Is there a way to obtain the compiled SQLAlchemy statement without having the percentage signs conditionally escaped?
The following MySQL example:
from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String
from sqlalchemy.dialects import mysql
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.sql import select
Base = declarative_base()
class User(Base):
__tablename__ = 'users'
id = Column(Integer(), primary_key=True)
name = Column(String(80), unique=True)
statement = select([User.name]).where(User.name.like('bob%')).limit(10)
query = str(statement.compile(dialect=mysql.dialect(), compile_kwargs={'literal_binds': True}))
print(query)
generates a compiled statement with the percent sign escaped:
SELECT users.name
FROM users
WHERE users.name LIKE 'bob%%'
LIMIT 10
rather than:
SELECT users.name
FROM users
WHERE users.name LIKE 'bob%'
LIMIT 10
I gather this is to ensure that the string can correctly be formatted using the MySQL pyformat parameter style. Is the correct logic for obtaining the later statement simply:
print(query % {})
