Assuming you're in the ORM, there's also a per-instance delete : http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_8/orm/events.html#sqlalchemy.orm.events.MapperEvents.after_delete
but `session.query().delete()` suggests you don't want to load objects into the ORM, and just want to delete things matching a query. i could be wrong -- i've only done `session.delete()` with the ORM. if that's the case though, oracle and postgres have a `RETURNING` argument to `DELETE` ( mysql and others do not ) it's supported in sqlalchemy's postgres and oracle dialects: http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/dialects/postgresql.html#insert-update-returning http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/dialects/oracle.html#returning-support if you're on mysql, I think you'd need to do separate SELECT and DELETE statements. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
