Thanks for the help. In case it helps someone in the future, here's the final incantation for what I needed: t = sa.Table( 'ip_entity', db, autoload=True ) s = t.alias( 'parent' ) c = sa.select( [ t.c.id, t.c.name, s.c.name.label( 'parent entity' ) ], from_obj = [ sa.outerjoin( t, s, t.c.parent_id == s.c.id ) ], order_by = [ t.c.id ] ).execute() Thanks again, e. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
