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.

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

: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``.

a :class:`.ClauseElement` that will comprise the ``HAVING`` clause

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

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.

to the given :class:`.Table` or :class:`.Alias` passed as the
``selectable`` argument. The dialect implementation
typically uses Python string substitution syntax
with the token ``%(name)s`` to render the name of
the table or alias. E.g. when using Oracle, the
following::
select([mytable]).\
with_hint(mytable, "index(%(name)s ix_mytable)")
Would render SQL as::
select /*+ index(mytable ix_mytable) */ ... from mytable
The ``dialect_name`` option will limit the rendering of a particular
hint to a particular backend. Such as, to add hints for both Oracle
and Sybase simultaneously::
select([mytable]).\
with_hint(mytable, "index(%(name)s ix_mytable)", 'oracle').\
with_hint(mytable, "WITH INDEX ix_mytable", 'sybase')

r"""Return a new :func:`.select` construct with its columns
clause replaced with the given columns.
.. versionchanged:: 0.7.3
Due to a bug fix, this method has a slight
behavioral change as of version 0.7.3.
Prior to version 0.7.3, the FROM clause of
a :func:`.select` was calculated upfront and as new columns
were added; in 0.7.3 and later it's calculated
at compile time, fixing an issue regarding late binding
of columns to parent tables. This changes the behavior of
:meth:`.Select.with_only_columns` in that FROM clauses no
longer represented in the new list are dropped,
but this behavior is more consistent in
that the FROM clauses are consistently derived from the
current columns clause. The original intent of this method
is to allow trimming of the existing columns list to be fewer
columns than originally present; the use case of replacing
the columns list with an entirely different one hadn't
been anticipated until 0.7.3 was released; the usage
guidelines below illustrate how this should be done.
This method is exactly equivalent to as if the original
:func:`.select` had been called with the given columns
clause. I.e. a statement::
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'))
>>> s1 = select([table1.c.a, table2.c.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,
... table1.c.a==table2.c.a))
>>> 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.

which appear in a :class:`.Select` that encloses this one via
its :term:`WHERE clause`, ORDER BY, HAVING or

object's :term:`FROM clause`.
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
correlation regardless of how deeply nested this :class:`.Select`
object is, relative to an enclosing :class:`.Select` which refers to
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.
