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([CData].[Administrators].Users).order_by([CData].[Administrators].Users.TotalLoginsCustomColumn)
for instance in rs:
	print("Id: ", instance.Id)
	print("Username: ", instance.Username)
	print("Email: ", instance.Email)
	print("---------")

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

rs = session.execute([CData].[Administrators].Users_table.select().order_by([CData].[Administrators].Users_table.c.TotalLoginsCustomColumn))
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([CData].[Administrators].Users.Id).label("CustomCount"), [CData].[Administrators].Users.Username).group_by([CData].[Administrators].Users.Username)
for instance in rs:
	print("Count: ", instance.CustomCount)
	print("Username: ", instance.Username)
	print("---------")

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

rs = session.execute([CData].[Administrators].Users_table.select().with_only_columns([func.count([CData].[Administrators].Users_table.c.Id).label("CustomCount"), [CData].[Administrators].Users_table.c.Username]).group_by([CData].[Administrators].Users_table.c.Username))
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([CData].[Administrators].Users).limit(25).offset(100)
for instance in rs:
	print("Id: ", instance.Id)
	print("Username: ", instance.Username)
	print("Email: ", instance.Email)
	print("---------")

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

rs = session.execute([CData].[Administrators].Users_table.select().limit(25).offset(100))
for instance in rs:
