I have a use case where detail data is collected during operation then
copied periodically to a history table. In SA, tables look something
like this:
#history data
history = Table('history', metadata,
Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True),
Column('naturalkey', String, unique=True, nullable=False),
Column('data', String, nullable=False)
)
#daily detail data
detail = Table('detail', metadata,
Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True),
Column('naturalkey', String, unique=True),
Column('data', String, nullable=False)
)
Copying the data using SQL can be accomplished in one statement by
inserting into history the data selected from detail. Using SA I can
accomplish this using text() to construct a statement
stmt = text("""INSERT INTO history (naturalkey, data)
SELECT naturalkey, data FROM detail""")
conn.execute(stmt)
Is there some way to construct the statement using higher level
construct than text()? For efficiency, I would want to get the same
SQL generated, not a series of inserts or even an executemany()
construct.
I have tried a couple of variations combining history.insert() and
detail.select() without success.
