  """The Query class and support.
  
  Defines the :class:`_query.Query` class, the central
  construct used by the ORM to construct database queries.
  
  The :class:`_query.Query` class should not be confused with the
  :class:`_expression.Select` class, which defines database
  SELECT operations at the SQL (non-ORM) level.  ``Query`` differs from
  ``Select`` in that it returns ORM-mapped objects and interacts with an
  ORM session, whereas the ``Select`` construct interacts directly with the
  database to return iterable result sets.

      :class:`_query.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
      :class:`_query.Query` object, a copy of the former with additional
      criteria and options associated with it.
  
      :class:`_query.Query` objects are normally initially generated using the
      :meth:`~.Session.query` method of :class:`.Session`, and in
      less common cases by instantiating the :class:`_query.Query` directly and
      associating with a :class:`.Session` using the
      :meth:`_query.Query.with_session`
      method.
  
      For a full walk through of :class:`_query.Query` usage, see the
      :ref:`ormtutorial_toplevel`.

          :meth:`_query.Query.get` is special in that it provides direct

          If not present,
          a SELECT is performed in order to locate the object.
  
          :meth:`_query.Query.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.

          :meth:`_query.Query.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
          :class:`_query.Query` must be constructed in this way,
          i.e. against a single mapped entity,
          with no additional filtering criterion.  Loading
          options via :meth:`_query.Query.options` may be applied

          yet locally present.
  
          :param ident: A scalar, tuple, or dictionary representing the
           primary key.  For a composite (e.g. multiple column) primary key,
           a tuple or dictionary should be passed.
  
           For a single-column primary key, the scalar calling form is typically
           the most expedient.  If the primary key of a row is the value "5",
           the call looks like::
  
              my_object = query.get(5)
  
           The tuple form contains primary key values typically in
           the order in which they correspond to the mapped
           :class:`_schema.Table`
           object's primary key columns, or if the
           :paramref:`_orm.Mapper.primary_key` configuration parameter were
           used, in
           the order used for that parameter. For example, if the primary key
           of a row is represented by the integer
           digits "5, 10" the call would look like::
  
               my_object = query.get((5, 10))
  
           The dictionary form should include as keys the mapped attribute names
           corresponding to each element of the primary key.  If the mapped class
           has the attributes ``id``, ``version_id`` as the attributes which
           store the object's primary key value, the call would look like::

          r"""return a Query that selects from this Query's
          SELECT statement.
  
          :meth:`_query.Query.from_self` essentially turns the SELECT statement
          into a SELECT of itself.  Given a query such as::
  
              q = session.query(User).filter(User.name.like('e%'))
  
          Given the :meth:`_query.Query.from_self` version::
  
              q = session.query(User).filter(User.name.like('e%')).from_self()
  
          This query renders as:
  
          .. sourcecode:: sql
  
              SELECT anon_1.user_id AS anon_1_user_id,
                     anon_1.user_name AS anon_1_user_name
              FROM (SELECT "user".id AS user_id, "user".name AS user_name
              FROM "user"
              WHERE "user".name LIKE :name_1) AS anon_1
  
          There are lots of cases where :meth:`_query.Query.from_self`
          may be useful.
          A simple one is where above, we may want to apply a row LIMIT to
          the set of user objects we query against, and then apply additional
          joins against that row-limited set::
  
              q = session.query(User).filter(User.name.like('e%')).\
                  limit(5).from_self().\
                  join(User.addresses).filter(Address.email.like('q%'))
  
          The above query joins to the ``Address`` entity but only against the
          first five results of the ``User`` query:
  
          .. sourcecode:: sql
  
              SELECT anon_1.user_id AS anon_1_user_id,
                     anon_1.user_name AS anon_1_user_name
              FROM (SELECT "user".id AS user_id, "user".name AS user_name
              FROM "user"
              WHERE "user".name LIKE :name_1
               LIMIT :param_1) AS anon_1
              JOIN address ON anon_1.user_id = address.user_id
              WHERE address.email LIKE :email_1
  
          **Automatic Aliasing**
  
          Another key behavior of :meth:`_query.Query.from_self`
          is that it applies
          **automatic aliasing** to the entities inside the subquery, when
          they are referenced on the outside.  Above, if we continue to
          refer to the ``User`` entity without any additional aliasing applied
          to it, those references will be in terms of the subquery::
  
              q = session.query(User).filter(User.name.like('e%')).\
                  limit(5).from_self().\
                  join(User.addresses).filter(Address.email.like('q%')).\
                  order_by(User.name)
  
          The ORDER BY against ``User.name`` is aliased to be in terms of the
          inner subquery:
  
          .. sourcecode:: sql
  
              SELECT anon_1.user_id AS anon_1_user_id,
                     anon_1.user_name AS anon_1_user_name
              FROM (SELECT "user".id AS user_id, "user".name AS user_name
              FROM "user"
              WHERE "user".name LIKE :name_1
               LIMIT :param_1) AS anon_1
              JOIN address ON anon_1.user_id = address.user_id
              WHERE address.email LIKE :email_1 ORDER BY anon_1.user_name
  
          The automatic aliasing feature only works in a **limited** way,
          for simple filters and orderings.   More ambitious constructions
          such as referring to the entity in joins should prefer to use
          explicit subquery objects, typically making use of the
          :meth:`_query.Query.subquery`
          method to produce an explicit subquery object.
          Always test the structure of queries by viewing the SQL to ensure
          a particular structure does what's expected!
  
          **Changing the Entities**
  
          :meth:`_query.Query.from_self`
          also includes the ability to modify what
          columns are being queried.   In our example, we want ``User.id``
          to be queried by the inner query, so that we can join to the
          ``Address`` entity on the outside, but we only wanted the outer
          query to return the ``Address.email`` column::
  
              q = session.query(User).filter(User.name.like('e%')).\
                  limit(5).from_self(Address.email).\
                  join(User.addresses).filter(Address.email.like('q%'))
  
          yielding:
  
          .. sourcecode:: sql
  
              SELECT address.email AS address_email
              FROM (SELECT "user".id AS user_id, "user".name AS user_name
              FROM "user"
              WHERE "user".name LIKE :name_1
               LIMIT :param_1) AS anon_1
              JOIN address ON anon_1.user_id = address.user_id
              WHERE address.email LIKE :email_1
  
          **Looking out for Inner / Outer Columns**
  
          Keep in mind that when referring to columns that originate from
          inside the subquery, we need to ensure they are present in the
          columns clause of the subquery itself; this is an ordinary aspect of
          SQL.  For example, if we wanted to load from a joined entity inside
          the subquery using :func:`.contains_eager`, we need to add those
          columns.   Below illustrates a join of ``Address`` to ``User``,
          then a subquery, and then we'd like :func:`.contains_eager` to access
          the ``User`` columns::
  
              q = session.query(Address).join(Address.user).\
                  filter(User.name.like('e%'))
  
              q = q.add_entity(User).from_self().\
                  options(contains_eager(Address.user))
  
          We use :meth:`_query.Query.add_entity` above **before** we call
          :meth:`_query.Query.from_self`
          so that the ``User`` columns are present
          in the inner subquery, so that they are available to the
          :func:`.contains_eager` modifier we are using on the outside,
          producing:
  
          .. sourcecode:: sql
  
              SELECT anon_1.address_id AS anon_1_address_id,
                     anon_1.address_email AS anon_1_address_email,
                     anon_1.address_user_id AS anon_1_address_user_id,
                     anon_1.user_id AS anon_1_user_id,
                     anon_1.user_name AS anon_1_user_name
              FROM (
                  SELECT address.id AS address_id,
                  address.email AS address_email,
                  address.user_id AS address_user_id,
                  "user".id AS user_id,
                  "user".name AS user_name
              FROM address JOIN "user" ON "user".id = address.user_id
              WHERE "user".name LIKE :name_1) AS anon_1
  
          If we didn't call ``add_entity(User)``, but still asked
          :func:`.contains_eager` to load the ``User`` entity, it would be
          forced to add the table on the outside without the correct
          join criteria - note the ``anon1, "user"`` phrase at
          the end:
  
          .. sourcecode:: sql
  
              -- incorrect 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 :meth:`_query.Query.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 :meth:`_query.Query.join` along
          ``User.addresses`` will result in SQL approximately equivalent to::
  
              SELECT user.id, user.name
              FROM user JOIN address ON user.id = address.user_id
  
          In the above example we refer to ``User.addresses`` as passed to
          :meth:`_query.Query.join` as the "on clause", that is, it indicates
          how the "ON" portion of the JOIN should be constructed.
  
          To construct a chain of joins, multiple :meth:`_query.Query.join`
          calls may be used.  The relationship-bound attribute implies both
          the left and right side of the join at once::
  
              q = session.query(User).\
                      join(User.orders).\
                      join(Order.items).\
                      join(Item.keywords)
  
          .. note:: as seen in the above example, **the order in which each
             call to the join() method occurs is important**.    Query would not,
             for example, know how to join correctly if we were to specify
             ``User``, then ``Item``, then ``Order``, in our chain of joins; in
             such a case, depending on the arguments passed, it may raise an
             error that it doesn't know how to join, or it may produce invalid
             SQL in which case the database will raise an error. In correct
             practice, the
             :meth:`_query.Query.join` method is invoked in such a way that lines
             up with how we would want the JOIN clauses in SQL to be
             rendered, and each call should represent a clear link from what
             precedes it.
  
          **Joins to a Target Entity or Selectable**
  
          A second form of :meth:`_query.Query.join` allows any mapped entity or
          core selectable construct as a target.   In this usage,
          :meth:`_query.Query.join` will attempt to create a JOIN along the
          natural foreign key relationship between two entities::
  
              q = session.query(User).join(Address)
  
          In the above calling form, :meth:`_query.Query.join` is called upon to
          create the "on clause" automatically for us.  This calling form will
          ultimately raise an error if either there are no foreign keys between
          the two entities, or if there are multiple foreign key linkages between
          the target entity and the entity or entities already present on the
          left side such that creating a join requires more information.  Note
          that when indicating a join to a target without any ON clause, ORM
          configured relationships are not taken into account.
  
          **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.    A example that includes
          a SQL expression as the ON clause is as follows::
  
              q = session.query(User).join(Address, User.id==Address.user_id)
  
          The above form may also use a relationship-bound attribute as the
          ON clause as well::
  
              q = session.query(User).join(Address, User.addresses)
  
          The above syntax can be useful for the case where we wish
          to join to an alias of a particular target entity.  If we wanted
          to join to ``Address`` twice, it could be achieved using two
          aliases set up using the :func:`~sqlalchemy.orm.aliased` function::
  
              a1 = aliased(Address)
              a2 = aliased(Address)
  
              q = session.query(User).\
                      join(a1, User.addresses).\
                      join(a2, User.addresses).\
                      filter(a1.email_address=='ed@foo.com').\
                      filter(a2.email_address=='ed@bar.com')
  
          The relationship-bound calling form can also specify a target entity
          using the :meth:`_orm.PropComparator.of_type` method; a query
          equivalent to the one above would be::
  
              a1 = aliased(Address)
              a2 = aliased(Address)
  
              q = session.query(User).\
                      join(User.addresses.of_type(a1)).\
                      join(User.addresses.of_type(a2)).\
                      filter(a1.email_address == 'ed@foo.com').\
                      filter(a2.email_address == 'ed@bar.com')
  
          **Augmenting Built-in ON Clauses**
  
          As a substitute for providing a full custom ON condition for an
          existing relationship, the :meth:`_orm.PropComparator.and_` function
          may be applied to a relationship attribute to augment additional
          criteria into the ON clause; the additional criteria will be combined
          with the default criteria using AND::
  
              q = session.query(User).join(
                  User.addresses.and_(Address.email_address != 'foo@bar.com')
              )
  
          .. versionadded:: 1.4
  
          **Joining to Tables and Subqueries**
  
  
          The target of a join may also be any table or SELECT statement,
          which may be related to a target entity or not.   Use the
          appropriate ``.subquery()`` method in order to make a subquery
          out of a query::
  
              subq = session.query(Address).\
                  filter(Address.email_address == 'ed@foo.com').\
                  subquery()
  
  
              q = session.query(User).join(
                  subq, User.id == subq.c.user_id
              )
  
          Joining to a subquery in terms of a specific relationship and/or
          target entity may be achieved by linking the subquery to the
          entity using :func:`_orm.aliased`::
  
              subq = session.query(Address).\
                  filter(Address.email_address == 'ed@foo.com').\
                  subquery()
  
              address_subq = aliased(Address, subq)
  
              q = session.query(User).join(
                  User.addresses.of_type(address_subq)
              )
  
  
          **Controlling what to Join From**
  
          In cases where the left side of the current state of
          :class:`_query.Query` is not in line with what we want to join from,
          the :meth:`_query.Query.select_from` method may be used::
  
              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
  
          **Legacy Features of Query.join()**
  
          .. deprecated:: 1.4 The following features are deprecated and will
             be removed in SQLAlchemy 2.0.
  
          The :meth:`_query.Query.join` method currently supports several
          usage patterns and arguments that are considered to be legacy
          as of SQLAlchemy 1.3.   A deprecation path will follow
          in the 1.4 series for the following features:
  
  
          * Joining on relationship names rather than attributes::
  
              session.query(User).join("addresses")
  
            **Why it's legacy**: the string name does not provide enough context
            for :meth:`_query.Query.join` to always know what is desired,
            notably in that there is no indication of what the left side
            of the join should be.  This gives rise to flags like
            ``from_joinpoint`` as well as the ability to place several
            join clauses in a single :meth:`_query.Query.join` call
            which don't solve the problem fully while also
            adding new calling styles that are unnecessary and expensive to
            accommodate internally.
  
            **Modern calling pattern**:  Use the actual relationship,
            e.g. ``User.addresses`` in the above case::
  
                session.query(User).join(User.addresses)
  
          * Automatic aliasing with the ``aliased=True`` flag::
  
              session.query(Node).join(Node.children, aliased=True).\
                  filter(Node.name == 'some name')
  
            **Why it's legacy**:  the automatic aliasing feature of
            :class:`_query.Query` is intensely complicated, both in its internal
            implementation as well as in its observed behavior, and is almost
            never used.  It is difficult to know upon inspection where and when
            its aliasing of a target entity, ``Node`` in the above case, will be
            applied and when it won't, and additionally the feature has to use
            very elaborate heuristics to achieve this implicit behavior.
  
            **Modern calling pattern**: Use the :func:`_orm.aliased` construct
            explicitly::
  
              from sqlalchemy.orm import aliased
  
              n1 = aliased(Node)
  
              session.query(Node).join(Node.children.of_type(n1)).\
                  filter(n1.name == 'some name')
  
          * Multiple joins in one call::
  
              session.query(User).join("orders", "items")
  
              session.query(User).join(User.orders, Order.items)
  
              session.query(User).join(
                  (Order, User.orders),
                  (Item, Item.order_id == Order.id)
              )
  
              session.query(User).join(Order, Item)
  
              # ... and several more forms actually
  
            **Why it's legacy**: being able to chain multiple ON clauses in one
            call to :meth:`_query.Query.join` is yet another attempt to solve
            the problem of being able to specify what entity to join from,
            and is the source of a large variety of potential calling patterns
            that are internally expensive and complicated to parse and
            accommodate.
  
            **Modern calling pattern**:  Use relationship-bound attributes
            or SQL-oriented ON clauses within separate calls, so that
            each call to :meth:`_query.Query.join` knows what the left
            side should be::
  
              session.query(User).join(User.orders).join(
                  Item, Item.order_id == Order.id)
  
  
          :param \*props: Incoming arguments for :meth:`_query.Query.join`,
           the props collection in modern use should be considered to be a  one
           or two argument form, either as a single "target" entity or ORM
           attribute-bound relationship, or as a target entity plus an "on
           clause" which  may be a SQL expression or ORM attribute-bound
           relationship.
  
          :param isouter=False: If True, the join used will be a left outer join,
           just as if the :meth:`_query.Query.outerjoin` method were called.
  
          :param full=False: render FULL OUTER JOIN; implies ``isouter``.
  
           .. versionadded:: 1.1
  
          :param 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.
  
           .. note:: This flag is considered legacy.
  
          :param aliased=False: If True, indicate that the JOIN target should be
           anonymously aliased.  Subsequent calls to :meth:`_query.Query.filter`
           and similar will adapt the incoming criterion to the target
           alias, until :meth:`_query.Query.reset_joinpoint` is called.
  
           .. note:: This flag is considered legacy.
  
          .. seealso::

                  filter(User.name == 'ed')

          The :meth:`_query.Query.select_entity_from`
          method supplies an alternative
          approach to the use case of applying an :func:`.aliased` construct
          explicitly throughout a query.  Instead of referring to the
          :func:`.aliased` construct explicitly,
          :meth:`_query.Query.select_entity_from` automatically *adapts* all
          occurrences of the entity to the target selectable.
  
          Given a case for :func:`.aliased` such as selecting ``User``
          objects from a SELECT statement::
  
              select_stmt = select(User).where(User.id == 7)
              user_alias = aliased(User, select_stmt)
  
              q = session.query(user_alias).\
                  filter(user_alias.name == 'ed')
  
          Above, we apply the ``user_alias`` object explicitly throughout the
          query.  When it's not feasible for ``user_alias`` to be referenced
          explicitly in many places, :meth:`_query.Query.select_entity_from`
          may be
          used at the start of the query to adapt the existing ``User`` entity::
  
              q = session.query(User).\
                  select_entity_from(select_stmt.subquery()).\
                  filter(User.name == 'ed')
  
          Above, the generated SQL will show that the ``User`` entity is
          adapted to our statement, even in the case of the WHERE clause:
  
          .. sourcecode:: sql
  
              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
  
          The :meth:`_query.Query.select_entity_from` method is similar to the
          :meth:`_query.Query.select_from` method,
          in that it sets the FROM clause
          of the query.  The difference is that it additionally applies
          adaptation to the other parts of the query that refer to the
          primary entity.  If above we had used :meth:`_query.Query.select_from`
          instead, the SQL generated would have been:
  
          .. sourcecode:: sql
  
              -- uses plain select_from(), not select_entity_from()
              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
  
          To supply textual SQL to the :meth:`_query.Query.select_entity_from`
          method,
          we can make use of the :func:`_expression.text` construct.  However,
          the
          :func:`_expression.text`
          construct needs to be aligned with the columns of our
          entity, which is achieved by making use of the
          :meth:`_expression.TextClause.columns` method::
  
              text_stmt = text("select id, name from user").columns(
                  User.id, User.name).subquery()
              q = session.query(User).select_entity_from(text_stmt)
  
          :meth:`_query.Query.select_entity_from` itself accepts an
          :func:`.aliased`
          object, so that the special options of :func:`.aliased` such as
          :paramref:`.aliased.adapt_on_names` may be used within the
          scope of the :meth:`_query.Query.select_entity_from`
          method's adaptation
          services.  Suppose
          a view ``user_view`` also returns rows from ``user``.    If
          we reflect this view into a :class:`_schema.Table`, this view has no
          relationship to the :class:`_schema.Table` to which we are mapped,
          however
          we can use name matching to select from it::
  
              user_view = Table('user_view', metadata,
                                autoload_with=engine)
              user_view_alias = aliased(
                  User, user_view, adapt_on_names=True)
              q = session.query(User).\
                  select_entity_from(user_view_alias).\
