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:

[CData].[Human_Resources].Workers_table = [CData].[Human_Resources].Workers.metadata.tables["[CData].[Human_Resources].Workers"]

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([CData].[Human_Resources].Workers_table.insert(), {"Worker_Reference_WID": "Jon Doe", "Legal_Name_Last_Name": "John"})

Update

The following example modifies an existing record in the table:

session.execute([CData].[Human_Resources].Workers_table.update().where([CData].[Human_Resources].Workers_table.c.Id == "0e44c92412d34b01ace61e80a47aaf6d").values(Worker_Reference_WID="Jon Doe", Legal_Name_Last_Name="John"))

Delete

The following example removes an existing record from the table:

session.execute([CData].[Human_Resources].Workers_table.delete().where([CData].[Human_Resources].Workers_table.c.Id == "0e44c92412d34b01ace61e80a47aaf6d"))
