An :class:`.Alias` represents any :class:`.FromClause`

clause when generated, e.g. ``SELECT * FROM table AS aliasname``.
Similar functionality is available via the
:meth:`~.FromClause.alias` method
available on all :class:`.FromClause` subclasses.
When an :class:`.Alias` is created from a :class:`.Table` object,
this has the effect of the table being rendered
as ``tablename AS aliasname`` in a SELECT statement.
For :func:`.select` objects, the effect is that of creating a named
subquery, i.e. ``(select ...) AS aliasname``.
The ``name`` parameter is optional, and provides the name
to use in the rendered SQL. If blank, an "anonymous" name
will be deterministically generated at compile time.
Deterministic means the name is guaranteed to be unique against
other constructs used in the same statement, and will also be the
same name for each successive compilation of the same statement
object.
:param selectable: any :class:`.FromClause` subclass,
such as a table, select statement, etc.

If ``None``, a name will be deterministically generated

The default behavior here is to first produce a SELECT
construct from this :class:`.Join`, then to produce an
:class:`.Alias` from that. So given a join of the form::
j = table_a.join(table_b, table_a.c.id == table_b.c.a_id)
The JOIN by itself would look like::
table_a JOIN table_b ON table_a.id = table_b.a_id
Whereas the alias of the above, ``j.alias()``, would in a
SELECT context look like::
(SELECT table_a.id AS table_a_id, table_b.id AS table_b_id,
table_b.a_id AS table_b_a_id
FROM table_a
JOIN table_b ON table_a.id = table_b.a_id) AS anon_1
The equivalent long-hand form, given a :class:`.Join` object
``j``, is::
from sqlalchemy import select, alias
j = alias(
select([j.left, j.right]).\
select_from(j).\
with_labels(True).\
correlate(False),
name=name
)
The selectable produced by :meth:`.Join.alias` features the same
columns as that of the two individual selectables presented under
a single name - the individual columns are "auto-labeled", meaning
the ``.c.`` collection of the resulting :class:`.Alias` represents
the names of the individual columns using a
``<tablename>_<columname>`` scheme::
j.c.table_a_id
j.c.table_b_a_id
:meth:`.Join.alias` also features an alternate
option for aliasing joins which produces no enclosing SELECT and
does not normally apply labels to the column names. The
``flat=True`` option will call :meth:`.FromClause.alias`
against the left and right sides individually.
Using this option, no new ``SELECT`` is produced;
we instead, from a construct as below::
j = table_a.join(table_b, table_a.c.id == table_b.c.a_id)
j = j.alias(flat=True)
we get a result like this::
table_a AS table_a_1 JOIN table_b AS table_b_1 ON
table_a_1.id = table_b_1.a_id
The ``flat=True`` argument is also propagated to the contained
selectables, so that a composite join such as::
j = table_a.join(
table_b.join(table_c,
table_b.c.id == table_c.c.b_id),
table_b.c.a_id == table_a.c.id
).alias(flat=True)
Will produce an expression like::
table_a AS table_a_1 JOIN (
table_b AS table_b_1 JOIN table_c AS table_c_1
ON table_b_1.id = table_c_1.b_id
) ON table_a_1.id = table_b_1.a_id
The standalone :func:`~.expression.alias` function as well as the
base :meth:`.FromClause.alias` method also support the ``flat=True``
argument as a no-op, so that the argument can be passed to the
``alias()`` method of any selectable.

Common table expressions are a SQL standard whereby SELECT
statements can draw upon secondary statements specified along
with the primary statement, using a clause called "WITH".
Special semantics regarding UNION can also be employed to
allow "recursive" queries, where a SELECT statement can draw
upon the set of rows that have previously been selected.
CTEs can also be applied to DML constructs UPDATE, INSERT
and DELETE on some databases, both as a source of CTE rows
when combined with RETURNING, as well as a consumer of
CTE rows.
SQLAlchemy detects :class:`.CTE` objects, which are treated
similarly to :class:`.Alias` objects, as special elements
to be delivered to the FROM clause of the statement as well
as to a WITH clause at the top of the statement.
.. versionchanged:: 1.1 Added support for UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE as
CTE, CTEs added to UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE.
:param name: name given to the common table expression. Like
:meth:`._FromClause.alias`, the name can be left as ``None``
in which case an anonymous symbol will be used at query
compile time.
:param recursive: if ``True``, will render ``WITH RECURSIVE``.
A recursive common table expression is intended to be used in
conjunction with UNION ALL in order to derive rows
from those already selected.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/queries-with.html,
as well as additional examples.

an :class:`~.Engine` or :class:`~.Connection` instance

whatever :class:`~.base.Connectable` instances can be located within
its contained :class:`.ClauseElement` members.

indicates that this :class:`.Select` object should have its

correlations on an existing :class:`.Select` construct using
:meth:`.Select.correlate`.
.. seealso::
:meth:`.Select.correlate` - full description of correlation.
:param distinct=False:
when ``True``, applies a ``DISTINCT`` qualifier to the columns
clause of the resulting statement.
The boolean argument may also be a column expression or list
of column expressions - this is a special calling form which
is understood by the PostgreSQL dialect to render the
``DISTINCT ON (<columns>)`` syntax.
``distinct`` is also available on an existing :class:`.Select`
object via the :meth:`~.Select.distinct` method.

when ``True``, applies ``FOR UPDATE`` to the end of the
resulting statement.
.. deprecated:: 0.9.0 - use
:meth:`.Select.with_for_update` to specify the
structure of the ``FOR UPDATE`` clause.
``for_update`` accepts various string values interpreted by
specific backends, including:
* ``"read"`` - on MySQL, translates to ``LOCK IN SHARE MODE``;
on PostgreSQL, translates to ``FOR SHARE``.
* ``"nowait"`` - on PostgreSQL and Oracle, translates to
``FOR UPDATE NOWAIT``.
* ``"read_nowait"`` - on PostgreSQL, translates to
``FOR SHARE NOWAIT``.
.. seealso::
:meth:`.Select.with_for_update` - improved API for

:meth:`.Select.group_by` method on an existing :class:`.Select`.
.. seealso::
:meth:`.Select.group_by`
:param having:
a :class:`.ClauseElement` that will comprise the ``HAVING`` clause
of the resulting select when ``GROUP BY`` is used. This parameter
is typically specified more naturally using the
:meth:`.Select.having` method on an existing :class:`.Select`.
.. seealso::
:meth:`.Select.having`
:param limit=None:
a numerical value which usually renders as a ``LIMIT``

functionality. This parameter is typically specified more naturally
using the :meth:`.Select.limit` method on an existing

functionality. This parameter is typically specified more naturally
using the :meth:`.Select.offset` method on an existing
:class:`.Select`.

This parameter is typically specified more naturally using the
:meth:`.Select.order_by` method on an existing :class:`.Select`.

when ``True``, the statement will be generated using labels
for each column in the columns clause, which qualify each
column with its parent table's (or aliases) name so that name
conflicts between columns in different tables don't occur.
The format of the label is <tablename>_<column>. The "c"
collection of the resulting :class:`.Select` object will use these
names as well for targeting column members.
This parameter can also be specified on an existing

method.

s = select([table1.c.a, table1.c.b])
s = s.with_only_columns([table1.c.b])
should be exactly equivalent to::
s = select([table1.c.b])
This means that FROM clauses which are only derived
from the column list will be discarded if the new column
list no longer contains that FROM::
>>> table1 = table('t1', column('a'), column('b'))
>>> table2 = table('t2', column('a'), column('b'))

>>> print s1
SELECT t1.a, t2.b FROM t1, t2
>>> s2 = s1.with_only_columns([table2.c.b])
>>> print s2
SELECT t2.b FROM t1
The preferred way to maintain a specific FROM clause
in the construct, assuming it won't be represented anywhere
else (i.e. not in the WHERE clause, etc.) is to set it using
:meth:`.Select.select_from`::
>>> s1 = select([table1.c.a, table2.c.b]).\
... select_from(table1.join(table2,

>>> s2 = s1.with_only_columns([table2.c.b])
>>> print s2
SELECT t2.b FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t1.a=t2.a
Care should also be taken to use the correct
set of column objects passed to :meth:`.Select.with_only_columns`.
Since the method is essentially equivalent to calling the
:func:`.select` construct in the first place with the given
columns, the columns passed to :meth:`.Select.with_only_columns`
should usually be a subset of those which were passed
to the :func:`.select` construct, not those which are available
from the ``.c`` collection of that :func:`.select`. That
is::
s = select([table1.c.a, table1.c.b]).select_from(table1)
s = s.with_only_columns([table1.c.b])
and **not**::
# usually incorrect
s = s.with_only_columns([s.c.b])
The latter would produce the SQL::
SELECT b
FROM (SELECT t1.a AS a, t1.b AS b
FROM t1), t1
Since the :func:`.select` construct is essentially being
asked to select both from ``table1`` as well as itself.

Setting an explicit correlation collection using the
:meth:`.Select.correlate` method provides a fixed list of FROM objects
that can potentially take place in this process.
When :meth:`.Select.correlate` is used to apply specific FROM clauses
for correlation, the FROM elements become candidates for

the same FROM object. This is in contrast to the behavior of
"auto-correlation" which only correlates to an immediate enclosing
:class:`.Select`. Multi-level correlation ensures that the link
between enclosed and enclosing :class:`.Select` is always via
at least one WHERE/ORDER BY/HAVING/columns clause in order for
correlation to take place.
