Everyone - TIA for any help.  Here's my situation - I've got a large
number of different tables that all have the same columns.  I'd like
to treat these tables as one giant table that I can query against.  I
thought I could do this by unioning all the tables, making a subquery
and using the arbitrary "c" attribute, but I'm not successful in the
slightest.  Here's what I'm trying to do in some pseudo code:

queries = []
for table_class in table_classes:
    q = Session.query(table_class)
    q = q.filter(<some filters>)
    queries.append(q)

q = queries[0].union_all(*queries[1:])
q = q.subquery

alias1 = aliased(some_table_1)

uber_query = Session.query( alias1.col1, alias1.col2, q.c.col1,
q.c.col2)


The idea is that the tables that all have the same columns will be
represented by 'col1' and so on.  But, well, this isn't working.  I
realize my approach may not be correct, I'll take any help I can
get.


Tremendous thanks to anyone who reads this,

Carl
