Method bindparams

lib/sqlalchemy/sql/elements.py:2588–2716

Establish the values and/or types of bound parameters within this :class:`_expression.TextClause` construct. Given a text construct such as:: from sqlalchemy import text stmt = text( "SELECT id, name FROM user WHERE name=:name AND timestamp=

(
        self,
        *binds: BindParameter[Any],
        **names_to_values: Any,
    )

        """Establish the values and/or types of bound parameters within
        this :class:`_expression.TextClause` construct.

        Given a text construct such as::

            from sqlalchemy import text

            stmt = text(
                "SELECT id, name FROM user WHERE name=:name AND timestamp=:timestamp"
            )

        the :meth:`_expression.TextClause.bindparams`
        method can be used to establish
        the initial value of ``:name`` and ``:timestamp``,
        using simple keyword arguments::

            stmt = stmt.bindparams(
                name="jack", timestamp=datetime.datetime(2012, 10, 8, 15, 12, 5)
            )

        Where above, new :class:`.BindParameter` objects
        will be generated with the names ``name`` and ``timestamp``, and
        values of ``jack`` and ``datetime.datetime(2012, 10, 8, 15, 12, 5)``,
        respectively.  The types will be
        inferred from the values given, in this case :class:`.String` and
        :class:`.DateTime`.

        When specific typing behavior is needed, the positional ``*binds``
        argument can be used in which to specify :func:`.bindparam` constructs
        directly.  These constructs must include at least the ``key``
        argument, then an optional value and type::

            from sqlalchemy import bindparam

            stmt = stmt.bindparams(
                bindparam("name", value="jack", type_=String),
                bindparam("timestamp", type_=DateTime),
            )

        Above, we specified the type of :class:`.DateTime` for the
        ``timestamp`` bind, and the type of :class:`.String` for the ``name``
        bind.  In the case of ``name`` we also set the default value of
        ``"jack"``.

        Additional bound parameters can be supplied at statement execution
        time, e.g.::

            result = connection.execute(
                stmt, timestamp=datetime.datetime(2012, 10, 8, 15, 12, 5)
            )

        The :meth:`_expression.TextClause.bindparams`
        method can be called repeatedly,
