I'm just posting this to the group for search equity-- Until recently (2012, via this commit https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/sqlalchemy/issue/2544), the way recommended several times in this group and stackoverflow to generate "IS NOT NULL" was to use a column opreation:
sq = sess.query(A.id.label('id')).filter(A.id.op('IS NOT')(None)) However, that will cause a sqlalchemy.exc.CompileError when print/compiling a statement with "literal binds" # this will raise an error print str(sq.statement.compile(dialect=postgresql.dialect(), compile_kwargs={"literal_binds": True})) To get around that issue, these forms will all compile correctly: # 0.7.9 and later sq = sess.query(A.id.label('id')).filter(A.id != None) # 0.7.8 and earlier sq = sess.query(A.id.label('id')).filter(A.id.op('IS NOT')(sqlalchemy.sql.expression.null())) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
