Modifying Data
Commands can be executed individually by the session with a call to "execute()".
Obtaining the Table Object
The query supplied to this method is constructed using the associated Table object of a mapped class. This Table object is obtained from the mapped class's metadata field, as below:
"postgres"."schema01".Orders_table = "postgres"."schema01".Orders.metadata.tables["\"postgres\".\"schema01\".Orders"]
Once the table object is obtained, the write operations are executed in the following ways. The queries are executed immediately without the need for a call to "commit()":
Insert
The following example adds a new record to the table:
session.execute("postgres"."schema01".Orders_table.insert(), {"ShipName": "Raleigh", "ShipCity": "New York"})
Update
The following example modifies an existing record in the table:
session.execute("postgres"."schema01".Orders_table.update().where("postgres"."schema01".Orders_table.c.Id == "10261").values(ShipName="Raleigh", ShipCity="New York"))
Delete
The following example removes an existing record from the table:
session.execute("postgres"."schema01".Orders_table.delete().where("postgres"."schema01".Orders_table.c.Id == "10261"))
