apply Grouping on left side of JSONB subscript in compiler
Fixed regression in PostgreSQL dialect where JSONB subscription syntax
would generate incorrect SQL for :func:`.cast` expressions returning JSONB,
causing syntax errors. The dialect now properly wraps cast expressions in
parentheses when using the ``[]`` subscription syntax, generating
``(CAST(...))[index]`` instead of ``CAST(...)[index]`` to comply with
PostgreSQL syntax requirements. This extends the fix from :ticket:`12778`
which addressed the same issue for function calls.
This reverts how we did the fix for #12778 in Function.self_group()
and instead moves to a direct Grouping() applied in the PG compiler
based on isinstance of the left side.
in retrospect, when we first did #10927, we **definitely** made
the completely wrong choice in how to do this, the original idea
to detect when we were in an UPDATE and use [] only then was
by **far** what we should have done, given the fact that PG indexes
are based on exact syntax matches. but since we've made everyone
switch to [] format for their indexes now we can't keep going
back and forth. even though PG would like [] to be the defacto
syntax it simply is not. We should potentially pursue a dialect/
create_engine option to switch the use of [] back to -> for
all cases except UPDATE.

Support aiosqlite 0.22.0+
Fixed issue in the aiosqlite driver where SQLAlchemy's setting of
aiosqlite's worker thread to "daemon" stopped working because the aiosqlite
architecture moved the location of the worker thread in version 0.22.0.
This "daemon" flag is necessary so that a program is able to exit if the
SQLite connection itself was not explicitly closed, which is particularly
likely with SQLAlchemy as it maintains SQLite connections in a connection
pool. While it's perfectly fine to call :meth:`.AsyncEngine.dispose`
before program exit, this is not historically or technically necessary for
any driver of any known backend, since a primary feature of relational
databases is durability. The change also implements support for
"terminate" with aiosqlite when using version version 0.22.1 or greater,
which implements a sync ``.stop()`` method.

Fixed JSONB path_match and path_exists operators to use correct type coercion
Fixed issue where PostgreSQL JSONB operators
:meth:`_postgresql.JSONB.Comparator.path_match` and
:meth:`_postgresql.JSONB.Comparator.path_exists` were applying incorrect
``VARCHAR`` casts to the right-hand side operand when used with newer
PostgreSQL drivers such as psycopg. The operators now indicate the
right-hand type as ``JSONPATH``, which currently results in no casting
taking place, but is also compatible with explicit casts if the
implementation were require it at a later point.
Support for `IF EXISTS` in SQL Server 2016 (13.x) and later versions
Added support for the ``IF EXISTS`` clause when dropping indexes on SQL

`Query[_T].get(...)` should return `Optional[_T]` instead of `Optional[Any]`. This is typed correctly when migrating to `Session.get(_T, ...)`. By typing the legacy `Query.get(...)` call first, it should make migrations easier on developers, as it splits up the type checking improvements (and subsequent errors which may be discovered) from the `Query.get()`
to `Session.get()` migration.

drop a 400 ton anvil on oracle 23c
this DB is extremely erratic in being able to connect. Add
a brute force connection retrier to all engines everywhere
(which for oracledb we can fortunately use their built-in feature
that also works).
This actually works and I can see it pausing under load, reconnecting,
and succeeding. the problem is that absolutely every engine everywhere
needs this routine otherwise an engine without a retrier in it will
crash. That then necessitates digging into testing_engine(),
making sure testing_engine() is used everywhere an engine that's going
to connect is used, then dealing with the fallout from that.
We also simplify some older workarounds for cx_oracle and
hack into config/provision to make oracledb seem like the primary
DBAPI for most tests.
testing_engine has been completely overhauled, making use of a new
post_configure_testing_engine() hook which moves and refines
the SQLite pool sharing and savepoint logic all into sqlite/provision.py
and also allows for cx_oracle to apply a retry event handler.

stop using MyISAM; more oracle struggles
getting some fails on mariadb12 and likely 11 which appear to
be related to calling in MyISAM, which is not used in
modern mysql/mariadb. see if we can just remove this whole
thing and rely on default engines for mariadb/mysql.
this change also removes the "ignore errors" part of the
run deletes for the TablesTest fixture, which was resulting
in compound failures, and apparently a lot of tests were relying
on it skipping nonexistent tables. rather than check for that
we should just improve the tests and probably increase use of
pytest style fixtures overall.
this change also identifies and fixes that memusage_w_backend
tests were running for all backends with a tag like
py314_mysql_backendonly; the memusage tests should basically
never be run as part of the whole suite since they are entirely
unreliable within a full scale test run.
dialect suite tests are also further broken out into those where
every driver should be exercised (i.e. __backend__, for tests that
test datatypes going out and coming back from the database as well
as identity/autoincrement kinds of tests) vs. those where only
one driver per backend is needed (i.e. __sparse_driver_backend__,
for tests like reflection, DDL, CTEs, etc.).
we are also trying to get a --low-connections option that actually
works. changed this so that the testing reaper aggressively disposes
the "global" engines (one per backend / driver) after test classes
are done and before any testing_engine() call. This definitely
works, however some monitoring with PG shows the number of connections
still has brief bursts for some reason. it should be much more
effective than before though as oracle 23/26 really does not handle
more than a few connections.
