I have a table described with: BASE = declarative_base(name=APP_ID)
class Period(BASE): __tablename__ = 'period' realperiod = Column(Integer, primary_key=True) cycle = Column(Integer) [more columns] I want to delete all records with a given value for the "cycle" column. With the SQLAlchemy session in the variable session and the desired cycle in y, I execute q = session.query(Period).filter(Period.cycle==y).delete() This correctly deletes the desired rows and returns the number of rows deleted; however, if I turn echo on I see the following SQL commands: SELECT period.realperiod AS period_realperiod FROM period WHERE period.cycle = ? DELETE FROM period WHERE period.cycle = ? If I were doing this in SQL, I would to the first command as SELECT count(*) FROM period WHERE period.cycle = ? to get the count of rows to be deleted so I am wondering if I am doing things correctly.
