OK, thanks,
it does work if you make an alias on the select like this:
s = select([left.c.car_id,
left.c.temperature.label('left_temperature'),
right.c.temperature.label('right_temperature')],
from_obj=tables,
whereclause=and_(left.c.side == 'left',
right.c.side == 'right')).alias('carside')
Thanks a lot!
Now, is it really needed to translate my SQL query first to SA-speak
or could I use the SQL directly in some way? (I have many old projects
with SQL embedded in Perl scripts, so it would be someway easier is I
can transfer the SQL directly).
>From session.query() there is something like from_statement
(SQL_string) but that won't work here I think.
Again, many thanks,
Jan.
