However, the :meth:`.ValuesBase.values` method can be used to "fix" a particular set of parameters into the statement. Multiple calls to :meth:`.ValuesBase.values` will produce a new construct, each one with the parameter list modified to include the new parameters sent. In the typical case of a single dictionary of parameters, the newly passed keys will replace the same keys in the previous construct. In the case of a list-based "multiple values" construct, each new list of values is extended onto the existing list of values. :param \**kwargs: key value pairs representing the string key of a :class:`_schema.Column` mapped to the value to be rendered into the VALUES or SET clause:: users.insert().values(name="some name") users.update().where(users.c.id==5).values(name="some name") :param \*args: As an alternative to passing key/value parameters, a dictionary, tuple, or list of dictionaries or tuples can be passed as a single positional argument in order to form the VALUES or SET clause of the statement. The forms that are accepted vary based on whether this is an :class:`_expression.Insert` or an :class:`_expression.Update` construct. For either an :class:`_expression.Insert` or :class:`_expression.Update` construct, a single dictionary can be passed, which works the same as that of the kwargs form:: users.insert().values({"name": "some name"}) users.update().values({"name": "some new name"}) Also for either form but more typically for the :class:`_expression.Insert` construct, a tuple that contains an entry for every column in the table is also accepted:: users.insert().values((5, "some name")) The :class:`_expression.Insert` construct also supports being passed a list of dictionaries or full-table-tuples, which on the server will render the less common SQL syntax of "multiple values" - this syntax is supported on backends such as SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, but not necessarily others:: users.insert().values([ {"name": "some name"}, {"name": "some other name"}, {"name": "yet another name"}, ]) The above form would render a multiple VALUES statement similar to:: INSERT INTO users (name) VALUES (:name_1), (:name_2), (:name_3) It is essential to note that **passing multiple values is NOT the same as using traditional executemany() form**. The above syntax is a **special** syntax not typically used. To emit an INSERT statement against multiple rows, the normal method is to pass a multiple values list to the :meth:`_engine.Connection.execute` method, which is supported by all database backends and is generally more efficient for a very large number of parameters. .. seealso:: :ref:`execute_multiple` - an introduction to the traditional Core method of multiple parameter set invocation for INSERTs and other statements. .. versionchanged:: 1.0.0 an INSERT that uses a multiple-VALUES clause, even a list of length one, implies that the :paramref:`_expression.Insert.inline` flag is set to True, indicating that the statement will not attempt to fetch the "last inserted primary key" or other defaults. The statement deals with an arbitrary number of rows, so the :attr:`_engine.CursorResult.inserted_primary_key` accessor does not apply. .. versionchanged:: 1.0.0 A multiple-VALUES INSERT now supports columns with Python side default values and callables in the same way as that of an "executemany" style of invocation; the callable is invoked for each row. See :ref:`bug_3288` for other details. The UPDATE construct also supports rendering the SET parameters in a specific order.

E.g.:: stmt = table.insert().values(data='newdata').return_defaults() result = connection.execute(stmt) server_created_at = result.returned_defaults['created_at'] When used against a backend that supports RETURNING, all column values generated by SQL expression or server-side-default will be added to any existing RETURNING clause, provided that :meth:`.UpdateBase.returning` is not used simultaneously. The column values will then be available on the result using the :attr:`_engine.CursorResult.returned_defaults` accessor as a dictionary, referring to values keyed to the :class:`_schema.Column` object as well as its ``.key``. This method differs from :meth:`.UpdateBase.returning` in these ways: 1. :meth:`.ValuesBase.return_defaults` is only intended for use with an INSERT or an UPDATE statement that matches exactly one row per parameter set. While the RETURNING construct in the general sense supports multiple rows for a multi-row UPDATE or DELETE statement, or for special cases of INSERT that return multiple rows (e.g. INSERT from SELECT, multi-valued VALUES clause), :meth:`.ValuesBase.return_defaults` is intended only for an "ORM-style" single-row INSERT/UPDATE statement. The row returned by the statement is also consumed implicitly when :meth:`.ValuesBase.return_defaults` is used. By contrast, :meth:`.UpdateBase.returning` leaves the RETURNING result-set intact with a collection of any number of rows. 2. It is compatible with the existing logic to fetch auto-generated primary key values, also known as "implicit returning". Backends that support RETURNING will automatically make use of RETURNING in order to fetch the value of newly generated primary keys; while the :meth:`.UpdateBase.returning` method circumvents this behavior, :meth:`.ValuesBase.return_defaults` leaves it intact. 3. It can be called against any backend. Backends that don't support RETURNING will skip the usage of the feature, rather than raising an exception. The return value of :attr:`_engine.CursorResult.returned_defaults` will be ``None`` 4. An INSERT statement invoked with executemany() is supported if the backend database driver supports the ``insert_executemany_returning`` feature, currently this includes PostgreSQL with psycopg2. When executemany is used, the :attr:`_engine.CursorResult.returned_defaults_rows` and :attr:`_engine.CursorResult.inserted_primary_key_rows` accessors will return the inserted defaults and primary keys. .. versionadded:: 1.4 :meth:`.ValuesBase.return_defaults` is used by the ORM to provide an efficient implementation for the ``eager_defaults`` feature of :func:`.mapper`. :param cols: optional list of column key names or :class:`_schema.Column` objects.

If left as ``None``, the ``SET`` conditions are determined from those parameters passed to the statement during the execution and/or compilation of the statement.

If both ``values`` and compile-time bind parameters are present, the compile-time bind parameters override the information specified within ``values`` on a per-key basis. The keys within ``values`` can be either :class:`_schema.Column` objects or their string identifiers (specifically the "key" of the :class:`_schema.Column`, normally but not necessarily equivalent to its "name"). Normally, the :class:`_schema.Column` objects used here are expected to be part of the target :class:`_schema.Table` that is the table to be updated. However when using MySQL, a multiple-table UPDATE statement can refer to columns from any of the tables referred to in the WHERE clause. The values referred to in ``values`` are typically: * a literal data value (i.e. string, number, etc.) * a SQL expression, such as a related :class:`_schema.Column`, a scalar-returning :func:`_expression.select` construct, etc. When combining :func:`_expression.select` constructs within the values clause of an :func:`_expression.update` construct, the subquery represented by the :func:`_expression.select` should be *correlated* to the parent table, that is, providing criterion which links the table inside the subquery to the outer table being updated:: users.update().values( name=select(addresses.c.email_address).\ where(addresses.c.user_id==users.c.id).\ scalar_subquery() ) .. seealso:: :ref:`inserts_and_updates` - SQL Expression Language Tutorial """ self._preserve_parameter_order = preserve_parameter_order super(Update, self).__init__(table, values, prefixes) self._bind = bind if returning: self._returning = returning if whereclause is not None: self._where_criteria += ( coercions.expect(roles.WhereHavingRole, whereclause), ) self._inline = inline if dialect_kw: self._validate_dialect_kwargs_deprecated(dialect_kw) self._return_defaults = return_defaults @_generative def ordered_values(self, *args): """Specify the VALUES clause of this UPDATE statement with an explicit parameter ordering that will be maintained in the SET clause of the resulting UPDATE statement.
