I would probably use session.connection().exec_driver_sql() for more 
succinctness.  

if you want to build a custom SQL construct you can check out @compiles at 
https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/20/core/compiler.html

not at all, execute() as well as connection().execute(), 
connection().exec_driver_sql() push the given SQL right out, which you can see 
by adding echo=True to your create_engine().
