If that ID is the primary key, then don't bother with a DISTINCT(). Just select everything from the table. Otherwise you're going to make the backend select everything , then waste time doing the distinct. A quick way to confirm would be to just run these 2 commands: SELECT

It would probably be best for you to figure out the correct raw sql you want, then convert it to SqlAlchemy. Postgres is the only DB I know of that offers "DISTINCT ON (columns)" -- and even that works a bit awkward. The query that you want to do isn't actually simple -- there are concerns
