FYI, there seems to be a limitation of the implementation of params for
textual SQL - params appears to silently insert single quotes, preventing
the use of params to describe column names in the SQL query. The workaround
is to use a conventional string with Python .format (which in my mind begs
the question as to why SQLAlchemy needs its own method handling params ...
?).
To explain, I was trying to use a parameter for the column name as well as
the value:
session.query(Table).filter(:column_name =
:value).params(column_name='foo', value = 'bar')
And when this didn't work, I tried putting :value in single quotes:
session.query(Table).filter(:column_name =
':value').params(column_name='foo', value = 'bar')
This threw an error which revealed that params was inserting single quotes
(and preventing the use of params to describe column names, as column names
can't be encapsulated in SQL):
LINE 1: SELECT * FROM Table WHERE 'foo' = ''bar'' ...
My workaround is to use from_statement with Python format:'
session.query(Table).from_statement("SELECT * FROM Table WHERE
{column_name} = '{value}'".format(column_name='foo', value='bar'))

p.s. Am loving SQLAlchemy, thank you.
