I have posted this on Stackoverflow, but there was no response. https: //stackoverflow.com/questions/56891733/with-entities-referring-to-sqlite-column-aliased-with-label-self-contained-re
How do I use .with_entities to refer to the items? The following fails: from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String, create_engine, func from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker Base = declarative_base() from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String, create_engine, func from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker # Create data Base = declarative_base() class User(Base): __tablename__ = 'users' id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True) name = Column(String) fullname = Column(String) nickname = Column(String) engine = create_engine('sqlite://', echo=True) Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine) session = Session() Base.metadata.create_all(engine) session.add_all([ User(name='wendy', fullname='Wendy Williams'), User(name='mary', fullname='Mary Contrary'), User(name='fred', fullname='Fred Flintstone', nickname='freddy')]) session.commit() # End of create data items = session.query( User.id, User.name, func.coalesce(User.nickname, 'Nicky').label('nickname')) # Checking that with_entities works on original data set subset_items = session.query( User.id, User.name)\ .with_entities(User.name, User.nickname)\ .all() print(subset_items) # Great.... # Wanted: a subset with columns fullname and nickname only # Result is wrong, it does not use coalesce result special_items = items\ .with_entities(User.fullname, User.nickname) \ .all() print(special_items) -- SQLAlchemy - The Python SQL Toolkit and Object Relational Mapper http://www.sqlalchemy.org/ To post example code, please provide an MCVE: Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable Example.
