SQLAlchemy 0.8 Documentation
Project Versions
This section provides API documentation for the Query object and related constructs.
For an in-depth introduction to querying with the SQLAlchemy ORM, please see the Object Relational Tutorial.
The Query Object¶
Query is produced in terms of a given Session, using the query() function:
q = session.query(SomeMappedClass)
Following is the full interface for the Query object.
- class sqlalchemy.orm.query.Query(entities, session=None)¶
ORM-level SQL construction object.
Query is the source of all SELECT statements generated by the ORM, both those formulated by end-user query operations as well as by high level internal operations such as related collection loading. It features a generative interface whereby successive calls return a new Query object, a copy of the former with additional criteria and options associated with it.
Query objects are normally initially generated using the query() method of Session. For a full walkthrough of Query usage, see the Object Relational Tutorial.
- add_column(column)¶
Add a column expression to the list of result columns to be returned.
Pending deprecation: add_column() will be superseded by add_columns().
- add_columns(*column)¶
Add one or more column expressions to the list of result columns to be returned.
- add_entity(entity, alias=None)¶
add a mapped entity to the list of result columns to be returned.
- all()¶
Return the results represented by this Query as a list.
This results in an execution of the underlying query.
- as_scalar()¶
Return the full SELECT statement represented by this Query, converted to a scalar subquery.
Analogous to sqlalchemy.sql.expression.SelectBase.as_scalar().
New in version 0.6.5.
- autoflush(setting)¶
Return a Query with a specific 'autoflush' setting.
Note that a Session with autoflush=False will not autoflush, even if this flag is set to True at the Query level. Therefore this flag is usually used only to disable autoflush for a specific Query.
- column_descriptions¶
Return metadata about the columns which would be returned by this Query.
Format is a list of dictionaries:
user_alias = aliased(User, name='user2') q = sess.query(User, User.id, user_alias) # this expression: q.column_descriptions # would return: [ { 'name':'User', 'type':User, 'aliased':False, 'expr':User, }, { 'name':'id', 'type':Integer(), 'aliased':False, 'expr':User.id, }, { 'name':'user2', 'type':User, 'aliased':True, 'expr':user_alias } ]
- correlate(*args)¶
Return a Query construct which will correlate the given FROM clauses to that of an enclosing Query or select().
The method here accepts mapped classes, aliased() constructs, and mapper() constructs as arguments, which are resolved into expression constructs, in addition to appropriate expression constructs.
The correlation arguments are ultimately passed to Select.correlate() after coercion to expression constructs.
The correlation arguments take effect in such cases as when Query.from_self() is used, or when a subquery as returned by Query.subquery() is embedded in another select() construct.
- count()¶
Return a count of rows this Query would return.
This generates the SQL for this Query as follows:
SELECT count(1) AS count_1 FROM ( SELECT <rest of query follows...> ) AS anon_1
Changed in version 0.7: The above scheme is newly refined as of 0.7b3.
For fine grained control over specific columns to count, to skip the usage of a subquery or otherwise control of the FROM clause, or to use other aggregate functions, use func expressions in conjunction with query(), i.e.:
from sqlalchemy import func # count User records, without # using a subquery. session.query(func.count(User.id)) # return count of user "id" grouped # by "name" session.query(func.count(User.id)).\ group_by(User.name) from sqlalchemy import distinct # count distinct "name" values session.query(func.count(distinct(User.name)))
- cte(name=None, recursive=False)¶
Return the full SELECT statement represented by this Query represented as a common table expression (CTE).
New in version 0.7.6.
Parameters and usage are the same as those of the SelectBase.cte() method; see that method for further details.
Here is the Postgresql WITH RECURSIVE example. Note that, in this example, the included_parts cte and the incl_alias alias of it are Core selectables, which means the columns are accessed via the .c. attribute. The parts_alias object is an orm.aliased() instance of the Part entity, so column-mapped attributes are available directly:
from sqlalchemy.orm import aliased class Part(Base): __tablename__ = 'part' part = Column(String, primary_key=True) sub_part = Column(String, primary_key=True) quantity = Column(Integer) included_parts = session.query( Part.sub_part, Part.part, Part.quantity).\ filter(Part.part=="our part").\ cte(name="included_parts", recursive=True) incl_alias = aliased(included_parts, name="pr") parts_alias = aliased(Part, name="p") included_parts = included_parts.union_all( session.query( parts_alias.sub_part, parts_alias.part, parts_alias.quantity).\ filter(parts_alias.part==incl_alias.c.sub_part) ) q = session.query( included_parts.c.sub_part, func.sum(included_parts.c.quantity). label('total_quantity') ).\ group_by(included_parts.c.sub_part)

- delete(synchronize_session='evaluate')¶
Perform a bulk delete query.
Deletes rows matched by this query from the database.
Parameters: synchronize_session¶ –
chooses the strategy for the removal of matched objects from the session. Valid values are:
False - don't synchronize the session. This option is the most efficient and is reliable once the session is expired, which typically occurs after a commit(), or explicitly using expire_all(). Before the expiration, objects may still remain in the session which were in fact deleted which can lead to confusing results if they are accessed via get() or already loaded collections.
'fetch' - performs a select query before the delete to find objects that are matched by the delete query and need to be removed from the session. Matched objects are removed from the session.
'evaluate' - Evaluate the query's criteria in Python straight on the objects in the session. If evaluation of the criteria isn't implemented, an error is raised. In that case you probably want to use the 'fetch' strategy as a fallback.
The expression evaluator currently doesn't account for differing string collations between the database and Python.
Returns: the count of rows matched as returned by the database's "row count" feature.
This method has several key caveats:
The method does not offer in-Python cascading of relationships - it is assumed that ON DELETE CASCADE/SET NULL/etc. is configured for any foreign key references which require it, otherwise the database may emit an integrity violation if foreign key references are being enforced.
After the DELETE, dependent objects in the Session which were impacted by an ON DELETE may not contain the current state, or may have been deleted. This issue is resolved once the Session is expired, which normally occurs upon Session.commit() or can be forced by using Session.expire_all(). Accessing an expired object whose row has been deleted will invoke a SELECT to locate the row; when the row is not found, an ObjectDeletedError is raised.
The MapperEvents.before_delete() and MapperEvents.after_delete() events are not invoked from this method. Instead, the SessionEvents.after_bulk_delete() method is provided to act upon a mass DELETE of entity rows.

- distinct(*criterion)¶
Apply a DISTINCT to the query and return the newly resulting Query.
Parameters: *expr¶ – optional column expressions. When present, the Postgresql dialect will render a DISTINCT ON (<expressions>>) construct.
- enable_assertions(value)¶
Control whether assertions are generated.
When set to False, the returned Query will not assert its state before certain operations, including that LIMIT/OFFSET has not been applied when filter() is called, no criterion exists when get() is called, and no "from_statement()" exists when filter()/order_by()/group_by() etc. is called. This more permissive mode is used by custom Query subclasses to specify criterion or other modifiers outside of the usual usage patterns.
Care should be taken to ensure that the usage pattern is even possible. A statement applied by from_statement() will override any criterion set by filter() or order_by(), for example.
- enable_eagerloads(value)¶
Control whether or not eager joins and subqueries are rendered.
When set to False, the returned Query will not render eager joins regardless of joinedload(), subqueryload() options or mapper-level lazy='joined'/lazy='subquery' configurations.
This is used primarily when nesting the Query's statement into a subquery or other selectable.
- except_(*q)¶
Produce an EXCEPT of this Query against one or more queries.
Works the same way as union(). See that method for usage examples.
- except_all(*q)¶
Produce an EXCEPT ALL of this Query against one or more queries.
Works the same way as union(). See that method for usage examples.
- execution_options(**kwargs)¶
Set non-SQL options which take effect during execution.
The options are the same as those accepted by Connection.execution_options().
Note that the stream_results execution option is enabled automatically if the yield_per() method is used.
- exists()¶
A convenience method that turns a query into an EXISTS subquery of the form EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM ... WHERE ...).
q = session.query(User).filter(User.name == 'fred') session.query(q.exists())
Producing SQL similar to:
SELECT EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM users WHERE users.name = :name_1 ) AS anon_1
New in version 0.8.1.
- filter(*criterion)¶
apply the given filtering criterion to a copy of this Query, using SQL expressions.
session.query(MyClass).filter(MyClass.name == 'some name')
Multiple criteria are joined together by AND:
session.query(MyClass).\ filter(MyClass.name == 'some name', MyClass.id > 5)
The criterion is any SQL expression object applicable to the WHERE clause of a select. String expressions are coerced into SQL expression constructs via the text() construct.
Changed in version 0.7.5: Multiple criteria joined by AND.
See also
Query.filter_by() - filter on keyword expressions.
- filter_by(**kwargs)¶
apply the given filtering criterion to a copy of this Query, using keyword expressions.
session.query(MyClass).filter_by(name = 'some name')
Multiple criteria are joined together by AND:
session.query(MyClass).\ filter_by(name = 'some name', id = 5)
The keyword expressions are extracted from the primary entity of the query, or the last entity that was the target of a call to Query.join().
See also
Query.filter() - filter on SQL expressions.
- first()¶
Return the first result of this Query or None if the result doesn't contain any row.
first() applies a limit of one within the generated SQL, so that only one primary entity row is generated on the server side (note this may consist of multiple result rows if join-loaded collections are present).
Calling first() results in an execution of the underlying query.
- from_self(*entities)¶
return a Query that selects from this Query's SELECT statement.
*entities - optional list of entities which will replace those being selected.
- from_statement(statement)¶
Execute the given SELECT statement and return results.
This method bypasses all internal statement compilation, and the statement is executed without modification.
The statement argument is either a string, a select() construct, or a text() construct, and should return the set of columns appropriate to the entity class represented by this Query.
- get(ident)¶
Return an instance based on the given primary key identifier, or None if not found.
my_user = session.query(User).get(5) some_object = session.query(VersionedFoo).get((5, 10))
get() is special in that it provides direct access to the identity map of the owning Session. If the given primary key identifier is present in the local identity map, the object is returned directly from this collection and no SQL is emitted, unless the object has been marked fully expired. If not present, a SELECT is performed in order to locate the object.
get() also will perform a check if the object is present in the identity map and marked as expired - a SELECT is emitted to refresh the object as well as to ensure that the row is still present. If not, ObjectDeletedError is raised.
get() is only used to return a single mapped instance, not multiple instances or individual column constructs, and strictly on a single primary key value. The originating Query must be constructed in this way, i.e. against a single mapped entity, with no additional filtering criterion. Loading options via options() may be applied however, and will be used if the object is not yet locally present.
A lazy-loading, many-to-one attribute configured by relationship(), using a simple foreign-key-to-primary-key criterion, will also use an operation equivalent to get() in order to retrieve the target value from the local identity map before querying the database. See Relationship Loading Techniques for further details on relationship loading.
Parameters: ident¶ – A scalar or tuple value representing the primary key. For a composite primary key, the order of identifiers corresponds in most cases to that of the mapped Table object's primary key columns. For a mapper() that was given the primary key argument during construction, the order of identifiers corresponds to the elements present in this collection. Returns: The object instance, or None.
- group_by(*criterion)¶
apply one or more GROUP BY criterion to the query and return the newly resulting Query
- having(criterion)¶
apply a HAVING criterion to the query and return the newly resulting Query.
having() is used in conjunction with group_by().
HAVING criterion makes it possible to use filters on aggregate functions like COUNT, SUM, AVG, MAX, and MIN, eg.:
q = session.query(User.id).\ join(User.addresses).\ group_by(User.id).\ having(func.count(Address.id) > 2)
- instances(cursor, _Query__context=None)¶
Given a ResultProxy cursor as returned by connection.execute(), return an ORM result as an iterator.
result = engine.execute("select * from users") for u in session.query(User).instances(result): print u
- intersect(*q)¶
Produce an INTERSECT of this Query against one or more queries.
Works the same way as union(). See that method for usage examples.
- intersect_all(*q)¶
Produce an INTERSECT ALL of this Query against one or more queries.
Works the same way as union(). See that method for usage examples.
- join(*props, **kwargs)¶
Create a SQL JOIN against this Query object's criterion and apply generatively, returning the newly resulting Query.
Simple Relationship Joins
Consider a mapping between two classes User and Address, with a relationship User.addresses representing a collection of Address objects associated with each User. The most common usage of join() is to create a JOIN along this relationship, using the User.addresses attribute as an indicator for how this should occur:
q = session.query(User).join(User.addresses)
Where above, the call to join() along User.addresses will result in SQL equivalent to:
SELECT user.* FROM user JOIN address ON user.id = address.user_id
In the above example we refer to User.addresses as passed to join() as the on clause, that is, it indicates how the "ON" portion of the JOIN should be constructed. For a single-entity query such as the one above (i.e. we start by selecting only from User and nothing else), the relationship can also be specified by its string name:
q = session.query(User).join("addresses")
join() can also accommodate multiple "on clause" arguments to produce a chain of joins, such as below where a join across four related entities is constructed:
q = session.query(User).join("orders", "items", "keywords")
The above would be shorthand for three separate calls to join(), each using an explicit attribute to indicate the source entity:
q = session.query(User).\ join(User.orders).\ join(Order.items).\ join(Item.keywords)
Joins to a Target Entity or Selectable
A second form of join() allows any mapped entity or core selectable construct as a target. In this usage, join() will attempt to create a JOIN along the natural foreign key relationship between two entities:
q = session.query(User).join(Address)
The above calling form of join() will raise an error if either there are no foreign keys between the two entities, or if there are multiple foreign key linkages between them. In the above calling form, join() is called upon to create the "on clause" automatically for us. The target can be any mapped entity or selectable, such as a Table:
q = session.query(User).join(addresses_table)
Joins to a Target with an ON Clause
The third calling form allows both the target entity as well as the ON clause to be passed explicitly. Suppose for example we wanted to join to Address twice, using an alias the second time. We use aliased() to create a distinct alias of Address, and join to it using the target, onclause form, so that the alias can be specified explicitly as the target along with the relationship to instruct how the ON clause should proceed:
a_alias = aliased(Address) q = session.query(User).\ join(User.addresses).\ join(a_alias, User.addresses).\ filter(firstname.lastname@example.com').\ filter(firstname.lastname@example.com')
Where above, the generated SQL would be similar to:
SELECT user.* FROM user JOIN address ON user.id = address.user_id JOIN address AS address_1 ON user.id=address_1.user_id WHERE address.email_address = :email_address_1 AND address_1.email_address = :email_address_2
The two-argument calling form of join() also allows us to construct arbitrary joins with SQL-oriented "on clause" expressions, not relying upon configured relationships at all. Any SQL expression can be passed as the ON clause when using the two-argument form, which should refer to the target entity in some way as well as an applicable source entity:
q = session.query(User).join(Address, User.id==Address.user_id)
Changed in version 0.7: In SQLAlchemy 0.6 and earlier, the two argument form of join() requires the usage of a tuple: query(User).join((Address, User.id==Address.user_id)). This calling form is accepted in 0.7 and further, though is not necessary unless multiple join conditions are passed to a single join() call, which itself is also not generally necessary as it is now equivalent to multiple calls (this wasn't always the case).
Advanced Join Targeting and Adaption
There is a lot of flexibility in what the "target" can be when using join(). As noted previously, it also accepts Table constructs and other selectables such as alias() and select() constructs, with either the one or two-argument forms:
addresses_q = select([Address.user_id]).\ where(Address.email_address.endswith("@bar.com")).\ alias() q = session.query(User).\ join(addresses_q, addresses_q.c.user_id==User.id)
join() also features the ability to adapt a relationship() -driven ON clause to the target selectable. Below we construct a JOIN from User to a subquery against Address, allowing the relationship denoted by User.addresses to adapt itself to the altered target:
address_subq = session.query(Address).\ filter(Address.email_address == 'firstname.lastname@example.com').\ subquery() q = session.query(User).join(address_subq, User.addresses)
Producing SQL similar to:
SELECT user.* FROM user JOIN ( SELECT address.id AS id, address.user_id AS user_id, address.email_address AS email_address FROM address WHERE address.email_address = :email_address_1 ) AS anon_1 ON user.id = anon_1.user_id
The above form allows one to fall back onto an explicit ON clause at any time:
q = session.query(User).\ join(address_subq, User.id==address_subq.c.user_id)
Controlling what to Join From
While join() exclusively deals with the "right" side of the JOIN, we can also control the "left" side, in those cases where it's needed, using select_from(). Below we construct a query against Address but can still make usage of User.addresses as our ON clause by instructing the Query to select first from the User entity:
q = session.query(Address).select_from(User).\ join(User.addresses).\ filter(User.name == 'ed')
Which will produce SQL similar to:
SELECT address.* FROM user JOIN address ON user.id=address.user_id WHERE user.name = :name_1
Constructing Aliases Anonymously
join() can construct anonymous aliases using the aliased=True flag. This feature is useful when a query is being joined algorithmically, such as when querying self-referentially to an arbitrary depth:
q = session.query(Node).\ join("children", "children", aliased=True)
When aliased=True is used, the actual "alias" construct is not explicitly available. To work with it, methods such as Query.filter() will adapt the incoming entity to the last join point:
q = session.query(Node).\ join("children", "children", aliased=True).\ filter(Node.name == 'grandchild 1')
When using automatic aliasing, the from_joinpoint=True argument can allow a multi-node join to be broken into multiple calls to join(), so that each path along the way can be further filtered:
q = session.query(Node).\ join("children", aliased=True).\ filter(Node.name='child 1').\ join("children", aliased=True, from_joinpoint=True).\ filter(Node.name == 'grandchild 1')
The filtering aliases above can then be reset back to the original Node entity using reset_joinpoint():
q = session.query(Node).\ join("children", "children", aliased=True).\ filter(Node.name == 'grandchild 1').\ reset_joinpoint().\ filter(Node.name == 'parent 1)
For an example of aliased=True, see the distribution example XML Persistence which illustrates an XPath-like query system using algorithmic joins.
- *props¶ – A collection of one or more join conditions, each consisting of a relationship-bound attribute or string relationship name representing an "on clause", or a single target entity, or a tuple in the form of (target, onclause). A special two-argument calling form of the form target, onclause is also accepted.
- aliased=False¶ – If True, indicate that the JOIN target should be anonymously aliased. Subsequent calls to filter and similar will adapt the incoming criterion to the target alias, until reset_joinpoint() is called.
- from_joinpoint=False¶ – When using aliased=True, a setting of True here will cause the join to be from the most recent joined target, rather than starting back from the original FROM clauses of the query.

Mapping Class Inheritance Hierarchies for details on how join() is used for inheritance relationships.
orm.join() - a standalone ORM-level join function, used internally by Query.join(), which in previous SQLAlchemy versions was the primary ORM-level joining interface.
- label(name)¶
Return the full SELECT statement represented by this Query, converted to a scalar subquery with a label of the given name.
Analogous to sqlalchemy.sql.expression.SelectBase.label().
New in version 0.6.5.
- limit(limit)¶
Apply a LIMIT to the query and return the newly resulting
- merge_result(iterator, load=True)¶
Merge a result into this Query object's Session.
Given an iterator returned by a Query of the same structure as this one, return an identical iterator of results, with all mapped instances merged into the session using Session.merge(). This is an optimized method which will merge all mapped instances, preserving the structure of the result rows and unmapped columns with less method overhead than that of calling Session.merge() explicitly for each value.
The structure of the results is determined based on the column list of this Query - if these do not correspond, unchecked errors will occur.
The 'load' argument is the same as that of Session.merge().
For an example of how merge_result() is used, see the source code for the example Dogpile Caching, where merge_result() is used to efficiently restore state from a cache back into a target Session.
- offset(offset)¶
Apply an OFFSET to the query and return the newly resulting Query.
- one()¶
Return exactly one result or raise an exception.
Raises sqlalchemy.orm.exc.NoResultFound if the query selects no rows. Raises sqlalchemy.orm.exc.MultipleResultsFound if multiple object identities are returned, or if multiple rows are returned for a query that does not return object identities.
Note that an entity query, that is, one which selects one or more mapped classes as opposed to individual column attributes, may ultimately represent many rows but only one row of unique entity or entities - this is a successful result for one().
Calling one() results in an execution of the underlying query.
Changed in version 0.6: one() fully fetches all results instead of applying any kind of limit, so that the "unique"-ing of entities does not conceal multiple object identities.
- options(*args)¶
Return a new Query object, applying the given list of mapper options.
Most supplied options regard changing how column- and relationship-mapped attributes are loaded. See the sections Deferred Column Loading and Relationship Loading Techniques for reference documentation.
- order_by(*criterion)¶
apply one or more ORDER BY criterion to the query and return the newly resulting Query
All existing ORDER BY settings can be suppressed by passing None - this will suppress any ORDER BY configured on mappers as well.
Alternatively, an existing ORDER BY setting on the Query object can be entirely cancelled by passing False as the value - use this before calling methods where an ORDER BY is invalid.
- outerjoin(*props, **kwargs)¶
Create a left outer join against this Query object's criterion and apply generatively, returning the newly resulting Query.
Usage is the same as the join() method.
- params(*args, **kwargs)¶
add values for bind parameters which may have been specified in filter().
parameters may be specified using **kwargs, or optionally a single dictionary as the first positional argument. The reason for both is that **kwargs is convenient, however some parameter dictionaries contain unicode keys in which case **kwargs cannot be used.
- populate_existing()¶
Return a Query that will expire and refresh all instances as they are loaded, or reused from the current Session.
populate_existing() does not improve behavior when the ORM is used normally - the Session object's usual behavior of maintaining a transaction and expiring all attributes after rollback or commit handles object state automatically. This method is not intended for general use.
- prefix_with(*prefixes)¶
Apply the prefixes to the query and return the newly resulting Query.
Parameters: *prefixes¶ – optional prefixes, typically strings, not using any commas. In particular is useful for MySQL keywords.
query = sess.query(User.name).\ prefix_with('HIGH_PRIORITY').\ prefix_with('SQL_SMALL_RESULT', 'ALL')
Would render:
SELECT HIGH_PRIORITY SQL_SMALL_RESULT ALL users.name AS users_name FROM users
New in version 0.7.7.
- reset_joinpoint()¶
Return a new Query, where the "join point" has been reset back to the base FROM entities of the query.
This method is usually used in conjunction with the aliased=True feature of the join() method. See the example in join() for how this is used.
- scalar()¶
Return the first element of the first result or None if no rows present. If multiple rows are returned, raises MultipleResultsFound.
>>> session.query(Item).scalar() <Item> >>> session.query(Item.id).scalar() 1 >>> session.query(Item.id).filter(Item.id < 0).scalar() None >>> session.query(Item.id, Item.name).scalar() 1 >>> session.query(func.count(Parent.id)).scalar() 20
This results in an execution of the underlying query.
- select_entity_from(from_obj)¶
Set the FROM clause of this Query to a core selectable, applying it as a replacement FROM clause for corresponding mapped entities.
This method is currently equivalent to the Query.select_from() method, but in 0.9 these two methods will diverge in functionality.
In addition to changing the FROM list, the method will also apply the given selectable to replace the FROM which the selected entities would normally select from.
The given from_obj must be an instance of a FromClause, e.g. a select() or Alias construct.
An example would be a Query that selects User entities, but uses Query.select_entity_from() to have the entities selected from a select() construct instead of the base user table:
select_stmt = select([User]).where(User.id == 7) q = session.query(User).\ select_entity_from(select_stmt).\ filter(User.name == 'ed')
The query generated will select User entities directly from the given select() construct, and will be:
SELECT anon_1.id AS anon_1_id, anon_1.name AS anon_1_name FROM (SELECT "user".id AS id, "user".name AS name FROM "user" WHERE "user".id = :id_1) AS anon_1 WHERE anon_1.name = :name_1
Notice above that even the WHERE criterion was "adapted" such that the anon_1 subquery effectively replaces all references to the user table, except for the one that it refers to internally.
Compare this to Query.select_from(), which as of version 0.9, does not affect existing entities. The statement below:
q = session.query(User).\ select_from(select_stmt).\ filter(User.name == 'ed')
Produces SQL where both the user table as well as the select_stmt construct are present as separate elements in the FROM clause. No "adaptation" of the user table is applied:
SELECT "user".id AS user_id, "user".name AS user_name FROM "user", (SELECT "user".id AS id, "user".name AS name FROM "user" WHERE "user".id = :id_1) AS anon_1 WHERE "user".name = :name_1
Query.select_entity_from() maintains an older behavior of Query.select_from(). In modern usage, similar results can also be achieved using aliased():
select_stmt = select([User]).where(User.id == 7) user_from_select = aliased(User, select_stmt.alias()) q = session.query(user_from_select)
Parameters: from_obj¶ – a FromClause object that will replace the FROM clause of this Query.
See also
New in version 0.8.2: Query.select_entity_from() was added to specify the specific behavior of entity replacement, however the Query.select_from() maintains this behavior as well until 0.9.
- select_from(*from_obj)¶
Set the FROM clause of this Query explicitly.
Query.select_from() is often used in conjunction with Query.join() in order to control which entity is selected from on the "left" side of the join.
The entity or selectable object here effectively replaces the "left edge" of any calls to join(), when no joinpoint is otherwise established - usually, the default "join point" is the leftmost entity in the Query object's list of entities to be selected.
A typical example:
q = session.query(Address).select_from(User).\ join(User.addresses).\ filter(User.name == 'ed')
Which produces SQL equivalent to:
SELECT address.* FROM user JOIN address ON user.id=address.user_id WHERE user.name = :name_1
Parameters: *from_obj¶ – collection of one or more entities to apply to the FROM clause. Entities can be mapped classes, AliasedClass objects, Mapper objects as well as core FromClause elements like subqueries.
Query.select_from() features a deprecated behavior whereby when passed a FromClause element, such as a select construct, it will apply that select construct to replace the FROM clause that an existing entity is joined from. This behavior is being removed in SQLAlchemy 0.9, to be replaced with the Query.select_entity_from() method. Applications which rely on this behavior to re-base query entities to an arbitrary selectable should transition to this method before upgrading to 0.9.

- selectable¶
Return the Select object emitted by this Query.
Used for inspect() compatibility, this is equivalent to:
- slice(start, stop)¶
apply LIMIT/OFFSET to the Query based on a " "range and return the newly resulting Query.
- statement¶
The full SELECT statement represented by this Query.
The statement by default will not have disambiguating labels applied to the construct unless with_labels(True) is called first.
- subquery(name=None, with_labels=False, reduce_columns=False)¶
return the full SELECT statement represented by this Query, embedded within an Alias.
Eager JOIN generation within the query is disabled.
- name¶ – string name to be assigned as the alias; this is passed through to FromClause.alias(). If None, a name will be deterministically generated at compile time.
- with_labels¶ – if True, with_labels() will be called on the Query first to apply table-qualified labels to all columns.
- reduce_columns¶ –
if True, Select.reduce_columns() will be called on the resulting select() construct, to remove same-named columns where one also refers to the other via foreign key or WHERE clause equivalence.
Changed in version 0.8: the with_labels and reduce_columns keyword arguments were added.
- union(*q)¶
Produce a UNION of this Query against one or more queries.
q1 = sess.query(SomeClass).filter(SomeClass.foo=='bar') q2 = sess.query(SomeClass).filter(SomeClass.bar=='foo') q3 = q1.union(q2)
The method accepts multiple Query objects so as to control the level of nesting. A series of union() calls such as:
will nest on each union(), and produces:
SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM X UNION SELECT * FROM y) UNION SELECT * FROM Z)
x.union(y, z).all()
SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM X UNION SELECT * FROM y UNION SELECT * FROM Z)
Note that many database backends do not allow ORDER BY to be rendered on a query called within UNION, EXCEPT, etc. To disable all ORDER BY clauses including those configured on mappers, issue query.order_by(None) - the resulting Query object will not render ORDER BY within its SELECT statement.
- union_all(*q)¶
Produce a UNION ALL of this Query against one or more queries.
Works the same way as union(). See that method for usage examples.
- update(values, synchronize_session='evaluate')¶
Perform a bulk update query.
Updates rows matched by this query in the database.
- values¶ – a dictionary with attributes names as keys and literal values or sql expressions as values.
- synchronize_session¶ –
chooses the strategy to update the attributes on objects in the session. Valid values are:
False - don't synchronize the session. This option is the most efficient and is reliable once the session is expired, which typically occurs after a commit(), or explicitly using expire_all(). Before the expiration, updated objects may still remain in the session with stale values on their attributes, which can lead to confusing results.
'fetch' - performs a select query before the update to find objects that are matched by the update query. The updated attributes are expired on matched objects.
'evaluate' - Evaluate the Query's criteria in Python straight on the objects in the session. If evaluation of the criteria isn't implemented, an exception is raised.
The expression evaluator currently doesn't account for differing string collations between the database and Python.
the count of rows matched as returned by the database's "row count" feature.
This method has several key caveats:
The method does not offer in-Python cascading of relationships - it is assumed that ON UPDATE CASCADE is configured for any foreign key references which require it, otherwise the database may emit an integrity violation if foreign key references are being enforced.
After the UPDATE, dependent objects in the Session which were impacted by an ON UPDATE CASCADE may not contain the current state; this issue is resolved once the Session is expired, which normally occurs upon Session.commit() or can be forced by using Session.expire_all().
As of 0.8, this method will support multiple table updates, as detailed in Multiple Table Updates, and this behavior does extend to support updates of joined-inheritance and other multiple table mappings. However, the join condition of an inheritance mapper is currently not automatically rendered. Care must be taken in any multiple-table update to explicitly include the joining condition between those tables, even in mappings where this is normally automatic. E.g. if a class Engineer subclasses Employee, an UPDATE of the Engineer local table using criteria against the Employee local table might look like:
session.query(Engineer).\ filter(Engineer.id == Employee.id).\ filter(Employee.name == 'dilbert').\ update({"engineer_type": "programmer"})
The MapperEvents.before_update() and MapperEvents.after_update() events are not invoked from this method. Instead, the SessionEvents.after_bulk_update() method is provided to act upon a mass UPDATE of entity rows.

Inserts, Updates and Deletes - Core SQL tutorial
- value(column)¶
Return a scalar result corresponding to the given column expression.
- values(*columns)¶
Return an iterator yielding result tuples corresponding to the given list of columns
- whereclause¶
A readonly attribute which returns the current WHERE criterion for this Query.
This returned value is a SQL expression construct, or None if no criterion has been established.
- with_entities(*entities)¶
Return a new Query replacing the SELECT list with the given entities.
# Users, filtered on some arbitrary criterion # and then ordered by related email address q = session.query(User).\ join(User.address).\ filter(User.name.like('%ed%')).\ order_by(Address.email) # given *only* User.id==5, Address.email, and 'q', what # would the *next* User in the result be ? subq = q.with_entities(Address.email).\ order_by(None).\ filter(User.id==5).\ subquery() q = q.join((subq, subq.c.email < Address.email)).\ limit(1)
New in version 0.6.5.
- with_hint(selectable, text, dialect_name='*')¶
Add an indexing hint for the given entity or selectable to this Query.
Functionality is passed straight through to with_hint(), with the addition that selectable can be a Table, Alias, or ORM entity / mapped class /etc.
- with_labels()¶
Apply column labels to the return value of Query.statement.
Indicates that this Query's statement accessor should return a SELECT statement that applies labels to all columns in the form <tablename>_<columnname>; this is commonly used to disambiguate columns from multiple tables which have the same name.
When the Query actually issues SQL to load rows, it always uses column labeling.
- with_lockmode(mode)¶
Return a new Query object with the specified locking mode.
Parameters: mode¶ –
a string representing the desired locking mode. A corresponding value is passed to the for_update parameter of select() when the query is executed. Valid values are:
'update' - passes for_update=True, which translates to FOR UPDATE (standard SQL, supported by most dialects)
'update_nowait' - passes for_update='nowait', which translates to FOR UPDATE NOWAIT (supported by Oracle, PostgreSQL 8.1 upwards)
'read' - passes for_update='read', which translates to LOCK IN SHARE MODE (for MySQL), and FOR SHARE (for PostgreSQL)
'read_nowait' - passes for_update='read_nowait', which translates to FOR SHARE NOWAIT (supported by PostgreSQL).
New in version 0.7.7: FOR SHARE and FOR SHARE NOWAIT (PostgreSQL).
- with_parent(instance, property=None)¶
Add filtering criterion that relates the given instance to a child object or collection, using its attribute state as well as an established relationship() configuration.
The method uses the with_parent() function to generate the clause, the result of which is passed to Query.filter().
Parameters are the same as with_parent(), with the exception that the given property can be None, in which case a search is performed against this Query object's target mapper.
- with_polymorphic(cls_or_mappers, selectable=None, polymorphic_on=None)¶
Load columns for inheriting classes.
Query.with_polymorphic() applies transformations to the "main" mapped class represented by this Query. The "main" mapped class here means the Query object's first argument is a full class, i.e. session.query(SomeClass). These transformations allow additional tables to be present in the FROM clause so that columns for a joined-inheritance subclass are available in the query, both for the purposes of load-time efficiency as well as the ability to use these columns at query time.
See the documentation section Basic Control of Which Tables are Queried for details on how this method is used.
Changed in version 0.8: A new and more flexible function orm.with_polymorphic() supersedes Query.with_polymorphic(), as it can apply the equivalent functionality to any set of columns or classes in the Query, not just the "zero mapper". See that function for a description of arguments.
- with_transformation(fn)¶
Return a new Query object transformed by the given function.
def filter_something(criterion): def transform(q): return q.filter(criterion) return transform q = q.with_transformation(filter_something(x==5))
This allows ad-hoc recipes to be created for Query objects. See the example at Building Transformers.
New in version 0.7.4.
- yield_per(count)¶
Yield only count rows at a time.
WARNING: use this method with caution; if the same instance is present in more than one batch of rows, end-user changes to attributes will be overwritten.
In particular, it's usually impossible to use this setting with eagerly loaded collections (i.e. any lazy='joined' or 'subquery') since those collections will be cleared for a new load when encountered in a subsequent result batch. In the case of 'subquery' loading, the full result for all rows is fetched which generally defeats the purpose of yield_per().
Also note that while yield_per() will set the stream_results execution option to True, currently this is only understood by psycopg2 dialect which will stream results using server side cursors instead of pre-buffer all rows for this query. Other DBAPIs pre-buffer all rows before making them available.
ORM-Specific Query Constructs¶
- sqlalchemy.orm.aliased(element, alias=None, name=None, adapt_on_names=False)¶
Produce an alias of the given element, usually an AliasedClass instance.
my_alias = aliased(MyClass) session.query(MyClass, my_alias).filter(MyClass.id > my_alias.id)
The aliased() function is used to create an ad-hoc mapping of a mapped class to a new selectable. By default, a selectable is generated from the normally mapped selectable (typically a Table) using the FromClause.alias() method. However, aliased() can also be used to link the class to a new select() statement. Also, the with_polymorphic() function is a variant of aliased() that is intended to specify a so-called "polymorphic selectable", that corresponds to the union of several joined-inheritance subclasses at once.
For convenience, the aliased() function also accepts plain FromClause constructs, such as a Table or select() construct. In those cases, the FromClause.alias() method is called on the object and the new Alias object returned. The returned Alias is not ORM-mapped in this case.
- element¶ – element to be aliased. Is normally a mapped class, but for convenience can also be a FromClause element.
- alias¶ – Optional selectable unit to map the element to. This should normally be a Alias object corresponding to the Table to which the class is mapped, or to a select() construct that is compatible with the mapping. By default, a simple anonymous alias of the mapped table is generated.
- name¶ – optional string name to use for the alias, if not specified by the alias parameter. The name, among other things, forms the attribute name that will be accessible via tuples returned by a Query object.
- adapt_on_names¶ –
if True, more liberal "matching" will be used when mapping the mapped columns of the ORM entity to those of the given selectable - a name-based match will be performed if the given selectable doesn't otherwise have a column that corresponds to one on the entity. The use case for this is when associating an entity with some derived selectable such as one that uses aggregate functions:
class UnitPrice(Base): __tablename__ = 'unit_price' ... unit_id = Column(Integer) price = Column(Numeric) aggregated_unit_price = Session.query( func.sum(UnitPrice.price).label('price') ).group_by(UnitPrice.unit_id).subquery() aggregated_unit_price = aliased(UnitPrice, alias=aggregated_unit_price, adapt_on_names=True)
Above, functions on aggregated_unit_price which refer to .price will return the fund.sum(UnitPrice.price).label('price') column, as it is matched on the name "price". Ordinarily, the "price" function wouldn't have any "column correspondence" to the actual UnitPrice.price column as it is not a proxy of the original.
New in version 0.7.3.
- class sqlalchemy.orm.util.AliasedClass(cls, alias=None, name=None, adapt_on_names=False, with_polymorphic_mappers=(), with_polymorphic_discriminator=None, base_alias=None, use_mapper_path=False)¶
Represents an "aliased" form of a mapped class for usage with Query.
The ORM equivalent of a sqlalchemy.sql.expression.alias() construct, this object mimics the mapped class using a __getattr__ scheme and maintains a reference to a real Alias object.
Usage is via the orm.aliased() function, or alternatively via the orm.with_polymorphic() function.
Usage example:
# find all pairs of users with the same name user_alias = aliased(User) session.query(User, user_alias).\ join((user_alias, User.id > user_alias.id)).\ filter(User.name==user_alias.name)
The resulting object is an instance of AliasedClass. This object implements an attribute scheme which produces the same attribute and method interface as the original mapped class, allowing AliasedClass to be compatible with any attribute technique which works on the original class, including hybrid attributes (see Hybrid Attributes).
The AliasedClass can be inspected for its underlying Mapper, aliased selectable, and other information using inspect():
from sqlalchemy import inspect my_alias = aliased(MyClass) insp = inspect(my_alias)
The resulting inspection object is an instance of AliasedInsp.
See aliased() and with_polymorphic() for construction argument descriptions.
- class sqlalchemy.orm.util.AliasedInsp(entity, mapper, selectable, name, with_polymorphic_mappers, polymorphic_on, _base_alias, _use_mapper_path)¶
Bases: sqlalchemy.orm.interfaces._InspectionAttr
Provide an inspection interface for an AliasedClass object.
The AliasedInsp object is returned given an AliasedClass using the inspect() function:
from sqlalchemy import inspect from sqlalchemy.orm import aliased my_alias = aliased(MyMappedClass) insp = inspect(my_alias)
Attributes on AliasedInsp include:
- entity - the AliasedClass represented.
- mapper - the Mapper mapping the underlying class.
- selectable - the Alias construct which ultimately represents an aliased Table or Select construct.
- name - the name of the alias. Also is used as the attribute name when returned in a result tuple from Query.
- with_polymorphic_mappers - collection of Mapper objects indicating all those mappers expressed in the select construct for the AliasedClass.
- polymorphic_on - an alternate column or SQL expression which will be used as the "discriminator" for a polymorphic load.

- class sqlalchemy.util.KeyedTuple¶
Bases: __builtin__.tuple
tuple subclass that adds labeled names.
>>> k = KeyedTuple([1, 2, 3], labels=["one", "two", "three"]) >>> k.one 1 >>> k.two 2
Result rows returned by Query that contain multiple ORM entities and/or column expressions make use of this class to return rows.
The KeyedTuple exhibits similar behavior to the collections.namedtuple() construct provided in the Python standard library, however is architected very differently. Unlike collections.namedtuple(), KeyedTuple is does not rely on creation of custom subtypes in order to represent a new series of keys, instead each KeyedTuple instance receives its list of keys in place. The subtype approach of collections.namedtuple() introduces significant complexity and performance overhead, which is not necessary for the Query object's use case.
Changed in version 0.8: Compatibility methods with collections.namedtuple() have been added including KeyedTuple._fields and KeyedTuple._asdict().
See also
- _asdict()¶
Return the contents of this KeyedTuple as a dictionary.
This method provides compatibility with collections.namedtuple(), with the exception that the dictionary returned is not ordered.
New in version 0.8.
- _fields¶
Return a tuple of string key names for this KeyedTuple.
This method provides compatibility with collections.namedtuple().
New in version 0.8.
See also
- keys()¶
Return a list of string key names for this KeyedTuple.
See also
- sqlalchemy.orm.join(left, right, onclause=None, isouter=False, join_to_left=None)¶
Produce an inner join between left and right clauses.
orm.join() is an extension to the core join interface provided by sql.expression.join(), where the left and right selectables may be not only core selectable objects such as Table, but also mapped classes or AliasedClass instances. The "on" clause can be a SQL expression, or an attribute or string name referencing a configured relationship().
orm.join() is not commonly needed in modern usage, as its functionality is encapsulated within that of the Query.join() method, which features a significant amount of automation beyond orm.join() by itself. Explicit usage of orm.join() with Query involves usage of the Query.select_from() method, as in:
from sqlalchemy.orm import join session.query(User).\ select_from(join(User, Address, User.addresses)).\ filter(firstname.lastname@example.com')
In modern SQLAlchemy the above join can be written more succinctly as:
session.query(User).\ join(User.addresses).\ filter(email@example.com')
See Query.join() for information on modern usage of ORM level joins.
Changed in version 0.8.1: - the join_to_left parameter is no longer used, and is deprecated.
- sqlalchemy.orm.outerjoin(left, right, onclause=None, join_to_left=None)¶
Produce a left outer join between left and right clauses.
This is the "outer join" version of the orm.join() function, featuring the same behavior except that an OUTER JOIN is generated. See that function's documentation for other usage details.
- sqlalchemy.orm.with_parent(instance, prop)¶
Create filtering criterion that relates this query's primary entity to the given related instance, using established relationship() configuration.
The SQL rendered is the same as that rendered when a lazy loader would fire off from the given parent on that attribute, meaning that the appropriate state is taken from the parent object in Python without the need to render joins to the parent table in the rendered statement.
Changed in version 0.6.4: This method accepts parent instances in all persistence states, including transient, persistent, and detached. Only the requisite primary key/foreign key attributes need to be populated. Previous versions didn't work with transient instances.
- instance¶ – An instance which has some relationship().
- property¶ – String property name, or class-bound attribute, which indicates what relationship from the instance should be used to reconcile the parent/child relationship.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.- University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football head coach met the media on Tuesday afternoon and discussed the Mocs' upcoming game against Furman. Russ Huesman
Kickoff for Saturday's matchup in Greenville, S.C., is set for 1:30 p.m. Live audio is available on ESPN 105.1 FM and online through MocsVision. The game will also broadcast live on ESPN3.
Head Coach Russ HuesmanThoughts on taking on Furman after the bye week"The bye week came at a good time. We are getting Dean Haynes and Devin Caldwell back, and they needed last week's practice to get themselves acclimated to football again. Across the board, everybody else is pretty healthy."
"Furman has a really good football team. They lost a tough game to Samford in their opener, which shows that Samford is a pretty good football team this year. They lost to Coastal Carolina in double-overtime and they lost to Wofford, who I think has one of the better teams in the league. Their losses are to really good teams. They are in the Top 25 in the country in total offense. They handle quarterbacks really well, they have a true freshman this year and he's doing a pretty good job. We're going to have to play well to win this game, especially with it being at Furman. So hopefully we have a good week of practice."
Thoughts on Dean Haynes making a start"We have penciled him in on almost all the plays on the special teams. I'm not sure how much he will play in the secondary. We'll just have to see how the game goes. He's still knocking the rust off but he looks good so far. He is healthy but he hasn't played in a while. He only went through two days of camp. He not only has to knock off the rust physically but mentally. Zack McCordle will start at free safety this week and we'll just see how that goes. I have a lot of confidence in Zach. He has been in the program for a while and I have no doubt he'll do well."
Thoughts on the offense creating trouble for the defense"When you're playing both Terrell Robinson and Jacob Huesman, they're both good players, and we need to get the ball in their hands or the illusion of the ball in their hands to make this offense work. We will continue to strive to do that and continue to use both of them."
Thoughts on using the two quarterback system"It was pretty easy. We came out of spring not knowing what we were going to do. The types of summer and camps they had made it a pretty easy decision leading into the season. The hard part is to just find ways to get the ball in their hands in space. That's part of the offensive coach's job, though."
Hunter Dockery, junior, offensive linemanOn how important it is to finish blocks"Coach keeps saying we have to finish blocks. For us it's probably mental. We just have to keep going. We had a good week last week. Eventually we'll get to the point where we'll be finishing blocks the whole time."
On the mentality coming off of the bye week"I like the bye week. It gives us time to rest and we got back to our fundamentals. Hopefully that will help us prepare for Furman because their defense is really disciplined."
Gunner Miller, junior, linebackerOn Furman's running game"We played Jacksonville State and they run the ball very similar to Furman. They're a power run team and they'll run right at us. We just have to play physical and fast to stop them."
On if facing a power running team is more fun as a linebacker"As a linebacker, if they are in the spread and throwing it around everywhere you might not get as much action. When a team is in the pro style offense, you're going to be in the game and be a big part of it. It's on your shoulders you have to be ready to play and play physical. If you don't, it could to be a long day."

|The most helpful critical review
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful:
By Ed from USA on 2011-03-01 09:29:08Things I liked:Light weight, superb accurracy, trigger is easiy adjustable and though there is no stop adjustment, it feels like there is one when you pull through the trigger which helps accurracy tremendously. The adjustments are many and refined there should be no problem adjusting this rifle to individual needs and the marking system on the rails allows you to return this gun precisely to any previous configuration. The loading system is simple and robust and can be configured to right or left hand operation and a dry fire mechanism is provided. The sights are top rate and come with 3 floating aperture inserts for the front sight. Filling is easily done via a Foster fitting at the rear and can be readily filled from a hand pump with little exertion. Due to its easily repeatable adjustments, I would think this would be a super club gun. I have found a fill of 2300 lbs gives me 80 consistent shots with a fps spread that is well within acceptable for 10 meter shooting.
Things I would have changed:I would like to have a more substantial feeling cheek rest. Its nit picking but the rest of the rifle has such a substantial feel for a light weight gun that it does stand out. Grips are hard plastic of some sort and while they serve the purpose well enough I wonder what a softer material non skid would feel like.
What others should know:At about 600 rounds the barrel is not seasoned yet and with some experimentation, the rifle likes H&N finale pistol the best. Heavier pellets do not do well in this gun. It has a curiosity factor. Everyone on the range that day wanted to shoot it with a unanimous positive feedback. Accuracy has been improving the more it is shot. It comes extemely well packaged by the manufacturer and PA service as always top shelf. I am not disappointed with this gun and recommend it for a value packed introduction to 10 meter shooting.

By Kirk from USA on 2011-12-17 07:47:50Things I liked:This is a very accurate rifle for the money. I have not been able to get 1 hole groups but am pretty close. I'm not shooting competition just in my basement. The rifle is very easy to adjust and you get a very nice fit. The dry fire feature is very nice.
Things I would have changed:There are too many different size allen screws. You need at least four to make final adjustments
What others should know:The owners manual provides almost no information for operating the rifle. This was my first airforce product so trying to find the right adapters to fill it was no fun. Thanks to the good people at pyramyd for helping out they should have the adapters listed with the rifle. Still could not get it to shoot and was unsure of the cause since the tank does not have a manometer I did not know it was shipped filled.Again the owners manual made no reference to adjusting the front nozzle of the tank to get it to fire. I found this out completely by accident. When the tank runs out it is a surprise because of no manometer. I understand there is not one to save on cost I just did not realize it would bother me. I am now used to taking about 20 shots then refilling but in the beginning it is a pain. I would buy this gun again.

CRESTVIEW — Silvercrest Manor Nursing Home faces a fine and a state-mandated probation for failing to report allegations of abuse and to implement procedures to prevent abuse.
The Agency for Health Care Administration has determined that three of 60 clients at the nursing home at 910 Brookmeade Drive were not "free of verbal or physical abuse," according to a proposed settlement agreement filed May 10.
Multiple staff members were made aware of "intentional rudeness, refusal of care and services, and rough physical treatment of residents," but failed to take appropriate action, according to the document.
Silvercrest Manor faces a fine of $13,500.
The nursing home has 30 days to appeal the findings, according to Health Care Administration official Richard Saliba, who could not comment specifically on the findings.
State officials found one Class 1 violation and one Class 2 violation during an inspection conducted in late 2012.
The Class 1 finding is considered the more serious violation, according to Carol Gormley, a senior policy adviser for state Senate President Don Gaetz.
"A Class 1 violation is certainly cause for an immediate fine or consequence of some sort," Gormley said.
The state order places Silvercrest Manor on a "watch list," and a conditional license issued subjects the facility to inspections every six months.
Al Hudson, a spokesman for Silvercrest Manor issued a statement denying the state's allegations.
"Silvercrest Manor disputes the cited deficiencies and denies any wrongdoing," he said. "Silvercrest Manor, through its dedicated associates, continues its mission of providing high quality and compassionate care to its residents."
Hudson said no staff members have been reprimanded as a result of the state's findings.
Brian Lee, executive director with the advocacy group Families for Better Care, said Silvercrest Manor will, pending approval of the sanctions, join the one in five Florida nursing homes on the state's watch list.
He said the findings at Silvercrest Manor struck him for the "failure of the nursing home to take action when made aware of abuse."
He said he was grateful for the state's quick work.
"I hope this nursing home will turn around and keep its residents safe," he said.

Sand-Tastic!: Levis Commons summer festival returns June 27-28Written by Jordan Finney | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Eight-ton sand sculptures and two 8-foot sidewalk chalk murals will be on full display at the fourth annual Sand-Tastic! festival, hosted June 27-28 by The Town Center at Levis Commons in Perrysburg.
"Northwest Ohio as a whole is a very artsy area," said Casey Pogan, marketing director for Levis Commons. "We have the Crosby Festival, the Black Swamp Arts Festival… our area really thrives on art. Sand-Tastic! has morphed into something that's still fun, but artsy." Chad Hartson, owner of Napoleon -based Ice Creations, will oversee the sand sculpture projects for the fourth year. They are one of the most popular features of Sand-Tastic!. "I went to culinary school to be a chef and my last year of college I took a bunch of sculpture classes," Hartson said. "It was something I loved to do and had a passion for so I forgot about the culinary stuff I was doing—other than ice carving— and focused on the sculpture side of things." The sand sculptures take three days to finish, with Hartson working on them 10-12 hours each day. In the past, he's carved everything from a "Toy Story" scene to a prisoner of war to an elephant. "For a lot of artists, the stuff we do is 'not really art.' My challenge to them is 'Let me see you do it,'" Hartson said. "It may not be your typical form of art —not paintings or drawings—but it is art. The art world is so vast and sand is one of those forms that people don't really think of as art until they see it as an elaborate display." Pogan said that Levis Commons has hosted parking lot parties, wine tastings and 5K races but the "art-inspired events" typically draw the biggest crowds. Last year, despite pouring rain on Saturday, Levis Commons' traffic counter counted about 15,000 attendees at Sand-Tastic!. However, this year's event organizers said they hope to attract 15,000 – 20,000 people to the event. "There's nothing like it in our area. You can have it be one giant play date," Pogan said. "Kids are getting out of school and need a reason to get together with friends and parents will be able to catch up with each other, too, while their kids are busy playing. "This is a great environment for reuniting."
Activities for children include a John Deere Gator track with miniature mobile tractors, bounce houses, water tables with squirt guns, a community sandbox, obstacle courses, and hands-on science games courtesy of Imagination Station. For especially eager sandcastle builders, free lessons from professional sand sculptors will be offered in the community sandbox on Friday and Saturday from 2 – 2:45 p.m. In addition, live music entertainment will be provided by DJ Paul Hernandez on Friday from 3 – 8 p.m. and by Jeff Stewart on Saturday from 2 – 4 p.m. The Toledo School of Arts' Steel Drum Band will perform on Saturday from 6 – 8 p.m. Businesses at Levis Commons plan to have normal business hours throughout the weekend and encourage visitors to take a break from the heat and check out their shops. "People just have so much fun with the sun and sand sculptures and friends at Sand-Tastic!," Hartson said. "The sand sculptures will be up at Levis Commons for about a week before they get taken down. Sand is a disposable art where it eventually has to get taken down. For me, the creating process is what's most important. There's this excitement that goes into creating a sculpture and seeing it finished. I want everyone to have that same experience — watching something beautiful built before your eyes."

Communication Policy
Online courses typically involve a lot of written communication, which can be time-consuming especially if certain communication standards or expectations are not easily identifiable by participants.
Some faculty find it helpful to maintain a communication policy within the Syllabus or as an Announcement. A sample appears below.
As an exercise in professional communication and self-representation, all emails and discussion board postings must follow traditional writing standards.
Each communication should include:
- A Salutation: Hi/Hello Person's Name
- A message or body that is clear, concise, polite, and has complete sentences with standard spelling and grammar–including capitalization and punctuation. (No text message-ese or IM slang).
- A Sign-Off: Thanks/See you Monday/Have a nice weekend/Best wishes, and your name.
When you have questions for me, please use the following guidelines so that other students may benefit:
- Questions about TECHNOLOGY should be asked in the Technology Questions discussion forum.
- Questions about an ASSIGNMENT or the SYLLABUS should be posted in the Questions for the Instructor discussion forum.
- PERSONAL MATTERS should be discussed with your instructor through email.

In principle, the decision by House Republicans to strip the food stamp program out of the current farm bill is not a bad thing. In practice, it may not be so bad either.
For the past 40 years or so, agricultural subsidies and supplemental nutrition programs (food stamps) for poor people have been joined at the hip, the idea being that combining the two, otherwise unrelated, initiatives could help win bipartisan support for an omnibus bill that contained something for every constituency: farmers, agribusiness, advocates for the poor, etc. The problem with such an approach is that it embodied the worst of interest-group politics, legislative back scratching, and pork barrel giveaways. No liberal legislator would vote against subsidies for rich sugar or cotton or tobacco farmers for example, if it meant cuts to the food stamp program. No Florida conservative would vote to cut food stamps if it also meant cuts to subsidies for his or her rich, sugar-growing constituents. Everyone got pretty much everything they wanted, and no serious policy debate ever occurred. So separating the two makes profound sense. But encouraging a serious policy debate is the last thing on House Republicans' minds.
In drafting and voting on a pure farm bill, House Republicans have laid bare their hypocrisy by showing, in black and white, the hollowness of their claims to budget-cutting rigor. It turns out that it's not government spending per se they object to: as long as it benefits the wealthy, they are quite okay with it. Indeed, in drafting the new farm bill the House Republicans rejected all calls to cap or eliminate subsidies to wealthy individuals and corporations. [click to continue…]

We had our Christmas photos done over the weekend. The boys look absolutely wonderful. The photographer we use, a friend of a friend, does an amazing job!
Its so weird to look back and think of all the hard times - PE and HELLP and jaundice with Miles, petrified while I was pregnant with Josh, horrible L&D with him, weird high fever when he was so tiny, lots of colds and stomach bugs and ear infections and falls and bumps and bruises with both boys, ear tubes x2, tonsillectomy... and to see them today, to see them smile, makes my heart smile and washes away all the bad things.

The Sak Iris Satchel 29 29
Odor ridden Love the look of this bag and was very excited about using for our 25th anniversary trip. Received a couple weeks before trip, took out if box and plastic bag was hit with this awful odor. Hung up in front of window in mudroom for close to 2wks and still can't use! Very disappointed and am in process of returning. July 22, 2015
Perfect iPad Case! This satchel is a really great size! It is not too big to carry as a regular purse, but big enough to carry my iPad when I need to take it with me. It is flat and rests well against the body. It is stylish with great stitching accents. Rolls up perfectly for compact packing. Big enough to be an easy shore bag. Strap is long enough to fit across the body and has a shoulder pad to make carrying heavier items comfortable. July 2, 2010
not travel smith standard This bag looks nice BUT is poorly made. The strap is secured ONLY by a single line of low quality stitching. Mine broke after a week and the leather repair shop I approached said they couldn't fix it either with stitches or rivets because of the location of the zipper. NOT Travel Smith standard - should not be in their catalogue. March 24, 2011
Excellent for travel I purchased the copper one and love the color; it will go with everything. It will be terrific for travel--close to the body, comfortable crossbody strap, room for alot, small outside safe pockets for passport. I will use it for every trip. May 7, 2010
LOVE THIS BAG I've used this bag (pewter) for 3 trips (and I've been carrying it around town, too). The size is absolutely perfect for holding everything I want to put in it, including a rather large case for prescription sunglasses. It's small enough, though, to put into a larger carry-on bag to keep the number of carry-ons down to 2 when boarding a plane. I do agree with others that the canvas(?) strap keeps this from being the absolutely PERFECT bag if one wants to take only one bag on a short trip...I've needed to pack a smaller dressier bag if I'm planning an evening out. June 6, 2011
Not so good This bag was a good size and configuration for me--there was a place for all the things I carry. However, the finish was tacky, and after a month started to rub off (from "pyrite" to red). Other reviewers have noted that its handle sometimes breaks and cannot be repaired; I noticed that the ends were beginning to fray. While traveling in Europe, I bought a replacement bag and put this one in a nearby trash can. October 4, 2011
Poor Quality I love the size of the bag and that you can easily wear it cross-body. However, the strap pulled out after using it only twice while I was on vacation. I am trying to return the purse but no longer have the receipt. I would love to try another one but I am afraid that it too will be poorly made. I would not recommend anyone taking a chance with this. May 30, 2011
Supreme Satchel I love, love this satchel!! It has all the perfect pockets & compartments. I have owned it twice over 10 years & used it in the toughest of situations from jumping & dancing in concerts to carrying literature in my commute. Everything fits in it perfectly & it keeps all your things organized. My favorite color is the Pyrite, it goes with everything & adds a little metallic pizzazz to my look. March 13, 2015

'Same Love'Written by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | firstname.lastname@example.com
A reader recently emailed kind words about my Jan. 20 column, "Murder by numbers," a plaintive commentary on the devaluation of life and decreasing respect for others. The same letter, with striking irony apparently lost on the writer, included the line, "I cannot understand your attitude for LGBT. I'm sure you would not want your son's [sic] to be raised by 2 mommys [sic]."
It confuses me that someone could appreciate a column about respect for others and at the same time disdain an entire lifestyle. Nor do I understand being asked to defend my support for human rights and equality.
I have long maintained that gay marriage in the United States is as inevitable as interracial marriage and other once-contested civil rights. There is no cogent, empirical argument that allowing gay people to marry has any detrimental effect on heterosexual marriage, that stalwart institution that barely 50 percent of Americans can successfully navigate. You don't have to like it, but understand that your distaste is irrelevant to the legal and social standards that should guarantee this right for all Americans.
Toledo Free Press has been proud to work with the LGBT community and in doing so I have met some amazing people and made some wonderful friends. In addition to my admiration for LGBT advocate Rick Cornett and his tireless work for the Holiday with Heart Charity Gayla, getting to know Toledo Pride's Lexi Staples and Emily Hickey has been one of the best rewards of my eight years with Toledo Free Press. Hickey, who is as lovely and loving a person as you are going to meet, and Cornett contribute columns to Toledo Free Press Star.
At the 2012 Holiday with Heart Gayla, Cornett presented Toledo Free Press with the event's Founder's Award, which is given annually to a supporter of the LGBT community. A photo of Cornett and me appeared on the front page of the Dec. 14 Gay People's Chronicle, Ohio's LGBT newspaper; a framed version hangs in my office.
None of this strikes me as daring, brave or even all that notable in the grand scheme of life. But there are obviously still a lot of people who equate "gay" with "inferior."
Almost exactly five years ago, I wrote a column, "Gay rights and wrongs," about inequality in work benefits for gay couples. "The gay rights struggle is something I experience secondhand, like my black friends' struggles and my wheelchair-bound friend's struggles," I wrote. "It's basic Golden Rule territory: Don't judge people for the color of their skin or their physical challenges, and don't judge them for their sexuality. I know that is a simplified and naïve statement, but for me, the issue really is that simple. There are people who are so strongly anti-gay rights, they lust for legislation to limit the gay community's freedoms. That makes no intellectual or moral sense to me. Some of this prejudice is based in religion. I find it confusing that people who believe in a savior who opens his arms to everyone think he'll draw those same arms shut to keep gay people away."
Crystal Dixon, who was then associate vice president for human resources at the University of Toledo and an elder and minister at End Time Christian Fellowship in Toledo, took great umbrage to any comparison between the civil rights struggle of African-Americans and gay people. In a response column to Toledo Free Press, she characterized homosexuality as a "choice." She was fired by UT for her comments and eventually lost a lawsuit against the university.
I have believed for a while that trying to change the minds of homophobic people is akin to King Canute ordering back the sea. But the discovery of a new song on the subject shames me into realizing how lazy and defeatist my attitude is.
The hip-hop duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis have found huge success with their album "The Heist" and their No. 1 song, "Thrift Shop." But another track on the album, "Same Love," represents a dramatic revolution in pop culture. While gay actors have found increasing success in film and television, hip-hop and rap, one of the country's biggest-selling musical genres, have remained locked and shuttered against gay rights. That follows decades of tradition in black music and rap. Until the advent of gay musician Frank Ocean and now "Same Love," most mentions of gay people have been hostile and intolerant.
Over a piano couplet that might have come from the Randy Newman hymnal, Macklemore raps:
"When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay
'Cause I could draw, my uncle was, and I kept my room straight
I told my mom, tears rushing down my face
She's like, 'Ben you've loved girls since before pre-K'
Yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't she?
Bunch of stereotypes all in my head.
I remember doing the math like, 'Yeah, I'm good at little league'
A preconceived idea of what it all meant
For those that liked the same sex
Had the characteristics
The right-wing conservatives think it's a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
Man-made, rewiring of a predisposition
Playing God, aw nah, here we go
America the brave still fears what we don't know
And God loves all his children, it's somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written 3,500 years ago
I don't know"
Then, over a solo, aching trumpet line, openly gay Seattle singer Mary Lambert sings:
"And I can't change, even if I tried, even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love, she keeps me warm"
Macklemore returns:
"If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me
Have you read the YouTube comments lately?
'Man, that's gay' gets dropped on the daily
We've become so numb to what we're saying
A culture founded from oppression
Yet we don't have acceptance for 'em
Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board
A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it
Gay is synonymous with the lesser
It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion
Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment
The same fight that led people to walkouts and sit-ins
It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference!
Live on and be yourself
When I was at church they taught me something else
If you preach hate at the service those words aren't anointed
That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned
When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless
Rather than fighting for humans that had their rights stolen
I might not be the same, but that's not important
No freedom till we're equal, damn right I support it"
With the addition of pounding percussion Adele would be proud of, Lambert repeats the chorus.
Then, Macklemore continues:
"We press play, don't press pause
Progress, march on
With the veil over our eyes
We turn our back on the cause
Till the day that my uncles can be united by law
When kids are walking 'round the hallway
plagued by pain in their heart
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are
And a certificate on paper isn't gonna solve it all
But it's a damn good place to start
No law is gonna change us
We have to change us
Whatever god you believe in
We come from the same one
Strip away the fear
Underneath it's all the same love
About time that we raised up"
Lambert sings the chorus again, and as the song fades, she sings lines from First Corinthians:
"Love is patient, love is kind
Love is patient, love is kind"
Then, between those lines, Lambert adds, "I'm not crying on Sundays," a defiant note to those who embrace Christianity but exclude Christ's gay followers.
Lambert joined Macklemore and Lewis to perform "Same Love" on the "Ellen DeGeneres Show" and has helped propel the track to nearly 20 million views on YouTube. More impressively, this politically charged track made the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 89. It has reached No. 1 in a number of countries and spurred serious discussion in America. In December, Susan Johnson, a teacher at Centennial Middle School in the Detroit area was suspended for playing the song (which as you have read contains no sexual content just social commentary) to her class.
"This incident is just one of tens of thousands that have happened across the country where schools have exposed a latent homophobia, preventing safe space for all young people to feel confident in being themselves," Macklemore wrote on his Facebook page. "It's clear that Ms. Johnson felt bullying and 'gay bashing' were issues that needed to be addressed, and by doing so, was punished."
"Same Love" is eloquent, groundbreaking and, I fervently hope, destined to the scrapheap of history when the death of anti-gay prejudice and ignorant hate render it irrelevant.
So to the letter writer who "cannot understand" my "attitude for LGBT," I offer the patience and understanding I wish he would employ with others.
I also want to let him know that I am friends and family with a number of "2 mommys" who have done stellar jobs raising children, and to whom I would entrust the raising of my children without hesitation. They would raise more open-minded, loving and spiritual thinkers than his parents apparently did.

The high school football season unofficially arrives Friday with the Kickoff Classics. Baker travels to Jay for the Preseason War of Highway 4; Crestview will be at Pace to face the Patriots.
This will be my 13th consecutive season covering Northwest Florida high school football. I also spent a year covering it as a freelancer in the fall of 1985. Escambia High School had a good junior running back on that team some local athletes can brag about playing.
Everyone who follows football knows about Emmitt Smith, the all-time rushing leader in National Football League history.
After that 1985 season it was another 16 years before I covered a high school football game in Northwest Florida. By that time, I was in the business full time working for the Northwest Florida Daily News.
I covered Jeff Webb's last season coaching the Baker Gators and Matt Brunson's first year coaching the Crestview Bulldogs.
Jacob Cosson was the Crestview quarterback and Vernon Jones was the do-it-all star under center for the Gators. Jones might just be the best all-around athlete I've seen in my 12 seasons in Okaloosa County.
As good as Jones was in each sport, the toughest player I've seen is former Bulldog running back Adam Phillips.
The best way to describe Phillips is old school. Phillips, who also played safety on defense, sported a scar across the bridge of his nose from where his helmet constantly came down when he made a tackle or took on a tackler.
Coaches often talk about players with the will to win, those who can carry a team; Phillips was — when he wanted to be — that kind of player.
Four years ago, Crestview opened the season in the Kickoff Classic against a team from Santa Rosa County that is near and dear to my heart: my alma mater, Gulf Breeze. That night, freshman safety Tyler Henderson gave fans a glimpse of what he would do the next four years.
Henderson intercepted the first Dolphin pass that came his way and returned it for a touchdown. Only injuries could keep Henderson off the field during his playing days. Henderson is now at Florida Atlantic University, where he's fighting for playing time as a true freshman.
I've learned that each season presents a set of memories all its own. No two teams, no matter how similar, are ever exactly alike. Each generation has memories unique to that time and place.
A few years ago I did a story on the legacy Donald Griffith and his family made to Baker football. Donald was the first of three generations to play for the Gators. He was a lineman on one of Baker's teams in the 1950s.
Donald's son, Warren, played for the Gators in the mid-1970s and Warren's sons, Drew and Ben, followed the family tradition. I covered the two younger Griffiths.
The Griffiths' story reminded me that high school football was, and continues to be, a family affair.
Friday night, the lights come on for dress rehearsals. A week from Friday, teams take to the field in games that count.
It's time to strap it on as memories for the making await.

This post is part of a weekly series of 'link-up' Posts which reflect on life's journey, old memories and family stories (see below for more info).
After my semi-negligent parents failed to notice that I spent the first 8 years of my life sitting a cosy 3 feet away from the TV set, the Optician arrived at school. This innocuous event turned out to be the worst day of my life. An event from which I have never recovered, for it resulted in the discovery that I couldn't see a bloody thing. This, in turn resulted in a trip to the High Street Optician, which resulted in the provision of a pair of pig-ugly NHS spectacles and a lot of tears.
No photographs remain of my butt-ugly days in those pink monstrosities (I may have played a hand in their mutilation, or more likely didn't wear them enough to actually be caught on celluloid in them). I imagine that I looked something like this…..
I can clearly remember the day we chose these pink beasties. Led by my parents, who with retrospect obviously thought that FREE was more important than a lifetime of self-esteem for their beloved 8 year old daughter, I was presented with a display board which held 3 options:-
1. ugly glasses in tortoiseshell brown (for boys)
2. ugly glasses in baby pink (for girls)
3. ugly glasses in baby blue (for boys and girls, and my classmate Jill who I'm still not entirely sure about)
If the expression "What the Actual F?!" had existed in 1975 then I surely would have used it. I waited for the trendy stuff to come out, but was met with a stoney silence. This, it seems, was to be the first day of the rest of my disappointing life. Pink it was.
It is hard to appreciate the splendour of an in-focus office block when you are viewing it through tear-stained pink beer bottles. I remember declaring my surprise that the windows in our house actually had square corners, and my Mother emitted a muffled "Sh**, I didn't realise she was THAT bad." Or I may have imagined that last bit, since it's probably more a commentary on my own mothering norms than hers…
At 18, I fair sprinted to the queue for contact lenses, and these have been my friends ever since. I almost wish I still had those godawful frames so that I could pop them on for you and Instagram myself up. But it would only serve to remind me just how much worse my sight has got since then, so best left alone, methinks!
Anyone out there got memories of the school optician, or a first eye test? Maybe you were the proud owner of a pair of blueys? Do share in the Linky!!!
Post an entry to your own Blog and use the Linky tool (link below) to enter your memories into the fray. If you like, just leave a comment and join in that way, but do join in.
If you feel sexy, grab the code too (just follow the link) and post it into your Blog entry – that way, everyone can pay it forward as they say – it's good to share.

Fluorescent Tadpoles May Detect Chemical Toxicity
A France-based company called WatchFrog is using fluorescent tadpoles to detect toxic chemicals in water effluent. Scientific American reports on the science behind WatchFrog and discusses how EPA is testing the technology to see if it can assess how chemicals interact with the thyroid system. If the testing works, EPA could use WatchFrog to screen chemicals for potential thyroid disruption. EPA has also helped develop the "FrogBox," which will allow WatchFrog to monitor stream pollution continuously.

Increasing the Efficiency of Chemical Toxicity Tests
An efficient way to find out if a chemical could harm an unborn child is by running the mouse embryonic stem cell test (EST). The Scientist interviewed EST experts about the best ways to use the test and about EST variations. One expert, EPA researcher, Sidney Hunter, tells The Scientist how EPA is developing easier ways to culture the cells, making the test even faster and cheaper to run.

Tyler Rio tossed a complete game and struck out 10 batters to lead Goose Creek Post 166 to a 2-1 win over the Lowcountry Heat on Thursday.
He scattered four hits and limited the winless Heat to a single run in the fourth inning in helping Goose Creek improve to 5-2 overall and 5-1 in League 1 play. Goose Creek scored single runs in the third and fourth innings, providing just enough run support for Rio.
Caleb Workman tossed seven innings for the Heat, limiting Post 166 to three hits while striking out six.
Post 166 travels to Beaufort on Thursday and concludes the regular season at home on June 30 against the Lowcountry Heat.
If Post 166 wins Thursday, it will wrap up the League 1 title for the fourth year in a row.
The playoffs begin July 7 and the state tournament is set for July 26-30 in Sumter.
