[sqlalchemy] [Q] Struggle with exists
Hello. I don't know how to write the following query in SA (using constructs such as query, select, exists): SELECT EXISTS( SELECT 1 FROM imported_client_share JOIN imported_partner_share ON imported_client_share.deal_id = imported_partner_share.deal_id JOIN deal ON imported_client_share.deal_id = deal.id WHERE imported_client_share.client_id = :client_id AND imported_partner_share.partner_id = :partner_id AND deal.external_id IS NULL ) OR EXISTS( SELECT 1 FROM client_share JOIN partner_share ON client_share.deal_id = partner_share.deal_id JOIN deal ON client_share.deal_id = deal.id WHERE client_share.client_id = :client_id AND partner_share.partner_id = :partner_id AND deal.external_id IS NULL ) Can you help me? (I have read tutorial and API documentation several times but I still don't get it.)

Re: [sqlalchemy] [Q] Struggle with exists
we should probably add a method to Query called exists() that just turns any query into EXISTS (SELECT 1), here's how to make it work for now from sqlalchemy import exists q1 = session.query(ImportedClientShare) q1 = q1.join(ImportedPartnerShare, ImportedClientShare.deal_id == ImportedPartnerShare.deal_id) q1 = q1.join(Deal, ImportedClientShare.deal_id == Deal.id) q1 = q1.filter( ImportedClientShare.client_id == client_id, ImportedPartnerShare.partner_id == partner_id, Deal.external_id != None, ) q2 = session.query(ClientShare) q2 = q2.join(PartnerShare, ClientShare.deal_id == PartnerShare.deal_id) q2 = q2.join(Deal, ClientShare.deal_id == Deal.id) q2 = q2.filter( ClientShare.client_id == client_id, PartnerShare.partner_id == partner_id, Deal.external_id == None, ) q = session.query(exists(q1.with_entities('1').statement) | exists(q2.with_entities('1').statement)) On Mar 1, 2013, at 7:41 AM, Ladislav Lenart lenart...@volny.cz wrote: SELECT EXISTS( SELECT 1 FROM imported_client_share JOIN imported_partner_share ON imported_client_share.deal_id = imported_partner_share.deal_id JOIN deal ON imported_client_share.deal_id = deal.id WHERE imported_client_share.client_id = :client_id AND imported_partner_share.partner_id = :partner_id AND deal.external_id IS NULL ) OR EXISTS( SELECT 1 FROM client_share JOIN partner_share ON client_share.deal_id = partner_share.deal_id JOIN deal ON client_share.deal_id = deal.id WHERE client_share.client_id = :client_id AND partner_share.partner_id = :partner_id AND deal.external_id IS NULL ) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups sqlalchemy group.

Re: [sqlalchemy] [Q] Struggle with exists
Thank you! I was missing the following bit(s): q = session.query( exists(q1.with_entities('1').statement) | exists(q2.with_entities('1').statement) ) I knew about Query.statement but I did not figure out how to combine that with OR. It did not occur to me that I can write session.query(or_(...)) directly. with_entities() construct is also new to me, though I presume that SQL engines optimize SELECTs in EXISTS automatically. I must admit that I did not understand your example the first time I saw it. But once I run it in the debugger, everything has become clear and logical: session.query( # renders top-level SELECT or_( # q.exists() is a core construct and thus cannot accept # a query object. q.statement returns select represented # by the query, which IS a core construct. # q.with_entities('1') replaces q's SELECT... part. exists(q1.with_entities('1').statement), exists(q2.with_entities('1').statement), ) ) One unrelated question: What is the difference between Query.add_column() and Query.add_entity()?
