*

*   Support Optimizer Hints.

    In most databases, a way to control the optimizer is by using optimizer hints,
    which can be specified within individual statements.

    Example (for MySQL):

        Topic.optimizer_hints("MAX_EXECUTION_TIME(50000)", "NO_INDEX_MERGE(topics)")
        # SELECT /*+ MAX_EXECUTION_TIME(50000) NO_INDEX_MERGE(topics) */ `topics`.* FROM `topics`

    Example (for PostgreSQL with pg_hint_plan):

        Topic.optimizer_hints("SeqScan(topics)", "Parallel(topics 8)")
        # SELECT /*+ SeqScan(topics) Parallel(topics 8) */ "topics".* FROM "topics"

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Fix query attribute method on user-defined attribute to be aware of typecasted value.

    For example, the following code no longer return false as casted non-empty string:

    ```
    class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
      attribute :user_defined_text, :text
    end

    Post.new(user_defined_text: "false").user_defined_text? # => true
    ```

    *Yuji Kamijima*

*   Quote empty ranges like other empty enumerables.

    *Patrick Rebsch*

*   Add `insert_all`/`insert_all!`/`upsert_all` methods to `ActiveRecord::Persistence`,
    allowing bulk inserts akin to the bulk updates provided by `update_all` and
    bulk deletes by `delete_all`.

    Supports skipping or upserting duplicates through the `ON CONFLICT` syntax
    for PostgreSQL (9.5+) and SQLite (3.24+) and `ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE` syntax
    for MySQL.

    *Bob Lail*

*   Add `rails db:seed:replant` that truncates tables of each database
    for current environment and loads the seeds.

    *bogdanvlviv*, *DHH*

*   Add `ActiveRecord::Base.connection.truncate` for SQLite3 adapter.

    *bogdanvlviv*

*   Deprecate mismatched collation comparison for uniqueness validator.

    Uniqueness validator will no longer enforce case sensitive comparison in Rails 6.1.
    To continue case sensitive comparison on the case insensitive column,
    pass `case_sensitive: true` option explicitly to the uniqueness validator.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Add `reselect` method. This is a short-hand for `unscope(:select).select(fields)`.

    Fixes #27340.

    *Willian Gustavo Veiga*

*   Add negative scopes for all enum values.

    Example:

        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
          enum status: %i[ drafted active trashed ]
        end

        Post.not_drafted # => where.not(status: :drafted)
        Post.not_active  # => where.not(status: :active)
        Post.not_trashed # => where.not(status: :trashed)

    *DHH*

*   Fix different `count` calculation when using `size` with manual `select` with DISTINCT.

    Fixes #35214.

    *Juani Villarejo*


## Rails 6.0.0.beta3 (March 11, 2019) ##

*   No changes.


## Rails 6.0.0.beta2 (February 25, 2019) ##

*   Fix prepared statements caching to be enabled even when query caching is enabled.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Ensure `update_all` series cares about optimistic locking.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Don't allow `where` with non numeric string matches to 0 values.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Introduce `ActiveRecord::Relation#destroy_by` and `ActiveRecord::Relation#delete_by`.

    `destroy_by` allows relation to find all the records matching the condition and perform
    `destroy_all` on the matched records.

    Example:

        Person.destroy_by(name: 'David')
        Person.destroy_by(name: 'David', rating: 4)

        david = Person.find_by(name: 'David')
        david.posts.destroy_by(id: [1, 2, 3])

    `delete_by` allows relation to find all the records matching the condition and perform
    `delete_all` on the matched records.

    Example:

        Person.delete_by(name: 'David')
        Person.delete_by(name: 'David', rating: 4)

        david = Person.find_by(name: 'David')
        david.posts.delete_by(id: [1, 2, 3])

    *Abhay Nikam*

*   Don't allow `where` with invalid value matches to nil values.

    Fixes #33624.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   SQLite3: Implement `add_foreign_key` and `remove_foreign_key`.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Deprecate using class level querying methods if the receiver scope
    regarded as leaked. Use `klass.unscoped` to avoid the leaking scope.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Allow applications to automatically switch connections.

    Adds a middleware and configuration options that can be used in your
    application to automatically switch between the writing and reading
    database connections.

    `GET` and `HEAD` requests will read from the replica unless there was
    a write in the last 2 seconds, otherwise they will read from the primary.
    Non-get requests will always write to the primary. The middleware accepts
    an argument for a Resolver class and a Operations class where you are able
    to change how the auto-switcher works to be most beneficial for your
    application.

    To use the middleware in your application you can use the following
    configuration options:

    ```
    config.active_record.database_selector = { delay: 2.seconds }
    config.active_record.database_resolver = ActiveRecord::Middleware::DatabaseSelector::Resolver
    config.active_record.database_resolver_context = ActiveRecord::Middleware::DatabaseSelector::Resolver::Session
    ```

    To change the database selection strategy, pass a custom class to the
    configuration options:

    ```
    config.active_record.database_selector = { delay: 10.seconds }
    config.active_record.database_resolver = MyResolver
    config.active_record.database_resolver_context = MyResolver::MyCookies
    ```

    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*

*   MySQL: Support `:size` option to change text and blob size.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Make `t.timestamps` with precision by default.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Change `SQLite3Adapter` to always represent boolean values as integers.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove ability to specify a timestamp name for `#cache_key`.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove deprecated `ActiveRecord::Migrator.migrations_path=`.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Remove deprecated `expand_hash_conditions_for_aggregates`.

    *Rafael Mendonça França*

*   Set polymorphic type column to NULL on `dependent: :nullify` strategy.

    On polymorphic associations both the foreign key and the foreign type columns will be set to NULL.

    *Laerti Papa*

*   Allow permitted instance of `ActionController::Parameters` as argument of `ActiveRecord::Relation#exists?`.

    *Gannon McGibbon*

*   Add support for endless ranges introduces in Ruby 2.6.

    *Greg Navis*

*   Deprecate passing `migrations_paths` to `connection.assume_migrated_upto_version`.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   MySQL: `ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC` create table option by default.

    Since MySQL 5.7.9, the `innodb_default_row_format` option defines the default row
    format for InnoDB tables. The default setting is `DYNAMIC`.
    The row format is required for indexing on `varchar(255)` with `utf8mb4` columns.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Fix join table column quoting with SQLite.

    *Gannon McGibbon*

*   Allow disabling scopes generated by `ActiveRecord.enum`.

    *Alfred Dominic*

*   Ensure that `delete_all` on collection proxy returns affected count.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Reset scope after delete on collection association to clear stale offsets of removed records.

    *Gannon McGibbon*

*   Add the ability to prevent writes to a database for the duration of a block.

    Allows the application to prevent writes to a database. This can be useful when
    you're building out multiple databases and want to make sure you're not sending
    writes when you want a read.

    If `while_preventing_writes` is called and the query is considered a write
    query the database will raise an exception regardless of whether the database
    user is able to write.

    This is not meant to be a catch-all for write queries but rather a way to enforce
    read-only queries without opening a second connection. One purpose of this is to
    catch accidental writes, not all writes.

    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*

*   Allow aliased attributes to be used in `#update_columns` and `#update`.

    *Gannon McGibbon*

*   Allow spaces in postgres table names.

    Fixes issue where "user post" is misinterpreted as "\"user\".\"post\"" when quoting table names with the postgres adapter.

    *Gannon McGibbon*

*   Cached `columns_hash` fields should be excluded from `ResultSet#column_types`.

    PR #34528 addresses the inconsistent behaviour when attribute is defined for an ignored column. The following test
    was passing for SQLite and MySQL, but failed for PostgreSQL:

    ```ruby
    class DeveloperName < ActiveRecord::Type::String
      def deserialize(value)
        "Developer: #{value}"
      end
    end

    class AttributedDeveloper < ActiveRecord::Base
      self.table_name = "developers"

      attribute :name, DeveloperName.new

      self.ignored_columns += ["name"]
    end

    developer = AttributedDeveloper.create
    developer.update_column :name, "name"

    loaded_developer = AttributedDeveloper.where(id: developer.id).select("*").first
    puts loaded_developer.name # should be "Developer: name" but it's just "name"
    ```

    *Dmitry Tsepelev*

*   Make the implicit order column configurable.

    When calling ordered finder methods such as `first` or `last` without an
    explicit order clause, ActiveRecord sorts records by primary key. This can
    result in unpredictable and surprising behaviour when the primary key is
    not an auto-incrementing integer, for example when it's a UUID. This change
    makes it possible to override the column used for implicit ordering such
    that `first` and `last` will return more predictable results.

    Example:

        class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
          self.implicit_order_column = "created_at"
        end

    *Tekin Suleyman*

*   Bump minimum PostgreSQL version to 9.3.

    *Yasuo Honda*

*   Values of enum are frozen, raising an error when attempting to modify them.

    *Emmanuel Byrd*

*   Move `ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid` SQL to error property and include binds as separate error property.

    `ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::AbstractAdapter#translate_exception_class` now requires `binds` to be passed as the last argument.

    `ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::AbstractAdapter#translate_exception` now requires `message`, `sql`, and `binds` to be passed as keyword arguments.

    Subclasses of `ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid` must now provide `sql:` and `binds:` arguments to `super`.

    Example:

    ```
    class MySubclassedError < ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid
      def initialize(message, sql:, binds:)
        super(message, sql: sql, binds: binds)
      end
    end
    ```

    *Gannon McGibbon*

*   Add an `:if_not_exists` option to `create_table`.

    Example:

        create_table :posts, if_not_exists: true do |t|
          t.string :title
        end

    That would execute:

        CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS posts (
          ...
        )

    If the table already exists, `if_not_exists: false` (the default) raises an
    exception whereas `if_not_exists: true` does nothing.

    *fatkodima*, *Stefan Kanev*

*   Defining an Enum as a Hash with blank key, or as an Array with a blank value, now raises an `ArgumentError`.

    *Christophe Maximin*

*   Adds support for multiple databases to `rails db:schema:cache:dump` and `rails db:schema:cache:clear`.

    *Gannon McGibbon*

*   `update_columns` now correctly raises `ActiveModel::MissingAttributeError`
    if the attribute does not exist.

    *Sean Griffin*

*   Add support for hash and URL configs in database hash of `ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to`.

    ````
    User.connected_to(database: { writing: "postgres://foo" }) do
      User.create!(name: "Gannon")
    end

    config = { "adapter" => "sqlite3", "database" => "db/readonly.sqlite3" }
    User.connected_to(database: { reading: config }) do
      User.count
    end
    ````

    *Gannon McGibbon*

*   Support default expression for MySQL.

    MySQL 8.0.13 and higher supports default value to be a function or expression.

    https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/create-table.html

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Support expression indexes for MySQL.

    MySQL 8.0.13 and higher supports functional key parts that index
    expression values rather than column or column prefix values.

    https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/create-index.html

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Fix collection cache key with limit and custom select to avoid ambiguous timestamp column error.

    Fixes #33056.

    *Federico Martinez*

*   Add basic API for connection switching to support multiple databases.

    1) Adds a `connects_to` method for models to connect to multiple databases. Example:

    ```
    class AnimalsModel < ApplicationRecord
      self.abstract_class = true

      connects_to database: { writing: :animals_primary, reading: :animals_replica }
    end

    class Dog < AnimalsModel
      # connected to both the animals_primary db for writing and the animals_replica for reading
    end
    ```

    2) Adds a `connected_to` block method for switching connection roles or connecting to
    a database that the model didn't connect to. Connecting to the database in this block is
    useful when you have another defined connection, for example `slow_replica` that you don't
    want to connect to by default but need in the console, or a specific code block.

    ```
    ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to(role: :reading) do
      Dog.first # finds dog from replica connected to AnimalsBase
      Book.first # doesn't have a reading connection, will raise an error
    end
    ```

    ```
    ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to(database: :slow_replica) do
      SlowReplicaModel.first # if the db config has a slow_replica configuration this will be used to do the lookup, otherwise this will throw an exception
    end
    ```

    *Eileen M. Uchitelle*

*   Enum raises on invalid definition values

    When defining a Hash enum it can be easy to use `[]` instead of `{}`. This
    commit checks that only valid definition values are provided, those can
    be a Hash, an array of Symbols or an array of Strings. Otherwise it
    raises an `ArgumentError`.

    Fixes #33961

    *Alberto Almagro*

*   Reloading associations now clears the Query Cache like `Persistence#reload` does.

    ```
    class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
      has_one :category
      belongs_to :author
      has_many :comments
    end

    # Each of the following will now clear the query cache.
    post.reload_category
    post.reload_author
    post.comments.reload
    ```

    *Christophe Maximin*

*   Added `index` option for `change_table` migration helpers.
    With this change you can create indexes while adding new
    columns into the existing tables.

    Example:

        change_table(:languages) do |t|
          t.string :country_code, index: true
        end

    *Mehmet Emin İNAÇ*

*   Fix `transaction` reverting for migrations.

    Before: Commands inside a `transaction` in a reverted migration ran uninverted.
    Now: This change fixes that by reverting commands inside `transaction` block.

    *fatkodima*, *David Verhasselt*

*   Raise an error instead of scanning the filesystem root when `fixture_path` is blank.

    *Gannon McGibbon*, *Max Albrecht*

*   Allow `ActiveRecord::Base.configurations=` to be set with a symbolized hash.

    *Gannon McGibbon*

*   Don't update counter cache unless the record is actually saved.

    Fixes #31493, #33113, #33117.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   Deprecate `ActiveRecord::Result#to_hash` in favor of `ActiveRecord::Result#to_a`.

    *Gannon McGibbon*, *Kevin Cheng*

*   SQLite3 adapter supports expression indexes.

    ```
    create_table :users do |t|
      t.string :email
    end

    add_index :users, 'lower(email)', name: 'index_users_on_email', unique: true
    ```

    *Gray Kemmey*

*   Allow subclasses to redefine autosave callbacks for associated records.

    Fixes #33305.

    *Andrey Subbota*

*   Bump minimum MySQL version to 5.5.8.

    *Yasuo Honda*

*   Use MySQL utf8mb4 character set by default.

    `utf8mb4` character set with 4-Byte encoding supports supplementary characters including emoji.
    The previous default 3-Byte encoding character set `utf8` is not enough to support them.

    *Yasuo Honda*

*   Fix duplicated record creation when using nested attributes with `create_with`.

    *Darwin Wu*

*   Configuration item `config.filter_parameters` could also filter out
    sensitive values of database columns when call `#inspect`.
    We also added `ActiveRecord::Base::filter_attributes`/`=` in order to
    specify sensitive attributes to specific model.

    ```
    Rails.application.config.filter_parameters += [:credit_card_number, /phone/]
    Account.last.inspect # => #<Account id: 123, name: "DHH", credit_card_number: [FILTERED], telephone_number: [FILTERED] ...>
    SecureAccount.filter_attributes += [:name]
    SecureAccount.last.inspect # => #<SecureAccount id: 42, name: [FILTERED], credit_card_number: [FILTERED] ...>
    ```

    *Zhang Kang*, *Yoshiyuki Kinjo*

*   Deprecate `column_name_length`, `table_name_length`, `columns_per_table`,
    `indexes_per_table`, `columns_per_multicolumn_index`, `sql_query_length`,
    and `joins_per_query` methods in `DatabaseLimits`.

    *Ryuta Kamizono*

*   `ActiveRecord::Base.configurations` now returns an object.

    `ActiveRecord::Base.configurations` used to return a hash, but this
    is an inflexible data model. In order to improve multiple-database
    handling in Rails, we've changed this to return an object. Some methods
    are provided to make the object behave hash-like in order to ease the
    transition process. Since most applications don't manipulate the hash
    we've decided to add backwards-compatible functionality that will throw
    a deprecation warning if used, however calling `ActiveRecord::Base.configurations`
    will use the new version internally and externally.

    For example, the following `database.yml`:

    ```
    development:
      adapter: sqlite3
      database: db/development.sqlite3
    ```

    Used to become a hash:

    ```
    { "development" => { "adapter" => "sqlite3", "database" => "db/development.sqlite3" } }
    ```

    Is now converted into the following object:

    ```
    #<ActiveRecord::DatabaseConfigurations:0x00007fd1acbdf800 @configurations=[
      #<ActiveRecord::DatabaseConfigurations::HashConfig:0x00007fd1acbded10 @env_name="development",
        @spec_name="primary", @config={"adapter"=>"sqlite3", "database"=>"db/development.sqlite3"}>
      ]
    ```

    Iterating over the database configurations has also changed. Instead of
    calling hash methods on the `configurations` hash directly, a new method `configs_for` has
    been provided that allows you to select the correct configuration. `env_name` and
    `spec_name` arguments are optional. For example, these return an array of
