The boolean argument may also be a column expression or list of column expressions - this is a special calling form which is understood by the Postgresql dialect to render the ``DISTINCT ON ()`` syntax. ``distinct`` is also available on an existing :class:`.Select` object via the :meth:`~.Select.distinct` method. .. seealso:: :meth:`.Select.distinct` :param for_update=False: when ``True``, applies ``FOR UPDATE`` to the end of the resulting statement. .. deprecated:: 0.9.0 - use :meth:`.Select.with_for_update` to specify the structure of the ``FOR UPDATE`` clause. ``for_update`` accepts various string values interpreted by specific backends, including: * ``"read"`` - on MySQL, translates to ``LOCK IN SHARE MODE``; on Postgresql, translates to ``FOR SHARE``. * ``"nowait"`` - on Postgresql and Oracle, translates to ``FOR UPDATE NOWAIT``. * ``"read_nowait"`` - on Postgresql, translates to ``FOR SHARE NOWAIT``. .. seealso:: :meth:`.Select.with_for_update` - improved API for specifying the ``FOR UPDATE`` clause. :param group_by: a list of :class:`.ClauseElement` objects which will comprise the ``GROUP BY`` clause of the resulting select. This parameter is typically specified more naturally using the :meth:`.Select.group_by` method on an existing :class:`.Select`. .. seealso:: :meth:`.Select.group_by` :param having: a :class:`.ClauseElement` that will comprise the ``HAVING`` clause of the resulting select when ``GROUP BY`` is used. This parameter is typically specified more naturally using the :meth:`.Select.having` method on an existing :class:`.Select`. .. seealso:: :meth:`.Select.having` :param limit=None: a numerical value which usually renders as a ``LIMIT`` expression in the resulting select. Backends that don't support ``LIMIT`` will attempt to provide similar functionality. This parameter is typically specified more naturally using the :meth:`.Select.limit` method on an existing :class:`.Select`. .. seealso:: :meth:`.Select.limit` :param offset=None: a numeric value which usually renders as an ``OFFSET`` expression in the resulting select. Backends that don't support ``OFFSET`` will attempt to provide similar functionality. This parameter is typically specified more naturally using the :meth:`.Select.offset` method on an existing :class:`.Select`. .. seealso:: :meth:`.Select.offset` :param order_by: a scalar or list of :class:`.ClauseElement` objects which will comprise the ``ORDER BY`` clause of the resulting select. This parameter is typically specified more naturally using the :meth:`.Select.order_by` method on an existing :class:`.Select`. .. seealso:: :meth:`.Select.order_by` :param use_labels=False: when ``True``, the statement will be generated using labels for each column in the columns clause, which qualify each column with its parent table's (or aliases) name so that name conflicts between columns in different tables don't occur. The format of the label is _. The "c" collection of the resulting :class:`.Select` object will use these names as well for targeting column members.

Prior to version 0.7.3, the FROM clause of a :func:`.select` was calculated upfront and as new columns were added; in 0.7.3 and later it's calculated at compile time, fixing an issue regarding late binding of columns to parent tables. This changes the behavior of :meth:`.Select.with_only_columns` in that FROM clauses no longer represented in the new list are dropped, but this behavior is more consistent in that the FROM clauses are consistently derived from the current columns clause. The original intent of this method is to allow trimming of the existing columns list to be fewer columns than originally present; the use case of replacing the columns list with an entirely different one hadn't been anticipated until 0.7.3 was released; the usage guidelines below illustrate how this should be done. This method is exactly equivalent to as if the original :func:`.select` had been called with the given columns clause. I.e. a statement:: s = select([table1.c.a, table1.c.b]) s = s.with_only_columns([table1.c.b]) should be exactly equivalent to:: s = select([table1.c.b]) This means that FROM clauses which are only derived from the column list will be discarded if the new column list no longer contains that FROM:: >>> table1 = table('t1', column('a'), column('b')) >>> table2 = table('t2', column('a'), column('b')) >>> s1 = select([table1.c.a, table2.c.b]) >>> print s1 SELECT t1.a, t2.b FROM t1, t2 >>> s2 = s1.with_only_columns([table2.c.b]) >>> print s2 SELECT t2.b FROM t1 The preferred way to maintain a specific FROM clause in the construct, assuming it won't be represented anywhere else (i.e. not in the WHERE clause, etc.) is to set it using :meth:`.Select.select_from`:: >>> s1 = select([table1.c.a, table2.c.b]).\\ ... select_from(table1.join(table2, ... table1.c.a==table2.c.a)) >>> s2 = s1.with_only_columns([table2.c.b]) >>> print s2 SELECT t2.b FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t1.a=t2.a Care should also be taken to use the correct set of column objects passed to :meth:`.Select.with_only_columns`. Since the method is essentially equivalent to calling the :func:`.select` construct in the first place with the given columns, the columns passed to :meth:`.Select.with_only_columns` should usually be a subset of those which were passed to the :func:`.select` construct, not those which are available from the ``.c`` collection of that :func:`.select`. That is:: s = select([table1.c.a, table1.c.b]).select_from(table1) s = s.with_only_columns([table1.c.b]) and **not**:: # usually incorrect s = s.with_only_columns([s.c.b]) The latter would produce the SQL:: SELECT b FROM (SELECT t1.a AS a, t1.b AS b FROM t1), t1 Since the :func:`.select` construct is essentially being asked to select both from ``table1`` as well as itself.
