Awesome thank you.
So even though the Table object is attached to the metadata that was bound
to the engine that uses a mysql connection, I have to explicitly set the
dialect and compile when printing out the literal sql.
When I execute, is this handled seamlessly by the engine? Or do I need to
explicitly compile to the mysql dialect before executing?
