Hi, My question is based on this answer <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/913841/mysql-conditional-insert#913929> on Stackoverflow to the question *MySQL Conditional Insert*. In my current SA implementation I have the following code:
token = Token( user=user, client_sig=sigstring, ) session.add(token) # session.flush() Now I would like to prevent duplicate client_sig entries to prevent the same user having the same client_sig, but I can’t set that column to unique. It looks like the following SQL statement achieves what I want: INSERT INTO tokens(id, user_id, client_sig) SELECT '51…bb', 'fd…b3', 'some string' FROM dual WHERE NOT EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM tokens WHERE user_id='fd…b3' AND client_sig='some string' ); I found some documentation on insert … from select <http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/core/dml.html#sqlalchemy.sql.expression.Insert.from_select> but can not quite put the two together (I don't think they're the same). How would I go about implementing the above SQL statement using SA, or will I have to issue raw SQL in this case? Thank you!
