Subject: use the default driver for sparse backend
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=725d1a19b4e638c4a5ef40534397423c6c016614;p=thirdparty%2Fsqlalchemy%2Fsqlalchemy.git

use the default driver for sparse backend

the memusage tests use sparse_backend but should use the
main driver in a set; they were using the pysqlite_numeric
dialect which is not a real dialect and apparently runs
dramatically slower for the memusage tests since it generates
more memory artifacts.
