There are some cases where SQLAlchemy does not provide a generic way at accessing some DBAPI functions, such as as dealing with multiple result sets. In these cases, you should deal with the raw DBAPI connection directly.

From SQLAlchemy documentation:

connection = engine.raw_connection()
try:
    cursor = connection.cursor()
    cursor.execute("select * from table1; select * from table2")
    results_one = cursor.fetchall()
    cursor.nextset()
    results_two = cursor.fetchall()
    cursor.close()
finally:
    connection.close()

You can also do the same using mysql connector as seen here:

operation = 'SELECT 1; INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (); SELECT 2'
for result in cursor.execute(operation, multi=True):
  if result.with_rows:
    print("Rows produced by statement '{}':".format(
      result.statement))
    print(result.fetchall())
  else:
    print("Number of rows affected by statement '{}': {}".format(
      result.statement, result.rowcount))
