class documentation

Define the behavior of a specific database and DB-API combination. Any aspect of metadata definition, SQL query generation, execution, result-set handling, or anything else which varies between databases is defined under the general category of the Dialect. 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 :class:`.Dialect` directly. Instead, subclass :class:`.default.DefaultDialect` or descendant class.

@classmethod
def engine_created(cls, engine: Engine): (source)

A convenience hook called before returning the final :class:`_engine.Engine`. If the dialect returned a different class from the :meth:`.get_dialect_cls` method, then the hook is called on both classes, first on the dialect class returned by the :meth:`.get_dialect_cls` method and then on the class on which the method was called. The hook should be used by dialects and/or wrappers to apply special events to the engine or its components. In particular, it allows a dialect-wrapping class to apply dialect-level events. .. versionadded:: 1.0.3

@classmethod
def get_async_dialect_cls(cls, url: URL) -> Type[Dialect]: (source)

Given a URL, return the :class:`.Dialect` that will be used by an async engine. By default this is an alias of :meth:`.Dialect.get_dialect_cls` and just returns the cls. It may be used if a dialect provides both a sync and async version under the same name, like the ``psycopg`` driver. .. versionadded:: 2 .. seealso:: :meth:`.Dialect.get_dialect_cls`

@classmethod
def get_dialect_cls(cls, url: URL) -> Type[Dialect]: (source)

Given a URL, return the :class:`.Dialect` that will be used. This is a hook that allows an external plugin to provide functionality around an existing dialect, by allowing the plugin to be loaded from the url based on an entrypoint, and then the plugin returns the actual dialect to be used. By default this just returns the cls. .. versionadded:: 1.0.3

@classmethod
def import_dbapi(cls) -> ModuleType: (source)

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``. .. versionchanged:: 2.0 The :meth:`.Dialect.import_dbapi` 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.

@classmethod
def load_provisioning(cls): (source)

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 def load_provisioning(cls): __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") except ImportError: pass .. versionadded:: 1.3.14

@classmethod
def type_descriptor(cls, typeobj: TypeEngine[_T]) -> TypeEngine[_T]: (source)

Transform a generic type to a dialect-specific type. Dialect classes will usually use the :func:`_types.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.

def connect(self, *cargs: Any, **cparams: Any) -> DBAPIConnection: (source)

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 :meth:`.Dialect.create_connect_args` 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. :param \*cargs: positional parameters returned from the :meth:`.Dialect.create_connect_args` method :param \*\*cparams: keyword parameters returned from the :meth:`.Dialect.create_connect_args` method. :return: a DBAPI connection, typically from the :pep:`249` module level ``.connect()`` function. .. seealso:: :meth:`.Dialect.create_connect_args` :meth:`.Dialect.on_connect`

def create_connect_args(self, url: URL) -> ConnectArgsType: (source)

Build DB-API compatible connection arguments. Given a :class:`.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 :meth:`.Dialect.connect` method which then runs the DBAPI-level ``connect()`` function. The method typically makes use of the :meth:`.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] :param url: a :class:`.URL` object :return: a tuple of ``(*args, **kwargs)`` which will be passed to the :meth:`.Dialect.connect` method. .. seealso:: :meth:`.URL.translate_connect_args`

def create_xid(self) -> Any: (source)

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.

def do_begin(self, dbapi_connection: PoolProxiedConnection): (source)

Provide an implementation of ``connection.begin()``, given a DB-API connection. The DBAPI has no dedicated "begin" method and it is expected that transactions are implicit.

def do_commit(self, dbapi_connection: PoolProxiedConnection): (source)

Provide an implementation of ``connection.commit()``, given a DB-API connection. :param dbapi_connection: a DBAPI connection, typically proxied within a :class:`.ConnectionFairy`.

def do_commit_twophase(self, connection: Connection, xid: Any, is_prepared: bool = True, recover: bool = False): (source)

Commit a two phase transaction on the given connection. :param connection: a :class:`_engine.Connection`. :param xid: xid :param is_prepared: whether or not :meth:`.TwoPhaseTransaction.prepare` was called. :param recover: if the recover flag was passed.

def do_execute(self, cursor: DBAPICursor, statement: str, parameters: Optional[_DBAPISingleExecuteParams], context: Optional[ExecutionContext] = None): (source)

def do_rollback(self, dbapi_connection: PoolProxiedConnection): (source)

Provide an implementation of ``connection.rollback()``, given a DB-API connection. :param dbapi_connection: a DBAPI connection, typically proxied within a :class:`.ConnectionFairy`.

def do_rollback_to_savepoint(self, connection: Connection, name: str): (source)

Rollback a connection to the named savepoint. :param connection: a :class:`_engine.Connection`. :param name: savepoint name.

def do_rollback_twophase(self, connection: Connection, xid: Any, is_prepared: bool = True, recover: bool = False): (source)

Rollback a two phase transaction on the given connection. :param connection: a :class:`_engine.Connection`. :param xid: xid :param is_prepared: whether or not :meth:`.TwoPhaseTransaction.prepare` was called. :param recover: if the recover flag was passed.

def do_savepoint(self, connection: Connection, name: str): (source)

Create a savepoint with the given name. :param connection: a :class:`_engine.Connection`. :param name: savepoint name.

def do_set_input_sizes(self, cursor: DBAPICursor, list_of_tuples: _GenericSetInputSizesType, context: ExecutionContext) -> Any: (source)

invoke the cursor.setinputsizes() method with appropriate arguments This hook is called if the :attr:`.Dialect.bind_typing` attribute is set to the :attr:`.BindTyping.SETINPUTSIZES` value. Parameter data is passed in a list of tuples (paramname, dbtype, sqltype), where ``paramname`` is the key of the parameter in the statement, ``dbtype`` is the DBAPI datatype and ``sqltype`` is the SQLAlchemy type. The order of tuples is in the correct parameter order. .. versionadded:: 1.4 .. versionchanged:: 2.0 - setinputsizes mode is now enabled by setting :attr:`.Dialect.bind_typing` to :attr:`.BindTyping.SETINPUTSIZES`. Dialects which accept a ``use_setinputsizes`` parameter should set this value appropriately.

def do_terminate(self, dbapi_connection: DBAPIConnection): (source)

Provide an implementation of ``connection.close()`` that tries as much as possible to not block, given a DBAPI connection. In the vast majority of cases this just calls .close(), however for some asyncio dialects may call upon different API features. This hook is called by the :class:`_pool.Pool` when a connection is being recycled or has been invalidated. .. versionadded:: 1.4.41

def get_check_constraints(self, connection: Connection, table_name: str, schema: Optional[str] = None, **kw: Any) -> List[ReflectedCheckConstraint]: (source)

Return information about check constraints in ``table_name``. Given a string ``table_name`` and an optional string ``schema``, return check constraint information as a list of dicts corresponding to the :class:`.ReflectedCheckConstraint` dictionary. This is an internal dialect method. Applications should use :meth:`.Inspector.get_check_constraints`. .. versionadded:: 1.1.0

def get_columns(self, connection: Connection, table_name: str, schema: Optional[str] = None, **kw: Any) -> List[ReflectedColumn]: (source)

Return information about columns in ``table_name``. Given a :class:`_engine.Connection`, a string ``table_name``, and an optional string ``schema``, return column information as a list of dictionaries corresponding to the :class:`.ReflectedColumn` dictionary. This is an internal dialect method. Applications should use :meth:`.Inspector.get_columns`.

def get_default_isolation_level(self, dbapi_conn: DBAPIConnection) -> IsolationLevel: (source)

Given a DBAPI connection, return its isolation level, or a default isolation level if one cannot be retrieved. 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 :meth:`.Dialect.get_isolation_level` method unless overridden by a dialect. .. versionadded:: 1.3.22

def get_dialect_pool_class(self, url: URL) -> Type[Pool]: (source)

return a Pool class to use for a given URL

def get_driver_connection(self, connection: DBAPIConnection) -> Any: (source)

Returns the connection object as returned by the external driver package. For normal dialects that use a DBAPI compliant driver this call will just return the ``connection`` passed as argument. For dialects that instead adapt a non DBAPI compliant driver, like when adapting an asyncio driver, this call will return the connection-like object as returned by the driver. .. versionadded:: 1.4.24

def get_foreign_keys(self, connection: Connection, table_name: str, schema: Optional[str] = None, **kw: Any) -> List[ReflectedForeignKeyConstraint]: (source)

Return information about foreign_keys in ``table_name``. Given a :class:`_engine.Connection`, a string ``table_name``, and an optional string ``schema``, return foreign key information as a list of dicts corresponding to the :class:`.ReflectedForeignKeyConstraint` dictionary. This is an internal dialect method. Applications should use :meth:`_engine.Inspector.get_foreign_keys`.

def get_indexes(self, connection: Connection, table_name: str, schema: Optional[str] = None, **kw: Any) -> List[ReflectedIndex]: (source)

Return information about indexes in ``table_name``. Given a :class:`_engine.Connection`, a string ``table_name`` and an optional string ``schema``, return index information as a list of dictionaries corresponding to the :class:`.ReflectedIndex` dictionary. This is an internal dialect method. Applications should use :meth:`.Inspector.get_indexes`.

def get_isolation_level(self, dbapi_connection: DBAPIConnection) -> IsolationLevel: (source)

Given a DBAPI connection, return its isolation level. When working with a :class:`_engine.Connection` object, the corresponding DBAPI connection may be procured using the :attr:`_engine.Connection.connection` accessor. Note that this is a dialect-level method which is used as part of the implementation of the :class:`_engine.Connection` and :class:`_engine.Engine` isolation level facilities; these APIs should be preferred for most typical use cases. .. seealso:: :meth:`_engine.Connection.get_isolation_level` - view current level :attr:`_engine.Connection.default_isolation_level` - view default level :paramref:`.Connection.execution_options.isolation_level` - set per :class:`_engine.Connection` isolation level :paramref:`_sa.create_engine.isolation_level` - set per :class:`_engine.Engine` isolation level

def get_isolation_level_values(self, dbapi_conn: DBAPIConnection) -> List[IsolationLevel]: (source)

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 :class:`_exc.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 :meth:`.Dialect.set_isolation_level` method. This is to allow backwards-compatibility with third party dialects that may not yet be implementing this method. .. versionadded:: 2.0

def get_materialized_view_names(self, connection: Connection, schema: Optional[str] = None, **kw: Any) -> List[str]: (source)

Return a list of all materialized view names available in the database. This is an internal dialect method. Applications should use :meth:`_engine.Inspector.get_materialized_view_names`. :param schema: schema name to query, if not the default schema. .. versionadded:: 2.0

def get_view_names(self, connection: Connection, schema: Optional[str] = None, **kw: Any) -> List[str]: (source)

Return a list of all non-materialized view names available in the database. This is an internal dialect method. Applications should use :meth:`_engine.Inspector.get_view_names`. :param schema: schema name to query, if not the default schema.

def has_index(self, connection: Connection, table_name: str, index_name: str, schema: Optional[str] = None, **kw: Any) -> bool: (source)

Check the existence of a particular index name in the database. Given a :class:`_engine.Connection` 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 :class:`.DefaultDialect` implements this in terms of the :meth:`.Dialect.has_table` and :meth:`.Dialect.get_indexes` methods, however dialects can implement a more performant version. This is an internal dialect method. Applications should use :meth:`_engine.Inspector.has_index`. .. versionadded:: 1.4

def has_schema(self, connection: Connection, schema_name: str, **kw: Any) -> bool: (source)

Check the existence of a particular schema name in the database. Given a :class:`_engine.Connection` object, a string ``schema_name``, return ``True`` if a schema of the given exists, ``False`` otherwise. The :class:`.DefaultDialect` implements this by checking the presence of ``schema_name`` among the schemas returned by :meth:`.Dialect.get_schema_names`, however dialects can implement a more performant version. This is an internal dialect method. Applications should use :meth:`_engine.Inspector.has_schema`. .. versionadded:: 2.0

def has_sequence(self, connection: Connection, sequence_name: str, schema: Optional[str] = None, **kw: Any) -> bool: (source)

Check the existence of a particular sequence in the database. Given a :class:`_engine.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 :meth:`_engine.Inspector.has_sequence`.

def has_table(self, connection: Connection, table_name: str, schema: Optional[str] = None, **kw: Any) -> bool: (source)

For internal dialect use, check the existence of a particular table or view in the database. Given a :class:`_engine.Connection` 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 :meth:`.Inspector.has_table` method, and is also used internally to implement the "checkfirst" behavior for methods like :meth:`_schema.Table.create` and :meth:`_schema.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 :meth:`.Inspector.has_table` method. .. versionchanged:: 2.0:: :meth:`_engine.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.

def initialize(self, connection: Connection): (source)

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 :meth:`_engine.Dialect.on_connect` hooks are called.

def is_disconnect(self, e: Exception, connection: Optional[Union[PoolProxiedConnection, DBAPIConnection]], cursor: Optional[DBAPICursor]) -> bool: (source)

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

def normalize_name(self, name: str) -> str: (source)

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.

def on_connect(self) -> Optional[Callable[[Any], Any]]: (source)

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 :meth:`_events.PoolEvents.connect` event hook, then unwrapping the DBAPI connection and passing it into the callable. .. versionchanged:: 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 :meth:`_engine.Dialect.initialize` method however. .. versionchanged:: 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. :return: a callable that accepts a single DBAPI connection as an argument, or None. .. seealso:: :meth:`.Dialect.connect` - allows the DBAPI ``connect()`` sequence itself to be controlled. :meth:`.Dialect.on_connect_url` - supersedes :meth:`.Dialect.on_connect` to also receive the :class:`_engine.URL` object in context.

def on_connect_url(self, url: URL) -> Optional[Callable[[Any], Any]]: (source)

return a callable which sets up a newly created DBAPI connection. This method is a new hook that supersedes the :meth:`_engine.Dialect.on_connect` method when implemented by a dialect. When not implemented by a dialect, it invokes the :meth:`_engine.Dialect.on_connect` method directly to maintain compatibility with existing dialects. There is no deprecation for :meth:`_engine.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 :meth:`_engine.Dialect.on_connect` in that it is passed the :class:`_engine.URL` object that's relevant to the connect args. Normally the only way to get this is from the :meth:`_engine.Dialect.on_connect` hook is to look on the :class:`_engine.Engine` itself, however this URL object may have been replaced by plugins. .. note:: The default implementation of :meth:`_engine.Dialect.on_connect_url` is to invoke the :meth:`_engine.Dialect.on_connect` method. Therefore if a dialect implements this method, the :meth:`_engine.Dialect.on_connect` method **will not be called** unless the overriding dialect calls it directly from here. .. versionadded:: 1.4.3 added :meth:`_engine.Dialect.on_connect_url` which normally calls into :meth:`_engine.Dialect.on_connect`. :param url: a :class:`_engine.URL` object representing the :class:`_engine.URL` that was passed to the :meth:`_engine.Dialect.create_connect_args` method. :return: a callable that accepts a single DBAPI connection as an argument, or None. .. seealso:: :meth:`_engine.Dialect.on_connect`

def reset_isolation_level(self, dbapi_connection: DBAPIConnection): (source)

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 :class:`_engine.Connection` and :class:`_engine.Engine` isolation level facilities; these APIs should be preferred for most typical use cases. .. seealso:: :meth:`_engine.Connection.get_isolation_level` - view current level :attr:`_engine.Connection.default_isolation_level` - view default level :paramref:`.Connection.execution_options.isolation_level` - set per :class:`_engine.Connection` isolation level :paramref:`_sa.create_engine.isolation_level` - set per :class:`_engine.Engine` isolation level

def set_connection_execution_options(self, connection: Connection, opts: CoreExecuteOptionsParameter): (source)

Establish execution options for a given connection. This is implemented by :class:`.DefaultDialect` in order to implement the :paramref:`_engine.Connection.execution_options.isolation_level` execution option. Dialects can intercept various execution options which may need to modify state on a particular DBAPI connection. .. versionadded:: 1.4

def set_engine_execution_options(self, engine: Engine, opts: CoreExecuteOptionsParameter): (source)

Establish execution options for a given engine. This is implemented by :class:`.DefaultDialect` to establish event hooks for new :class:`.Connection` instances created by the given :class:`.Engine` which will then invoke the :meth:`.Dialect.set_connection_execution_options` method for that connection.

def set_isolation_level(self, dbapi_connection: DBAPIConnection, level: IsolationLevel): (source)

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 :class:`_engine.Connection` and :class:`_engine.Engine` isolation level facilities; these APIs should be preferred for most typical use cases. If the dialect also implements the :meth:`.Dialect.get_isolation_level_values` 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. .. seealso:: :meth:`_engine.Connection.get_isolation_level` - view current level :attr:`_engine.Connection.default_isolation_level` - view default level :paramref:`.Connection.execution_options.isolation_level` - set per :class:`_engine.Connection` isolation level :paramref:`_sa.create_engine.isolation_level` - set per :class:`_engine.Engine` isolation level

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.

compiler_linting: Linting = (source)

Undocumented

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 :class:`.Index` construct will now accept the keyword arguments ``postgresql_using``, ``postgresql_where``, nad ``postgresql_ops``. Any other argument specified to the constructor of :class:`.Index` which is prefixed with ``postgresql_`` will raise :class:`.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. .. versionadded:: 0.9.2 .. seealso:: :class:`.DialectKWArgs` - implementing base class which consumes :attr:`.DefaultDialect.construct_arguments`

cte_follows_insert: bool = (source)

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

A reference to the DBAPI module object itself. SQLAlchemy dialects import DBAPI modules using the classmethod :meth:`.Dialect.import_dbapi`. 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 :class:`.Engine` is constructed using :func:`.create_engine` does the DBAPI get imported; at that point, the creation process will assign the DBAPI module to this attribute. Dialects should therefore implement :meth:`.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. .. versionchanged:: The :attr:`.Dialect.dbapi` attribute is exclusively used as the per-:class:`.Dialect`-instance reference to the DBAPI module. The previous not-fully-documented ``.Dialect.dbapi()`` classmethod is deprecated and replaced by :meth:`.Dialect.import_dbapi`.

reflection_options: Sequence[str] = (source)

Sequence of string names indicating keyword arguments that can be established on a :class:`.Table` object which will be passed as "reflection options" when using :paramref:`.Table.autoload_with`. Current example is "oracle_resolve_synonyms" in the Oracle dialect.

sequences_optional: bool = (source)

If True, indicates if the :paramref:`_schema.Sequence.optional` parameter on the :class:`_schema.Sequence` construct should signal to not generate a CREATE SEQUENCE.

supports_default_metavalue: bool = (source)

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.

supports_default_values: bool = (source)

dialect supports INSERT... DEFAULT VALUES syntax

supports_empty_insert: bool = (source)

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)".

supports_identity_columns: bool = (source)

supports_native_decimal: bool = (source)

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

supports_native_enum: bool = (source)

type_compiler_instance: TypeCompiler = (source)

instance of a :class:`.Compiled` class used to compile SQL type objects .. versionadded:: 2.0

update_executemany_returning: bool = (source)

dialect supports UPDATE..RETURNING with executemany.

update_returning: bool = (source)

if the dialect supports RETURNING with UPDATE .. versionadded:: 2.0

update_returning_multifrom: bool = (source)

if the dialect supports RETURNING with UPDATE..FROM .. versionadded:: 2.0

use_insertmanyvalues: bool = (source)

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 :class:`.DefaultDialect` as an :attr:`.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. .. versionadded:: 2.0 .. seealso:: :ref:`engine_insertmanyvalues`

use_insertmanyvalues_wo_returning: bool = (source)

if True, and use_insertmanyvalues is also True, INSERT statements that don't include RETURNING will also use "insertmanyvalues". .. versionadded:: 2.0
