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:

Customers_table = Customers.metadata.tables["Customers"]

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(Customers_table.insert(), {"Id": "Trujilo, Ana", "Name": "Hook, Captain"})

Update

The following example modifies an existing record in the table:

session.execute(Customers_table.update().where(Customers_table.c.Id == "10456255-0015501366").values(Id="Trujilo, Ana", Name="Hook, Captain"))

Delete

The following example removes an existing record from the table:

session.execute(Customers_table.delete().where(Customers_table.c.Id == "10456255-0015501366"))
