How to print all columns in SQLAlchemy ORM

Question

Using SQLAlchemy, I am trying to print out all of the attributes of each model that I have in a manner similar to:

SELECT * from table;

How

Answer 1

Put this together and found it helpful:

from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker
engine = create_engine('mysql+pymysql://testuser:password@localhost:3306/testdb')
DeclarativeBase = declarative_base()
metadata = DeclarativeBase.metadata
metadata.bind = engine


# configure Session class with desired options
Session = sessionmaker()

# associate it with our custom Session class
Session.configure(bind=engine)

# work with the session
session = Session()

And then:

d = {k: metadata.tables[k].columns.keys() for k in metadata.tables.keys()}

Example output print(d):

{'orderdetails': ['orderNumber', 'productCode', 'quantityOrdered', 'priceEach', 'orderLineNumber'], 
'offices': ['addressLine1', 'addressLine2', 'city', 'country', 'officeCode', 'phone', 'postalCode', 'state', 'territory'],
'orders': ['comments', 'customerNumber', 'orderDate', 'orderNumber', 'requiredDate', 'shippedDate', 'status'],
'products': ['MSRP', 'buyPrice', 'productCode', 'productDescription', 'productLine', 'productName', 'productScale', 'productVendor', 'quantityInStock'],
'employees': ['employeeNumber', 'lastName', 'firstName', 'extension', 'email', 'officeCode', 'reportsTo', 'jobTitle'], 
'customers': ['addressLine1', 'addressLine2', 'city', 'contactFirstName', 'contactLastName', 'country', 'creditLimit', 'customerName', 'customerNumber', 'phone', 'postalCode', 'salesRepEmployeeNumber', 'state'],
'productlines': ['htmlDescription', 'image', 'productLine', 'textDescription'],
'payments': ['amount', 'checkNumber', 'customerNumber', 'paymentDate']}

OR and then:

from sqlalchemy.sql import text
cmd = "SELECT * FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_schema = :db ORDER BY table_name,ordinal_position"
result = session.execute(
            text(cmd),
            {"db": "classicmodels"}
        )
result.fetchall()
