"""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:`.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

"""Produce a "bound 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. This applies to backends such as Oracle which
support OUT parameters.

"""Construct a new :class:`.TextClause` clause, representing
a textual SQL string directly.
E.g.::
fom sqlalchemy import text
t = text("SELECT * FROM users")
result = connection.execute(t)
The advantages :func:`.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:`.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. Use .execution_options(autocommit=<True|False>)
to set the autocommit option.
:param bind:
an optional connection or engine to be used for this text query.
:param bindparams:
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 WHERE id=:id",
bindparams=[bindparam('id', value=5, type_=Integer)])
Is equivalent to::
stmt = text("SELECT * FROM table WHERE id=:id").\\
bindparams(bindparam('id', value=5, type_=Integer))
.. deprecated:: 0.9.0 the :meth:`.TextClause.bindparams` method
supersedes the ``bindparams`` argument to :func:`.text`.
:param typemap:
Deprecated. A dictionary mapping the names of columns
represented in the columns clause of a ``SELECT`` statement
to type objects,
which will be used to perform post-processing on columns within
the result set. This parameter now invokes the :meth:`.TextClause.columns`
method, which returns a :class:`.TextAsFrom` construct that gains
a ``.c`` collection and can be embedded in other expressions. 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)

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:`.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:`.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:`.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)

(users_table.c.name == 'jack', 'J')

.. seealso::
:func:`.case`
"""
__visit_name__ = 'case'
def __init__(self, whens, value=None, else_=None):
"""Produce a ``CASE`` expression.
The ``CASE`` construct in SQL is a conditional object that
acts somewhat analogously to an "if/then" construct in other
languages. It returns an instance of :class:`.Case`.
:func:`.case` in its usual form is passed a list of "when"
contructs, that is, a list of conditions and results as tuples::
from sqlalchemy import case
stmt = select([users_table]).\\
where(
case(
[
(users_table.c.name == 'wendy', 'W'),
(users_table.c.name == 'jack', 'J')
],
else_='E'
)
)
The above statement will produce SQL resembling::
SELECT id, name FROM user
WHERE CASE
WHEN (name = :name_1) THEN :param_1
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::
stmt = select([users_table]).\\
where(
case(
{"wendy": "W", "jack": "J"},
value=users_table.c.name,
else_='E'
)
)
The values which are accepted as result values in
:paramref:`.case.whens` as well as with :paramref:`.case.else_` are
coerced from Python literals into :func:`.bindparam` constructs.
SQL expressions, e.g. :class:`.ColumnElement` constructs, are accepted
as well. To coerce a literal string expression into a constant
expression rendered inline, use the :func:`.literal_column` construct,
as in::
from sqlalchemy import case, literal_column
case(
[
(
orderline.c.qty > 100,
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, :paramref:`.case.whens`
accepts two different forms, based on whether or not :paramref:`.case.value`
is used.
In the first form, it accepts a list of 2-tuples; each 2-tuple 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
passed to :paramref:`.case.whens`.
:param else\_: An optional SQL expression which will be the evaluated
result of the ``CASE`` construct if all expressions within
:paramref:`.case.whens` evaluate to false. When omitted, most
databases will produce a result of NULL if none of the "when"
expressions evaulate to true.

value of :paramref:`.column.is_literal`. Additionally, full SQL
statements are best handled using the :func:`.text` construct.
:func:`.column` can be used in a table-like
fashion by combining it with the :func:`.table` function
(which is the lightweight analogue to :class:`.Table`) to produce
a working table construct with minimal boilerplate::
from sqlalchemy.sql import table, column
user = table("user",
column("id"),
column("name"),
column("description"),
)
stmt = select([user.c.description]).where(user.c.name == 'wendy')
A :func:`.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:`.Table` counterpart.
:param text: the text of the 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:`.literal_column()` function essentially invokes :func:`.column`
while passing ``is_literal=True``.

"""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:`.Table`,
:class:`.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.has_table` method with an unconditionally
quoted name::
from sqlaclchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.sql.elements 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.
