Hi, Wojtek here. Let’s see what changed in the Rails codebase.

Disable the Active Record query cache in the console by default
Pass –query-cache to enable it for the session.

Fix inflections to better handle overlapping acronyms

ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections(:en) do |inflect|
  inflect.acronym "USD"
  inflect.acronym "USDC"
end

"USDC".underscore # => "usdc"

Skip unique index lookup for insert_all!
insert_all! uses on_duplicate: :raise which performs a plain insert without any ON CONFLICT clause. Previously, find_unique_index_for was called unconditionally, requiring a unique index even when one wasn’t needed.

This caused unnecessary failures for tables with composite primary keys where model.primary_key differs from the schema’s primary key columns.

insert_all (on_duplicate: :skip) and upsert_all (on_duplicate: :update) still require the unique index for generating the conflict target clause.

We had 14 contributors to the Rails codebase this past week!

Until next time!
