"""The schema module provides the building blocks for database metadata.
Each element within this module describes a database entity which can be
created and dropped, or is otherwise part of such an entity. Examples include
tables, columns, sequences, and indexes.
All entities are subclasses of :class:`~sqlalchemy.schema.SchemaItem`, and as
defined in this module they are intended to be agnostic of any vendor-specific
constructs.
A collection of entities are grouped into a unit called
:class:`~sqlalchemy.schema.MetaData`. MetaData serves as a logical grouping of
schema elements, and can also be associated with an actual database connection
such that operations involving the contained elements can contact the database
as needed.
Two of the elements here also build upon their "syntactic" counterparts, which
are defined in :class:`~sqlalchemy.sql.expression.`, specifically
:class:`~sqlalchemy.schema.Table` and :class:`~sqlalchemy.schema.Column`.
Since these objects are part of the SQL expression language, they are usable
as components in SQL expressions.

r"""Represent a table in a database.
e.g.::
mytable = Table("mytable", metadata,
Column('mytable_id', Integer, primary_key=True),
Column('value', String(50))
)
The :class:`.Table` object constructs a unique instance of itself based
on its name and optional schema name within the given
:class:`.MetaData` object. Calling the :class:`.Table`
constructor with the same name and same :class:`.MetaData` argument
a second time will return the *same* :class:`.Table` object - in this way
the :class:`.Table` constructor acts as a registry function.
.. seealso::
:ref:`metadata_describing` - Introduction to database metadata
Constructor arguments are as follows:
:param name: The name of this table as represented in the database.
The table name, along with the value of the ``schema`` parameter,
forms a key which uniquely identifies this :class:`.Table` within
the owning :class:`.MetaData` collection.
Additional calls to :class:`.Table` with the same name, metadata,
and schema name will return the same :class:`.Table` object.
Names which contain no upper case characters
will be treated as case insensitive names, and will not be quoted
unless they are a reserved word or contain special characters.
A name with any number of upper case characters is considered
to be case sensitive, and will be sent as quoted.
To enable unconditional quoting for the table name, specify the flag
``quote=True`` to the constructor, or use the :class:`.quoted_name`
construct to specify the name.
:param metadata: a :class:`.MetaData` object which will contain this
table. The metadata is used as a point of association of this table
with other tables which are referenced via foreign key. It also
may be used to associate this table with a particular
:class:`.Connectable`.
:param \*args: Additional positional arguments are used primarily
to add the list of :class:`.Column` objects contained within this
table. Similar to the style of a CREATE TABLE statement, other
:class:`.SchemaItem` constructs may be added here, including
:class:`.PrimaryKeyConstraint`, and :class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint`.
:param autoload: Defaults to False, unless :paramref:`.Table.autoload_with`
is set in which case it defaults to True; :class:`.Column` objects
for this table should be reflected from the database, possibly
augmenting or replacing existing :class:`.Column` objects that were
explicitly specified.
.. versionchanged:: 1.0.0 setting the :paramref:`.Table.autoload_with`
parameter implies that :paramref:`.Table.autoload` will default
to True.
.. seealso::
:ref:`metadata_reflection_toplevel`
:param autoload_replace: Defaults to ``True``; when using
:paramref:`.Table.autoload`
in conjunction with :paramref:`.Table.extend_existing`, indicates
that :class:`.Column` objects present in the already-existing
:class:`.Table` object should be replaced with columns of the same
name retrieved from the autoload process. When ``False``, columns
already present under existing names will be omitted from the
reflection process.
Note that this setting does not impact :class:`.Column` objects
specified programmatically within the call to :class:`.Table` that
also is autoloading; those :class:`.Column` objects will always
replace existing columns of the same name when
:paramref:`.Table.extend_existing` is ``True``.
.. seealso::
:paramref:`.Table.autoload`
:paramref:`.Table.extend_existing`
:param autoload_with: An :class:`.Engine` or :class:`.Connection` object
with which this :class:`.Table` object will be reflected; when
set to a non-None value, it implies that :paramref:`.Table.autoload`
is ``True``. If left unset, but :paramref:`.Table.autoload` is
explicitly set to ``True``, an autoload operation will attempt to
proceed by locating an :class:`.Engine` or :class:`.Connection` bound
to the underlying :class:`.MetaData` object.
.. seealso::
:paramref:`.Table.autoload`
:param extend_existing: When ``True``, indicates that if this
:class:`.Table` is already present in the given :class:`.MetaData`,
apply further arguments within the constructor to the existing
:class:`.Table`.
If :paramref:`.Table.extend_existing` or
:paramref:`.Table.keep_existing` are not set, and the given name
of the new :class:`.Table` refers to a :class:`.Table` that is
already present in the target :class:`.MetaData` collection, and
this :class:`.Table` specifies additional columns or other constructs
or flags that modify the table's state, an
error is raised. The purpose of these two mutually-exclusive flags
is to specify what action should be taken when a :class:`.Table`
is specified that matches an existing :class:`.Table`, yet specifies
additional constructs.
:paramref:`.Table.extend_existing` will also work in conjunction
with :paramref:`.Table.autoload` to run a new reflection
operation against the database, even if a :class:`.Table`
of the same name is already present in the target
:class:`.MetaData`; newly reflected :class:`.Column` objects
and other options will be added into the state of the
:class:`.Table`, potentially overwriting existing columns
and options of the same name.
As is always the case with :paramref:`.Table.autoload`,
:class:`.Column` objects can be specified in the same :class:`.Table`
constructor, which will take precedence. Below, the existing
table ``mytable`` will be augmented with :class:`.Column` objects
both reflected from the database, as well as the given :class:`.Column`
named "y"::
Table("mytable", metadata,
Column('y', Integer),
extend_existing=True,
autoload=True,
autoload_with=engine
)
.. seealso::
:paramref:`.Table.autoload`
:paramref:`.Table.autoload_replace`
:paramref:`.Table.keep_existing`
:param implicit_returning: True by default - indicates that
RETURNING can be used by default to fetch newly inserted primary key
values, for backends which support this. Note that
create_engine() also provides an implicit_returning flag.
:param include_columns: A list of strings indicating a subset of
columns to be loaded via the ``autoload`` operation; table columns who
aren't present in this list will not be represented on the resulting
``Table`` object. Defaults to ``None`` which indicates all columns
should be reflected.
:param resolve_fks: Whether or not to reflect :class:`.Table` objects
related to this one via :class:`.ForeignKey` objects, when
:paramref:`.Table.autoload` or :paramref:`.Table.autoload_with` is
specified. Defaults to True. Set to False to disable reflection of
related tables as :class:`.ForeignKey` objects are encountered; may be
used either to save on SQL calls or to avoid issues with related tables
that can't be accessed. Note that if a related table is already present
in the :class:`.MetaData` collection, or becomes present later, a
:class:`.ForeignKey` object associated with this :class:`.Table` will
resolve to that table normally.
.. versionadded:: 1.3
.. seealso::
:paramref:`.MetaData.reflect.resolve_fks`
:param info: Optional data dictionary which will be populated into the
:attr:`.SchemaItem.info` attribute of this object.
:param keep_existing: When ``True``, indicates that if this Table
is already present in the given :class:`.MetaData`, ignore
further arguments within the constructor to the existing
:class:`.Table`, and return the :class:`.Table` object as
originally created. This is to allow a function that wishes
to define a new :class:`.Table` on first call, but on
subsequent calls will return the same :class:`.Table`,
without any of the declarations (particularly constraints)
being applied a second time.
If :paramref:`.Table.extend_existing` or
:paramref:`.Table.keep_existing` are not set, and the given name
of the new :class:`.Table` refers to a :class:`.Table` that is
already present in the target :class:`.MetaData` collection, and
this :class:`.Table` specifies additional columns or other constructs
or flags that modify the table's state, an
error is raised. The purpose of these two mutually-exclusive flags
is to specify what action should be taken when a :class:`.Table`
is specified that matches an existing :class:`.Table`, yet specifies
additional constructs.
.. seealso::
:paramref:`.Table.extend_existing`
:param listeners: A list of tuples of the form ``(<eventname>, <fn>)``
which will be passed to :func:`.event.listen` upon construction.
This alternate hook to :func:`.event.listen` allows the establishment
of a listener function specific to this :class:`.Table` before
the "autoload" process begins. Particularly useful for
the :meth:`.DDLEvents.column_reflect` event::
def listen_for_reflect(table, column_info):
"handle the column reflection event"
# ...
t = Table(
'sometable',
autoload=True,
listeners=[
('column_reflect', listen_for_reflect)
])
:param mustexist: When ``True``, indicates that this Table must already
be present in the given :class:`.MetaData` collection, else
an exception is raised.
:param prefixes:
A list of strings to insert after CREATE in the CREATE TABLE
statement. They will be separated by spaces.
:param quote: Force quoting of this table's name on or off, corresponding
to ``True`` or ``False``. When left at its default of ``None``,
the column identifier will be quoted according to whether the name is
case sensitive (identifiers with at least one upper case character are
treated as case sensitive), or if it's a reserved word. This flag
is only needed to force quoting of a reserved word which is not known
by the SQLAlchemy dialect.
:param quote_schema: same as 'quote' but applies to the schema identifier.
:param schema: The schema name for this table, which is required if
the table resides in a schema other than the default selected schema
for the engine's database connection. Defaults to ``None``.
If the owning :class:`.MetaData` of this :class:`.Table` specifies its
own :paramref:`.MetaData.schema` parameter, then that schema name will
be applied to this :class:`.Table` if the schema parameter here is set
to ``None``. To set a blank schema name on a :class:`.Table` that
would otherwise use the schema set on the owning :class:`.MetaData`,
specify the special symbol :attr:`.BLANK_SCHEMA`.
.. versionadded:: 1.0.14 Added the :attr:`.BLANK_SCHEMA` symbol to
allow a :class:`.Table` to have a blank schema name even when the
parent :class:`.MetaData` specifies :paramref:`.MetaData.schema`.
The quoting rules for the schema name are the same as those for the
``name`` parameter, in that quoting is applied for reserved words or
case-sensitive names; to enable unconditional quoting for the schema
name, specify the flag ``quote_schema=True`` to the constructor, or use
the :class:`.quoted_name` construct to specify the name.
:param useexisting: the same as :paramref:`.Table.extend_existing`.
:param comment: Optional string that will render an SQL comment on table
creation.
.. versionadded:: 1.2 Added the :paramref:`.Table.comment` parameter
to :class:`.Table`.
:param \**kw: Additional keyword arguments not mentioned above are
dialect specific, and passed in the form ``<dialectname>_<argname>``.
See the documentation regarding an individual dialect at
:ref:`dialect_toplevel` for detail on documented arguments.

The callable accepts this parent :class:`.Table`, the

:class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint` object, and the existing
"target schema" of that constraint. The function should return the
string schema name that should be applied.

constraint, referred_schema):

new_table = table.tometadata(m2, schema="alt_schema",

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
r"""
Construct a new ``Column`` object.
:param name: The name of this column as represented in the database.
This argument may be the first positional argument, or specified
via keyword.
Names which contain no upper case characters
will be treated as case insensitive names, and will not be quoted
unless they are a reserved word. Names with any number of upper
case characters will be quoted and sent exactly. Note that this
behavior applies even for databases which standardize upper
case names as case insensitive such as Oracle.
The name field may be omitted at construction time and applied
later, at any time before the Column is associated with a
:class:`.Table`. This is to support convenient
usage within the :mod:`~sqlalchemy.ext.declarative` extension.
:param type\_: The column's type, indicated using an instance which
subclasses :class:`~sqlalchemy.types.TypeEngine`. If no arguments
are required for the type, the class of the type can be sent
as well, e.g.::
# use a type with arguments
Column('data', String(50))
# use no arguments
Column('level', Integer)
The ``type`` argument may be the second positional argument
or specified by keyword.
If the ``type`` is ``None`` or is omitted, it will first default to
the special type :class:`.NullType`. If and when this
:class:`.Column` is made to refer to another column using
:class:`.ForeignKey` and/or :class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint`, the type
of the remote-referenced column will be copied to this column as
well, at the moment that the foreign key is resolved against that
remote :class:`.Column` object.
.. versionchanged:: 0.9.0
Support for propagation of type to a :class:`.Column` from its
:class:`.ForeignKey` object has been improved and should be
more reliable and timely.
:param \*args: Additional positional arguments include various
:class:`.SchemaItem` derived constructs which will be applied
as options to the column. These include instances of
:class:`.Constraint`, :class:`.ForeignKey`, :class:`.ColumnDefault`,
and :class:`.Sequence`. In some cases an equivalent keyword
argument is available such as ``server_default``, ``default``
and ``unique``.
:param autoincrement: Set up "auto increment" semantics for an integer
primary key column. The default value is the string ``"auto"``
which indicates that a single-column primary key that is of
an INTEGER type with no stated client-side or python-side defaults
should receive auto increment semantics automatically;
all other varieties of primary key columns will not. This
includes that :term:`DDL` such as PostgreSQL SERIAL or MySQL
AUTO_INCREMENT will be emitted for this column during a table
create, as well as that the column is assumed to generate new
integer primary key values when an INSERT statement invokes which
will be retrieved by the dialect.
The flag may be set to ``True`` to indicate that a column which
is part of a composite (e.g. multi-column) primary key should
have autoincrement semantics, though note that only one column
within a primary key may have this setting. It can also
be set to ``True`` to indicate autoincrement semantics on a
column that has a client-side or server-side default configured,
however note that not all dialects can accommodate all styles
of default as an "autoincrement". It can also be
set to ``False`` on a single-column primary key that has a
datatype of INTEGER in order to disable auto increment semantics
for that column.
.. versionchanged:: 1.1 The autoincrement flag now defaults to
``"auto"`` which indicates autoincrement semantics by default
for single-column integer primary keys only; for composite
(multi-column) primary keys, autoincrement is never implicitly
enabled; as always, ``autoincrement=True`` will allow for
at most one of those columns to be an "autoincrement" column.
``autoincrement=True`` may also be set on a :class:`.Column`
that has an explicit client-side or server-side default,
subject to limitations of the backend database and dialect.
The setting *only* has an effect for columns which are:
* Integer derived (i.e. INT, SMALLINT, BIGINT).
* Part of the primary key
* Not referring to another column via :class:`.ForeignKey`, unless
the value is specified as ``'ignore_fk'``::
# turn on autoincrement for this column despite
# the ForeignKey()
Column('id', ForeignKey('other.id'),
primary_key=True, autoincrement='ignore_fk')
It is typically not desirable to have "autoincrement" enabled on a
column that refers to another via foreign key, as such a column is
required to refer to a value that originates from elsewhere.
The setting has these two effects on columns that meet the
above criteria:
* DDL issued for the column will include database-specific
keywords intended to signify this column as an
"autoincrement" column, such as AUTO INCREMENT on MySQL,
SERIAL on PostgreSQL, and IDENTITY on MS-SQL. It does
*not* issue AUTOINCREMENT for SQLite since this is a
special SQLite flag that is not required for autoincrementing
behavior.
.. seealso::
:ref:`sqlite_autoincrement`
* The column will be considered to be available using an
"autoincrement" method specific to the backend database, such
as calling upon ``cursor.lastrowid``, using RETURNING in an
INSERT statement to get at a sequence-generated value, or using
special functions such as "SELECT scope_identity()".
These methods are highly specific to the DBAPIs and databases in
use and vary greatly, so care should be taken when associating
``autoincrement=True`` with a custom default generation function.
:param default: A scalar, Python callable, or
:class:`.ColumnElement` expression representing the
*default value* for this column, which will be invoked upon insert
if this column is otherwise not specified in the VALUES clause of
the insert. This is a shortcut to using :class:`.ColumnDefault` as
a positional argument; see that class for full detail on the
structure of the argument.
Contrast this argument to :paramref:`.Column.server_default`
which creates a default generator on the database side.
.. seealso::
:ref:`metadata_defaults_toplevel`
:param doc: optional String that can be used by the ORM or similar
to document attributes on the Python side. This attribute does
**not** render SQL comments; use the :paramref:`.Column.comment`
parameter for this purpose.
:param key: An optional string identifier which will identify this
``Column`` object on the :class:`.Table`. When a key is provided,
this is the only identifier referencing the ``Column`` within the
application, including ORM attribute mapping; the ``name`` field
is used only when rendering SQL.
:param index: When ``True``, indicates that the column is indexed.
This is a shortcut for using a :class:`.Index` construct on the
table. To specify indexes with explicit names or indexes that
contain multiple columns, use the :class:`.Index` construct
instead.
:param info: Optional data dictionary which will be populated into the
:attr:`.SchemaItem.info` attribute of this object.
:param nullable: When set to ``False``, will cause the "NOT NULL"
phrase to be added when generating DDL for the column. When
``True``, will normally generate nothing (in SQL this defaults to
"NULL"), except in some very specific backend-specific edge cases
where "NULL" may render explicitly. Defaults to ``True`` unless
:paramref:`~.Column.primary_key` is also ``True``, in which case it
defaults to ``False``. This parameter is only used when issuing
CREATE TABLE statements.
:param onupdate: A scalar, Python callable, or
:class:`~sqlalchemy.sql.expression.ClauseElement` representing a
default value to be applied to the column within UPDATE
statements, which will be invoked upon update if this column is not
present in the SET clause of the update. This is a shortcut to
using :class:`.ColumnDefault` as a positional argument with
``for_update=True``.
.. seealso::
:ref:`metadata_defaults` - complete discussion of onupdate
:param primary_key: If ``True``, marks this column as a primary key
column. Multiple columns can have this flag set to specify
composite primary keys. As an alternative, the primary key of a
:class:`.Table` can be specified via an explicit
:class:`.PrimaryKeyConstraint` object.
:param server_default: A :class:`.FetchedValue` instance, str, Unicode
or :func:`~sqlalchemy.sql.expression.text` construct representing
the DDL DEFAULT value for the column.
String types will be emitted as-is, surrounded by single quotes::
Column('x', Text, server_default="val")
x TEXT DEFAULT 'val'
A :func:`~sqlalchemy.sql.expression.text` expression will be
rendered as-is, without quotes::
Column('y', DateTime, server_default=text('NOW()'))
y DATETIME DEFAULT NOW()
Strings and text() will be converted into a
:class:`.DefaultClause` object upon initialization.
Use :class:`.FetchedValue` to indicate that an already-existing
column will generate a default value on the database side which
will be available to SQLAlchemy for post-fetch after inserts. This
construct does not specify any DDL and the implementation is left
to the database, such as via a trigger.
.. seealso::
:ref:`server_defaults` - complete discussion of server side
defaults
:param server_onupdate: A :class:`.FetchedValue` instance
representing a database-side default generation function,
such as a trigger. This
indicates to SQLAlchemy that a newly generated value will be
available after updates. This construct does not actually
implement any kind of generation function within the database,
which instead must be specified separately.
.. seealso::
:ref:`triggered_columns`
:param quote: Force quoting of this column's name on or off,
corresponding to ``True`` or ``False``. When left at its default
of ``None``, the column identifier will be quoted according to
whether the name is case sensitive (identifiers with at least one
upper case character are treated as case sensitive), or if it's a
reserved word. This flag is only needed to force quoting of a
reserved word which is not known by the SQLAlchemy dialect.
:param unique: When ``True``, indicates that this column contains a
unique constraint, or if ``index`` is ``True`` as well, indicates
that the :class:`.Index` should be created with the unique flag.
To specify multiple columns in the constraint/index or to specify
an explicit name, use the :class:`.UniqueConstraint` or
:class:`.Index` constructs explicitly.
:param system: When ``True``, indicates this is a "system" column,
that is a column which is automatically made available by the
database, and should not be included in the columns list for a
``CREATE TABLE`` statement.
For more elaborate scenarios where columns should be
conditionally rendered differently on different backends,
consider custom compilation rules for :class:`.CreateColumn`.
:param comment: Optional string that will render an SQL comment on
table creation.
.. versionadded:: 1.2 Added the :paramref:`.Column.comment`
parameter to :class:`.Column`.

after the sequence has reached its maximum value will return an
error.

in a schema other than the default. The rules for selecting the
schema name when a :class:`.MetaData` is also present are the same
as that of :paramref:`.Table.schema`.
:param cache: optional integer value; number of future values in the
sequence which are calculated in advance. Renders the CACHE keyword
understood by Oracle and PostgreSQL.

ORDER keyword, understood by Oracle, indicating the sequence is
definitively ordered. May be necessary to provide deterministic
ordering using Oracle RAC.

:param optional: boolean value, when ``True``, indicates that this

on backends that don't provide another way to generate primary
key identifiers. Currently, it essentially means, "don't create
this sequence on the PostgreSQL backend, where the SERIAL keyword
creates a sequence for us automatically".
:param quote: boolean value, when ``True`` or ``False``, explicitly
forces quoting of the schema name on or off. When left at its
default of ``None``, normal quoting rules based on casing and
reserved words take place.
:param quote_schema: set the quoting preferences for the ``schema``
name.
:param metadata: optional :class:`.MetaData` object which this
:class:`.Sequence` will be associated with. A :class:`.Sequence`
that is associated with a :class:`.MetaData` gains the following
capabilities:

parameter specified to the target :class:`.MetaData`, which
affects the production of CREATE / DROP DDL, if any.
* The :meth:`.Sequence.create` and :meth:`.Sequence.drop` methods
automatically use the engine bound to the :class:`.MetaData`
object, if any.
* The :meth:`.MetaData.create_all` and :meth:`.MetaData.drop_all`
methods will emit CREATE / DROP for this :class:`.Sequence`,
even if the :class:`.Sequence` is not associated with any
:class:`.Table` / :class:`.Column` that's a member of this
:class:`.MetaData`.
The above behaviors can only occur if the :class:`.Sequence` is

may not be any transaction/connection in progress. However, it

don't match the columns that were marked as ``primary_key=True``, if both
are present; in this case, the columns are taken strictly from the

``primary_key=True`` now emits a warning if the lists don't match.
The ultimate behavior of ignoring those columns marked with the flag
only is currently maintained for backwards compatibility; this warning
may raise an exception in a future release.
For the use case where specific options are to be specified on the
:class:`.PrimaryKeyConstraint`, but the usual style of using
``primary_key=True`` flags is still desirable, an empty
:class:`.PrimaryKeyConstraint` may be specified, which will take on the

be specified for the purposes of establishing keyword arguments with
the constraint, independently of the specification of "primary key"
columns within the :class:`.Table` itself; columns marked as
``primary_key=True`` will be gathered into the empty constraint's

An Engine or Connection to bind to. May also be a string or URL

be bound to the resulting engine.
:param reflect:
Optional, automatically load all tables from the bound database.
Defaults to False. ``bind`` is required when this option is set.
:param schema:
The default schema to use for the :class:`.Table`,
:class:`.Sequence`, and potentially other objects associated with
this :class:`.MetaData`. Defaults to ``None``.
When this value is set, any :class:`.Table` or :class:`.Sequence`
which specifies ``None`` for the schema parameter will instead
have this schema name defined. To build a :class:`.Table`
or :class:`.Sequence` that still has ``None`` for the schema

symbol.
.. note::
As refered above, the :paramref:`.MetaData.schema` parameter
only refers to the **default value** that will be applied to
the :paramref:`.Table.schema` parameter of an incoming
:class:`.Table` object. It does not refer to how the
:class:`.Table` is catalogued within the :class:`.MetaData`,
which remains consistent vs. a :class:`.MetaData` collection
that does not define this parameter. The :class:`.Table`
within the :class:`.MetaData` will still be keyed based on its
schema-qualified name, e.g.
``my_metadata.tables["some_schema.my_table"]``.
The current behavior of the :class:`.ForeignKey` object is to
circumvent this restriction, where it can locate a table given
the table name alone, where the schema will be assumed to be
present from this value as specified on the owning
:class:`.MetaData` collection. However, this implies that a
table qualified with BLANK_SCHEMA cannot currently be referred
to by string name from :class:`.ForeignKey`. Other parts of
SQLAlchemy such as Declarative may not have similar behaviors
built in, however may do so in a future release, along with a
consistent method of referring to a table in BLANK_SCHEMA.

:param quote_schema:
Sets the ``quote_schema`` flag for those :class:`.Table`,

local ``schema`` name.
:param info: Optional data dictionary which will be populated into the
:attr:`.SchemaItem.info` attribute of this object.
.. versionadded:: 1.0.0
:param naming_convention: a dictionary referring to values which
will establish default naming conventions for :class:`.Constraint`
and :class:`.Index` objects, for those objects which are not given
a name explicitly.
The keys of this dictionary may be:
* a constraint or Index class, e.g. the :class:`.UniqueConstraint`,
:class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint` class, the :class:`.Index` class
* a string mnemonic for one of the known constraint classes;
``"fk"``, ``"pk"``, ``"ix"``, ``"ck"``, ``"uq"`` for foreign key,
primary key, index, check, and unique constraint, respectively.
* the string name of a user-defined "token" that can be used
to define new naming tokens.
The values associated with each "constraint class" or "constraint
mnemonic" key are string naming templates, such as
``"uq_%(table_name)s_%(column_0_name)s"``,
which describe how the name should be composed. The values
associated with user-defined "token" keys should be callables of the
form ``fn(constraint, table)``, which accepts the constraint/index
object and :class:`.Table` as arguments, returning a string
result.
The built-in names are as follows, some of which may only be
available for certain types of constraint:
* ``%(table_name)s`` - the name of the :class:`.Table` object
associated with the constraint.
* ``%(referred_table_name)s`` - the name of the :class:`.Table`
object associated with the referencing target of a
:class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint`.
* ``%(column_0_name)s`` - the name of the :class:`.Column` at
index position "0" within the constraint.
* ``%(column_0N_name)s`` - the name of all :class:`.Column`
objects in order within the constraint, joined without a
separator.
* ``%(column_0_N_name)s`` - the name of all :class:`.Column`
objects in order within the constraint, joined with an
underscore as a separator.
* ``%(column_0_label)s``, ``%(column_0N_label)s``,
``%(column_0_N_label)s`` - the label of either the zeroth
:class:`.Column` or all :class:`.Columns`, separated with
or without an underscore
* ``%(column_0_key)s``, ``%(column_0N_key)s``,
``%(column_0_N_key)s`` - the key of either the zeroth
:class:`.Column` or all :class:`.Columns`, separated with
or without an underscore
* ``%(referred_column_0_name)s``, ``%(referred_column_0N_name)s``
``%(referred_column_0_N_name)s``, ``%(referred_column_0_key)s``,
``%(referred_column_0N_key)s``, ... column tokens which
render the names/keys/labels of columns that are referenced
by a :class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint`.
* ``%(constraint_name)s`` - a special key that refers to the
existing name given to the constraint. When this key is
present, the :class:`.Constraint` object's existing name will be
replaced with one that is composed from template string that
uses this token. When this token is present, it is required that
the :class:`.Constraint` is given an explicit name ahead of time.
* user-defined: any additional token may be implemented by passing
it along with a ``fn(constraint, table)`` callable to the
naming_convention dictionary.
.. versionadded:: 1.3.0 - added new ``%(column_0N_name)s``,
``%(column_0_N_name)s``, and related tokens that produce
concatenations of names, keys, or labels for all columns referred
to by a given constraint.
