Do we stumble on different expectations for the usage of bind parameters? https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/13/core/tutorial.html#operators Is there a need for an adjusted SQL coding style? > use literal_column('*') if you prefer. I would prefer to get my query to work also without this function call. But it seems that your programming interface contains a requirement for such a data conversion. Did the Python decorator “compiles” take care of this detail?
