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 following example sorts by a specified column using the session object's query() method:

rs = session.query(NorthwindProducts).order_by(NorthwindProducts.Price)
for instance in rs:
	print("Id: ", instance.Id)
	print("PartitionKey: ", instance.PartitionKey)
	print("Name: ", instance.Name)
	print("---------")

You can also use the session object's execute() method perform an ORDER BY. For example:

rs = session.execute(NorthwindProducts_table.select().order_by(NorthwindProducts_table.c.Price))
for instance in rs:

GROUP BY

The following example uses the session object's query() method to group records with a specified column:

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

You can also use the session object's execute() method to perform a GROUP BY:

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

LIMIT and OFFSET

The following example uses the session object's query() method to skip the first 100 records and fetch the following 25:

rs = session.query(NorthwindProducts).limit(25).offset(100)
for instance in rs:
	print("Id: ", instance.Id)
	print("PartitionKey: ", instance.PartitionKey)
	print("Name: ", instance.Name)
	print("---------")

You can also use the session object's execute() method to set a LIMIT or OFFSET:

rs = session.execute(NorthwindProducts_table.select().limit(25).offset(100))
for instance in rs:
