Column Elements and Expressions
===============================
.. currentmodule:: sqlalchemy.sql.expression
The expression API consists of a series of classes each of which represents a
specific lexical element within a SQL string. Composed together
into a larger structure, they form a statement construct that may
be *compiled* into a string representation that can be passed to a database.
The classes are organized into a hierarchy that begins at the basemost
:class:`.ClauseElement` class. Key subclasses include :class:`.ColumnElement`,
which represents the role of any column-based expression
in a SQL statement, such as in the columns clause, WHERE clause, and ORDER BY
clause, and :class:`.FromClause`, which represents the role of a token that
is placed in the FROM clause of a SELECT statement.
.. _sqlelement_foundational_constructors:
Column Element Foundational Constructors
-----------------------------------------
Standalone functions imported from the ``sqlalchemy`` namespace which are
used when building up SQLAlchemy Expression Language constructs.
.. autofunction:: and_
.. autofunction:: bindparam
.. autofunction:: case
.. autofunction:: cast
.. autofunction:: column
.. autoclass:: custom_op
:members:
.. autofunction:: distinct
.. autofunction:: extract
.. autofunction:: false
.. autodata:: func

.. autofunction:: or_
.. autofunction:: outparam
.. autofunction:: text
.. autofunction:: true
.. autofunction:: tuple_
.. autofunction:: type_coerce
.. autoclass:: quoted_name
.. attribute:: quote
whether the string should be unconditionally quoted
.. _sqlelement_modifier_constructors:
Column Element Modifier Constructors
-------------------------------------
Functions listed here are more commonly available as methods from any
:class:`_sql.ColumnElement` construct, for example, the
:func:`_sql.label` function is usually invoked via the
:meth:`_sql.ColumnElement.label` method.
.. autofunction:: all_
.. autofunction:: any_
.. autofunction:: asc
.. autofunction:: between
.. autofunction:: collate
.. autofunction:: desc
.. autofunction:: funcfilter
.. autofunction:: label
.. autofunction:: nulls_first
.. autofunction:: nulls_last
.. autofunction:: over
.. autofunction:: within_group
