Class signature

class ()

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.BindTyping.NONE = 1

  No steps are taken to pass typing information to the database driver.

  This is the default behavior for databases such as SQLite, MySQL / MariaDB, SQL Server.

• attribute RENDER_CASTS = 3

  Render casts or other directives in the SQL string.

  This method is used for all PostgreSQL dialects, including asyncpg, pg8000, psycopg, psycopg2. Dialects which implement this can choose which kinds of datatypes are explicitly cast in SQL statements and which aren’t.

  When RENDER_CASTS is used, the compiler will invoke the SQLCompiler.render_bind_cast() method for each BindParameter object whose dialect-level type sets the attribute.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.BindTyping.SETINPUTSIZES = 2

  Use the pep-249 setinputsizes method.

  This is only implemented for DBAPIs that support this method and for which the SQLAlchemy dialect has the appropriate infrastructure for that dialect set up. Current dialects include cx_Oracle as well as optional support for SQL Server using pyodbc.

  When using setinputsizes, dialects also have a means of only using the method for certain datatypes using include/exclude lists.

  When SETINPUTSIZES is used, the method is called for each statement executed which has bound parameters.

class sqlalchemy.engine.Compiled

Represent a compiled SQL or DDL expression.

Members

__init__(), , compile_state, , dml_compile_state, , params, , state, , string

The __str__ method of the Compiled object should produce the actual text of the statement. Compiled objects are specific to their underlying database dialect, and also may or may not be specific to the columns referenced within a particular set of bind parameters. In no case should the Compiled object be dependent on the actual values of those bind parameters, even though it may reference those values as defaults.

• method __init__(dialect: Dialect, statement: Optional[], schema_translate_map: Optional[SchemaTranslateMapType] = None, render_schema_translate: bool = False, compile_kwargs: Mapping[str, Any] = {})

  Construct a new Compiled object.

  • Parameters:

    • dialect – to compile against.

    • statement – ClauseElement to be compiled.

    • schema_translate_map –

      dictionary of schema names to be translated when forming the resultant SQL

      New in version 1.1.

    • compile_kwargs – additional kwargs that will be passed to the initial call to Compiled.process().

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Compiled.cache_key: Optional[] = None

  The CacheKey that was generated ahead of creating this object.

  This is used for routines that need access to the original CacheKey instance generated when the instance was first cached, typically in order to reconcile the original list of BindParameter objects with a per-statement list that’s generated on each call.

• attribute compile_state: Optional[CompileState] = None

  Optional CompileState object that maintains additional state used by the compiler.

  Major executable objects such as Insert, , Delete, will generate this state when compiled in order to calculate additional information about the object. For the top level object that is to be executed, the state can be stored here where it can also have applicability towards result set processing.

  New in version 1.4.

• method sqlalchemy.engine.Compiled.construct_params(params: Optional[_CoreSingleExecuteParams] = None, extracted_parameters: Optional[[BindParameter[Any]]] = None, escape_names: bool = True) → Optional[_MutableCoreSingleExecuteParams]

  Return the bind params for this compiled object.

  • Parameters:

    params – a dict of string/object pairs whose values will override bind values compiled in to the statement.

• attribute dml_compile_state: Optional[CompileState] = None

  Optional CompileState assigned at the same point that .isinsert, .isupdate, or .isdelete is assigned.

  This will normally be the same object as .compile_state, with the exception of cases like the ORMFromStatementCompileState object.

  New in version 1.4.40.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Compiled.execution_options: _ExecuteOptions = {}

  Execution options propagated from the statement. In some cases, sub-elements of the statement can modify these.

• attribute params

  Return the bind params for this compiled object.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Compiled.sql_compiler

  Return a Compiled that is capable of processing SQL expressions.

  If this compiler is one, it would likely just return ‘self’.

  description of the compiler’s state

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Compiled.statement: Optional[] = None

  The statement to compile.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Compiled.string: str = ‘’

Class signature

class (sqlalchemy.engine.interfaces.Dialect)

• attribute bind_typing = 1

  define a means of passing typing information to the database and/or driver for bound parameters.

  See BindTyping for values.

  New in version 2.0.

• attribute colspecs: MutableMapping[Type[TypeEngine[Any]], Type[[Any]]] = {}

  A dictionary of TypeEngine classes from sqlalchemy.types mapped to subclasses that are specific to the dialect class. This dictionary is class-level only and is not accessed from the dialect instance itself.

• method sqlalchemy.engine.default.DefaultDialect.connect(*cargs, **cparams)

  Establish a connection using this dialect’s DBAPI.

  The default implementation of this method is:

  The *cargs, **cparams parameters are generated directly from this dialect’s method.

  This method may be used for dialects that need to perform programmatic per-connection steps when a new connection is procured from the DBAPI.

  • Parameters:

    • *cargs – positional parameters returned from the Dialect.create_connect_args() method

    • **cparams – keyword parameters returned from the method.

    Returns:

    a DBAPI connection, typically from the PEP 249 module level .connect() function.

  See also

  Dialect.on_connect()

• attribute construct_arguments: Optional[List[Tuple[Type[Union[, ClauseElement]], Mapping[str, Any]]]] = None

  inherited from the Dialect.construct_arguments attribute of

  Optional set of argument specifiers for various SQLAlchemy constructs, typically schema items.

  To implement, establish as a series of tuples, as in:

  construct_arguments = [
      (schema.Index, {
          "using": False,
          "where": None,
          "ops": None
      })
  ]

  If the above construct is established on the PostgreSQL dialect, the Index construct will now accept the keyword arguments postgresql_using, postgresql_where, nad postgresql_ops. Any other argument specified to the constructor of which is prefixed with postgresql_ will raise ArgumentError.

  A dialect which does not include a construct_arguments member will not participate in the argument validation system. For such a dialect, any argument name is accepted by all participating constructs, within the namespace of arguments prefixed with that dialect name. The rationale here is so that third-party dialects that haven’t yet implemented this feature continue to function in the old way.

  New in version 0.9.2.

  - implementing base class which consumes DefaultDialect.construct_arguments

• method create_connect_args(url)

  Build DB-API compatible connection arguments.

  Given a URL object, returns a tuple consisting of a (*args, **kwargs) suitable to send directly to the dbapi’s connect function. The arguments are sent to the method which then runs the DBAPI-level connect() function.

  The method typically makes use of the URL.translate_connect_args() method in order to generate a dictionary of options.

  The default implementation is:

  def create_connect_args(self, url):
      opts = url.translate_connect_args()
      opts.update(url.query)
      return [[], opts]

  • Parameters:

    url – a object

    Returns:

    a tuple of (*args, **kwargs) which will be passed to the Dialect.connect() method.

  See also

• method sqlalchemy.engine.default.DefaultDialect.create_xid()

  Create a random two-phase transaction ID.

  This id will be passed to do_begin_twophase(), do_rollback_twophase(), do_commit_twophase(). Its format is unspecified.

• attribute cte_follows_insert: bool = False

  target database, when given a CTE with an INSERT statement, needs the CTE to be below the INSERT

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.default.DefaultDialect.dbapi: Optional[ModuleType]

  A reference to the DBAPI module object itself.

  SQLAlchemy dialects import DBAPI modules using the classmethod . The rationale is so that any dialect module can be imported and used to generate SQL statements without the need for the actual DBAPI driver to be installed. Only when an Engine is constructed using does the DBAPI get imported; at that point, the creation process will assign the DBAPI module to this attribute.

  Dialects should therefore implement Dialect.import_dbapi() which will import the necessary module and return it, and then refer to self.dbapi in dialect code in order to refer to the DBAPI module contents.

  Changed in version The: attribute is exclusively used as the per-Dialect-instance reference to the DBAPI module. The previous not-fully-documented .Dialect.dbapi() classmethod is deprecated and replaced by .

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.default.DefaultDialect.dbapi_exception_translation_map: Mapping[str, str] = {}

  inherited from the Dialect.dbapi_exception_translation_map attribute of

  A dictionary of names that will contain as values the names of pep-249 exceptions (“IntegrityError”, “OperationalError”, etc) keyed to alternate class names, to support the case where a DBAPI has exception classes that aren’t named as they are referred to (e.g. IntegrityError = MyException).

• method get_isolation_level_values(dbapi_conn: DBAPIConnection) → List[Literal[‘SERIALIZABLE’, ‘REPEATABLE READ’, ‘READ COMMITTED’, ‘READ UNCOMMITTED’, ‘AUTOCOMMIT’]]

  inherited from the Dialect.get_isolation_level_values() method of

  return a sequence of string isolation level names that are accepted by this dialect.

  The available names should use the following conventions:

  • use UPPERCASE names. isolation level methods will accept lowercase names but these are normalized into UPPERCASE before being passed along to the dialect.

  • separate words should be separated by spaces, not underscores, e.g. REPEATABLE READ. isolation level names will have underscores converted to spaces before being passed along to the dialect.

  • The names for the four standard isolation names to the extent that they are supported by the backend should be READ UNCOMMITTED READ COMMITTED, REPEATABLE READ, SERIALIZABLE

  • if the dialect supports an autocommit option it should be provided using the isolation level name AUTOCOMMIT.

  • Other isolation modes may also be present, provided that they are named in UPPERCASE and use spaces not underscores.

  This function is used so that the default dialect can check that a given isolation level parameter is valid, else raises an ArgumentError.

  A DBAPI connection is passed to the method, in the unlikely event that the dialect needs to interrogate the connection itself to determine this list, however it is expected that most backends will return a hardcoded list of values. If the dialect supports “AUTOCOMMIT”, that value should also be present in the sequence returned.

  The method raises NotImplementedError by default. If a dialect does not implement this method, then the default dialect will not perform any checking on a given isolation level value before passing it onto the method. This is to allow backwards-compatibility with third party dialects that may not yet be implementing this method.

  For internal dialect use, check the existence of a particular table or view in the database.

  Given a object, a string table_name and optional schema name, return True if the given table exists in the database, False otherwise.

  This method serves as the underlying implementation of the public facing Inspector.has_table() method, and is also used internally to implement the “checkfirst” behavior for methods like and MetaData.create_all().

  Note

  Changed in version 2.0::: now formally supports checking for additional table-like objects:

  • any type of views (plain or materialized)

  • temporary tables of any kind

  Previously, these two checks were not formally specified and different dialects would vary in their behavior. The dialect testing suite now includes tests for all of these object types, and dialects to the degree that the backing database supports views or temporary tables should seek to support locating these objects for full compliance.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.default.DefaultDialect.has_terminate: bool = False

  Whether or not this dialect has a separate “terminate” implementation that does not block or require awaiting.

• attribute identifier_preparer: IdentifierPreparer

  This element will refer to an instance of once a DefaultDialect has been constructed.

  inherited from the Dialect.import_dbapi() method of Dialect

  Import the DBAPI module that is used by this dialect.

  The Python module object returned here will be assigned as an instance variable to a constructed dialect under the name .dbapi.

  Changed in version 2.0: The class method is renamed from the previous method .Dialect.dbapi(), which would be replaced at dialect instantiation time by the DBAPI module itself, thus using the same name in two different ways. If a .Dialect.dbapi() classmethod is present on a third-party dialect, it will be used and a deprecation warning will be emitted.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.default.DefaultDialect.include_set_input_sizes: Optional[Set[Any]] = None

  set of DBAPI type objects that should be included in automatic cursor.setinputsizes() calls.

  This is only used if bind_typing is BindTyping.SET_INPUT_SIZES

  Allows dialects to configure options based on server version info or other properties.

  The connection passed here is a SQLAlchemy Connection object, with full capabilities.

  The initialize() method of the base dialect should be called via super().

  Note

  as of SQLAlchemy 1.4, this method is called before any Dialect.on_connect() hooks are called.

• attribute inline_comments: bool = False

  Indicates the dialect supports comment DDL that’s inline with the definition of a Table or Column. If False, this implies that ALTER must be used to set table and column comments.

  optional user-defined max length for SQL labels

• classmethod load_provisioning()

  set up the provision.py module for this dialect.

  For dialects that include a provision.py module that sets up provisioning followers, this method should initiate that process.

  A typical implementation would be:

  @classmethod
      __import__("mydialect.provision")

  The default method assumes a module named provision.py inside the owning package of the current dialect, based on the __module__ attribute:

  @classmethod
  def load_provisioning(cls):
      package = ".".join(cls.__module__.split(".")[0:-1])
      try:
          __import__(package + ".provision")

  identifying name for the dialect from a DBAPI-neutral point of view (i.e. ‘sqlite’)

• method normalize_name(name)

  convert the given name to lowercase if it is detected as case insensitive.

  This method is only used if the dialect defines requires_name_normalize=True.

• method sqlalchemy.engine.default.DefaultDialect.on_connect()

  return a callable which sets up a newly created DBAPI connection.

  The callable should accept a single argument “conn” which is the DBAPI connection itself. The inner callable has no return value.

  E.g.:

  This is used to set dialect-wide per-connection options such as isolation modes, Unicode modes, etc.

  The “do_on_connect” callable is invoked by using the event hook, then unwrapping the DBAPI connection and passing it into the callable.

  Changed in version 1.4: the on_connect hook is no longer called twice for the first connection of a dialect. The on_connect hook is still called before the Dialect.initialize() method however.

  Changed in version 1.4.3: the on_connect hook is invoked from a new method on_connect_url that passes the URL that was used to create the connect args. Dialects can implement on_connect_url instead of on_connect if they need the URL object that was used for the connection in order to get additional context.

  If None is returned, no event listener is generated.

  • Returns:

    a callable that accepts a single DBAPI connection as an argument, or None.

  See also

  - allows the DBAPI connect() sequence itself to be controlled.

  Dialect.on_connect_url() - supersedes to also receive the URL object in context.

• method on_connect_url(url: URL) → Optional[Callable[[Any], Any]]

  inherited from the Dialect.on_connect_url() method of

  return a callable which sets up a newly created DBAPI connection.

  This method is a new hook that supersedes the Dialect.on_connect() method when implemented by a dialect. When not implemented by a dialect, it invokes the method directly to maintain compatibility with existing dialects. There is no deprecation for Dialect.on_connect() expected.

  The callable should accept a single argument “conn” which is the DBAPI connection itself. The inner callable has no return value.

  E.g.:

  class MyDialect(default.DefaultDialect):
      # ...
      def on_connect_url(self, url):
          def do_on_connect(connection):
              connection.execute("SET SPECIAL FLAGS etc")
          return do_on_connect

  This is used to set dialect-wide per-connection options such as isolation modes, Unicode modes, etc.

  This method differs from in that it is passed the URL object that’s relevant to the connect args. Normally the only way to get this is from the hook is to look on the Engine itself, however this URL object may have been replaced by plugins.

  Note

  The default implementation of is to invoke the Dialect.on_connect() method. Therefore if a dialect implements this method, the method will not be called unless the overriding dialect calls it directly from here.

  New in version 1.4.3: added Dialect.on_connect_url() which normally calls into .

  • Parameters:

    url – a URL object representing the that was passed to the Dialect.create_connect_args() method.

    Returns:

    a callable that accepts a single DBAPI connection as an argument, or None.

  inherited from the Dialect.set_isolation_level() method of Dialect

  Given a DBAPI connection, set its isolation level.

  Note that this is a dialect-level method which is used as part of the implementation of the and Engine isolation level facilities; these APIs should be preferred for most typical use cases.

  If the dialect also implements the method, then the given level is guaranteed to be one of the string names within that sequence, and the method will not need to anticipate a lookup failure.

• attribute use_insertmanyvalues: bool = False

  if True, indicates “insertmanyvalues” functionality should be used to allow for insert_executemany_returning behavior, if possible.

  In practice, setting this to True means:

  if supports_multivalues_insert, insert_returning and use_insertmanyvalues are all True, the SQL compiler will produce an INSERT that will be interpreted by the DefaultDialect as an ExecuteStyle.INSERTMANYVALUES execution that allows for INSERT of many rows with RETURNING by rewriting a single-row INSERT statement to have multiple VALUES clauses, also executing the statement multiple times for a series of batches when large numbers of rows are given.

  The parameter is False for the default dialect, and is set to True for SQLAlchemy internal dialects SQLite, MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQL Server. It remains at False for Oracle, which provides native “executemany with RETURNING” support and also does not support supports_multivalues_insert. For MySQL/MariaDB, those MySQL dialects that don’t support RETURNING will not report insert_executemany_returning as True.

The Dialect acts as a factory for other database-specific object implementations including ExecutionContext, Compiled, DefaultGenerator, and TypeEngine.

Note

Third party dialects should not subclass directly. Instead, subclass DefaultDialect or descendant class.

Class signature

class (sqlalchemy.event.registry.EventTarget)

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.bind_typing = 1

  define a means of passing typing information to the database and/or driver for bound parameters.

  See for values.

  New in version 2.0.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.colspecs: MutableMapping[Type[[Any]], Type[TypeEngine[Any]]]

  A dictionary of TypeEngine classes from sqlalchemy.types mapped to subclasses that are specific to the dialect class. This dictionary is class-level only and is not accessed from the dialect instance itself.

• method connect(*cargs: Any, **cparams: Any) → DBAPIConnection

  Establish a connection using this dialect’s DBAPI.

  The default implementation of this method is:

  def connect(self, *cargs, **cparams):
      return self.dbapi.connect(*cargs, **cparams)

  The *cargs, **cparams parameters are generated directly from this dialect’s method.

  This method may be used for dialects that need to perform programmatic per-connection steps when a new connection is procured from the DBAPI.

  • Parameters:

    • *cargs – positional parameters returned from the Dialect.create_connect_args() method

    • **cparams – keyword parameters returned from the method.

    Returns:

    a DBAPI connection, typically from the PEP 249 module level .connect() function.

  See also

  Dialect.on_connect()

• attribute construct_arguments: Optional[List[Tuple[Type[Union[, ClauseElement]], Mapping[str, Any]]]] = None

  Optional set of argument specifiers for various SQLAlchemy constructs, typically schema items.

  To implement, establish as a series of tuples, as in:

  construct_arguments = [
      (schema.Index, {
          "using": False,
          "where": None,
          "ops": None
      })
  ]

  If the above construct is established on the PostgreSQL dialect, the construct will now accept the keyword arguments postgresql_using, postgresql_where, nad postgresql_ops. Any other argument specified to the constructor of Index which is prefixed with postgresql_ will raise .

  A dialect which does not include a construct_arguments member will not participate in the argument validation system. For such a dialect, any argument name is accepted by all participating constructs, within the namespace of arguments prefixed with that dialect name. The rationale here is so that third-party dialects that haven’t yet implemented this feature continue to function in the old way.

  New in version 0.9.2.

• method sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.create_connect_args(url: ) → ConnectArgsType

  Build DB-API compatible connection arguments.

  Given a URL object, returns a tuple consisting of a (*args, **kwargs) suitable to send directly to the dbapi’s connect function. The arguments are sent to the method which then runs the DBAPI-level connect() function.

  The method typically makes use of the URL.translate_connect_args() method in order to generate a dictionary of options.

  The default implementation is:

  def create_connect_args(self, url):
      opts = url.translate_connect_args()
      opts.update(url.query)
      return [[], opts]

  • Parameters:

    url – a object

    Returns:

    a tuple of (*args, **kwargs) which will be passed to the Dialect.connect() method.

• method sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.create_xid() → Any

  Create a two-phase transaction ID.

  This id will be passed to do_begin_twophase(), do_rollback_twophase(), do_commit_twophase(). Its format is unspecified.

• attribute cte_follows_insert: bool

  target database, when given a CTE with an INSERT statement, needs the CTE to be below the INSERT

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.dbapi: Optional[ModuleType]

  A reference to the DBAPI module object itself.

  SQLAlchemy dialects import DBAPI modules using the classmethod . The rationale is so that any dialect module can be imported and used to generate SQL statements without the need for the actual DBAPI driver to be installed. Only when an Engine is constructed using does the DBAPI get imported; at that point, the creation process will assign the DBAPI module to this attribute.

  Dialects should therefore implement Dialect.import_dbapi() which will import the necessary module and return it, and then refer to self.dbapi in dialect code in order to refer to the DBAPI module contents.

  Changed in version The: attribute is exclusively used as the per-Dialect-instance reference to the DBAPI module. The previous not-fully-documented .Dialect.dbapi() classmethod is deprecated and replaced by .

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.dbapi_exception_translation_map: Mapping[str, str] = {}

  A dictionary of names that will contain as values the names of pep-249 exceptions (“IntegrityError”, “OperationalError”, etc) keyed to alternate class names, to support the case where a DBAPI has exception classes that aren’t named as they are referred to (e.g. IntegrityError = MyException).

  This method may only raise NotImplementedError and must not raise any other exception, as it is used implicitly upon first connect.

  The method must return a value for a dialect that supports isolation level settings, as this level is what will be reverted towards when a per-connection isolation level change is made.

  The method defaults to using the method unless overridden by a dialect.

  New in version 1.3.22.

  New in version 1.0.3.

• method sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.get_dialect_pool_class(url: ) → Type[Pool]

  return a Pool class to use for a given URL

• method get_driver_connection(connection: DBAPIConnection) → Any

  Returns the connection object as returned by the external driver package.

  When working with a Connection object, the corresponding DBAPI connection may be procured using the accessor.

  Note that this is a dialect-level method which is used as part of the implementation of the Connection and isolation level facilities; these APIs should be preferred for most typical use cases.

• method sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.get_isolation_level_values(dbapi_conn: ) → List[Literal[‘SERIALIZABLE’, ‘REPEATABLE READ’, ‘READ COMMITTED’, ‘READ UNCOMMITTED’, ‘AUTOCOMMIT’]]

  return a sequence of string isolation level names that are accepted by this dialect.

  The available names should use the following conventions:

  • use UPPERCASE names. isolation level methods will accept lowercase names but these are normalized into UPPERCASE before being passed along to the dialect.

  • separate words should be separated by spaces, not underscores, e.g. REPEATABLE READ. isolation level names will have underscores converted to spaces before being passed along to the dialect.

  • The names for the four standard isolation names to the extent that they are supported by the backend should be READ UNCOMMITTED READ COMMITTED, REPEATABLE READ, SERIALIZABLE

  • if the dialect supports an autocommit option it should be provided using the isolation level name AUTOCOMMIT.

  • Other isolation modes may also be present, provided that they are named in UPPERCASE and use spaces not underscores.

  This function is used so that the default dialect can check that a given isolation level parameter is valid, else raises an ArgumentError.

  A DBAPI connection is passed to the method, in the unlikely event that the dialect needs to interrogate the connection itself to determine this list, however it is expected that most backends will return a hardcoded list of values. If the dialect supports “AUTOCOMMIT”, that value should also be present in the sequence returned.

  The method raises NotImplementedError by default. If a dialect does not implement this method, then the default dialect will not perform any checking on a given isolation level value before passing it onto the method. This is to allow backwards-compatibility with third party dialects that may not yet be implementing this method.

  This is an internal dialect method. Applications should use Inspector.get_view_names().

  • Parameters:

    schema – schema name to query, if not the default schema.

• method has_index(connection: Connection, table_name: str, index_name: str, schema: Optional[str] = None, **kw: Any) → bool

  Check the existence of a particular index name in the database.

  Given a object, a string table_name and string index name, return True if an index of the given name on the given table exists, False otherwise.

  The DefaultDialect implements this in terms of the and Dialect.get_indexes() methods, however dialects can implement a more performant version.

  This is an internal dialect method. Applications should use Inspector.has_index().

  New in version 1.4.

• method has_schema(connection: Connection, schema_name: str, **kw: Any) → bool

  Check the existence of a particular schema name in the database.

  Given a object, a string schema_name, return True if a schema of the given exists, False otherwise.

  The DefaultDialect implements this by checking the presence of schema_name among the schemas returned by , however dialects can implement a more performant version.

  This is an internal dialect method. Applications should use Inspector.has_schema().

  New in version 2.0.

• method sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.has_sequence(connection: , sequence_name: str, schema: Optional[str] = None, **kw: Any) → bool

  Check the existence of a particular sequence in the database.

  Given a Connection object and a string sequence_name, return True if the given sequence exists in the database, False otherwise.

  This is an internal dialect method. Applications should use Inspector.has_sequence().

• method has_table(connection: Connection, table_name: str, schema: Optional[str] = None, **kw: Any) → bool

  For internal dialect use, check the existence of a particular table or view in the database.

  Given a object, a string table_name and optional schema name, return True if the given table exists in the database, False otherwise.

  This method serves as the underlying implementation of the public facing Inspector.has_table() method, and is also used internally to implement the “checkfirst” behavior for methods like and MetaData.create_all().

  Note

  This method is used internally by SQLAlchemy, and is published so that third-party dialects may provide an implementation. It is not the public API for checking for table presence. Please use the method.

  Changed in version 2.0::: Dialect.has_table() now formally supports checking for additional table-like objects:

  • any type of views (plain or materialized)

  • temporary tables of any kind

  Previously, these two checks were not formally specified and different dialects would vary in their behavior. The dialect testing suite now includes tests for all of these object types, and dialects to the degree that the backing database supports views or temporary tables should seek to support locating these objects for full compliance.

• attribute has_terminate: bool

  Whether or not this dialect has a separate “terminate” implementation that does not block or require awaiting.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.identifier_preparer:

• classmethod sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.import_dbapi() → module

  Import the DBAPI module that is used by this dialect.

  The Python module object returned here will be assigned as an instance variable to a constructed dialect under the name .dbapi.

  Changed in version 2.0: The class method is renamed from the previous method .Dialect.dbapi(), which would be replaced at dialect instantiation time by the DBAPI module itself, thus using the same name in two different ways. If a .Dialect.dbapi() classmethod is present on a third-party dialect, it will be used and a deprecation warning will be emitted.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.include_set_input_sizes: Optional[Set[Any]]

  set of DBAPI type objects that should be included in automatic cursor.setinputsizes() calls.

  This is only used if bind_typing is BindTyping.SET_INPUT_SIZES

• method initialize(connection: Connection) → None

  Called during strategized creation of the dialect with a connection.

  Allows dialects to configure options based on server version info or other properties.

  The connection passed here is a SQLAlchemy Connection object, with full capabilities.

  The initialize() method of the base dialect should be called via super().

  Note

  as of SQLAlchemy 1.4, this method is called before any hooks are called.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.insert_executemany_returning: bool

  dialect / driver / database supports some means of providing INSERT…RETURNING support when dialect.do_executemany() is used.

• attribute insert_returning: bool

  if the dialect supports RETURNING with INSERT

  New in version 2.0.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.insertmanyvalues_max_parameters: int

  Alternate to insertmanyvalues_page_size, will additionally limit page size based on number of parameters total in the statement.

• attribute insertmanyvalues_page_size: int

  Number of rows to render into an individual INSERT..VALUES() statement for ExecuteStyle.INSERTMANYVALUES executions.

  The default dialect defaults this to 1000.

  New in version 2.0.

  See also

  Connection.execution_options.insertmanyvalues_page_size - execution option available on , statements

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.is_async: bool

  Whether or not this dialect is intended for asyncio use.

• method is_disconnect(e: Exception, connection: Optional[Union[PoolProxiedConnection, ]], cursor: Optional[DBAPICursor]) → bool

  Return True if the given DB-API error indicates an invalid connection

• attribute label_length: Optional[int]

  optional user-defined max length for SQL labels

• classmethod sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.load_provisioning() → None

  set up the provision.py module for this dialect.

  For dialects that include a provision.py module that sets up provisioning followers, this method should initiate that process.

  A typical implementation would be:

  The default method assumes a module named provision.py inside the owning package of the current dialect, based on the __module__ attribute:

  @classmethod
  def load_provisioning(cls):
      package = ".".join(cls.__module__.split(".")[0:-1])
      try:
          __import__(package + ".provision")
      except ImportError:
          pass

  New in version 1.3.14.

• attribute loaded_dbapi

  same as .dbapi, but is never None; will raise an error if no DBAPI was set up.

  New in version 2.0.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.max_identifier_length: int

  The maximum length of identifier names.

• attribute name: str

  identifying name for the dialect from a DBAPI-neutral point of view (i.e. ‘sqlite’)

• method sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.normalize_name(name: str) → str

  convert the given name to lowercase if it is detected as case insensitive.

  This method is only used if the dialect defines requires_name_normalize=True.

• method on_connect() → Optional[Callable[[Any], Any]]

  return a callable which sets up a newly created DBAPI connection.

  The callable should accept a single argument “conn” which is the DBAPI connection itself. The inner callable has no return value.

  E.g.:

  class MyDialect(default.DefaultDialect):
      # ...
      def on_connect(self):
          def do_on_connect(connection):
              connection.execute("SET SPECIAL FLAGS etc")
          return do_on_connect

  This is used to set dialect-wide per-connection options such as isolation modes, Unicode modes, etc.

  The “do_on_connect” callable is invoked by using the PoolEvents.connect() event hook, then unwrapping the DBAPI connection and passing it into the callable.

  Changed in version 1.4: the on_connect hook is no longer called twice for the first connection of a dialect. The on_connect hook is still called before the method however.

  Changed in version 1.4.3: the on_connect hook is invoked from a new method on_connect_url that passes the URL that was used to create the connect args. Dialects can implement on_connect_url instead of on_connect if they need the URL object that was used for the connection in order to get additional context.

  If None is returned, no event listener is generated.

  • Returns:

    a callable that accepts a single DBAPI connection as an argument, or None.

  See also

  Dialect.connect() - allows the DBAPI connect() sequence itself to be controlled.

  - supersedes Dialect.on_connect() to also receive the object in context.

• method sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.on_connect_url(url: ) → Optional[Callable[[Any], Any]]

  return a callable which sets up a newly created DBAPI connection.

  This method is a new hook that supersedes the Dialect.on_connect() method when implemented by a dialect. When not implemented by a dialect, it invokes the method directly to maintain compatibility with existing dialects. There is no deprecation for Dialect.on_connect() expected.

  The callable should accept a single argument “conn” which is the DBAPI connection itself. The inner callable has no return value.

  E.g.:

  class MyDialect(default.DefaultDialect):
      # ...
      def on_connect_url(self, url):
          def do_on_connect(connection):
              connection.execute("SET SPECIAL FLAGS etc")
          return do_on_connect

  This is used to set dialect-wide per-connection options such as isolation modes, Unicode modes, etc.

  This method differs from in that it is passed the URL object that’s relevant to the connect args. Normally the only way to get this is from the hook is to look on the Engine itself, however this URL object may have been replaced by plugins.

  Note

  The default implementation of is to invoke the Dialect.on_connect() method. Therefore if a dialect implements this method, the method will not be called unless the overriding dialect calls it directly from here.

  New in version 1.4.3: added Dialect.on_connect_url() which normally calls into .

  • Parameters:

    url – a URL object representing the that was passed to the Dialect.create_connect_args() method.

    Returns:

    a callable that accepts a single DBAPI connection as an argument, or None.

  True if the paramstyle for this Dialect is positional.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.preexecute_autoincrement_sequences: bool

  True if ‘implicit’ primary key functions must be executed separately in order to get their value, if RETURNING is not used.

  This is currently oriented towards PostgreSQL when the implicit_returning=False parameter is used on a object.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.preparer: Type[]

  a IdentifierPreparer class used to quote identifiers.

• attribute reflection_options: Sequence[str] = ()

  Sequence of string names indicating keyword arguments that can be established on a object which will be passed as “reflection options” when using Table.autoload_with.

  Current example is “oracle_resolve_synonyms” in the Oracle dialect.

• method reset_isolation_level(dbapi_connection: DBAPIConnection) → None

  Given a DBAPI connection, revert its isolation to the default.

  Note that this is a dialect-level method which is used as part of the implementation of the and Engine isolation level facilities; these APIs should be preferred for most typical use cases.

  See also

  - view current level

  Connection.default_isolation_level - view default level

  - set per Connection isolation level

• attribute sequences_optional: bool

  If True, indicates if the Sequence.optional parameter on the construct should signal to not generate a CREATE SEQUENCE. Applies only to dialects that support sequences. Currently used only to allow PostgreSQL SERIAL to be used on a column that specifies Sequence() for usage on other backends.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.server_side_cursors: bool

  deprecated; indicates if the dialect should attempt to use server side cursors by default

• attribute server_version_info: Optional[Tuple[Any, …]]

  a tuple containing a version number for the DB backend in use.

  This value is only available for supporting dialects, and is typically populated during the initial connection to the database.

• method set_connection_execution_options(connection: Connection, opts: CoreExecuteOptionsParameter) → None

  Establish execution options for a given connection.

  This is implemented by in order to implement the Connection.execution_options.isolation_level execution option. Dialects can intercept various execution options which may need to modify state on a particular DBAPI connection.

  New in version 1.4.

• method set_engine_execution_options(engine: Engine, opts: CoreExecuteOptionsParameter) → None

  Establish execution options for a given engine.

  This is implemented by to establish event hooks for new Connection instances created by the given which will then invoke the Dialect.set_connection_execution_options() method for that connection.

• method set_isolation_level(dbapi_connection: DBAPIConnection, level: Literal[‘SERIALIZABLE’, ‘REPEATABLE READ’, ‘READ COMMITTED’, ‘READ UNCOMMITTED’, ‘AUTOCOMMIT’]) → None

  Given a DBAPI connection, set its isolation level.

  Note that this is a dialect-level method which is used as part of the implementation of the and Engine isolation level facilities; these APIs should be preferred for most typical use cases.

  If the dialect also implements the method, then the given level is guaranteed to be one of the string names within that sequence, and the method will not need to anticipate a lookup failure.

  Indicates the dialect supports comment DDL on tables and columns.

• attribute supports_constraint_comments: bool

  Indicates if the dialect supports comment DDL on constraints.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.supports_default_metavalue: bool

  dialect supports INSERT…(col) VALUES (DEFAULT) syntax.

  Most databases support this in some way, e.g. SQLite supports it using VALUES (NULL). MS SQL Server supports the syntax also however is the only included dialect where we have this disabled, as MSSQL does not support the field for the IDENTITY column, which is usually where we like to make use of the feature.

• attribute supports_default_values: bool

  dialect supports INSERT… DEFAULT VALUES syntax

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.supports_empty_insert: bool

  dialect supports INSERT () VALUES (), i.e. a plain INSERT with no columns in it.

  This is not usually supported; an “empty” insert is typically suited using either “INSERT..DEFAULT VALUES” or “INSERT … (col) VALUES (DEFAULT)”.

• attribute supports_identity_columns: bool

  target database supports IDENTITY

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.supports_multivalues_insert: bool

  Target database supports INSERT…VALUES with multiple value sets, i.e. INSERT INTO table (cols) VALUES (…), (…), (…), …

• attribute supports_native_boolean: bool

  Indicates if the dialect supports a native boolean construct. This will prevent Boolean from generating a CHECK constraint when that type is used.

• attribute supports_native_decimal: bool

  indicates if Decimal objects are handled and returned for precision numeric types, or if floats are returned

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.supports_native_enum: bool

  Indicates if the dialect supports a native ENUM construct. This will prevent from generating a CHECK constraint when that type is used in “native” mode.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.supports_native_uuid: bool

• attribute supports_simple_order_by_label: bool

  target database supports ORDER BY <labelname>, where <labelname> refers to a label in the columns clause of the SELECT

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.supports_statement_cache: bool = True

  indicates if this dialect supports caching.

  All dialects that are compatible with statement caching should set this flag to True directly on each dialect class and subclass that supports it. SQLAlchemy tests that this flag is locally present on each dialect subclass before it will use statement caching. This is to provide safety for legacy or new dialects that are not yet fully tested to be compliant with SQL statement caching.

  New in version 1.4.5.

  See also

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.tuple_in_values: bool

  target database supports tuple IN, i.e. (x, y) IN ((q, p), (r, z))

  New in version 2.0.

• classmethod sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.type_descriptor(typeobj: [_T]) → TypeEngine[_T]

  Transform a generic type to a dialect-specific type.

  Dialect classes will usually use the adapt_type() function in the types module to accomplish this.

  The returned result is cached per dialect class so can contain no dialect-instance state.

• attribute update_executemany_returning: bool

  dialect supports UPDATE..RETURNING with executemany.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.update_returning: bool

  if the dialect supports RETURNING with UPDATE

  New in version 2.0.

• attribute update_returning_multifrom: bool

  if the dialect supports RETURNING with UPDATE..FROM

  New in version 2.0.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.Dialect.use_insertmanyvalues: bool

  if True, indicates “insertmanyvalues” functionality should be used to allow for insert_executemany_returning behavior, if possible.

  In practice, setting this to True means:

  if supports_multivalues_insert, insert_returning and use_insertmanyvalues are all True, the SQL compiler will produce an INSERT that will be interpreted by the as an ExecuteStyle.INSERTMANYVALUES execution that allows for INSERT of many rows with RETURNING by rewriting a single-row INSERT statement to have multiple VALUES clauses, also executing the statement multiple times for a series of batches when large numbers of rows are given.

  The parameter is False for the default dialect, and is set to True for SQLAlchemy internal dialects SQLite, MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQL Server. It remains at False for Oracle, which provides native “executemany with RETURNING” support and also does not support supports_multivalues_insert. For MySQL/MariaDB, those MySQL dialects that don’t support RETURNING will not report insert_executemany_returning as True.

  New in version 2.0.

  Connection object which can be freely used by default value generators to execute SQL. This Connection should reference the same underlying connection/transactional resources of root_connection.

• method create_cursor()

  Return a new cursor generated from this ExecutionContext’s connection.

  Some dialects may wish to change the behavior of connection.cursor(), such as postgresql which may return a PG “server side” cursor.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.default.DefaultExecutionContext.current_parameters: Optional[_CoreSingleExecuteParams] = None

  A dictionary of parameters applied to the current row.

  This attribute is only available in the context of a user-defined default generation function, e.g. as described at . It consists of a dictionary which includes entries for each column/value pair that is to be part of the INSERT or UPDATE statement. The keys of the dictionary will be the key value of each Column, which is usually synonymous with the name.

  Note that the attribute does not accommodate for the “multi-values” feature of the Insert.values() method. The method should be preferred.

  Historically this attribute links to whether cursor.execute() or cursor.executemany() will be used. It also can now mean that “insertmanyvalues” may be used which indicates one or more cursor.execute() calls.

• method sqlalchemy.engine.default.DefaultExecutionContext.get_current_parameters(isolate_multiinsert_groups=True)

  Return a dictionary of parameters applied to the current row.

  This method can only be used in the context of a user-defined default generation function, e.g. as described at . When invoked, a dictionary is returned which includes entries for each column/value pair that is part of the INSERT or UPDATE statement. The keys of the dictionary will be the key value of each Column, which is usually synonymous with the name.

  • Parameters:

    isolate_multiinsert_groups=True – indicates that multi-valued INSERT constructs created using should be handled by returning only the subset of parameters that are local to the current column default invocation. When False, the raw parameters of the statement are returned including the naming convention used in the case of multi-valued INSERT.

  New in version 1.2: added DefaultExecutionContext.get_current_parameters() which provides more functionality over the existing attribute.

  See also

  DefaultExecutionContext.current_parameters

• method sqlalchemy.engine.default.DefaultExecutionContext.get_lastrowid()

  return self.cursor.lastrowid, or equivalent, after an INSERT.

  This may involve calling special cursor functions, issuing a new SELECT on the cursor (or a new one), or returning a stored value that was calculated within post_exec().

  This function will only be called for dialects which support “implicit” primary key generation, keep preexecute_autoincrement_sequences set to False, and when no explicit id value was bound to the statement.

  The function is called once for an INSERT statement that would need to return the last inserted primary key for those dialects that make use of the lastrowid concept. In these cases, it is called directly after .

• method sqlalchemy.engine.default.DefaultExecutionContext.get_out_parameter_values(names)

  Return a sequence of OUT parameter values from a cursor.

  For dialects that support OUT parameters, this method will be called when there is a object which has the SQLCompiler.has_out_parameters flag set. This flag in turn will be set to True if the statement itself has objects that have the .isoutparam flag set which are consumed by the SQLCompiler.visit_bindparam() method. If the dialect compiler produces BindParameter objects with .isoutparam set which are not handled by SQLCompiler.visit_bindparam(), it should set this flag explicitly.

  The list of names that were rendered for each bound parameter is passed to the method. The method should then return a sequence of values corresponding to the list of parameter objects. Unlike in previous SQLAlchemy versions, the values can be the raw values from the DBAPI; the execution context will apply the appropriate type handler based on what’s present in self.compiled.binds and update the values. The processed dictionary will then be made available via the .out_parameters collection on the result object. Note that SQLAlchemy 1.4 has multiple kinds of result object as part of the 2.0 transition.

  New in version 1.4: - added , which is invoked automatically by the DefaultExecutionContext when there are objects with the .isoutparam flag set. This replaces the practice of setting out parameters within the now-removed get_result_proxy() method.

• method sqlalchemy.engine.default.DefaultExecutionContext.get_result_processor(type__, _colname, coltype)

  True if the statement is an INSERT.

• attribute isupdate: bool = False

  True if the statement is an UPDATE.

• method sqlalchemy.engine.default.DefaultExecutionContext.lastrow_has_defaults()

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.default.DefaultExecutionContext.parameters: _DBAPIMultiExecuteParams

  bind parameters passed to the execute() or exec_driver_sql() methods.

  These are always stored as a list of parameter entries. A single-element list corresponds to a cursor.execute() call and a multiple-element list corresponds to cursor.executemany(), except in the case of ExecuteStyle.INSERTMANYVALUES which will use cursor.execute() one or more times.

• method post_exec()

  Called after the execution of a compiled statement.

  If a compiled statement was passed to this ExecutionContext, the last_insert_ids, last_inserted_params, etc. datamembers should be available after this method completes.

  These are always stored as a list of parameter entries. A single-element list corresponds to a cursor.execute() call and a multiple-element list corresponds to cursor.executemany(), except in the case of ExecuteStyle.INSERTMANYVALUES which will use cursor.execute() one or more times.

• method sqlalchemy.engine.ExecutionContext.post_exec() → None

  Called after the execution of a compiled statement.

  If a compiled statement was passed to this ExecutionContext, the last_insert_ids, last_inserted_params, etc. datamembers should be available after this method completes.

• attribute postfetch_cols: util.generic_fn_descriptor[Optional[Sequence[[Any]]]]

  a list of Column objects for which a server-side default or inline SQL expression value was fired off. Applies to inserts and updates.

• method sqlalchemy.engine.ExecutionContext.pre_exec() → None

  Called before an execution of a compiled statement.

  If a compiled statement was passed to this ExecutionContext, the statement and parameters datamembers must be initialized after this statement is complete.

• attribute prefetch_cols: util.generic_fn_descriptor[Optional[Sequence[[Any]]]]

  a list of Column objects for which a client-side default was fired off. Applies to inserts and updates.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.ExecutionContext.root_connection:

  Connection object which is the source of this ExecutionContext.

• attribute sqlalchemy.engine.ExecutionContext.statement: str

  string version of the statement to be executed. Is either passed to the constructor, or must be created from the sql.Compiled object by the time pre_exec() has completed.

class sqlalchemy.sql.compiler.ExpandedState

represents state to use when producing “expanded” and “post compile” bound parameters for a statement.

“expanded” parameters are parameters that are generated at statement execution time to suit a number of parameters passed, the most prominent example being the individual elements inside of an IN expression.

“post compile” parameters are parameters where the SQL literal value will be rendered into the SQL statement at execution time, rather than being passed as separate parameters to the driver.

To create an instance, use the SQLCompiler.construct_expanded_state() method on any instance.

class sqlalchemy.sql.compiler.SQLCompiler ()

• method sqlalchemy.sql.compiler.SQLCompiler.__init__(dialect: , statement: Optional[ClauseElement], cache_key: Optional[] = None, column_keys: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, for_executemany: bool = False, linting: Linting = Linting.NO_LINTING, **kwargs: Any)

  Construct a new object.

  • Parameters:

    • dialect – Dialect to be used

    • statement – to be compiled

    • column_keys – a list of column names to be compiled into an INSERT or UPDATE statement.

    • for_executemany – whether INSERT / UPDATE statements should expect that they are to be invoked in an “executemany” style, which may impact how the statement will be expected to return the values of defaults and autoincrement / sequences and similar. Depending on the backend and driver in use, support for retrieving these values may be disabled which means SQL expressions may be rendered inline, RETURNING may not be rendered, etc.

    • kwargs – additional keyword arguments to be consumed by the superclass.

• attribute sqlalchemy.sql.compiler.SQLCompiler.ansi_bind_rules: bool = False

  SQL 92 doesn’t allow bind parameters to be used in the columns clause of a SELECT, nor does it allow ambiguous expressions like “? = ?”. A compiler subclass can set this flag to False if the target driver/DB enforces this

• attribute bind_names: Dict[BindParameter[Any], str]

  a dictionary of BindParameter instances to “compiled” names that are actually present in the generated SQL

• attribute bindname_escape_characters: ClassVar[Mapping[str, str]] = {‘ ‘: ‘\‘, ‘%’: ‘P’, ‘(‘: ‘A’, ‘)’: ‘Z’, ‘.’: ‘_‘, ‘:’: ‘C’, ‘[‘: ‘_‘, ‘]‘: ‘_‘}_

  A mapping (e.g. dict or similar) containing a lookup of characters keyed to replacement characters which will be applied to all ‘bind names’ used in SQL statements as a form of ‘escaping’; the given characters are replaced entirely with the ‘replacement’ character when rendered in the SQL statement, and a similar translation is performed on the incoming names used in parameter dictionaries passed to methods like Connection.execute().

  This allows bound parameter names used in and other constructs to have any arbitrary characters present without any concern for characters that aren’t allowed at all on the target database.

  Third party dialects can establish their own dictionary here to replace the default mapping, which will ensure that the particular characters in the mapping will never appear in a bound parameter name.

  The dictionary is evaluated at class creation time, so cannot be modified at runtime; it must be present on the class when the class is first declared.

  Note that for dialects that have additional bound parameter rules such as additional restrictions on leading characters, the SQLCompiler.bindparam_string() method may need to be augmented. See the cx_Oracle compiler for an example of this.

  New in version 2.0.0rc1.

• attribute sqlalchemy.sql.compiler.SQLCompiler.binds: Dict[str, [Any]]

  a dictionary of bind parameter keys to BindParameter instances.

• attribute sqlalchemy.sql.compiler.SQLCompiler.bindtemplate: str

• method sqlalchemy.sql.compiler.SQLCompiler.construct_expanded_state(params: Optional[_CoreSingleExecuteParams] = None, escape_names: bool = True) →

  Return a new ExpandedState for a given parameter set.

  For queries that use “expanding” or other late-rendered parameters, this method will provide for both the finalized SQL string as well as the parameters that would be used for a particular parameter set.

  New in version 2.0.0rc1.

• method construct_params(params: Optional[_CoreSingleExecuteParams] = None, extracted_parameters: Optional[Sequence[[Any]]] = None, escape_names: bool = True, _group_number: Optional[int] = None, _check: bool = True, _no_postcompile: bool = False) → _MutableCoreSingleExecuteParams

  return a dictionary of bind parameter keys and values

• attribute sqlalchemy.sql.compiler.SQLCompiler.current_executable

  Return the current ‘executable’ that is being compiled.

  This is currently the , Insert, , Delete, object that is being compiled. Specifically it’s assigned to the self.stack list of elements.

  When a statement like the above is being compiled, it normally is also assigned to the .statement attribute of the Compiler object. However, all SQL constructs are ultimately nestable, and this attribute should never be consulted by a visit_ method, as it is not guaranteed to be assigned nor guaranteed to correspond to the current statement being compiled.

  New in version 1.3.21: For compatibility with previous versions, use the following recipe:

  statement = getattr(self, "current_executable", False)
  if statement is False:
      statement = self.stack[-1]["selectable"]

  For versions 1.4 and above, ensure only .current_executable is used; the format of “self.stack” may change.

• method sqlalchemy.sql.compiler.SQLCompiler.default_from()

  Called when a SELECT statement has no froms, and no FROM clause is to be appended.

  Gives Oracle a chance to tack on a FROM DUAL to the string output.

• attribute sqlalchemy.sql.compiler.SQLCompiler.effective_returning

  The effective “returning” columns for INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE.

  This is either the so-called “implicit returning” columns which are calculated by the compiler on the fly, or those present based on what’s present in self.statement._returning (expanded into individual columns using the ._all_selected_columns attribute) i.e. those set explicitly using the method.

  New in version 2.0.

• attribute sqlalchemy.sql.compiler.SQLCompiler.escaped_bind_names: util.immutabledict[str, str] = {}

  Late escaping of bound parameter names that has to be converted to the original name when looking in the parameter dictionary.

• attribute sqlalchemy.sql.compiler.SQLCompiler.implicit_returning: Optional[[ColumnElement[Any]]] = None

  list of “implicit” returning columns for a toplevel INSERT or UPDATE statement, used to receive newly generated values of columns.

  New in version 2.0: implicit_returning replaces the previous returning collection, which was not a generalized RETURNING collection and instead was in fact specific to the “implicit returning” feature.

• attribute insert_prefetch: Sequence[[Any]] = ()

  list of columns for which default values should be evaluated before an INSERT takes place

• attribute sqlalchemy.sql.compiler.SQLCompiler.insert_single_values_expr

  When an INSERT is compiled with a single set of parameters inside a VALUES expression, the string is assigned here, where it can be used for insert batching schemes to rewrite the VALUES expression.

  New in version 1.3.8.

  Changed in version 2.0: This collection is no longer used by SQLAlchemy’s built-in dialects, in favor of the currently internal _insertmanyvalues collection that is used only by .

• attribute sqlalchemy.sql.compiler.SQLCompiler.isupdate: bool = False

  class-level defaults which can be set at the instance level to define if this Compiled instance represents INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE

• attribute literal_execute_params: FrozenSet[BindParameter[Any]] = frozenset({})

  This is used in order to render bound parameters in their correct order, and is combined with the Compiled.params dictionary to render parameters.

  This sequence always contains the unescaped name of the parameters.
