Umm, what I've meant is how to use postgresql

on_conflict_do_update in such a way that sqlalchemy would use executemany 
behind the scenes.

In examples it usage looks like this.

stmt = insert(table, values)
stmt = stmt.on_conflict_do_update(set_=dict(a=stmt.excluded.a))

excluded is generated from values, right? If I don't pass values to the 
statement, how can I use excluded?


you would not use insert(table, values), which as we reviewed earlier is not "executemany" syntax. the values are passed to execute() as the second argument, and is the list of values which are invoked for the statement one at a time. .excluded is a server side collection generated by Postgresql and is based on the current row being operated upon. These values are not returned to the client. They are only used in context of the statement.

think of executemany like this:


stmt = table.insert().on_conflict_do_update(set_=dict(a=stmt.excluded.a)).values(x = bindparam('x'), y=bindparam('y'))

def executemany(stmt, values):
    for value in values:
        conn.execute(stmt, value)


executemany(stmt, [{"x": 1, "y": 2}, {"x": 3, "y": 4}, ...])


e.g. if your statement works for one execute() and one set of parameters, it will work for any number of individual sets of parameters.
