class documentation

Wrap a :class:`_expression.TextClause` construct within a :class:`_expression.SelectBase` interface. This allows the :class:`_expression.TextClause` object to gain a ``.c`` collection and other FROM-like capabilities such as :meth:`_expression.FromClause.alias`, :meth:`_expression.SelectBase.cte`, etc. The :class:`_expression.TextualSelect` construct is produced via the :meth:`_expression.TextClause.columns` method - see that method for details. .. versionchanged:: 1.4 the :class:`_expression.TextualSelect` class was renamed from ``TextAsFrom``, to more correctly suit its role as a SELECT-oriented object and not a FROM clause. .. seealso:: :func:`_expression.text` :meth:`_expression.TextClause.columns` - primary creation interface.

@HasMemoized_ro_memoized_attribute
def selected_columns(self) -> ColumnCollection[str, KeyedColumnElement[Any]]: (source)

A :class:`_expression.ColumnCollection` representing the columns that this SELECT statement or similar construct returns in its result set, not including :class:`_sql.TextClause` constructs. This collection differs from the :attr:`_expression.FromClause.columns` collection of a :class:`_expression.FromClause` in that the columns within this collection cannot be directly nested inside another SELECT statement; a subquery must be applied first which provides for the necessary parenthesization required by SQL. For a :class:`_expression.TextualSelect` construct, the collection contains the :class:`_expression.ColumnElement` objects that were passed to the constructor, typically via the :meth:`_expression.TextClause.columns` method. .. versionadded:: 1.4

def set_label_style(self, style: SelectLabelStyle) -> TextualSelect: (source)
