Upgrade to SQLAlchemy 2.0

[pmdevita]

SQLAlchemy 2.0 brings full typing support, performance improvements, and some support for declarative model creation and dataclasses which might prove interesting. It also solves this security issue here https://pyup.io/v/51668/f17/ It would be ideal to upgrade to it to keep receiving support.

Currently, we need to wait on databases to add support for it, but it seems they have a mostly working PR here encode/databases#540

I'd be willing to put in a PR for it once that's ready.

Just a heads up that the referenced pull request isn't moving forward very quickly and databases is short on maintainers — I'm the only one reviewing things right now and am not a user. If someone is interested in helping out on that pull request it may be appreciated!

[pmdevita]

At long last the PR is merged! I'll start taking a look at integrating it on our end.

It might also be worth looking at https://github.com/tarsil/databasez which is a more actively maintained fork

Please, we need an urgent update at least temporary support to SQLAlchemy==1.4.52

I know you're working on SQLAlchemy 2 and Pydantic 2, but we need ORMAR to support SQLAlchemy 1.4.52 at least.

I am receiving:
ormar 0.12.2 depends on SQLAlchemy<1.4.42 and >=1.3.18

Many external dependencies are waiting for this version and I'm stuck

[pmdevita]

If you need something right now, you can install Ormar from my SQLAlchemy 2 branch https://github.com/pmdevita/ormar/tree/feature/sqlalchemy2 Everything should be working now and a number of dependencies are updated since the minimum version of Python has been increased to 3.8

@alexol91 as programmers, we must learn the dark arts of using workarounds :). In case you didn't know about these:

• Direct install: pip install git+https://github.com/pmdevita/ormar.git@feature/sqlalchemy2
• requirements.txt: ormar @ git+https://github.com/pmdevita/ormar.git@feature/sqlalchemy2

Done in previous releases already :)
