Return ``other operator ALL (array)`` clause. .. note:: This method is an :class:`_types.ARRAY` - specific construct that is now superseded by the :func:`_sql.any_` function, which features a different calling style. The :func:`_sql.any_` function is also mirrored at the method level via the :meth:`_sql.ColumnOperators.any_` method. Usage of array-specific :meth:`_types.ARRAY.Comparator.all` is as follows:: from sqlalchemy.sql import operators conn.execute( select(table.c.data).where( table.c.data.all(7, operator=operators.lt) ) ) :param other: expression to be compared :param operator: an operator object from the :mod:`sqlalchemy.sql.operators` package, defaults to :func:`.operators.eq`. .. seealso:: :func:`_expression.all_` :meth:`.types.ARRAY.Comparator.any`

sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql.ARRAY.Comparator
Implement the 'contains' operator. Produces a LIKE expression that tests against a match for the middle of a string value:: column LIKE '%' || <other> || '%' E.g.:: stmt = select(sometable).\ where(sometable.c.column.contains("foobar")) Since the operator uses ``LIKE``, wildcard characters ``"%"`` and ``"_"`` that are present inside the <other> expression will behave like wildcards as well. For literal string values, the :paramref:`.ColumnOperators.contains.autoescape` flag may be set to ``True`` to apply escaping to occurrences of these characters within the string value so that they match as themselves and not as wildcard characters. Alternatively, the :paramref:`.ColumnOperators.contains.escape` parameter will establish a given character as an escape character which can be of use when the target expression is not a literal string. :param other: expression to be compared. This is usually a plain string value, but can also be an arbitrary SQL expression. LIKE wildcard characters ``%`` and ``_`` are not escaped by default unless the :paramref:`.ColumnOperators.contains.autoescape` flag is set to True. :param autoescape: boolean; when True, establishes an escape character within the LIKE expression, then applies it to all occurrences of ``"%"``, ``"_"`` and the escape character itself within the comparison value, which is assumed to be a literal string and not a SQL expression. An expression such as:: somecolumn.contains("foo%bar", autoescape=True) Will render as:: somecolumn LIKE '%' || :param || '%' ESCAPE '/' With the value of ``:param`` as ``"foo/%bar"``. :param escape: a character which when given will render with the ``ESCAPE`` keyword to establish that character as the escape character. This character can then be placed preceding occurrences of ``%`` and ``_`` to allow them to act as themselves and not wildcard characters. An expression such as:: somecolumn.contains("foo/%bar", escape="^") Will render as:: somecolumn LIKE '%' || :param || '%' ESCAPE '^' The parameter may also be combined with :paramref:`.ColumnOperators.contains.autoescape`:: somecolumn.contains("foo%bar^bat", escape="^", autoescape=True) Where above, the given literal parameter will be converted to ``"foo^%bar^^bat"`` before being passed to the database. .. seealso:: :meth:`.ColumnOperators.startswith` :meth:`.ColumnOperators.endswith` :meth:`.ColumnOperators.like`
