Hi Simon, Sorry I think I really didn't make what I'm asking for clear.
I have these codes nodes = NodesModel.find_by_project_uuid_and_topic_list(project_uuid=project_uuid, topic_list=node_dict['topics']) node_id_list = [node.id for node in nodes] select_sql = text('WITH pn_o AS (SELECT post_id, ARRAY_AGG(DISTINCT node_id) AS pn_nodes FROM pn GROUP BY post_id), ' 'n_o AS (SELECT ARRAY_AGG(DISTINCT node_id) as n_nodes FROM pn WHERE node_id IN :input_tuple) ' 'SELECT post_id FROM pn_o WHERE pn_nodes = (SELECT n_nodes FROM n_o)') params = {"input_tuple": tuple(node_id_list)} results = db.session.execute(select_sql, params).fetchall() Which does what I want. In the end, in results, I get a list of posts that have nodes that contain all the topics I need, in other words, the posts contain all the topic words. I'm just wondering, if there is a way to ORM the select_sql as I would prefer to work with the models than the raw SQL. And I'm doing it this way because I want the server to do the heavy lifting.

Here's an example that does what I *think* you're asking for: import sqlalchemy as sa import sqlalchemy.orm as saorm from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base Base = declarative_base() pn = sa.Table( "pn", Base.metadata, sa.Column("post_id", sa.Integer, sa.ForeignKey("posts.id")), sa.Column("node_id", sa.Integer, sa.ForeignKey("nodes.id")), ) class Node(Base): __tablename__ = "nodes" id = sa.Column(sa.Integer, autoincrement=True, primary_key=True) project_uuid = sa.Column(sa.Text, nullable=False) topic = sa.Column(sa.Text(20), nullable=False) posts = saorm.relationship("Post", secondary=pn, backref="nodes") class Post(Base): __tablename__ = "posts" id = sa.Column(sa.Integer, autoincrement=True, primary_key=True) project_uuid = sa.Column(sa.Text, nullable=False) if __name__ == "__main__": engine = sa.create_engine("sqlite://") Base.metadata.create_all(bind=engine) Session = saorm.sessionmaker(bind=engine) projectid = "42a8e275-f153-452b-99d3-645bdd513ca9" topics = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'] nodes = [Node(project_uuid=projectid, topic=t) for t in topics] posts = [Post(project_uuid=projectid) for i in range(11)] import random random.seed(0) for node in nodes: node.posts = random.sample(posts, 4) session = Session() session.add_all(nodes + posts) session.flush() node_ids = [1, 2] print("Looking for posts with node IDs: %s" % node_ids) posts = ( session.query(Post) .join("nodes") .filter(Node.id.in_(node_ids)) .all() ) for p in posts: print("Post %s: Node IDs %s" % (p.id, [n.id for n in p.nodes])) Simon On Mon, Jun 10, 2019 at 1:22 PM Desmond Lim <limwen...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi Simon, The tables and sample data are below. So first I search the nodes table for a and b, getting the node_id of them (in this example, 1 and 2). Then using the SQL statement, I would get all posts that have 1 and 2 as the node_id. So in the example data, 100, 103, 108 will be returned as these posts contain the nodes 1 and 2. Hope this helps.

I don't really understand your table structure. Could you present it in the form of a standalone script that we can run (including sample data)? Thanks, Simon On Mon, Jun 10, 2019 at 2:57 AM Desmond Lim <limwen...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi there, I really have no idea how to do this via sqlalchemy. I have 2 tables: class NodesModel(db.Model): __tablename__ = 'nodes' id = db.Column(db.BigInteger, primary_key=True) topic = db.Column(db.String(20), nullable=False) pn = relationship("PNModel", backref="nodes") class PNModel(db.Model): __tablename__ = 'pn' post_id = db.Column(db.BigInteger, db.ForeignKey('posts.id'), primary_key=True) node_id = db.Column(db.BigInteger, db.ForeignKey('nodes.id'), primary_key=True) I will get a list of nodes that have the topic (e.g. one, two). Then taking the nodes, I'll select the PN that have both nodes (it can be 1 or more) associated with it. e.g. I'm doing it this way at this point: nodes = NodesModel.find_by_topic_list(topic_list) node_id_list = [node.id for node in nodes] Then running this sql statement: WITH pn_1 AS (SELECT post_id, ARRAY_AGG(DISTINCT node_id) AS nodes FROM pn GROUP BY post_id), nodes_1 AS (SELECT ARRAY_AGG(DISTINCT id) AS s_nodes FROM pn WHERE node_id IN (dict(node_id_list)) SELECT DISTINCT post_id FROM pn_1 WHERE nodes_1 = (SELECT s_nodes FROM select_nodes); There has to be a better and more elegant way to do this with SQLAlchemy and I can't seem to figure it out. I've tried using subqueries and then I realised that I'm actually calling the nodes table twice, which I shouldn't have to. Can anyone tell me how to use the nodes table to get the post_id form pn (after which getting the post should be easy via ORM should be easy, I think). Thanks.
