SQLAlchemy is broadly separated into 2 parts, "core" and "ORM" (which you can see as the left and right-hand sides on the front page of the documentation, http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_8/)
Table objects like the one you have below are part of the Core API. Columns of Table objects are accessible via the "c" property: process_files.c.process_id The ORM is built on top of the core API. When you do something like: class Files(Base): __tablename__ = 'files' id = sa.Column('id', sa.Integer, primary_key=True) …you are creating a "mapped class". You can access the columns of these directly like "Files.id". If you ever need access to the underlying Table object, you can get it from Files.__table__. When using things like session.query(), you can often use tables or mapped classes interchangeably.
