Compound (multi-column) foreign keys are now represented as a single ``ForeignKey`` with ``is_compound=True`` and populated ``columns``/``other_columns`` tuples, where ``column`` and ``other_column`` are ``None``. Previously they were returned as one ``ForeignKey`` per column, misleadingly suggesting several independent foreign keys. See :ref:`upgrading_3_to_4` for details.

Previously they were returned as one ``ForeignKey`` per column, misleadingly suggesting several independent foreign keys. See :ref:`upgrading_3_to_4` for details. (:issue:`594`) - Removed support for using ``sqlean.py`` as a drop-in replacement for the Python standard library ``sqlite3`` module. ``sqlite-utils`` will now use ``pysqlite3`` if it is installed, otherwise it will use ``sqlite3`` from the standard library. - The ``db.ensure_autocommit_off()`` context manager has been renamed to ``db.ensure_autocommit_on()``, because the old name described the opposite of what it did. The method temporarily puts the connection into driver-level autocommit mode - by setting ``isolation_level = None`` - so that statements such as ``PRAGMA journal_mode=wal`` can run outside of an implicit transaction. (:issue:`705`) Compound foreign key support ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- Tables can now be created with compound foreign keys, by passing tuples of column names in ``foreign_keys=``: ``foreign_keys=[(("campus_name", "dept_code"), "departments")]``. The referenced columns default to the compound primary key of the other table. Compound keys are rendered as table-level ``FOREIGN KEY`` constraints in the generated schema. See :ref:`python_api_compound_foreign_keys`. +- Tables can now be created with :ref:`compound foreign keys `, by passing tuples of column names in ``foreign_keys=``: ``foreign_keys=[(("campus_name", "dept_code"), "departments")]``. The referenced columns default to the compound primary key of the other table. Compound keys are rendered as table-level ``FOREIGN KEY`` constraints in the generated schema. - ``table.transform()`` now preserves compound foreign keys, applying any column renames to them. Dropping a column that is part of a compound foreign key drops the whole constraint, matching the existing single-column behavior. ``drop_foreign_keys=`` accepts a bare column name - dropping any foreign key that column participates in - or a tuple of columns to target a compound key precisely. - ``table.add_foreign_key()`` and ``db.add_foreign_keys()`` accept tuples of column names to add a compound foreign key to an existing table. - ``db.index_foreign_keys()`` creates a single composite index for a compound foreign key.
