+
+SQLAlchemy 2.0 Deprecations Mode
+---------------------------------
+
+One of the primary goals of the 1.4 release is to provide a "transitional"
+release so that applications may migrate to SQLAlchemy 2.0 gradually.   Towards
+this end, a primary feature in release 1.4 is "2.0 deprecations mode", which is
+a series of deprecation warnings that emit against every detectable API pattern
+which will work differently in version 2.0.   The warnings all make use of the
+:class:`_exc.RemovedIn20Warning` class. As these warnings affect foundational
+patterns including the :func:`_sql.select` and :class:`_engine.Engine` constructs, even
+simple applications can generate a lot of warnings until appropriate API
+changes are made.   The warning mode is therefore turned off by default until
+the developer enables the environment variable ``SQLALCHEMY_WARN_20=1``.
+
+Given the example program below::
+
+  from sqlalchemy import column
+  from sqlalchemy import create_engine
+  from sqlalchemy import select
+  from sqlalchemy import table
+
+
+  engine = create_engine("sqlite://")
+
+  engine.execute("CREATE TABLE foo (id integer)")
+  engine.execute("INSERT INTO foo (id) VALUES (1)")
+
+
+  foo = table("foo", column("id"))
+  result = engine.execute(select([foo.c.id]))
+
+  print(result.fetchall())
+
+The above program uses several patterns that many users will already identify
+as "legacy", namely the use of the :meth:`_engine.Engine.execute` method
+that's part of the :ref:`connectionlesss execution <dbengine_implicit>`
+system.  When we run the above program against 1.4, it returns a single line::
+
+  $ python test3.py
+  [(1,)]
+
+To enable "2.0 deprecations mode", we enable the ``SQLALCHEMY_WARN_20=1``
+variable::
+
+    SQLALCHEMY_WARN_20=1 python test3.py
+
+**IMPORTANT** - older versions of Python may not emit deprecation warnings
+by default.   To guarantee deprecation warnings, use a `warnings filter`_
+that ensures warnings are printed::
+
+    SQLALCHEMY_WARN_20=1 python -W always::DeprecationWarning test3.py
+
+.. _warnings filter: https://docs.python.org/3/library/warnings.html#the-warnings-filter
+
+With warnings turned on, our program now has a lot to say::
+
+  $ SQLALCHEMY_WARN_20=1 python2 -W always::DeprecationWarning test3.py

+
+With the above guidance, we can migrate our program to use 2.0 styles, and
+as a bonus our program is much clearer::
+
+  from sqlalchemy import column
+  from sqlalchemy import create_engine
+  from sqlalchemy import select
+  from sqlalchemy import table
+  from sqlalchemy import text
+
+
+  engine = create_engine("sqlite://")
+
+  # don't rely on autocommit for DML and DDL
+  with engine.begin() as connection:
+      # use connection.execute(), not engine.execute()
+      # use the text() construct to execute textual SQL
+      connection.execute(text("CREATE TABLE foo (id integer)"))
+      connection.execute(text("INSERT INTO foo (id) VALUES (1)"))
+
+
+  foo = table("foo", column("id"))
+
+  with engine.connect() as connection:
+      # use connection.execute(), not engine.execute()
+      # select() now accepts column / table expressions positionally
+      result = connection.execute(select(foo.c.id))
+
+  print(result.fetchall())
+
+
+The goal of "2.0 deprecations mode" is that a program which runs with no
+:class:`_exc.RemovedIn20Warning` warnings with "2.0 deprecations mode" turned
+on is then ready to run in SQLAlchemy 2.0.
