This release contains many improvements to Ecto.Changeset, functions like Ecto.Changeset.changed?/2
and field_missing?/2
will help make your code more expressive. Improvements to association and embed handling will also make it easier to manage more complex forms, especially those embedded within Phoenix.LiveView applications.
On the changeset front, note this release unifies the handling of empty values between cast/4
and validate_required/3
. If you were setting :empty_values
in the past and you want to preserve this new behaviour throughout, you may want to update your code from this:
Ecto.Changeset.cast(changeset, params, [:field1, :field2], empty_values: ["", []])
to:
empty_values = [[]] ++ Ecto.Changeset.empty_values()
Ecto.Changeset.cast(changeset, params, [:field1, :field2], empty_values: empty_values)
Queries have also been improved to support LIMIT WITH TIES as well as materialized CTEs.

Although Ecto 3.0 is a major bump version, the functionality below emits deprecation warnings to ease the migration process. The functionality below will be removed in future Ecto 3.1+ releases.
- [Ecto.Changeset] Passing a list of binaries to
cast/3
is deprecated, please pass a list of atoms instead - [Ecto.Multi]
Ecto.Multi.run/3
now receives the repo in which the transaction is executing as the first argument to functions, and the changes so far as the second argument - [Ecto.Query]
join/5
now expectson: expr
as last argument instead of simplyexpr
. This was done in order to properly support the:as
,:hints
and:prefix
options - [Ecto.Repo] The
:returning
option forupdate_all
anddelete_all
has been deprecated as those statements now supportselect
clauses - [Ecto.Repo] Passing
:adapter
via config is deprecated in favor of passing it onuse Ecto.Repo
- [Ecto.Repo] The
:loggers
configuration is deprecated in favor of "Telemetry Events"
- [Ecto.DateTime]
Ecto.Date
,Ecto.Time
andEcto.DateTime
were previously deprecated and have now been removed - [Ecto.DataType]
Ecto.DataType
protocol has been removed - [Ecto.Migration] Automatically inferred index names may differ in Ecto v3.0 for indexes on complex column names
- [Ecto.Multi]
Ecto.Multi.run/5
now receives the repo in which the transaction is executing as the first argument to functions, and the changes so far as the second argument - [Ecto.Query] A
join
no longer wrapsfragment
in parentheses. In some cases, such as common table expressions, you will have to explicitly wrap the fragment in parens. - [Ecto.Repo] The
on_conflict: :replace_all
option now will also send fields with default values to the database. If you prefer the old behaviour that only sends the changes in the changeset, you can set it toon_conflict: {:replace, Map.keys(changeset.changes)}
(this change is also listed as a bug fix) - [Ecto.Repo] The repository operations are no longer called from association callbacks - this behaviour was not guaranteed in previous versions but we are listing as backwards incompatible changes to help with users relying on this behaviour
- [Ecto.Repo]
:pool_timeout
is no longer supported in favor of a new queue system described inDBConnection.start_link/2
under "Queue config". For most users, configuring:timeout
is enough, as it now includes both queue and query time - [Ecto.Schema]
:time
,:naive_datetime
and:utc_datetime
no longer keep microseconds information. If you want to keep microseconds, use:time_usec
,:naive_datetime_usec
,:utc_datetime_usec
- [Ecto.Schema] The
@schema_prefix
option now only affects thefrom
/join
of where the schema is used and no longer the whole query - [Ecto.Schema.Metadata] The
source
key no longer returns a tuple of the schema_prefix and the table/collection name. It now returns just the table/collection string. You can now access the schema_prefix via theprefix
key. - [Mix.Ecto]
Mix.Ecto.ensure_started/2
has been removed. However, in Ecto 2.2 theMix.Ecto
module was not considered part of the public API and should not have been used but we are listing this for guidance.
- [Ecto.Adapter] Split
Ecto.Adapter
intoEcto.Adapter.Queryable
andEcto.Adapter.Schema
to provide more granular repository APIs - [Ecto.Adapter] The
:sources
field inquery_meta
now contains three elements tuples with{source, schema, prefix}
in order to supportfrom
/join
prefixes (#2572) - [Ecto.Adapter] The database types
time
,utc_datetime
andnaive_datetime
should translate to types with seconds precision while the database typestime_usec
,utc_datetime_usec
andnaive_datetime_usec
should have microseconds precision (#2291) - [Ecto.Adapter] The
on_conflict
argument forinsert
andinsert_all
no longer receives a{:replace_all, list(), atom()}
tuple. Instead, it receives a{fields :: [atom()], list(), atom()}
wherefields
is a list of atoms of the fields to be replaced (#2181) - [Ecto.Adapter]
insert
/update
/delete
now receive both:source
and:prefix
fields instead of a single:source
field with bothsource
andprefix
in it (#2490) - [Ecto.Adapter.Migration] A new
lock_for_migration/4
callback has been added. It is implemented by default byEcto.Adapters.SQL
(#2215) - [Ecto.Adapter.Migration] The
execute_ddl
should now return{:ok, []}
to make space for returning notices/hints/warnings in the future (adapters leveragingEcto.Adapters.SQL
do not have to perform any change) - [Ecto.Query] The
from
field inEcto.Query
now returns aEcto.Query.FromExpr
with the:source
field, unifying the behaviour infrom
andjoin
expressions (#2497) - [Ecto.Query] Tuple expressions are now supported in queries. For example,
where: {p.foo, p.bar} > {p.bar, p.baz}
should translate toWHERE (p.foo, p.bar) > (p.bar, p.baz)
in SQL databases. Adapters should be changed to handle{:{}, meta, exprs}
in the query AST (#2344) - [Ecto.Query] Adapters should support the following arithmetic operators in queries
+
,-
,*
and/
(#2400) - [Ecto.Query] Adapters should support
filter/2
in queries, as inselect: filter(count(p.id), p.public == true)
(#2487)
