Upgrade utils¶

Upgrade utils is a library that contains helper functions to facilitate the writing of upgrade scripts. This library, used by Odoo for the upgrade scripts of standard modules, provides reliability and helps speed up the upgrade process:

The helper functions help make sure the data is consistent in the database.
It takes care of indirect references of the updated records.
Allows calling functions and avoid writing code, saving time and reducing development risks.
Helpers allow to focus on what is important for the upgrade and not think of details.

Installation¶

Clone the Upgrade utils repository locally and start odoo with the src directory prepended to the --upgrade-path option.

$ ./odoo-bin --upgrade-path=/path/to/upgrade-util/src,/path/to/other/upgrade/script/directory [...]

On platforms where you do not manage Odoo yourself, you can install this library via pip:

$ python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/odoo/upgrade-util@master

On Odoo.sh it is recommended to add it to the requirements.txt of the custom repository. For this, add the following line inside the file:

odoo_upgrade @ git+https://github.com/odoo/upgrade-util@master

Using upgrade utils¶

Once installed, the following packages are available for the upgrade scripts:

odoo.upgrade.util: the helper itself.
odoo.upgrade.testing: base TestCase classes.

To use it in upgrade scripts, simply import it:

from odoo.upgrade import util


def migrate(cr, version):
   # Rest of the script

Now, the helper functions are available to be called through util.

Util functions¶

Upgrade utils provides many useful functions to ease the upgrade process. Here, we describe some of the most useful ones. Refer to the util folder for the comprehensive declaration of helper functions.

Note

The cr parameter in util functions always refers to the database cursor. Pass the one received as a parameter in migrate(). Not all functions need this parameter.

Modules¶

Utility functions for module-level operations.

In most cases module operations (rename, merge, remove, …) should be performed in a base script. The reason is that once the base module is upgraded, all the information regarding modules should be already set in the DB for the upgrade process to function correctly.

odoo.upgrade.util.modules.modules_installed(cr, *modules)[source]¶

Return whether all given modules are installed.

Parameters: modules (list(str)) – names of the modules to check
Return type: bool

Note

In the context of upgrades a module is considered as installed if it is marked for upgrade, or for installation; even if they are not yet fully installed.

odoo.upgrade.util.modules.module_installed(cr, module)[source]¶

Return whether a module is installed.

Parameters: module (str) – name of the module to check
Return type: bool

See modules_installed().

odoo.upgrade.util.modules.uninstall_module(cr, module)[source]¶

Uninstall and remove all records owned by a module.

Parameters: module (str) – name of the module to uninstall

odoo.upgrade.util.modules.uninstall_theme(cr, theme, base_theme=None)[source]¶

Uninstall a theme module and remove it from websites.

Parameters

theme (str) – name of the theme module to uninstall
base_theme (str or None) – if not None, unload first this base theme

Warning

This function can only be used in post- scripts of website module as it relies on the ORM.

See remove_theme() and uninstall_module().

odoo.upgrade.util.modules.remove_module(cr, module)[source]¶

Completely remove a module.

This operation is equivalent to uninstall and removal of all references to the module - no trace of it is left in the database.

Parameters: module (str) – name of the module to remove

Warning

Since this function removes all data associated to the module. Ensure to reassign records before calling this function.

odoo.upgrade.util.modules.remove_theme(cr, theme, base_theme=None)[source]¶

Uninstall a theme module.

Warning

This function can only be used in post- scripts.

See remove_module() and uninstall_theme().

odoo.upgrade.util.modules.rename_module(cr, old, new)[source]¶

Rename a module and all references to it.

Parameters

old (str) – current name of the module to rename
new (str) – new name of the module to rename

odoo.upgrade.util.modules.merge_module(cr, old, into, update_dependers=True)[source]¶

Merge a module into another.

This function moves all references and records from the source module to the destination module.

Warning

This functions does not remove any record, but it removes xml_ids from the source module with a conflicting name in the destination module.

Parameters

old (str) – name of the module to be merged
into (str) – name of the module to merge into
update_dependers (bool) – whether the dependencies of modules that depend on old are updated

odoo.upgrade.util.modules.force_install_module(cr, module, if_installed=None)[source]¶

Force the ORM to install a module.

Parameters

module (str) – name of the module to install
if_installed (list(str) or None) – only force the install when these modules are already installed

Return str

the original state of the module

odoo.upgrade.util.modules.force_upgrade_of_fresh_module(cr, module, init=True)[source]¶

Force the execution of upgrade scripts for a module that is being installed.

Standard Odoo doesn’t run upgrade scripts when a module is being installed. This makes sense because, technically speaking, the module is not being upgraded. Still, it happens that a (new) module needs to perform some operations for it to be correctly installed, like grabbing data from another module. This is common when a module is functionally split into several ones.

Parameters

module (str) – name of the module for which to force the execution of upgrade scripts
init (bool) – whether to set the module to be in init mode

Being in init mode has the side effect of not respecting noupdate flags, in XML file nor in ir_model_data.

odoo.upgrade.util.modules.move_model(cr, model, from_module, to_module, move_data=False, keep=())[source]¶

Move a model from one module to another.

Parameters

model (str) – name of the model to move
from_module (str) – name of the module where the model is originally defined
to_module (str) – name of the destination module where the model is to be moved
move_data (bool) – whether to also update ir_model_data for records of the model
keep (list(str)) – list of XML ids to keep - not move

This function can be called for moving overrides of a model to another module. As it cannot distinguish between source model or inherited model, it raises an exception if the destination module isn’t installed.

Models¶

Utility functions for modifying models.

Model operations are best done in pre- script of the involved modules.

odoo.upgrade.util.models.remove_model(cr, model, drop_table=True, ignore_m2m=())[source]¶

Remove a model and its references from the database.

Some required indirect references to the model are replaced by the unknown model - an empty model that serves as placeholder for gone models.

Parameters

model (str) – name of the model to remove
drop_table (bool) – whether to drop the table of this model
ignore_m2m (list(str) or str) – list of m2m tables to ignore - not removed, use "*" to ignore (keep) all m2m tables

odoo.upgrade.util.models.delete_model(cr, model, drop_table=True, ignore_m2m=())[source]¶

Remove a model and its references from the database.

Some required indirect references to the model are replaced by the unknown model - an empty model that serves as placeholder for gone models.

Parameters

model (str) – name of the model to remove
drop_table (bool) – whether to drop the table of this model
ignore_m2m (list(str) or str) – list of m2m tables to ignore - not removed, use "*" to ignore (keep) all m2m tables

odoo.upgrade.util.models.rename_model(cr, old, new, rename_table=True)[source]¶

Rename a model.

Parameters

old (str) – current name of the model to rename
new (str) – new name of the model to rename

odoo.upgrade.util.models.merge_model(cr, source, target, drop_table=True, fields_mapping=None, ignore_m2m=())[source]¶

Merge a model into another one.

This function moves all the references from source model into target model and removes source model and its references. By default, only the fields with the same name in both models are moved from source to target, optionally a mapping with differently named fields can be provided.

Warning

This function does not move the records from source model to target model.

Parameters

source (str) – name of the model to be merged
target (str) – name of the destination model to merge into
drop_table (bool) – whether to drop the table of the source model
fields_mapping (dict or None) – mapping of field names from source to target model, when None only fields with same name are moved
ignore_m2m (list(str) or str) – list of m2m tables ignored to remove from source model.

Fields¶

Utility functions for modifying model fields.

Field operations are best done in pre- script of the involved modules. In some cases a preliminary operation could be done in pre and finished in post. A common example is to remove a field in pre- keeping its column, later used in post when the column is finally dropped.

odoo.upgrade.util.fields.remove_field(cr, model, fieldname, cascade=False, drop_column=True, skip_inherit=())[source]¶

Remove a field and its references from the database.

This function also removes the field from inheriting models, unless exceptions are specified in skip_inherit. When the field is stored we can choose to not drop the column.

Parameters

model (str) – model name of the field to remove
fieldname (str) – name of the field to remove
cascade (bool) – whether the field column(s) are removed in CASCADE mode
drop_column (bool) – whether the field’s column is dropped
skip_inherit (list(str) or str) – list of inheriting models to skip the removal of the field, use "*" to skip all

odoo.upgrade.util.fields.move_field_to_module(cr, model, fieldname, old_module, new_module, skip_inherit=())[source]¶

Move a field from one module to another.

This functions updates all references to a specific field, switching from the source module to the destination module. It avoid data removal after the registry is fully loaded. The field in inheriting models are also moved unless skipped.

Parameters

model (str) – name of the owner model of the field to move
fieldname (str) – name of the field to move
old_module (str) – source module name from which the field is moved
new_module (str) – target module name into which the field is moved
skip_inherit (list(str) or str) – list of inheriting models for which the field is not to be moved, use "*" to skip all

odoo.upgrade.util.fields.rename_field(cr, model, old, new, update_references=True, domain_adapter=None, skip_inherit=())[source]¶

Rename a field and its references from old to new on the given model.

The field is updated in all inheriting models, except for models specified in skip_inherit.

This functions also updates references, indirect or direct ones, including filters, server actions, related fields, emails, dashboards, domains, and many more. See update_field_usage()

For the update of domains a special adapter function can be used. The default adapter just replaces old by new in each domain leaf. Refer to adapt_domains() for information about domain adapters.

Parameters

model (str) – model name of the field to rename
old (str) – current name of the field to rename
new (str) – new name of the field to rename
update_references (bool) – whether to update all references
domain_adapter (function) – adapter to use for domains, see adapt_domains()
skip_inherit (list(str) or str) – models to skip when renaming the field in inheriting models, use "*" to skip all

odoo.upgrade.util.fields.change_field_selection_values(cr, model, field, mapping, skip_inherit=())[source]¶

Replace references of values of a selection field.

This function replaces all references to selection values according to a mapping. Domains are also updated.

Parameters

model (str) – model name of the selection field to update
field (str) – name of the selection field to update
mapping (dict) – selection values to update, key values are replaced by their corresponding values in the mapping
skip_inherit (list(str) or str) – list of inheriting models to skip in the update of the selection values, use "*" to skip all

odoo.upgrade.util.fields.update_field_usage(cr, model, old, new, domain_adapter=None, skip_inherit=())[source]¶

Replace all references to the field old by new in different places.

Search in:

ir_filters
ir_exports_line
ir_act_server
mail_alias
ir_ui_view_custom (dashboard)
domains (using domain_adapter)
related fields

This function can be used to replace the usage of a field by another. Domains are updated using the domain_adapter. By default the domain adapter just replaces old by new in domain leaves. See adapt_domains() for more information about domain adapters.

Parameters

model (str) – model name of the field
old (str) – source name of the field to replace
new (str) – target name of the field to set
domain_adapter (function) – adapter to use for domains, see adapt_domains()
skip_inherit (list(str) or str) – models to skip when renaming the field in inheriting models, use "*" to skip all

Records¶

Utility functions for record-level operations.

odoo.upgrade.util.records.remove_view(cr, xml_id=None, view_id=None, silent=False, key=None)[source]¶

Remove a view and all its descendants.

This function recursively deletes the given view and its inherited views, as long as they are part of a module. It will fail as soon as a custom view exists anywhere in the hierarchy. It also removes multi-website COWed views.

Parameters

xml_id (str) – optional, the xml_id of the view to remove
view_id (int) – optional, the ID of the view to remove
silent (bool) – whether to show in the logs disabled custom views
key (str or None) – key used to detect multi-website COWed views, if None then set to xml_id if provided, otherwise set to the xml_id referencing the view with ID view_id if any

Warning

Either xml_id or view_id must be set. Specifying both will raise an error.

odoo.upgrade.util.records.edit_view(cr, xmlid=None, view_id=None, skip_if_not_noupdate=True, active='auto')[source]¶

Context manager to edit a view’s arch.

This function returns a context manager that may yield a parsed arch of a view as an etree Element. Any changes done in the returned object will be written back to the database upon exit of the context manager, updating also the translated versions of the arch. Since the function may not yield, use skippable_cm() to avoid errors.

with util.skippable_cm(), util.edit_view(cr, "xml.id") as arch:
    arch.attrib["string"] = "My Form"

To select the target view to edit use either xmlid or view_id, not both.

When the view is identified by view_id, the arch is always yielded if the view exists, with disregard to any noupdate flag it may have associated. When xmlid is set, if the view noupdate flag is True then the arch will not be yielded unless skip_if_not_noupdate is set to False. If noupdate is False, the view will be yielded for edit.

If the active argument is True or False, the active flag of the view will be set accordingly.

Note

If active is “auto” (default value), the view will be activated if selected via xmlid and left untouched if selected via view_id.

Parameters

xmlid (str) – optional, xml_id of the view edit
view_id (int) – optional, ID of the view to edit
skip_if_not_noupdate (bool) – whether to force the edit of views requested via xmlid parameter even if they are flagged as noupdate=True, ignored if view_id is set
active (bool or None or "auto") – active flag value to set. Unchanged when None.

Returns

a context manager that yields the parsed arch, upon exit the context manager writes back the changes.

odoo.upgrade.util.records.remove_record(cr, name)[source]¶

Remove a record and its references corresponding to the given xml_id.

Parameters: name (str) – record xml_id, under the format module.name

odoo.upgrade.util.records.is_changed(cr, xmlid, interval='1 minute')[source]¶

Return whether a record was changed.

This function checks if a record was changed before the current upgrade start time. See upgrade-util/src/base/0.0.0/pre-00-upgrade-start.py

This utility will return a false positive on xmlids of records that match the following conditions:

Have been updated in an upgrade preceding the current one

Have not been updated in the current upgrade

Parameters

xmlid (str) – xmlid of the record to check
interval (str) – SQL interval, a record is considered as changed if write_date > create_date + interval

Return type

bool

odoo.upgrade.util.records.if_unchanged(cr, xmlid, callback, interval='1 minute', **kwargs)[source]¶

Run callback if a record is unchanged.

This function will run a callback when the referred record is unchanged. The xmlid and any extra parameter, but not interval, will be passed to the callback. In case the record was changed it will be marked as noupdate=True. See also is_changed() and force_noupdate().

This function is useful to take an action only when a record hasn’t been updated, a common example is to force an update from XML even if the record was noupdate=True

util.if_unchanged(cr, "mymodule.myrecord", util.update_record_from_xml)

Parameters

xmlid (str) – xml_id of the record to check
callback (function) – callback to execute in case the record was not changed, all extra parameters to this function are passed to the callback
interval (str) – interval after create_date on which a record is considered as _changed_, see is_changed()

odoo.upgrade.util.records.rename_xmlid(cr, old, new, noupdate=None, on_collision='fail')[source]¶

Rename an external identifier (xml_id) of a record.

A rename cannot happen when the target name already exists on the database. In such cases there are two options to control how this function behaves:

fail: raise an exception and prevent renaming
merge: rename the external identifier, remove the old one, and replace references. See replace_record_references_batch()

Note

This function does not remove records, it only updates xml_ids.

Parameters

old (str) – current xml_id of the record, under the format module.name
new (str) – new xml_id of the record, under the format module.name
noupdate (bool or None) – value to set on the noupdate flag of the xml_id, ignored if None
on_collision (str) – how to proceed if the xml_id already exists, the options are merge or fail (default)

Returns

the ID of the record referenced by the new xml_id, None when the record doesn’t exist

Return type

int or None

odoo.upgrade.util.records.ref(cr, xmlid)[source]¶

Return the id corresponding to the given xml_id.

Parameters: xml_id (str) – record xml_id, under the format module.name
Returns: ID of the referenced record, None if not found.
Return type: int or None

odoo.upgrade.util.records.force_noupdate(cr, xmlid, noupdate=True, warn=False)[source]¶

Update the noupdate flag of a record.

Parameters

xmlid (str) – record xml_id, under the format module.name
noupdate (bool) – value to set on the noupdate flag
warn – whether to output a warning in the logs when the flag was switched from True to False

odoo.upgrade.util.records.ensure_xmlid_match_record(cr, xmlid, model, values)[source]¶

Ensure an xml_id references a record with specific values.

This function ensures the record pointed by an xml_id matches the values for the fields specified in the values parameter. When the xmlid exist but it points to a record that doesn’t match the values, the xmlid is updated to point to a record that matches the values if one is found. If the xmlid doesn’t exist, it is created with the found record. When no matching record is found, nothing is done. In all cases the referenced record, after a possible update, of the xml_id is returned.

Parameters

xmlid (str) – record xml_id, under the format module.name
model (str) – model name of the record

values (dict) –

mapping of field names to values the record must fulfill

Example

values = {"id": 123}
values = {"name": "INV/2024/0001", "company_id": 1}

Returns

the ID of the matched record, None if no record found

Return type

int or None

Tip

This function is useful when migrating in-database records into a custom module, to create the xml_ids before the module is updated and avoid duplication.

odoo.upgrade.util.records.update_record_from_xml(cr, xmlid, reset_write_metadata=True, force_create=True, from_module=None, reset_translations=(), ensure_references=False)[source]¶

Update a record based on its definition in the Data Files.

This function ignores the noupdate flag on the record. It searches in all XML files from the manifest of the module in the xmlid, or the from_module parameter if set, for a matching definition. When found, it forces the ORM to update the record as in the specs in the data file.

Optionally this function can reset the translations of some fields.

Parameters

xmlid (str) – record xml_id, under the format module.name
reset_write_metadata (bool) – whether to update the write_date of the record
force_create (bool) – whether the record is created if it does not exist
from_module (str) – name of the module from which to update the record, necessary only when the specs are in a different module than the one in the xml_id
reset_translations (set(str)) – field names whose translations get reset
ensure_references (bool) – whether referred records via ref XML attributes should also be updated.

Warning

This functions uses the ORM, therefore it can only be used after all models referenced in the data specs of the record are already loaded. In practice this means that this function should be used in post- or end- scripts.

Note

The standard behavior of ORM is to create the record if it doesn’t exist, including its xml_id. That will happen on this function as well.

odoo.upgrade.util.records.delete_unused(cr, *xmlids, **kwargs)[source]¶

Remove unused records.

This function will remove records pointed by xmlids only if they are not referenced from any table.

Note

The records that cannot be removed are set as noupdate=True.

Parameters

xmlids (list(str)) – list of xml_ids to check for removal
deactivate (bool) – whether to deactivate records that cannot be removed because they are referenced, False by default
keep_xmlids (bool) – whether to keep the xml_ids of records that cannot be removed, True by default

Returns

list of ids of removed records, if any

Return type

list(int)

odoo.upgrade.util.records.replace_record_references_batch(cr, id_mapping, model_src, model_dst=None, replace_xmlid=True, ignores=())[source]¶

Replace all references to records.

This functions replaces all references, direct or indirect to records of model_src by the corresponding records in the mapping. If the target model of the mapping is not the same as the source one, then model_dst parameter must be set.

Parameters

id_mapping (dict(int, int)) – mapping of IDs to replace, key value is replaced by the mapped value
model_src (str) – name of the source model of the records to replace
model_dst (str) – name of the target model of the records to replace, if None the target is assumed the same as the source
replace_xmlid (bool) – whether to replace the references in xml_ids pointing to the source records
ignores (list(str)) – list of table names to skip when updating the referenced values

odoo.upgrade.util.records.replace_in_all_jsonb_values(cr, table, column, old, new, extra_filter=None)[source]¶

Replace values in JSONB columns.

This function replaces old by new in JSONB values. It is useful for replacing values in all translations of translated fields.

Parameters

table (str) – table name where the values are to be replaced
column (str) – column name where the values are to be replaced
old (str) – original value to replace, can be a simple term (str) or a Postgres regular expression wrapped by PGRegexp
new (str) – new value to set, can be a simple term or a expression using <number> notation to refer to captured groups if old is a regexp expression
extra_filter (str) – extra WHERE compatible clause to filter the values to update, must use the t alias for the table, it can also include {parallel_filter} to execute the query in parallel, see explode_execute()

ORM¶

Utility functions to perform operations via the ORM.

The functions on this module allow to use the ORM safely during upgrades. They enhance or patch the ORM such that it can handle high volumes of data in a performant way. In some cases totally different alternatives to the ORM’s own functions are provided. The functions on this module work along the ORM of all supported versions.

odoo.upgrade.util.orm.env(cr)[source]¶

Create a new environment.

Warning

This function does not empty the cache maintained on the cursor for superuser with an empty environment. A call to invalidate_cache may be necessary every time data is modified directly in the database.

Returns: the new environment
Return type: Environment

odoo.upgrade.util.orm.recompute_fields(cr, model, fields, ids=None, logger=<Logger odoo.upgrade.util.orm (WARNING)>, chunk_size=256, strategy='auto')[source]¶

Recompute field values.

This function will recompute fields of a model restricted to a set of records - or all. The re-computation is not done on all records at the same time. It is split in batches (chunks). This avoids performance issues, and, in the worse cases, failures due to MemoryError. After each chunk is processed the data is sent back to the database according to one of the following strategies:

flush: use the flush method of the ORM
commit: commit the cursor - also flush
auto: pick the best alternative between the two above given the number of records to compute and the presence of tracked fields.

The commit strategy is less prone to cause a MemoryError for a huge volume of data.

Parameters

model (str) – name of the model to recompute
fields (list(str)) – list of the name of the fields to recompute
ids (list(int) or None) – list of the IDs of the records to recompute, when None recompute all records
logger (logging.Logger) – logger used to report the progress
chunk_size (int) – number of records per chunk - used to split the processing
strategy (str) – strategy used to process the re-computation

class odoo.upgrade.util.orm.iter_browse(model, *args, **kw)[source]¶

Iterate over recordsets.

The callable object returned by this class can be used as an iterator that loads records by chunks (into a recordset). After each chunk is exhausted their data is sent back to the database - flushed or committed - and a new chunk is loaded.

This class allows to run code like:

for record in env['my.model'].browse(ids):
    record.field1 = val

env['my.model'].browse(ids)._compute_field2()
env['my.model'].create(values)

in a performant way while also avoiding MemoryError, even when ids or values have millions of entries. The alternative using this class would be:

Example

MyModel = util.env(cr)['my.model']
for record in util.iter_browse(MyModel, ids):
    record.field1 = val

util.iter_browse(MyModel, ids)._compute_field2()
util.iter_browse(MyModel, ids).create(values)

Parameters

model (odoo.model.Model) – the model to iterate
ids (list(int)) – list of IDs of the records to iterate
chunk_size (int) – number of records to load in each iteration chunk, 200 by default
logger (logging.Logger) – logger used to report the progress, by default _logger
strategy (str) – whether to flush or commit on each chunk, default is flush

Returns

the object returned by this class can be used to iterate, or call any model method, safely on millions of records.

SQL¶

Utility functions for interacting with PostgreSQL.

class odoo.upgrade.util.pg.PGRegexp[source]¶

Wrapper for semantic meaning of parameters: this string is a Postgres regular expression.

See replace_in_all_jsonb_values()

odoo.upgrade.util.pg.parallel_execute(cr, queries, logger=<Logger odoo.upgrade.util.pg (WARNING)>)[source]¶

Execute queries in parallel.

Example

util.parallel_execute(cr, [util.format_query(cr, "REINDEX TABLE {}", t) for t in tables])

Tip

If looking to speedup a single query, see explode_execute().

Parameters

queries (list(str)) – list of queries to execute concurrently
logger (Logger) – logger used to report the progress

Returns

the sum of cr.rowcount for each query run

Return type

int

Warning

Due to the nature of cr.rowcount, the return value of this function may represent an underestimate of the real number of affected records. For instance, when some records are deleted/updated as a result of an ondelete clause, they won’t be taken into account.
As a side effect, the cursor will be committed.

Note

If a concurrency issue occurs, the failing queries will be retried sequentially.

odoo.upgrade.util.pg.format_query(cr, query, *args, **kwargs)[source]¶

Safely format a query.

The str arguments to this function are assumed to be SQL identifiers. They are wrapped in double quotes before being expanded using str.format(). Any other psycopg2.sql.Composable are also allowed. This includes ColumnList, see also get_columns()

Example

>>> util.format_query(cr, "SELECT {0} FROM {table}", "id", table="res_users")
SELECT "id" FROM "res_users"

Parameters: query (str) – query to format, can use brackets {} as in str.format()

odoo.upgrade.util.pg.explode_execute(cr, query, table, alias=None, bucket_size=10000, logger=<Logger odoo.upgrade.util.pg (WARNING)>)[source]¶

Execute a query in parallel.

The query is split by buckets of ids, then processed in parallel by workers. If the query does not include the special {parallel_filter} value, it is added to the last WHERE clause, possibly also adding it if none found. When the query already has the filter nothing is done. The filter always expands to the splitting strategy. The split is done into buckets where no more than bucket_size IDs are updated on each individual query.

Example

util.explode_execute(
    cr,
    '''
    UPDATE res_users u
       SET active = False
     WHERE (u.login LIKE 'dummy' OR u.login = 'bob')
       AND {parallel_filter}
    ''',
    table="res_users"
    alias="u",
)

Parameters

query (str) – the query to execute.
table (str) – name of the main table of the query, used to split the processing
alias (str) – alias used for the main table in the query
bucket_size (int) – size of the buckets of ids to split the processing
logger (logging.Logger) – logger used to report the progress

Returns

the sum of cr.rowcount for each query run

Return type

int

Warning

It’s up to the caller to ensure the queries do not update the same records in different buckets. It is advised to never use this function for DELETE queries on tables with self references due to the potential ON DELETE effects. For more details see parallel_execute().

odoo.upgrade.util.pg.column_exists(cr, table, column)[source]¶

Return whether a column exists.

Parameters

table (str) – table to check
column (str) – column to check

Return type

bool

odoo.upgrade.util.pg.column_type(cr, table, column)[source]¶

Return the type of a column, if it exists.

Parameters

table (str) – table to check
column (str) – column to check

Return type

SQL type of the column

odoo.upgrade.util.pg.create_column(cr, table, column, definition, **kwargs)[source]¶

Create a column.

This function will create the column only if it doesn’t exist. It will log an error if the existing column has different type. If fk_table is set, it will ensure the foreign key is setup, updating if necessary, with the right on_delete_action if any is set.

Parameters

table (str) – table of the new column
column (str) – name of the new column
definition (str) – column type of the new column
default (bool) – default value to set on the new column
fk_table (bool) – if the new column if a foreign key, name of the foreign table
on_delete_action (str) – ON DELETE clause, default NO ACTION, only valid if the column is a foreign key.

Returns

whether the column was created

Return type

bool

odoo.upgrade.util.pg.remove_constraint(cr, table, name, cascade=False, warn=True)[source]¶

Remove a table constraint.

This function removes the constraint name from table. It also removes records from ir_model_constraint and its xml_ids. It logs not found constraints.

Note

If there is no constraint name, this function will attempt to remove {table}_{name}, the latter is the default name the ORM uses for constraints created from _sql_constraints.

Parameters

table (str) – table from where to remove the constraint
name (str) – name of the constraint to remove
cascade (bool) – cascade the constraint removal
warn (bool) – use warning level when logging not found constraints, otherwise use info level

Returns

whether the constraint was removed

Return type

bool

class odoo.upgrade.util.pg.ColumnList(list_=(), quoted=())[source]¶

Encapsulate a list of elements that represent column names.

The resulting object can be rendered as string with leading/trailing comma or an alias.

Parameters

list (list(str)) – list of column names
quoted (list(str)) – list of quoted column names, it must correspond with the list_ parameter

Example

>>> columns = ColumnList(["id", "field_Yx"], ["id", '"field_Yx"'])

>>> list(columns)
['id', '"field_Yx"']

>>> columns.using(alias="t").as_string(cr._cnx)
'"t"."id", "t"."field_Yx"'

>>> columns.using(leading_comma=True).as_string(cr._cnx)
', "id", "field_Yx"'

>>> util.format_query(cr, "SELECT {} t.name FROM table t", columns.using(alias="t", trailing_comma=True))
'SELECT "t"."id", "t"."field_Yx", t.name FROM table t'

Note

This class is better used via get_columns()

using(leading_comma=False, trailing_comma=False, alias=None)[source]¶

Set up parameters to render this list as a string.

Parameters

leading_comma (bool) – whether to render a leading comma in front of this list
trailing_comma (bool) – whether to render a trailing comma
alias (str or None) – alias of the table of the columns, no alias is added if set to None

Returns

a copy of the list with the parameters set

Return type

ColumnList

iter_unquoted()[source]¶

Iterate over the raw column names, non quoted.

This is useful if the quoting is done outside this object. Also to get access to raw column names as in Postgres catalog.

Returns: an iterator for the raw column names

odoo.upgrade.util.pg.get_columns(cr, table, ignore=('id',))[source]¶

Return a list of columns in a table.

Parameters

table (str) – table name whose columns are retrieved
ignore (list(str)) – list of column names to ignore in the returning list

Returns

a list of column names present in the table

Return type

ColumnList

odoo.upgrade.util.pg.rename_table(cr, old_table, new_table, remove_constraints=True)[source]¶

Rename a table.

This function renames the table old_table into new_table, as well as its primary key (and sequence), indexes, and foreign keys.

Parameters

old_table (str) – name of the table to rename
new_table (str) – new name of the table

Para bool remove_constraints

whether to remove the table constraints

Misc¶

Miscellaneous standalone functions.

odoo.upgrade.util.misc.version_gte(version)[source]¶

Return whether currently running Odoo version is greater or equal to version.

This function is useful for conditional execution in an upgrade script that applies to multiple versions, e.g. 0.0.0 scripts.

Parameters: version (str) – Odoo version, must follow the format [saas~]X.Y where X is the major Odoo version, saas~ is necessary only when Y is nonzero
Return type: bool

odoo.upgrade.util.misc.version_between(a, b)[source]¶

Return whether currently running Odoo version is in the range [a,b].
