Hi there,

I'm struggling to find an efficient way to get a two columned subset into 
dictionary form.

I have an entity that has a subset of data. The subset is linked to the 
entity via Id. The order of the subset of data is defined in another table.

Example:
Student - Id, firstname, lastname
Subjects - StudentId, SubjectCode, SubjectName

At the moment I'm looping through the SqlAlchemy result of 
"student.subjects" in python and creating a dictionary from that. It's 
quite heavy, especially when there are 2000+ students with a potential of 
100+ subjects each.

For each student, how do I get the subjects as a dictionary for a student 
where the key is the SubjectCode and the value is the SubjectName?
Better yet, how can I get a result set: Id, firstname, lastname SubjectCode 
x, SubjectCode y, etc etc (where the SubjectName becomes the value and the 
SubjectCode becomes the column)?

Regards,
Justin
