as part of :ticket:`3424` to allow disabling of the MSSQL dialect's
attempts to create aliases for schema-qualified tables, now defaults
to False; the old behavior is now disabled unless explicitly turned on.
fixes #3434

to a :class:`.types.Enum` or :class:`.postgresql.ENUM` subtype
will now emit the expected "CREATE TYPE" and "DROP TYPE" DDL when
the type is used within a "CREATE TABLE" or "DROP TABLE".
fixes #2729

with a :class:`.SchemaType` implementation, typically :class:`.Enum`
or :class:`.Boolean` with regards to ensuring that the per-table
events are propagated from the implementation type to the outer type.
These events are used
to ensure that the constraints or Postgresql types (e.g. ENUM)
are correctly created (and possibly dropped) along with the parent
table.
fixes #2919

ARRAY type, references #3132

``<function> WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY <criteria>)``, using the
method :class:`.FunctionElement.within_group`.  A series of common
set-aggregate functions with return types derived from the set have
been added. This includes functions like :class:`.percentile_cont`,
:class:`.dense_rank` and others.
fixes #1370
- make sure we use func.name for all _literal_as_binds in functions.py
so we get consistent naming behavior for parameters.

which automatically returns an :class:`.Array` of the correct type
and supports index / slice operations.   As arrays are only
supported on Postgresql at the moment, only actually works on
Postgresql. fixes #3132

- any/all work for Array as well as subqueries, accepted by MySQL
- Postgresql ARRAY now subclasses Array
- fixes #3516

- new test for json col['x']['y']['z'] seems to fail pre PG 9.4,
fails on comparisons for non-compatible data instead of not matching
- no need to call SpecPredicate(db) directly in exclusion functions,
by using Predicate.as_predicate() the spec strings can have version
comparisons

- Fixes to the ORM and to the postgresql JSON type regarding the
``None`` constant in conjunction with the Postgresql :class:`.JSON` type.  When
the :paramref:`.JSON.none_as_null` flag is left at its default
value of ``False``, the ORM will now correctly insert the Json
"'null'" string into the column whenever the value on the ORM
object is set to the value ``None`` or when the value ``None``
is used with :meth:`.Session.bulk_insert_mappings`,
**including** if the column has a default or server default on it.  This
makes use of a new type-level flag "evaluates_none" which is implemented
by the JSON type based on the none_as_null flag. fixes #3514
- Added a new constant :attr:`.postgresql.JSON.NULL`, indicating
that the JSON NULL value should be used for a value
regardless of other settings. part of fixes #3514
