"""Represent a column-oriented SQL expression suitable for usage in the
"columns" clause, WHERE clause etc. of a statement.
While the most familiar kind of :class:`_expression.ColumnElement` is the
:class:`_schema.Column` object, :class:`_expression.ColumnElement`
serves as the basis
for any unit that may be present in a SQL expression, including
the expressions themselves, SQL functions, bound parameters,
literal expressions, keywords such as ``NULL``, etc.
:class:`_expression.ColumnElement`
is the ultimate base class for all such elements.
A wide variety of SQLAlchemy Core functions work at the SQL expression
level, and are intended to accept instances of
:class:`_expression.ColumnElement` as
arguments. These functions will typically document that they accept a
"SQL expression" as an argument. What this means in terms of SQLAlchemy
usually refers to an input which is either already in the form of a
:class:`_expression.ColumnElement` object,
or a value which can be **coerced** into
one. The coercion rules followed by most, but not all, SQLAlchemy Core
functions with regards to SQL expressions are as follows:
* a literal Python value, such as a string, integer or floating
point value, boolean, datetime, ``Decimal`` object, or virtually
any other Python object, will be coerced into a "literal bound
value". This generally means that a :func:`.bindparam` will be
produced featuring the given value embedded into the construct; the
resulting :class:`.BindParameter` object is an instance of
:class:`_expression.ColumnElement`.
The Python value will ultimately be sent
to the DBAPI at execution time as a parameterized argument to the
``execute()`` or ``executemany()`` methods, after SQLAlchemy
type-specific converters (e.g. those provided by any associated
:class:`.TypeEngine` objects) are applied to the value.
* any special object value, typically ORM-level constructs, which
feature a method called ``__clause_element__()``. The Core
expression system looks for this method when an object of otherwise
unknown type is passed to a function that is looking to coerce the
argument into a :class:`_expression.ColumnElement` expression. The
``__clause_element__()`` method, if present, should return a
:class:`_expression.ColumnElement` instance. The primary use of
``__clause_element__()`` within SQLAlchemy is that of class-bound
attributes on ORM-mapped classes; a ``User`` class which contains a
mapped attribute named ``.name`` will have a method
``User.name.__clause_element__()`` which when invoked returns the
:class:`_schema.Column`
called ``name`` associated with the mapped table.
* The Python ``None`` value is typically interpreted as ``NULL``,
which in SQLAlchemy Core produces an instance of :func:`.null`.
A :class:`_expression.ColumnElement` provides the ability to generate new
:class:`_expression.ColumnElement`
objects using Python expressions. This means that Python operators
such as ``==``, ``!=`` and ``<`` are overloaded to mimic SQL operations,
and allow the instantiation of further :class:`_expression.ColumnElement`
instances
which are composed from other, more fundamental
:class:`_expression.ColumnElement`
objects. For example, two :class:`.ColumnClause` objects can be added
together with the addition operator ``+`` to produce
a :class:`.BinaryExpression`.
Both :class:`.ColumnClause` and :class:`.BinaryExpression` are subclasses
of :class:`_expression.ColumnElement`::
>>> from sqlalchemy.sql import column
>>> column('a') + column('b')
<sqlalchemy.sql.expression.BinaryExpression object at 0x101029dd0>
>>> print(column('a') + column('b'))
a + b

r"""Produce a "bound expression".
The return value is an instance of :class:`.BindParameter`; this
is a :class:`_expression.ColumnElement`
subclass which represents a so-called
"placeholder" value in a SQL expression, the value of which is
supplied at the point at which the statement in executed against a
database connection.
In SQLAlchemy, the :func:`.bindparam` construct has
the ability to carry along the actual value that will be ultimately
used at expression time. In this way, it serves not just as
a "placeholder" for eventual population, but also as a means of
representing so-called "unsafe" values which should not be rendered
directly in a SQL statement, but rather should be passed along
to the :term:`DBAPI` as values which need to be correctly escaped
and potentially handled for type-safety.
When using :func:`.bindparam` explicitly, the use case is typically
one of traditional deferment of parameters; the :func:`.bindparam`
construct accepts a name which can then be referred to at execution
time::
from sqlalchemy import bindparam
stmt = select([users_table]).\
where(users_table.c.name == bindparam('username'))
The above statement, when rendered, will produce SQL similar to::
SELECT id, name FROM user WHERE name = :username
In order to populate the value of ``:username`` above, the value
would typically be applied at execution time to a method
like :meth:`_engine.Connection.execute`::
result = connection.execute(stmt, username='wendy')
Explicit use of :func:`.bindparam` is also common when producing
UPDATE or DELETE statements that are to be invoked multiple times,
where the WHERE criterion of the statement is to change on each
invocation, such as::
stmt = (users_table.update().
where(user_table.c.name == bindparam('username')).
values(fullname=bindparam('fullname'))
)
connection.execute(
stmt, [{"username": "wendy", "fullname": "Wendy Smith"},
{"username": "jack", "fullname": "Jack Jones"},
]
)
SQLAlchemy's Core expression system makes wide use of
:func:`.bindparam` in an implicit sense. It is typical that Python
literal values passed to virtually all SQL expression functions are
coerced into fixed :func:`.bindparam` constructs. For example, given
a comparison operation such as::
expr = users_table.c.name == 'Wendy'
The above expression will produce a :class:`.BinaryExpression`
construct, where the left side is the :class:`_schema.Column` object
representing the ``name`` column, and the right side is a
:class:`.BindParameter` representing the literal value::
print(repr(expr.right))
BindParameter('%(4327771088 name)s', 'Wendy', type_=String())
The expression above will render SQL such as::
user.name = :name_1
Where the ``:name_1`` parameter name is an anonymous name. The
actual string ``Wendy`` is not in the rendered string, but is carried
along where it is later used within statement execution. If we
invoke a statement like the following::
stmt = select([users_table]).where(users_table.c.name == 'Wendy')
result = connection.execute(stmt)
We would see SQL logging output as::
SELECT "user".id, "user".name
FROM "user"
WHERE "user".name = %(name_1)s
{'name_1': 'Wendy'}
Above, we see that ``Wendy`` is passed as a parameter to the database,
while the placeholder ``:name_1`` is rendered in the appropriate form
for the target database, in this case the PostgreSQL database.
Similarly, :func:`.bindparam` is invoked automatically when working
with :term:`CRUD` statements as far as the "VALUES" portion is
concerned. The :func:`_expression.insert` construct produces an
``INSERT`` expression which will, at statement execution time, generate
bound placeholders based on the arguments passed, as in::
stmt = users_table.insert()
result = connection.execute(stmt, name='Wendy')
The above will produce SQL output as::
INSERT INTO "user" (name) VALUES (%(name)s)
{'name': 'Wendy'}
The :class:`_expression.Insert` construct, at
compilation/execution time, rendered a single :func:`.bindparam`
mirroring the column name ``name`` as a result of the single ``name``
parameter we passed to the :meth:`_engine.Connection.execute` method.
:param key:
the key (e.g. the name) for this bind param.
Will be used in the generated
SQL statement for dialects that use named parameters. This
value may be modified when part of a compilation operation,
if other :class:`BindParameter` objects exist with the same
key, or if its length is too long and truncation is
required.
:param value:
Initial value for this bind param. Will be used at statement
execution time as the value for this parameter passed to the
DBAPI, if no other value is indicated to the statement execution
method for this particular parameter name. Defaults to ``None``.
:param callable\_:
A callable function that takes the place of "value". The function
will be called at statement execution time to determine the
ultimate value. Used for scenarios where the actual bind
value cannot be determined at the point at which the clause
construct is created, but embedded bind values are still desirable.
:param type\_:
A :class:`.TypeEngine` class or instance representing an optional
datatype for this :func:`.bindparam`. If not passed, a type
may be determined automatically for the bind, based on the given
value; for example, trivial Python types such as ``str``,
``int``, ``bool``
may result in the :class:`.String`, :class:`.Integer` or
:class:`.Boolean` types being automatically selected.
The type of a :func:`.bindparam` is significant especially in that
the type will apply pre-processing to the value before it is
passed to the database. For example, a :func:`.bindparam` which
refers to a datetime value, and is specified as holding the
:class:`.DateTime` type, may apply conversion needed to the
value (such as stringification on SQLite) before passing the value
to the database.
:param unique:
if True, the key name of this :class:`.BindParameter` will be
modified if another :class:`.BindParameter` of the same name
already has been located within the containing
expression. This flag is used generally by the internals
when producing so-called "anonymous" bound expressions, it
isn't generally applicable to explicitly-named :func:`.bindparam`
constructs.
:param required:
If ``True``, a value is required at execution time. If not passed,
it defaults to ``True`` if neither :paramref:`.bindparam.value`
or :paramref:`.bindparam.callable` were passed. If either of these
parameters are present, then :paramref:`.bindparam.required`
defaults to ``False``.
:param quote:
True if this parameter name requires quoting and is not
currently known as a SQLAlchemy reserved word; this currently
only applies to the Oracle backend, where bound names must
sometimes be quoted.
:param isoutparam:
if True, the parameter should be treated like a stored procedure
"OUT" parameter. This applies to backends such as Oracle which
support OUT parameters.
:param expanding:
if True, this parameter will be treated as an "expanding" parameter
at execution time; the parameter value is expected to be a sequence,
rather than a scalar value, and the string SQL statement will
be transformed on a per-execution basis to accommodate the sequence
with a variable number of parameter slots passed to the DBAPI.
This is to allow statement caching to be used in conjunction with
an IN clause.

r"""Construct a new :class:`_expression.TextClause` clause,
representing
a textual SQL string directly.
E.g.::
from sqlalchemy import text
t = text("SELECT * FROM users")
result = connection.execute(t)
The advantages :func:`_expression.text`
provides over a plain string are
backend-neutral support for bind parameters, per-statement
execution options, as well as
bind parameter and result-column typing behavior, allowing
SQLAlchemy type constructs to play a role when executing
a statement that is specified literally. The construct can also
be provided with a ``.c`` collection of column elements, allowing
it to be embedded in other SQL expression constructs as a subquery.
Bind parameters are specified by name, using the format ``:name``.
E.g.::
t = text("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id=:user_id")
result = connection.execute(t, user_id=12)
For SQL statements where a colon is required verbatim, as within
an inline string, use a backslash to escape::
t = text("SELECT * FROM users WHERE name='\:username'")
The :class:`_expression.TextClause`
construct includes methods which can
provide information about the bound parameters as well as the column
values which would be returned from the textual statement, assuming
it's an executable SELECT type of statement. The
:meth:`_expression.TextClause.bindparams`
method is used to provide bound
parameter detail, and :meth:`_expression.TextClause.columns`
method allows
specification of return columns including names and types::
t = text("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id=:user_id").\
bindparams(user_id=7).\
columns(id=Integer, name=String)
for id, name in connection.execute(t):
print(id, name)
The :func:`_expression.text` construct is used in cases when
a literal string SQL fragment is specified as part of a larger query,
such as for the WHERE clause of a SELECT statement::
s = select([users.c.id, users.c.name]).where(text("id=:user_id"))
result = connection.execute(s, user_id=12)
:func:`_expression.text` is also used for the construction
of a full, standalone statement using plain text.
As such, SQLAlchemy refers
to it as an :class:`.Executable` object, and it supports
the :meth:`Executable.execution_options` method. For example,
a :func:`_expression.text`
construct that should be subject to "autocommit"
can be set explicitly so using the
:paramref:`.Connection.execution_options.autocommit` option::
t = text("EXEC my_procedural_thing()").\
execution_options(autocommit=True)
Note that SQLAlchemy's usual "autocommit" behavior applies to
:func:`_expression.text` constructs implicitly - that is,
statements which begin
with a phrase such as ``INSERT``, ``UPDATE``, ``DELETE``,
or a variety of other phrases specific to certain backends, will
be eligible for autocommit if no transaction is in progress.
:param text:
the text of the SQL statement to be created. Use ``:<param>``
to specify bind parameters; they will be compiled to their
engine-specific format.
:param autocommit: whether or not to set the "autocommit" execution
option for this :class:`_expression.TextClause` object.
:param bind:
an optional connection or engine to be used for this text query.
:param bindparams:
A list of :func:`.bindparam` instances used to
provide information about parameters embedded in the statement.
E.g.::
stmt = text("SELECT * FROM table WHERE id=:id",
bindparams=[bindparam('id', value=5, type_=Integer)])
:param typemap:
A dictionary mapping the names of columns represented in the columns
clause of a ``SELECT`` statement to type objects.
E.g.::
stmt = text("SELECT * FROM table",
typemap={'id': Integer, 'name': String},

this :class:`_expression.TextClause` construct.
Given a text construct such as::
from sqlalchemy import text
stmt = text("SELECT id, name FROM user WHERE name=:name "
"AND timestamp=:timestamp")
the :meth:`_expression.TextClause.bindparams`
method can be used to establish
the initial value of ``:name`` and ``:timestamp``,
using simple keyword arguments::
stmt = stmt.bindparams(name='jack',
timestamp=datetime.datetime(2012, 10, 8, 15, 12, 5))
Where above, new :class:`.BindParameter` objects
will be generated with the names ``name`` and ``timestamp``, and
values of ``jack`` and ``datetime.datetime(2012, 10, 8, 15, 12, 5)``,
respectively. The types will be
inferred from the values given, in this case :class:`.String` and
:class:`.DateTime`.
When specific typing behavior is needed, the positional ``*binds``
argument can be used in which to specify :func:`.bindparam` constructs
directly. These constructs must include at least the ``key``
argument, then an optional value and type::
from sqlalchemy import bindparam
stmt = stmt.bindparams(
bindparam('name', value='jack', type_=String),
bindparam('timestamp', type_=DateTime)
)
Above, we specified the type of :class:`.DateTime` for the
``timestamp`` bind, and the type of :class:`.String` for the ``name``
bind. In the case of ``name`` we also set the default value of
``"jack"``.
Additional bound parameters can be supplied at statement execution
time, e.g.::
result = connection.execute(stmt,
timestamp=datetime.datetime(2012, 10, 8, 15, 12, 5))
The :meth:`_expression.TextClause.bindparams`
method can be called repeatedly,
where it will re-use existing :class:`.BindParameter` objects to add
new information. For example, we can call
:meth:`_expression.TextClause.bindparams`
first with typing information, and a
second time with value information, and it will be combined::
stmt = text("SELECT id, name FROM user WHERE name=:name "
"AND timestamp=:timestamp")
stmt = stmt.bindparams(
bindparam('name', type_=String),
bindparam('timestamp', type_=DateTime)
)
stmt = stmt.bindparams(
name='jack',
timestamp=datetime.datetime(2012, 10, 8, 15, 12, 5)
)
The :meth:`_expression.TextClause.bindparams`
method also supports the concept of
**unique** bound parameters. These are parameters that are
"uniquified" on name at statement compilation time, so that multiple
:func:`_expression.text`
constructs may be combined together without the names
conflicting. To use this feature, specify the
:paramref:`.BindParameter.unique` flag on each :func:`.bindparam`
object::
stmt1 = text("select id from table where name=:name").bindparams(
bindparam("name", value='name1', unique=True)
)
stmt2 = text("select id from table where name=:name").bindparams(
bindparam("name", value='name2', unique=True)
)
union = union_all(
stmt1.columns(column("id")),
stmt2.columns(column("id"))
)
The above statement will render as::
select id from table where name=:name_1
UNION ALL select id from table where name=:name_2

:paramref:`.BindParameter.unique` flag to work with

This function essentially bridges the gap between an entirely
textual SELECT statement and the SQL expression language concept
of a "selectable"::
from sqlalchemy.sql import column, text
stmt = text("SELECT id, name FROM some_table")
stmt = stmt.columns(column('id'), column('name')).alias('st')
stmt = select([mytable]).\
select_from(
mytable.join(stmt, mytable.c.name == stmt.c.name)
).where(stmt.c.id > 5)
Above, we pass a series of :func:`_expression.column` elements to the
:meth:`_expression.TextClause.columns` method positionally. These
:func:`_expression.column`
elements now become first class elements upon the :attr:`.TextAsFrom.c`
column collection, just like any other selectable.
The column expressions we pass to
:meth:`_expression.TextClause.columns` may
also be typed; when we do so, these :class:`.TypeEngine` objects become
the effective return type of the column, so that SQLAlchemy's
result-set-processing systems may be used on the return values.
This is often needed for types such as date or boolean types, as well
as for unicode processing on some dialect configurations::
stmt = text("SELECT id, name, timestamp FROM some_table")
stmt = stmt.columns(
column('id', Integer),
column('name', Unicode),
column('timestamp', DateTime)
)
for id, name, timestamp in connection.execute(stmt):
print(id, name, timestamp)
As a shortcut to the above syntax, keyword arguments referring to
types alone may be used, if only type conversion is needed::
stmt = text("SELECT id, name, timestamp FROM some_table")
stmt = stmt.columns(
id=Integer,
name=Unicode,
timestamp=DateTime
)
for id, name, timestamp in connection.execute(stmt):
print(id, name, timestamp)
The positional form of :meth:`_expression.TextClause.columns`
also provides the
unique feature of **positional column targeting**, which is
particularly useful when using the ORM with complex textual queries. If
we specify the columns from our model to
:meth:`_expression.TextClause.columns`,
the result set will match to those columns positionally, meaning the
name or origin of the column in the textual SQL doesn't matter::
stmt = text("SELECT users.id, addresses.id, users.id, "
"users.name, addresses.email_address AS email "
"FROM users JOIN addresses ON users.id=addresses.user_id "
"WHERE users.id = 1").columns(
User.id,
Address.id,
Address.user_id,
User.name,
Address.email_address
)
query = session.query(User).from_statement(stmt).options(
contains_eager(User.addresses))
.. versionadded:: 1.1 the :meth:`_expression.TextClause.columns`
method now
offers positional column targeting in the result set when
the column expressions are passed purely positionally.
The :meth:`_expression.TextClause.columns` method provides a direct
route to calling :meth:`_expression.FromClause.alias` as well as
:meth:`_expression.SelectBase.cte`
against a textual SELECT statement::
stmt = stmt.columns(id=Integer, name=String).cte('st')
stmt = select([sometable]).where(sometable.c.id == stmt.c.id)
.. versionadded:: 0.9.0 :func:`_expression.text`

The ``CASE`` construct in SQL is a conditional object that

languages. It returns an instance of :class:`.Case`.
:func:`.case` in its usual form is passed a list of "when"
constructs, that is, a list of conditions and results as tuples::
from sqlalchemy import case

WHEN (name = :name_2) THEN :param_2
ELSE :param_3
END
When simple equality expressions of several values against a single
parent column are needed, :func:`.case` also has a "shorthand" format
used via the
:paramref:`.case.value` parameter, which is passed a column
expression to be compared. In this form, the :paramref:`.case.whens`
parameter is passed as a dictionary containing expressions to be
compared against keyed to result expressions. The statement below is
equivalent to the preceding statement::

:paramref:`.case.whens` as well as with :paramref:`.case.else_` are
coerced from Python literals into :func:`.bindparam` constructs.
SQL expressions, e.g. :class:`_expression.ColumnElement` constructs,
are accepted

expression rendered inline, use the :func:`_expression.literal_column`
construct,
as in::

literal_column("'greaterthan100'")
),
(
orderline.c.qty > 10,
literal_column("'greaterthan10'")
)
],
else_=literal_column("'lessthan10'")
)
The above will render the given constants without using bound
parameters for the result values (but still for the comparison
values), as in::
CASE
WHEN (orderline.qty > :qty_1) THEN 'greaterthan100'
WHEN (orderline.qty > :qty_2) THEN 'greaterthan10'
ELSE 'lessthan10'
END
:param whens: The criteria to be compared against,

consists of ``(<sql expression>, <value>)``, where the SQL
expression is a boolean expression and "value" is a resulting value,
e.g.::
case([
(users_table.c.name == 'wendy', 'W'),
(users_table.c.name == 'jack', 'J')
])
In the second form, it accepts a Python dictionary of comparison
values mapped to a resulting value; this form requires
:paramref:`.case.value` to be present, and values will be compared
using the ``==`` operator, e.g.::
case(
{"wendy": "W", "jack": "J"},
value=users_table.c.name
)
:param value: An optional SQL expression which will be used as a
fixed "comparison point" for candidate values within a dictionary

so in that sense is a "lightweight"

The :class:`.ColumnClause` is a lightweight analogue to the
:class:`_schema.Column` class. The :func:`_expression.column`
function can
be invoked with just a name alone, as in::
from sqlalchemy import column
id, name = column("id"), column("name")
stmt = select([id, name]).select_from("user")
The above statement would produce SQL like::
SELECT id, name FROM user
Once constructed, :func:`_expression.column`
may be used like any other SQL
expression element such as within :func:`_expression.select`
constructs::
from sqlalchemy.sql import column
id, name = column("id"), column("name")
stmt = select([id, name]).select_from("user")
The text handled by :func:`_expression.column`
is assumed to be handled
like the name of a database column; if the string contains mixed case,
special characters, or matches a known reserved word on the target
backend, the column expression will render using the quoting
behavior determined by the backend. To produce a textual SQL
expression that is rendered exactly without any quoting,
use :func:`_expression.literal_column` instead,
or pass ``True`` as the
value of :paramref:`_expression.column.is_literal`. Additionally,
full SQL
statements are best handled using the :func:`_expression.text`
construct.
:func:`_expression.column` can be used in a table-like
fashion by combining it with the :func:`.table` function
(which is the lightweight analogue to :class:`_schema.Table`
) to produce
a working table construct with minimal boilerplate::
from sqlalchemy import table, column, select
user = table("user",
column("id"),
column("name"),
column("description"),
)
stmt = select([user.c.description]).where(user.c.name == 'wendy')
A :func:`_expression.column` / :func:`.table`
construct like that illustrated
above can be created in an
ad-hoc fashion and is not associated with any
:class:`_schema.MetaData`, DDL, or events, unlike its
:class:`_schema.Table` counterpart.

be imported from the plain ``sqlalchemy`` namespace like any
other SQL element.

:param type: :class:`_types.TypeEngine` object which can associate
this :class:`.ColumnClause` with a type.
:param is_literal: if True, the :class:`.ColumnClause` is assumed to
be an exact expression that will be delivered to the output with no
quoting rules applied regardless of case sensitive settings. the
:func:`_expression.literal_column()` function essentially invokes

"""Represent a SQL identifier combined with quoting preferences.
:class:`.quoted_name` is a Python unicode/str subclass which
represents a particular identifier name along with a
``quote`` flag. This ``quote`` flag, when set to
``True`` or ``False``, overrides automatic quoting behavior
for this identifier in order to either unconditionally quote
or to not quote the name. If left at its default of ``None``,
quoting behavior is applied to the identifier on a per-backend basis
based on an examination of the token itself.
A :class:`.quoted_name` object with ``quote=True`` is also
prevented from being modified in the case of a so-called
"name normalize" option. Certain database backends, such as
Oracle, Firebird, and DB2 "normalize" case-insensitive names
as uppercase. The SQLAlchemy dialects for these backends
convert from SQLAlchemy's lower-case-means-insensitive convention
to the upper-case-means-insensitive conventions of those backends.
The ``quote=True`` flag here will prevent this conversion from occurring
to support an identifier that's quoted as all lower case against
such a backend.
The :class:`.quoted_name` object is normally created automatically
when specifying the name for key schema constructs such as
:class:`_schema.Table`, :class:`_schema.Column`, and others.
The class can also be
passed explicitly as the name to any function that receives a name which
can be quoted. Such as to use the :meth:`_engine.Engine.has_table`
method with
an unconditionally quoted name::
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.sql import quoted_name
engine = create_engine("oracle+cx_oracle://some_dsn")
engine.has_table(quoted_name("some_table", True))
The above logic will run the "has table" logic against the Oracle backend,
passing the name exactly as ``"some_table"`` without converting to
upper case.

.. versionchanged:: 1.2 The :class:`.quoted_name` construct is now
importable from ``sqlalchemy.sql``, in addition to the previous
