I'm trying to discern a means of creating a .filter(A rel B) where the

I already have an SQLAlchemy statement, say
query = Session.query(table).filter(A==B)
and I want to be able to allow for a drilldown of sorts by the, such
that from the web page they can pick a value from a dropdown, a
relation (from a dropdown) and a textbox to compare to. But my problem
is once I have these three values, how do I get them into
the .filter() function? That's not going to merely accept string
values -- is there a way to do this?
Thanks, RVince
You can build your SQLAlchemy queries dynamically, i.e.
q1 = query.Session.query(table).filter(A == B)
q2 = q1.filter(C == D)
q3 = q2.filter(E == F)
you could apply different relationships using conditional Python statements:
if rel == 'eq':
q4 = q3.filter(G == H)
elif rel == 'neq':
q4 = q3.filter(G != H)
is this what you're looking for?
