While the most familiar kind of :class:`.ColumnElement` is the :class:`.Column` object, :class:`.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:`.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:`.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:`.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:`.ColumnElement`. The Python value will ultimately be sent to the DBAPI at execution time as a paramterized 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:`.ColumnElement` expression. The ``__clause_element__()`` method, if present, should return a :class:`.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:`.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:`.ColumnElement` provides the ability to generate new :class:`.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:`.ColumnElement` instances which are composed from other, more fundamental :class:`.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:`.ColumnElement`:: >>> from sqlalchemy.sql import column >>> column('a') + column('b') <sqlalchemy.sql.expression.BinaryExpression object at 0x101029dd0> >>> print column('a') + column('b') a + b .. seealso:: :class:`.Column` :func:`.expression.column` """ __visit_name__ = 'column' primary_key = False foreign_keys = [] _label = None _key_label = key = None _alt_names = () def self_group(self, against=None): if against in (operators.and_, operators.or_, operators._asbool) and \ self.type._type_affinity is type_api.BOOLEANTYPE._type_affinity: return AsBoolean(self, operators.istrue, operators.isfalse) else: return self def _negate(self): if self.type._type_affinity is type_api.BOOLEANTYPE._type_affinity: return AsBoolean(self, operators.isfalse, operators.istrue) else: return super(ColumnElement, self)._negate() @util.memoized_property def type(self): return type_api.NULLTYPE @util.memoized_property def comparator(self): return self.type.comparator_factory(self) def __getattr__(self, key): try: return getattr(self.comparator, key) except AttributeError: raise AttributeError( 'Neither %r object nor %r object has an attribute %r' % ( type(self).__name__, type(self.comparator).__name__, key) ) def operate(self, op, *other, **kwargs): return op(self.comparator, *other, **kwargs) def reverse_operate(self, op, other, **kwargs): return op(other, self.comparator, **kwargs) def _bind_param(self, operator, obj): return BindParameter(None, obj, _compared_to_operator=operator, _compared_to_type=self.type, unique=True) @property def expression(self): """Return a column expression.

The return value is an instance of :class:`.BindParameter`; this is a :class:`.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:`.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` contruct, where the left side is the :class:`.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:`.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:`.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:`.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 autoamtically 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``. .. versionchanged:: 0.8 If the ``required`` flag is not specified, it will be set automatically to ``True`` or ``False`` depending on whether or not the ``value`` or ``callable`` parameters were specified. :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.

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:`.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:`.TextClause.bindparams` method is used to provide bound parameter detail, and :meth:`.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:`.text` construct is used internally in cases when a literal string is specified for part of a larger query, such as when a string is specified to the :meth:`.Select.where` method of :class:`.Select`. In those cases, the same bind parameter syntax is applied:: s = select([users.c.id, users.c.name]).where("id=:user_id") result = connection.execute(s, user_id=12) Using :func:`.text` explicitly usually implies the construction of a full, standalone statement. As such, SQLAlchemy refers to it as an :class:`.Executable` object, and it supports the :meth:`Executable.execution_options` method. For example, a :func:`.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:`.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: Deprecated.

A list of :func:`.bindparam` instances used to provide information about parameters embedded in the statement. This argument now invokes the :meth:`.TextClause.bindparams` method on the construct before returning it.

E.g.:: stmt = text("SELECT * FROM table", typemap={'id': Integer, 'name': String}, ) Is equivalent to:: stmt = text("SELECT * FROM table").columns(id=Integer, name=String) Or alternatively:: from sqlalchemy.sql import column stmt = text("SELECT * FROM table").columns( column('id', Integer), column('name', String) ) .. deprecated:: 0.9.0 the :meth:`.TextClause.columns` method supersedes the ``typemap`` argument to :func:`.text`.

The types will be inferred from the values given, in this case :class:`.String` and :class:`.DateTime`.

The second is that it associates the given type (e.g. :class:`.TypeEngine` class or instance) with the column expression on the Python side, which means the expression will take on the expression operator behavior associated with that type, as well as the bound-value handling and result-row-handling behavior of the type. .. versionchanged:: 0.9.0 :func:`.cast` now applies the given type to the expression such that it takes effect on the bound-value, e.g. the Python-to-database direction, in addition to the result handling, e.g. database-to-Python, direction. An alternative to :func:`.cast` is the :func:`.type_coerce` function. This function performs the second task of associating an expression with a specific type, but does not render the ``CAST`` expression in SQL. :param expression: A SQL expression, such as a :class:`.ColumnElement` expression or a Python string which will be coerced into a bound literal value. :param type_: A :class:`.TypeEngine` class or instance indicating the type to which the ``CAST`` should apply. .. seealso:: :func:`.type_coerce` - Python-side type coercion without emitting CAST.
