Hi,

How should one create SQLite temporary tables using SQLAlchemy? The following 
does not work:

        from sqlalchemy import create_engine, Column, String
        from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
        from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker
        from sqlalchemy.schema import CreateTable

        Base = declarative_base()

        class TempTest(Base):
            __tablename__ = 'temp_test'
            __table_args__ = {'schema': 'temp'}
            name = Column(String, primary_key=True)

        engine = create_engine('sqlite:////tmp/testdb', echo=True)
        Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
        session = Session()

        
TempTest.__table__.create(session.bind.execution_options(autocommit=False))
        session.add(TempTest(name='foo'))
        session.flush() # Fails

Although I see the "CREATE TABLE" being emitted, INSERT fails saying the table 
does not exist. If instead of calling TempTest.__table__.create() I use the 
underlying DBAPI connection, then I can make it work, but it's ugly:

        dbapi_con = session.connection().connection.connection
        dbapi_con.execute(str(CreateTable(TempTest.__table__, 
bind=session.bind)))
        session.add(TempTest(name='foo'))
        session.flush() # Succeeds

Is there a nicer way to do this?

Thanks,
Gabor
