is currently being supported in addition to nose, and will likely
be preferred to nose going forward.   The nose plugin system used
by SQLAlchemy has been split out so that it works under pytest as
well.  There are no plans to drop support for nose at the moment
and we hope that the test suite itself can continue to remain as
agnostic of testing platform as possible.  See the file
README.unittests.rst for updated information on running tests
with pytest.

The test plugin system has also been enhanced to support running
tests against mutiple database URLs at once, by specifying the ``--db``
and/or ``--dburi`` flags multiple times.  This does not run the entire test
suite for each database, but instead allows test cases that are specific
to certain backends make use of that backend as the test is run.
When using pytest as the test runner, the system will also run
specific test suites multiple times, once for each database, particularly
those tests within the "dialect suite".   The plan is that the enhanced
system will also be used by Alembic, and allow Alembic to run
migration operation tests against multiple backends in one run, including
third-party backends not included within Alembic itself.
Third party dialects and extensions are also encouraged to standardize
on SQLAlchemy's test suite as a basis; see the file README.dialects.rst
for background on building out from SQLAlchemy's test platform.

into the names used by standard functions in :mod:`sqlalchemy.sql.functions`,
such as ``func.coalesce()`` and ``func.max()``.  Using these functions
in ORM attributes and thus producing annotated versions of them could
corrupt the actual function name rendered in the SQL. [ticket:2927]

- remove informix, maxdb, access symbols from tests etc.

- went through examples/ and cleaned out excess list() calls

- other cleanup
- don't need compat.decimal, that approach never panned out. hopefully
outside libs aren't pulling it in, they shouldn't be

become an externally usable package but still remains within the main sqlalchemy parent package.
in this system, we use kind of an ugly hack to get the noseplugin imported outside of the
"sqlalchemy" package, while still making it available within sqlalchemy for usage by
third party libraries.

will now be produced via the func.* accessor
as well, as users naturally try to access these
names from func.* they might as well do
what's expected, even though the returned
object is not a FunctionElement.

True by default, if not passed explicitly,
on bindparam() if the "value" or "callable"
parameters are not passed.
This will cause statement execution to check
for the parameter being present in the final
collection of bound parameters, rather than
implicitly assigning None. [ticket:2556]
