class documentation

The base-most class for Core constructs that have some concept of columns that can represent rows. While the SELECT statement and TABLE are the primary things we think of in this category, DML like INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE can also specify RETURNING which means they can be used in CTEs and other forms, and PostgreSQL has functions that return rows also. .. versionadded:: 1.4

def is_derived_from(self, fromclause: Optional[FromClause]) -> bool: (source)

Return ``True`` if this :class:`.ReturnsRows` is 'derived' from the given :class:`.FromClause`. An example would be an Alias of a Table is derived from that Table.

A :class:`_expression.ColumnCollection` that represents the "exported" columns of this :class:`_expression.ReturnsRows`. The "exported" columns represent the collection of :class:`_expression.ColumnElement` expressions that are rendered by this SQL construct. There are primary varieties which are the "FROM clause columns" of a FROM clause, such as a table, join, or subquery, the "SELECTed columns", which are the columns in the "columns clause" of a SELECT statement, and the RETURNING columns in a DML statement.. .. versionadded:: 1.4 .. seealso:: :attr:`_expression.FromClause.exported_columns` :attr:`_expression.SelectBase.exported_columns`

Undocumented

def _refresh_for_new_column(self, column: ColumnElement[Any]): (source)

reset internal collections for an incoming column being added.

@util.ro_non_memoized_property
_all_selected_columns: _SelectIterable = (source)

A sequence of column expression objects that represents the "selected" columns of this :class:`_expression.ReturnsRows`. This is typically equivalent to .exported_columns except it is delivered in the form of a straight sequence and not keyed :class:`_expression.ColumnCollection`.
