SQLAlchemy column name with space

Question

I\'m trying to filter a table on a column that contain spaces.

...
events = database_session.query(table)
events.filter(table.column with space == \'xvalue\'         


        

Answer 1

There are two ways to resolve this.

1. When defining the table you would need to specify an alias with the key parameter

t_table_name = Table(
    'tablename',
    metadata,
    Column('SQL Column', Integer, key='sql_column')
)

2. Define the ORM class as

class Employee(Base):
    emp_name = Column("employee name", String)
