    <p><strong>Update:</strong> See also the SQLAlchemy usage recipe <a href="https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/sqlalchemy/wiki/UsageRecipes/Views" rel="noreferrer">here</a></p> <p>Creating a (read-only non-materialized) view is not supported out of the box as far as I know. But adding this functionality in SQLAlchemy 0.7 is straightforward (similar to the example I gave <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/9597404/92092">here</a>). You just have to write a <a href="http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/core/compiler.html" rel="noreferrer">compiler extension</a> <code>CreateView</code>. With this extension, you can then write (assuming that <code>t</code> is a table object with a column <code>id</code>)</p> <pre><code>createview = CreateView('viewname', t.select().where(t.c.id&gt;5)) engine.execute(createview) v = Table('viewname', metadata, autoload=True) for r in engine.execute(v.select()): print r </code></pre> <p>Here is a working example:</p> <pre><code>from sqlalchemy import Table from sqlalchemy.ext.compiler import compiles from sqlalchemy.sql.expression import Executable, ClauseElement class CreateView(Executable, ClauseElement): def __init__(self, name, select): self.name = name self.select = select @compiles(CreateView) def visit_create_view(element, compiler, **kw): return "CREATE VIEW %s AS %s" % ( element.name, compiler.process(element.select, literal_binds=True) ) # test data from sqlalchemy import MetaData, Column, Integer from sqlalchemy.engine import create_engine engine = create_engine('sqlite://') metadata = MetaData(engine) t = Table('t', metadata, Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True), Column('number', Integer)) t.create() engine.execute(t.insert().values(id=1, number=3)) engine.execute(t.insert().values(id=9, number=-3)) # create view createview = CreateView('viewname', t.select().where(t.c.id&gt;5)) engine.execute(createview) # reflect view and print result v = Table('viewname', metadata, autoload=True) for r in engine.execute(v.select()): print r </code></pre> <p>If you want, you can also specialize for a dialect, e.g.</p> <pre><code>@compiles(CreateView, 'sqlite') def visit_create_view(element, compiler, **kw): return "CREATE VIEW IF NOT EXISTS %s AS %s" % ( element.name, compiler.process(element.select, literal_binds=True) ) </code></pre>

    1. COCan I use map v with orm.mapper? like `v = Table('viewname', metadata, autoload=True) class ViewName(object): def __init__(self, name): self.name = name mapper(ViewName, v) ` Above is possible? Because I will use View with session.

    2. CO@SyedHabibM: yes, this is possible. You have to manually set the primary key, though, something like `orm.mapper(ViewName, v, primary_key=pk, properties=prop)` where `pk` and `prop` are your primary key (or keys) and properties respectively. See http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/orm/mapper_config.html#sqlalchemy.orm.mapper.

    3. CO@SyedHabibM: you can do what *stephan* mentioned also when you use autoloaded tables by overriding a column specification and specify a PK: `v = Table('viewname', metadata, Column('my_id_column', Integer, primary_key=True), autoload=True)`

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
