You could try DISTINCT ON in combination with a UNION... maybe. DISTINCT
ON is documented here:
http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/orm/query.html#sqlalchemy.orm.query.Query.distinct
and I'm not sure which dialects support this, apart from PostgreSQL.

[sqlalchemy] Removing duplicates

2012-05-08 Thread Eduardo
Hi,
Is there any function in sqlalchemy that filters out duplicates?
For example the following rows satisfy a query:
1. (john, 23 ,  lpgh )
2.(steve , 35 , dbr )
3. (john ,76, qwe)
4. (mark, 35, epz)
I would like that my query results contain only one row with john (either 1 
or 3 which one is not important) or with 35 (either 2 or 4).
I tried with distinct(col) but it could not do the work.
Thanks
