[sqlalchemy] Can you declaratively concatenate two columns

Hi does anyone know if is possible to declaratively concatenate two columns together which you can later do query's on. E.g. if I wanted to compute a new column course_name made up of CONCAT(course_code,course_name) Base = declarative_base() class Course(Base): __tablename__ = 'Course'

Hey Royce, This sounds like a job for composite columns: http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/orm/mapper_config.html#composite-column-types One gotcha that I ran into here is that you cannot have both the component columns and the composite column mapped at the same time, like you do in your example.
