SQLAlchemy ORM also exposes support for other clauses in SQL, such as ORDER BY, GROUP BY, LIMIT, and OFFSET. All of these are supported by this connector:

ORDER BY

The below example sorts by a specified column using the session object's query() method.

for instance in session.query(USERS).order_by(USERS.AnnualRevenue):
	print("Id: ", instance.Id)
	print("Id: ", instance.Id)
	print("Username: ", instance.Username)
	print("---------")

Alternatively, you can perform an ORDER BY using the session object's execute() method.

for instance in session.execute(USERS_table.select().order_by(USERS_table.c.AnnualRevenue)):

GROUP BY

The below example groups records with a specified column using the session object's query() method.

for instance in session.query(func.count(USERS.Id).label("CustomCount"), USERS.Id).group_by(USERS.Id):
	print("Count: ", instance.CustomCount)
	print("Id: ", instance.Id)
	print("---------")

Alternatively, you can perform a GROUP BY using the session object's execute() method.

for instance in session.execute(USERS_table.select().with_only_columns([func.count(USERS_table.c.Id).label("CustomCount"), USERS_table.c.Id])group_by(USERS_table.c.Id)):

LIMIT and OFFSET

The below example skips the first 100 records and fetches the following 25 using the session object's query() method.

for instance in session.query(USERS).limit(25).offset(100):
	print("Id: ", instance.Id)
	print("Id: ", instance.Id)
	print("Username: ", instance.Username)
	print("---------")

Alternatively, you can set a LIMIT or OFFSET using the session object's execute() method.

for instance in session.execute(USERS_table.select().limit(25).offset(100)):
