SELECT and Related Constructs
=================================
The term "selectable" refers to any object that represents database rows. In
SQLAlchemy, these objects descend from :class:`_expression.Selectable`, the
most prominent being :class:`_expression.Select`, which represents a SQL SELECT
statement. A subset of :class:`_expression.Selectable` is
:class:`_expression.FromClause`, which represents objects that can be within
the FROM clause of a :class:`.Select` statement. A distinguishing feature of
:class:`_expression.FromClause` is the :attr:`_expression.FromClause.c`
attribute, which is a namespace of all the columns contained within the FROM
clause (these elements are themselves :class:`_expression.ColumnElement`
subclasses).
.. currentmodule:: sqlalchemy.sql.expression
.. _selectable_foundational_constructors:
Selectable Foundational Constructors
--------------------------------------
Top level "FROM clause" and "SELECT" constructors.
.. autofunction:: except_
.. autofunction:: except_all
.. autofunction:: exists
.. autofunction:: intersect
.. autofunction:: intersect_all
.. autofunction:: select
.. autofunction:: table
.. autofunction:: union
.. autofunction:: union_all
.. autofunction:: values
.. _fromclause_modifier_constructors:
Selectable Modifier Constructors
---------------------------------
Functions listed here are more commonly available as methods from
:class:`_sql.FromClause` and :class:`_sql.Selectable` elements, for example,
the :func:`_sql.alias` function is usually invoked via the
:meth:`_sql.FromClause.alias` method.
.. autofunction:: alias
.. autofunction:: cte
.. autofunction:: join
.. autofunction:: lateral
.. autofunction:: outerjoin
.. autofunction:: tablesample
