+ The :class:`.CreateColumn` construct can also be used to skip certain
+ columns when producing a ``CREATE TABLE``. This is accomplished by
+ creating a compilation rule that conditionally returns ``None``.
+ For example, to produce a
+ :class:`.Table` which includes the Postgresql system column ``xmin``,
+ but omits this column from the ``CREATE TABLE``::
+
+ from sqlalchemy.schema import CreateColumn
+
+ @compiles(CreateColumn)
+ def skip_xmin(element, compiler, **kw):
+ if element.element.name == 'xmin':
+ return None
+ else:
+ return compiler.visit_create_column(element, **kw)
+
+
+ my_table = Table('mytable', metadata,
+ Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True),
+ Column('xmin', Integer)
+ )
+
+ Above, a :class:`.CreateTable` construct will generate a ``CREATE TABLE``
+ which only includes the ``id`` column in the string; the ``xmin`` column
+ will be omitted.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 0.8.3 The :class:`.CreateColumn` construct supports
+ skipping of columns by returning ``None`` from a custom compilation rule.
+
.. versionadded:: 0.8 The :class:`.CreateColumn` construct was added
to support custom column creation styles.
