"""The Query class and support.
Defines the :class:`_query.Query` class, the central
construct used by the ORM to construct database queries.
The :class:`_query.Query` class should not be confused with the
:class:`_expression.Select` class, which defines database
SELECT operations at the SQL (non-ORM) level. ``Query`` differs from
``Select`` in that it returns ORM-mapped objects and interacts with an
ORM session, whereas the ``Select`` construct interacts directly with the
database to return iterable result sets.

associating with a :class:`.Session` using the
:meth:`_query.Query.with_session`

my_object = query.get(5)
The tuple form contains primary key values typically in
the order in which they correspond to the mapped
:class:`_schema.Table`
object's primary key columns, or if the
:paramref:`_orm.Mapper.primary_key` configuration parameter were
used, in
the order used for that parameter. For example, if the primary key
of a row is represented by the integer
digits "5, 10" the call would look like::
my_object = query.get((5, 10))
The dictionary form should include as keys the mapped attribute names
corresponding to each element of the primary key. If the mapped class
has the attributes ``id``, ``version_id`` as the attributes which
store the object's primary key value, the call would look like::
my_object = query.get({"id": 5, "version_id": 10})

)
def from_self(self, *entities):
r"""return a Query that selects from this Query's
SELECT statement.
:meth:`_query.Query.from_self` essentially turns the SELECT statement
into a SELECT of itself. Given a query such as::
q = session.query(User).filter(User.name.like('e%'))
Given the :meth:`_query.Query.from_self` version::
q = session.query(User).filter(User.name.like('e%')).from_self()
This query renders as:
.. sourcecode:: sql
SELECT anon_1.user_id AS anon_1_user_id,
anon_1.user_name AS anon_1_user_name
FROM (SELECT "user".id AS user_id, "user".name AS user_name
FROM "user"
WHERE "user".name LIKE :name_1) AS anon_1
There are lots of cases where :meth:`_query.Query.from_self`
may be useful.
A simple one is where above, we may want to apply a row LIMIT to
the set of user objects we query against, and then apply additional
joins against that row-limited set::
q = session.query(User).filter(User.name.like('e%')).\
limit(5).from_self().\
join(User.addresses).filter(Address.email.like('q%'))
The above query joins to the ``Address`` entity but only against the
first five results of the ``User`` query:
.. sourcecode:: sql
SELECT anon_1.user_id AS anon_1_user_id,
anon_1.user_name AS anon_1_user_name
FROM (SELECT "user".id AS user_id, "user".name AS user_name
FROM "user"
WHERE "user".name LIKE :name_1
LIMIT :param_1) AS anon_1
JOIN address ON anon_1.user_id = address.user_id
WHERE address.email LIKE :email_1
**Automatic Aliasing**
Another key behavior of :meth:`_query.Query.from_self`
is that it applies
**automatic aliasing** to the entities inside the subquery, when
they are referenced on the outside. Above, if we continue to
refer to the ``User`` entity without any additional aliasing applied
to it, those references will be in terms of the subquery::
q = session.query(User).filter(User.name.like('e%')).\
limit(5).from_self().\
join(User.addresses).filter(Address.email.like('q%')).\
order_by(User.name)
The ORDER BY against ``User.name`` is aliased to be in terms of the
inner subquery:
.. sourcecode:: sql
SELECT anon_1.user_id AS anon_1_user_id,
anon_1.user_name AS anon_1_user_name
FROM (SELECT "user".id AS user_id, "user".name AS user_name
FROM "user"
WHERE "user".name LIKE :name_1
LIMIT :param_1) AS anon_1
JOIN address ON anon_1.user_id = address.user_id
WHERE address.email LIKE :email_1 ORDER BY anon_1.user_name
The automatic aliasing feature only works in a **limited** way,
for simple filters and orderings. More ambitious constructions
such as referring to the entity in joins should prefer to use
explicit subquery objects, typically making use of the
:meth:`_query.Query.subquery`
method to produce an explicit subquery object.
Always test the structure of queries by viewing the SQL to ensure
a particular structure does what's expected!
**Changing the Entities**
:meth:`_query.Query.from_self`
also includes the ability to modify what
columns are being queried. In our example, we want ``User.id``
to be queried by the inner query, so that we can join to the
``Address`` entity on the outside, but we only wanted the outer
query to return the ``Address.email`` column::
q = session.query(User).filter(User.name.like('e%')).\
limit(5).from_self(Address.email).\
join(User.addresses).filter(Address.email.like('q%'))
yielding:
.. sourcecode:: sql
SELECT address.email AS address_email
FROM (SELECT "user".id AS user_id, "user".name AS user_name
FROM "user"
WHERE "user".name LIKE :name_1
LIMIT :param_1) AS anon_1
JOIN address ON anon_1.user_id = address.user_id
WHERE address.email LIKE :email_1
**Looking out for Inner / Outer Columns**
Keep in mind that when referring to columns that originate from
inside the subquery, we need to ensure they are present in the
columns clause of the subquery itself; this is an ordinary aspect of
SQL. For example, if we wanted to load from a joined entity inside
the subquery using :func:`.contains_eager`, we need to add those
columns. Below illustrates a join of ``Address`` to ``User``,
then a subquery, and then we'd like :func:`.contains_eager` to access
the ``User`` columns::
q = session.query(Address).join(Address.user).\
filter(User.name.like('e%'))
q = q.add_entity(User).from_self().\
options(contains_eager(Address.user))
We use :meth:`_query.Query.add_entity` above **before** we call
:meth:`_query.Query.from_self`
so that the ``User`` columns are present
in the inner subquery, so that they are available to the
:func:`.contains_eager` modifier we are using on the outside,
producing:
.. sourcecode:: sql
SELECT anon_1.address_id AS anon_1_address_id,
anon_1.address_email AS anon_1_address_email,
anon_1.address_user_id AS anon_1_address_user_id,
anon_1.user_id AS anon_1_user_id,
anon_1.user_name AS anon_1_user_name
FROM (
SELECT address.id AS address_id,
address.email AS address_email,
address.user_id AS address_user_id,
"user".id AS user_id,
"user".name AS user_name
FROM address JOIN "user" ON "user".id = address.user_id
WHERE "user".name LIKE :name_1) AS anon_1
If we didn't call ``add_entity(User)``, but still asked
:func:`.contains_eager` to load the ``User`` entity, it would be
forced to add the table on the outside without the correct
join criteria - note the ``anon1, "user"`` phrase at
the end:
.. sourcecode:: sql
-- incorrect query
SELECT anon_1.address_id AS anon_1_address_id,
anon_1.address_email AS anon_1_address_email,
anon_1.address_user_id AS anon_1_address_user_id,
"user".id AS user_id,
"user".name AS user_name
FROM (
SELECT address.id AS address_id,
address.email AS address_email,
address.user_id AS address_user_id
FROM address JOIN "user" ON "user".id = address.user_id
WHERE "user".name LIKE :name_1) AS anon_1, "user"

def join(self, target, *props, **kwargs):
r"""Create a SQL JOIN against this :class:`_query.Query`
object's criterion
and apply generatively, returning the newly resulting
:class:`_query.Query`.
**Simple Relationship Joins**
Consider a mapping between two classes ``User`` and ``Address``,
with a relationship ``User.addresses`` representing a collection
of ``Address`` objects associated with each ``User``. The most
common usage of :meth:`_query.Query.join`
is to create a JOIN along this
relationship, using the ``User.addresses`` attribute as an indicator
for how this should occur::
q = session.query(User).join(User.addresses)
Where above, the call to :meth:`_query.Query.join` along
``User.addresses`` will result in SQL approximately equivalent to::
SELECT user.id, user.name
FROM user JOIN address ON user.id = address.user_id
In the above example we refer to ``User.addresses`` as passed to
:meth:`_query.Query.join` as the "on clause", that is, it indicates
how the "ON" portion of the JOIN should be constructed.
To construct a chain of joins, multiple :meth:`_query.Query.join`
calls may be used. The relationship-bound attribute implies both
the left and right side of the join at once::
q = session.query(User).\
join(User.orders).\
join(Order.items).\
join(Item.keywords)
.. note:: as seen in the above example, **the order in which each
call to the join() method occurs is important**. Query would not,
for example, know how to join correctly if we were to specify
``User``, then ``Item``, then ``Order``, in our chain of joins; in
such a case, depending on the arguments passed, it may raise an
error that it doesn't know how to join, or it may produce invalid
SQL in which case the database will raise an error. In correct
practice, the
:meth:`_query.Query.join` method is invoked in such a way that lines
up with how we would want the JOIN clauses in SQL to be
rendered, and each call should represent a clear link from what
precedes it.
**Joins to a Target Entity or Selectable**
A second form of :meth:`_query.Query.join` allows any mapped entity or
core selectable construct as a target. In this usage,
:meth:`_query.Query.join` will attempt to create a JOIN along the
natural foreign key relationship between two entities::
q = session.query(User).join(Address)
In the above calling form, :meth:`_query.Query.join` is called upon to
create the "on clause" automatically for us. This calling form will
ultimately raise an error if either there are no foreign keys between
the two entities, or if there are multiple foreign key linkages between
the target entity and the entity or entities already present on the
left side such that creating a join requires more information. Note
that when indicating a join to a target without any ON clause, ORM
configured relationships are not taken into account.
**Joins to a Target with an ON Clause**
The third calling form allows both the target entity as well
as the ON clause to be passed explicitly. A example that includes
a SQL expression as the ON clause is as follows::
q = session.query(User).join(Address, User.id==Address.user_id)
The above form may also use a relationship-bound attribute as the
ON clause as well::
q = session.query(User).join(Address, User.addresses)
The above syntax can be useful for the case where we wish
to join to an alias of a particular target entity. If we wanted
to join to ``Address`` twice, it could be achieved using two
aliases set up using the :func:`~sqlalchemy.orm.aliased` function::
a1 = aliased(Address)
a2 = aliased(Address)
q = session.query(User).\
join(a1, User.addresses).\
join(a2, User.addresses).\
filter(a1.email_address=='ed@foo.com').\
filter(a2.email_address=='ed@bar.com')
The relationship-bound calling form can also specify a target entity
using the :meth:`_orm.PropComparator.of_type` method; a query
equivalent to the one above would be::
a1 = aliased(Address)
a2 = aliased(Address)
q = session.query(User).\
join(User.addresses.of_type(a1)).\
join(User.addresses.of_type(a2)).\
filter(a1.email_address == 'ed@foo.com').\
filter(a2.email_address == 'ed@bar.com')
**Augmenting Built-in ON Clauses**
As a substitute for providing a full custom ON condition for an
existing relationship, the :meth:`_orm.PropComparator.and_` function
may be applied to a relationship attribute to augment additional
criteria into the ON clause; the additional criteria will be combined
with the default criteria using AND::
q = session.query(User).join(
User.addresses.and_(Address.email_address != 'foo@bar.com')
)
.. versionadded:: 1.4
**Joining to Tables and Subqueries**
The target of a join may also be any table or SELECT statement,
which may be related to a target entity or not. Use the
appropriate ``.subquery()`` method in order to make a subquery
out of a query::
subq = session.query(Address).\
filter(Address.email_address == 'ed@foo.com').\
subquery()
q = session.query(User).join(
subq, User.id == subq.c.user_id
)
Joining to a subquery in terms of a specific relationship and/or
target entity may be achieved by linking the subquery to the
entity using :func:`_orm.aliased`::
subq = session.query(Address).\
filter(Address.email_address == 'ed@foo.com').\
subquery()
address_subq = aliased(Address, subq)
q = session.query(User).join(
User.addresses.of_type(address_subq)
)
**Controlling what to Join From**
In cases where the left side of the current state of
:class:`_query.Query` is not in line with what we want to join from,
the :meth:`_query.Query.select_from` method may be used::
q = session.query(Address).select_from(User).\
join(User.addresses).\
filter(User.name == 'ed')
Which will produce SQL similar to::
SELECT address.* FROM user
JOIN address ON user.id=address.user_id
WHERE user.name = :name_1
**Legacy Features of Query.join()**
.. deprecated:: 1.4 The following features are deprecated and will
be removed in SQLAlchemy 2.0.
The :meth:`_query.Query.join` method currently supports several
usage patterns and arguments that are considered to be legacy
as of SQLAlchemy 1.3. A deprecation path will follow
in the 1.4 series for the following features:
* Joining on relationship names rather than attributes::
session.query(User).join("addresses")
**Why it's legacy**: the string name does not provide enough context
for :meth:`_query.Query.join` to always know what is desired,
notably in that there is no indication of what the left side
of the join should be. This gives rise to flags like
``from_joinpoint`` as well as the ability to place several
join clauses in a single :meth:`_query.Query.join` call
which don't solve the problem fully while also
adding new calling styles that are unnecessary and expensive to
accommodate internally.
**Modern calling pattern**: Use the actual relationship,
e.g. ``User.addresses`` in the above case::
session.query(User).join(User.addresses)
* Automatic aliasing with the ``aliased=True`` flag::
session.query(Node).join(Node.children, aliased=True).\
filter(Node.name == 'some name')
**Why it's legacy**: the automatic aliasing feature of
:class:`_query.Query` is intensely complicated, both in its internal
implementation as well as in its observed behavior, and is almost
never used. It is difficult to know upon inspection where and when
its aliasing of a target entity, ``Node`` in the above case, will be
applied and when it won't, and additionally the feature has to use
very elaborate heuristics to achieve this implicit behavior.
**Modern calling pattern**: Use the :func:`_orm.aliased` construct
explicitly::
from sqlalchemy.orm import aliased
n1 = aliased(Node)
session.query(Node).join(Node.children.of_type(n1)).\
filter(n1.name == 'some name')
* Multiple joins in one call::
session.query(User).join("orders", "items")
session.query(User).join(User.orders, Order.items)
session.query(User).join(
(Order, User.orders),
(Item, Item.order_id == Order.id)
)
session.query(User).join(Order, Item)
# ... and several more forms actually
**Why it's legacy**: being able to chain multiple ON clauses in one
call to :meth:`_query.Query.join` is yet another attempt to solve
the problem of being able to specify what entity to join from,
and is the source of a large variety of potential calling patterns
that are internally expensive and complicated to parse and
accommodate.
**Modern calling pattern**: Use relationship-bound attributes
or SQL-oriented ON clauses within separate calls, so that
each call to :meth:`_query.Query.join` knows what the left
side should be::
session.query(User).join(User.orders).join(
Item, Item.order_id == Order.id)
:param \*props: Incoming arguments for :meth:`_query.Query.join`,
the props collection in modern use should be considered to be a one
or two argument form, either as a single "target" entity or ORM
attribute-bound relationship, or as a target entity plus an "on
clause" which may be a SQL expression or ORM attribute-bound
relationship.
:param isouter=False: If True, the join used will be a left outer join,
just as if the :meth:`_query.Query.outerjoin` method were called.
:param full=False: render FULL OUTER JOIN; implies ``isouter``.
.. versionadded:: 1.1
:param from_joinpoint=False: When using ``aliased=True``, a setting
of True here will cause the join to be from the most recent
joined target, rather than starting back from the original
FROM clauses of the query.
.. note:: This flag is considered legacy.
:param aliased=False: If True, indicate that the JOIN target should be
anonymously aliased. Subsequent calls to :meth:`_query.Query.filter`
and similar will adapt the incoming criterion to the target
alias, until :meth:`_query.Query.reset_joinpoint` is called.
.. note:: This flag is considered legacy.

r"""Set the FROM clause of this :class:`_query.Query` to a

The :meth:`_query.Query.select_entity_from`
method supplies an alternative
approach to the use case of applying an :func:`.aliased` construct
explicitly throughout a query. Instead of referring to the
:func:`.aliased` construct explicitly,
:meth:`_query.Query.select_entity_from` automatically *adapts* all
occurrences of the entity to the target selectable.
Given a case for :func:`.aliased` such as selecting ``User``
objects from a SELECT statement::
select_stmt = select(User).where(User.id == 7)
user_alias = aliased(User, select_stmt)
q = session.query(user_alias).\
filter(user_alias.name == 'ed')
Above, we apply the ``user_alias`` object explicitly throughout the
query. When it's not feasible for ``user_alias`` to be referenced
explicitly in many places, :meth:`_query.Query.select_entity_from`
may be
used at the start of the query to adapt the existing ``User`` entity::
q = session.query(User).\
select_entity_from(select_stmt.subquery()).\
filter(User.name == 'ed')
Above, the generated SQL will show that the ``User`` entity is
adapted to our statement, even in the case of the WHERE clause:
.. sourcecode:: sql
SELECT anon_1.id AS anon_1_id, anon_1.name AS anon_1_name
FROM (SELECT "user".id AS id, "user".name AS name
FROM "user"
WHERE "user".id = :id_1) AS anon_1
WHERE anon_1.name = :name_1
The :meth:`_query.Query.select_entity_from` method is similar to the
:meth:`_query.Query.select_from` method,
in that it sets the FROM clause
of the query. The difference is that it additionally applies
adaptation to the other parts of the query that refer to the
primary entity. If above we had used :meth:`_query.Query.select_from`
instead, the SQL generated would have been:
.. sourcecode:: sql
-- uses plain select_from(), not select_entity_from()
SELECT "user".id AS user_id, "user".name AS user_name
FROM "user", (SELECT "user".id AS id, "user".name AS name
FROM "user"
WHERE "user".id = :id_1) AS anon_1
WHERE "user".name = :name_1
To supply textual SQL to the :meth:`_query.Query.select_entity_from`
method,
we can make use of the :func:`_expression.text` construct. However,
the
:func:`_expression.text`
construct needs to be aligned with the columns of our
entity, which is achieved by making use of the
:meth:`_expression.TextClause.columns` method::
text_stmt = text("select id, name from user").columns(
User.id, User.name).subquery()
q = session.query(User).select_entity_from(text_stmt)
:meth:`_query.Query.select_entity_from` itself accepts an
:func:`.aliased`
object, so that the special options of :func:`.aliased` such as
:paramref:`.aliased.adapt_on_names` may be used within the
scope of the :meth:`_query.Query.select_entity_from`
method's adaptation
services. Suppose
a view ``user_view`` also returns rows from ``user``. If
we reflect this view into a :class:`_schema.Table`, this view has no
relationship to the :class:`_schema.Table` to which we are mapped,
however
we can use name matching to select from it::
user_view = Table('user_view', metadata,
autoload_with=engine)
user_view_alias = aliased(
User, user_view, adapt_on_names=True)
q = session.query(User).\
