pack_join() works correctly if name is the same as an existing column in either table. In some cases a column is overwritten, this is consistent with nest_join() behavior (#864, #865).dm_insert_zoomed() uses the color from the zoomed table for the new table (#750, #863).copy_dm_to() consumes less memory and is faster when writing to SQL Server (#855).copy_dm_to() shows progress bars again (#850, #855).dbAppendTable() for zero-row tables (#847).dm_wrap_tbl(), dm_unwrap_tbl(), dm_nest_tbl(), dm_unnest_tbl(), dm_pack_tbl() and dm_unpack_tbl() (#595, #733, #737).dm_examine_cardinality() (#264, #735).pack_join() generic and method for data frames, the same to tidyr::pack() as dplyr::nest_join() is to tidyr::nest() (#721, #722).dm_pixarfilms() is exported and gains a consistent = FALSE argument; if TRUE the data is modified so that all referential constraints are satisfied (#703, #707, #708, @erictleung).db_schema_...() functions no longer pro-actively check for schema existence (#672, #815, #771).db_schema_list.Microsoft SQL Server no longer ignoring schemas for which the owner cannot be found (#815, #771).copy_dm_to() works with DuckDB again, the SQL statements to define the tables and indexes are now created by us (#701, #709).dm_pixarfilms() creates a dm object with data from the {pixarfilms} package (#600, @erictleung).check_cardinality_0_1(), check_cardinality_0_n(), check_cardinality_1_1(), check_cardinality_1_n(), and examine_cardinality() now support compound keys (#524).check_subset() and check_set_equality() support compound keys (#523).dm_paste() adds the on_delete argument to dm_add_fk() (#673).dm_disambiguate_cols() also disambiguates columns used in keys, to support correct disambiguation for compound keys (#662).dm_disambiguate_cols() now emits the source code equivalent of a renaming operation (#684).dm_examine_constraints() uses backticks to surround table names (#687).decompose_table() now avoids creating NA values in the key column (#580).dm_draw() works with empty tables (#585).mutate(), transmute(), distinct() and summarize() now support dplyr::across() and extra arguments (#640).relocate() now works on zoomed dm objects (#666).dm_add_fk() gains on_delete argument which copy_dm_to() picks up and translates to an ON DELETE CASCADE or ON DELETE NO ACTION specification for the foreign key (#649).dm_copy_to() defines foreign keys during table creation, for all databases except DuckDB.

Relying on an internal "version" attribute instead (#547).dm_get_src() tbl.dm(), src_tbls.dm(), copy_to.dm().
