I had to put one little "trick" in here to make the subquery - <something> work, which is something i should look into; otherwise it went straight in.
from sqlalchemy import * transaction = table('transaction', column('id'), column('id_product'), column('price'), column('quantity') ) f1 = transaction.alias('f1') f2 = transaction.alias('f2') subquery = select([func.coalesce(func.sum(f2.c.quantity))], and_ (f2.c.id>f1.c.id, f2.c.id_product==bindparam('f2item')), scalar=True) s = select([f1.c.id, subquery.label('foo') - bindparam('offset').label ('offset')], and_( f1.c.id_product==bindparam('f1item'), bindparam('something') <= subquery ) , order_by=[desc(f1.c.id)], limit = 1 ) print s I think in 0.4 im going to deprecate "scalar=True" and instead have you say....select(...).scalar() On Jul 24, 2007, at 9:38 AM, Koen Bok wrote: > > I need to do a cumulative select on postgres, and I got it to work > with some extreme SQL query, but I was wondering if it could be done > more easily without having to drop to SQL but with SQLAlchemy > statements. > > Let's say I have a table with stock transactions like this: > > Transaction > id > id_product > price > quantity > > And it is filled like this: > > 1 1 12 10 > 2 1 13 5 > 3 1 12 3 > 4 1 11 6 > 5 1 10 5 > > Now at moment X my stock is 13 and I want to know the costs for each > product in my stock.
