Here are the docs for the Update.values() method: https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/13/core/dml.html#sqlalchemy.sql.expression.Update.values
Note that it supports two main calling styles, either keyword arguments: .values(name_column='cat') ...or passing a dictionary: .values({'name_column': 'cat'}) Since you want to choose the column dynamically, you can use the dictionary style: updatevalues = {custom_column: value} query = AIRPORT.update().values(updatevalues) Hope that helps, Simon On Thu, Jul 11, 2019 at 3:00 PM Mirek Morek <testere...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello everyone, > I have a following question: > > I use sqlalchemy within my python method as follows: > > > I want to be able to replace 'custom_column' with parameter passed in the > method.
