[sqlalchemy] Help on Counting Please

2013-10-23 Thread Warwick Prince
Hi All

Please excuse this relatively noob question, but I can not for the life of me 
find the answer in docs. (Probably because I don't know what I'm looking for).

I have a table with two columns A and B.   A can have many duplicate values. 
e.g. 

A B

1  a
1  b
1  c
1  d
2  f
2  g
3  z

I want to have a result that returns all the values of A, and how many times 
they appear in the table.

Sample result from above would be;

14
22
31

Clearly, I'm no SQL wizz, so I have the added issue of not knowing the raw SQL, 
let alone SQLAlchemy's take on it.

If you can provide the answer using table.select() type query, rather than the 
ORM equivalent it would be most appreciated.  :-)

Thanks in anticipation.

Cheers
Warwick

Hi,

Have you tried:

select A, count(*) from the_table group by A

Hi Anh

Thanks for clearing my head.  I had devised considerably more complex attempts!

So, the answer is;

table.select().group_by(table.c.A).with_only_columns([table.c.A, 
func.count(1).label('count')]).execute().fetchall()

:-)
