"""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.

        :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:`_schema.Table`
            within
            the owning :class:`_schema.MetaData` collection.
            Additional calls to :class:`_schema.Table` with the same name,
            metadata,
            and schema name will return the same :class:`_schema.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:`_schema.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:`.Connection` or :class:`.Engine`.

        :param \*args: Additional positional arguments are used primarily
            to add the list of :class:`_schema.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:`_schema.ForeignKeyConstraint`.

        :param autoload_replace: Defaults to ``True``; when using
            :paramref:`_schema.Table.autoload_with`
            in conjunction with :paramref:`_schema.Table.extend_existing`,
            indicates
            that :class:`_schema.Column` objects present in the already-existing
            :class:`_schema.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:`_schema.Column` objects
            specified programmatically within the call to :class:`_schema.Table`
            that
            also is autoloading; those :class:`_schema.Column` objects will always
            replace existing columns of the same name when
            :paramref:`_schema.Table.extend_existing` is ``True``.

            :func:`_sa.inspect`
            against one, with which this :class:`_schema.Table`
            object will be reflected.
            When set to a non-None value, the autoload process will take place
            for this table against the given engine or connection.

        :param extend_existing: When ``True``, indicates that if this
            :class:`_schema.Table` is already present in the given
            :class:`_schema.MetaData`,
            apply further arguments within the constructor to the existing

            and the given name
            of the new :class:`_schema.Table` refers to a :class:`_schema.Table`
            that is
            already present in the target :class:`_schema.MetaData` collection,
            and
            this :class:`_schema.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:`_schema.Table`
            is specified that matches an existing :class:`_schema.Table`,
            yet specifies
            additional constructs.

            :paramref:`_schema.Table.extend_existing`
            will also work in conjunction
            with :paramref:`_schema.Table.autoload_with` to run a new reflection
            operation against the database, even if a :class:`_schema.Table`
            of the same name is already present in the target
            :class:`_schema.MetaData`; newly reflected :class:`_schema.Column`
            objects
            and other options will be added into the state of the
            :class:`_schema.Table`, potentially overwriting existing columns
            and options of the same name.

            As is always the case with :paramref:`_schema.Table.autoload_with`,
            :class:`_schema.Column` objects can be specified in the same
            :class:`_schema.Table`
            constructor, which will take precedence.  Below, the existing
            table ``mytable`` will be augmented with :class:`_schema.Column`
            objects
            both reflected from the database, as well as the given
            :class:`_schema.Column`
            named "y"::

                Table("mytable", metadata,
                            Column('y', Integer),
                            extend_existing=True,
                            autoload_with=engine
                        )

                :paramref:`_schema.Table.keep_existing`


        :param implicit_returning: True by default - indicates that
            RETURNING can be used, typically by the ORM, in order to fetch
            server-generated values such as primary key values and
            server side defaults, on those backends which support RETURNING.

            In modern SQLAlchemy there is generally no reason to alter this
            setting, except for some backend specific cases
            (see :ref:`mssql_triggers` in the SQL Server dialect documentation
            for one such example).

        :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:`_schema.Table`
            objects
            related to this one via :class:`_schema.ForeignKey` objects, when
            :paramref:`_schema.Table.autoload_with` is
            specified.   Defaults to True.  Set to False to disable reflection of
            related tables as :class:`_schema.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:`_schema.MetaData` collection, or becomes present later,
            a
            :class:`_schema.ForeignKey` object associated with this
            :class:`_schema.Table` will
            resolve to that table normally.

        :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:`_schema.MetaData`, ignore
            further arguments within the constructor to the existing
            :class:`_schema.Table`, and return the :class:`_schema.Table`
            object as
            originally created. This is to allow a function that wishes
            to define a new :class:`_schema.Table` on first call, but on
            subsequent calls will return the same :class:`_schema.Table`,
            without any of the declarations (particularly constraints)
            being applied a second time.

            If :paramref:`_schema.Table.extend_existing` or
            :paramref:`_schema.Table.keep_existing` are not set,
            and the given name
            of the new :class:`_schema.Table` refers to a :class:`_schema.Table`
            that is
            already present in the target :class:`_schema.MetaData` collection,
            and
            this :class:`_schema.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:`_schema.Table`
            is specified that matches an existing :class:`_schema.Table`,
            yet specifies
            additional constructs.

            .. seealso::

                :paramref:`_schema.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:`_schema.Table` before
            the "autoload" process begins.  Historically this has been intended
            for use with the :meth:`.DDLEvents.column_reflect` event, however
            note that this event hook may now be associated with the
            :class:`_schema.MetaData` object directly::

                def listen_for_reflect(table, column_info):
                    "handle the column reflection event"
                    # ...

                t = Table(
                    'sometable',
                    autoload_with=engine,
                    listeners=[
                        ('column_reflect', listen_for_reflect)
                    ])

            .. seealso::

                :meth:`_events.DDLEvents.column_reflect`

        :param must_exist: When ``True``, indicates that this Table must already
            be present in the given :class:`_schema.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.

            .. note:: setting this flag to ``False`` will not provide
              case-insensitive behavior for table reflection; table reflection
              will always search for a mixed-case name in a case sensitive
              fashion.  Case insensitive names are specified in SQLAlchemy only
              by stating the name with all lower case characters.

        :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:`_schema.MetaData` of this :class:`_schema.Table`
            specifies its
            own :paramref:`_schema.MetaData.schema` parameter,
            then that schema name will
            be applied to this :class:`_schema.Table`
            if the schema parameter here is set
            to ``None``.  To set a blank schema name on a :class:`_schema.Table`
            that
            would otherwise use the schema set on the owning
            :class:`_schema.MetaData`,
            specify the special symbol :attr:`.BLANK_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 comment: Optional string that will render an SQL comment on table
            creation.

            .. versionadded:: 1.2 Added the :paramref:`_schema.Table.comment`
                parameter
                to :class:`_schema.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

        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:`_schema.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:`_schema.Column` is made to refer to another column using
          :class:`_schema.ForeignKey` and/or
          :class:`_schema.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:`_schema.Column` object.

        :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:`_schema.ForeignKey`,
          :class:`.ColumnDefault`, :class:`.Sequence`, :class:`.Computed`
          :class:`.Identity`.  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 with no foreign key dependencies**
          (see later in this docstring for a more specific definition).
          This may influence the :term:`DDL` that will be emitted for
          this column during a table create, as well as how the column
          will be considered when INSERT statements are compiled and
          executed.

          The default value is the string ``"auto"``,
          which indicates that a single-column (i.e. non-composite) primary key
          that is of an INTEGER type with no other client-side or server-side
          default constructs indicated should receive auto increment semantics
          automatically. Other values include ``True`` (force this column to
          have auto-increment semantics for a :term:`composite primary key` as
          well), ``False`` (this column should never have auto-increment
          semantics), and the string ``"ignore_fk"`` (special-case for foreign
          key columns, see below).

          The term "auto increment semantics" refers both to the kind of DDL
          that will be emitted for the column within a CREATE TABLE statement,
          when methods such as :meth:`.MetaData.create_all` and
          :meth:`.Table.create` are invoked, as well as how the column will be
          considered when an INSERT statement is compiled and emitted to the
          database:

          * **DDL rendering** (i.e. :meth:`.MetaData.create_all`,
            :meth:`.Table.create`): When used on a :class:`.Column` that has
            no other
            default-generating construct associated with it (such as a
            :class:`.Sequence` or :class:`.Identity` construct), the parameter
            will imply that database-specific keywords such as PostgreSQL
            ``SERIAL``, MySQL ``AUTO_INCREMENT``, or ``IDENTITY`` on SQL Server
            should also be rendered.  Not every database backend has an
            "implied" default generator available; for example the Oracle
            backend always needs an explicit construct such as
            :class:`.Identity` to be included with a :class:`.Column` in order
            for the DDL rendered to include auto-generating constructs to also
            be produced in the database.

          * **INSERT semantics** (i.e. when a :func:`_sql.insert` construct is
            compiled into a SQL string and is then executed on a database using
            :meth:`_engine.Connection.execute` or equivalent): A single-row
            INSERT statement will be known to produce a new integer primary key
            value automatically for this column, which will be accessible
            after the statement is invoked via the
            :attr:`.CursorResult.inserted_primary_key` attribute upon the
            :class:`_result.Result` object.   This also applies towards use of the
            ORM when ORM-mapped objects are persisted to the database,
            indicating that a new integer primary key will be available to
            become part of the :term:`identity key` for that object.  This
            behavior takes place regardless of what DDL constructs are
            associated with the :class:`_schema.Column` and is independent
            of the "DDL Rendering" behavior discussed in the previous note
            above.

          The parameter may be set to ``True`` to indicate that a column which
          is part of a composite (i.e. 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.

          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:`_schema.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 effects on columns that meet the
          above criteria:

          * DDL issued for the column, if the column does not already include
            a default generating construct supported by the backend such as
            :class:`.Identity`, will include database-specific
            keywords intended to signify this column as an
            "autoincrement" column for specific backends.   Behavior for
            primary SQLAlchemy dialects includes:

            * AUTO INCREMENT on MySQL and MariaDB
            * SERIAL on PostgreSQL
            * IDENTITY on MS-SQL - this occurs even without the
              :class:`.Identity` construct as the
              :paramref:`.Column.autoincrement` parameter pre-dates this
              construct.
            * SQLite - SQLite integer primary key columns are implicitly
              "auto incrementing" and no additional keywords are rendered;
              to render the special SQLite keyword ``AUTOINCREMENT``
              is not included as this is unnecessary and not recommended
              by the database vendor.  See the section
              :ref:`sqlite_autoincrement` for more background.
            * Oracle - The Oracle dialect has no default "autoincrement"
              feature available at this time, instead the :class:`.Identity`
              construct is recommended to achieve this (the :class:`.Sequence`
              construct may also be used).
            * Third-party dialects - consult those dialects' documentation
              for details on their specific behaviors.

          * When a single-row :func:`_sql.insert` construct is compiled and
            executed, which does not set the :meth:`_sql.Insert.inline`
            modifier, newly generated primary key values for this column
            will be automatically retrieved upon statement execution
            using a method specific to the database driver in use:

            * MySQL, SQLite - calling upon ``cursor.lastrowid()``
              (see
              `https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/#lastrowid
              <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/#lastrowid>`_)
            * PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle - use RETURNING or an equivalent
              construct when rendering an INSERT statement, and then retrieving
              the newly generated primary key values after execution
            * PostgreSQL, Oracle for :class:`_schema.Table` objects that
              set :paramref:`_schema.Table.implicit_returning` to False -
              for a :class:`.Sequence` only, the :class:`.Sequence` is invoked
              explicitly before the INSERT statement takes place so that the
              newly generated primary key value is available to the client
            * SQL Server for :class:`_schema.Table` objects that
              set :paramref:`_schema.Table.implicit_returning` to False -
              the ``SELECT scope_identity()`` construct is used after the
              INSERT statement is invoked to retrieve the newly generated
              primary key value.
            * Third-party dialects - consult those dialects' documentation
              for details on their specific behaviors.

          * For multiple-row :func:`_sql.insert` constructs invoked with
            a list of parameters (i.e. "executemany" semantics), primary-key
            retrieving behaviors are generally disabled, however there may
            be special APIs that may be used to retrieve lists of new
            primary key values for an "executemany", such as the psycopg2
            "fast insertmany" feature.  Such features are very new and
            may not yet be well covered in documentation.

        :param default: A scalar, Python callable, or
            :class:`_expression.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:`_schema.Column.server_default`
            which creates a default generator on the database side.

            .. seealso::

                :ref:`metadata_defaults_toplevel`

        :param insert_default: An alias of :paramref:`.Column.default`
            for compatibility with :func:`_orm.mapped_column`.

            .. versionadded: 2.0.31

        :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:`_schema.Column.comment`
            parameter for this purpose.

        :param key: An optional string identifier which will identify this
            ``Column`` object on the :class:`_schema.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 a :class:`_schema.Index`
            construct will be automatically generated for this
            :class:`_schema.Column`, which will result in a "CREATE INDEX"
            statement being emitted for the :class:`_schema.Table` when the DDL
            create operation is invoked.

            Using this flag is equivalent to making use of the
            :class:`_schema.Index` construct explicitly at the level of the
            :class:`_schema.Table` construct itself::

                Table(
                    "some_table",
                    metadata,
                    Column("x", Integer),
                    Index("ix_some_table_x", "x")
                )

            To add the :paramref:`_schema.Index.unique` flag to the
            :class:`_schema.Index`, set both the
            :paramref:`_schema.Column.unique` and
            :paramref:`_schema.Column.index` flags to True simultaneously,
            which will have the effect of rendering the "CREATE UNIQUE INDEX"
            DDL instruction instead of "CREATE INDEX".

            The name of the index is generated using the
            :ref:`default naming convention <constraint_default_naming_convention>`
            which for the :class:`_schema.Index` construct is of the form
            ``ix_<tablename>_<columnname>``.

            As this flag is intended only as a convenience for the common case
            of adding a single-column, default configured index to a table
            definition, explicit use of the :class:`_schema.Index` construct
            should be preferred for most use cases, including composite indexes
            that encompass more than one column, indexes with SQL expressions
            or ordering, backend-specific index configuration options, and
            indexes that use a specific name.

            .. note:: the :attr:`_schema.Column.index` attribute on
               :class:`_schema.Column`
               **does not indicate** if this column is indexed or not, only
               if this flag was explicitly set here.  To view indexes on
               a column, view the :attr:`_schema.Table.indexes` collection
               or use :meth:`_reflection.Inspector.get_indexes`.

            .. seealso::

                :ref:`schema_indexes`

                :ref:`constraint_naming_conventions`

                :paramref:`_schema.Column.unique`

        :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:`_schema.Column.primary_key`
            is also ``True`` or the column specifies a :class:`_sql.Identity`,
            in which case it defaults to ``False``.
            This parameter is only used when issuing CREATE TABLE statements.

            .. note::

                When the column specifies a :class:`_sql.Identity` this
                parameter is in general ignored by the DDL compiler. The
                PostgreSQL database allows nullable identity column by
                setting this parameter to ``True`` explicitly.

        :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:`_schema.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.

            This parameter can also accept complex combinations of contextually
            valid SQLAlchemy expressions or constructs::

                from sqlalchemy import create_engine
                from sqlalchemy import Table, Column, MetaData, ARRAY, Text
                from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql import array

                engine = create_engine(
                    'postgresql+psycopg2://scott:tiger@localhost/mydatabase'
                )
                metadata_obj = MetaData()
                tbl = Table(
                        "foo",
                        metadata_obj,
                        Column("bar",
                               ARRAY(Text),
                               server_default=array(["biz", "bang", "bash"])
                               )
                )
                metadata_obj.create_all(engine)

            The above results in a table created with the following SQL::

                CREATE TABLE foo (
                    bar TEXT[] DEFAULT ARRAY['biz', 'bang', 'bash']
                )

            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.


            .. warning:: This directive **does not** currently produce MySQL's
               "ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()" clause.  See
               :ref:`mysql_timestamp_onupdate` for background on how to
               produce this clause.

            .. 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``, and the :paramref:`_schema.Column.index`
            parameter is left at its default value of ``False``,
            indicates that a :class:`_schema.UniqueConstraint`
            construct will be automatically generated for this
            :class:`_schema.Column`,
            which will result in a "UNIQUE CONSTRAINT" clause referring
            to this column being included
            in the ``CREATE TABLE`` statement emitted, when the DDL create
            operation for the :class:`_schema.Table` object is invoked.

            When this flag is ``True`` while the
            :paramref:`_schema.Column.index` parameter is simultaneously
            set to ``True``, the effect instead is that a
            :class:`_schema.Index` construct which includes the
            :paramref:`_schema.Index.unique` parameter set to ``True``
            is generated.  See the documentation for
            :paramref:`_schema.Column.index` for additional detail.

            Using this flag is equivalent to making use of the
            :class:`_schema.UniqueConstraint` construct explicitly at the
            level of the :class:`_schema.Table` construct itself::

                Table(
                    "some_table",
                    metadata,
                    Column("x", Integer),
                    UniqueConstraint("x")
                )

            The :paramref:`_schema.UniqueConstraint.name` parameter
            of the unique constraint object is left at its default value
            of ``None``; in the absence of a :ref:`naming convention <constraint_naming_conventions>`
            for the enclosing :class:`_schema.MetaData`, the UNIQUE CONSTRAINT
            construct will be emitted as unnamed, which typically invokes
            a database-specific naming convention to take place.

            As this flag is intended only as a convenience for the common case
            of adding a single-column, default configured unique constraint to a table
            definition, explicit use of the :class:`_schema.UniqueConstraint` construct
            should be preferred for most use cases, including composite constraints
            that encompass more than one column, backend-specific index configuration options, and
            constraints that use a specific name.

            .. note:: the :attr:`_schema.Column.unique` attribute on
                :class:`_schema.Column`
                **does not indicate** if this column has a unique constraint or
                not, only if this flag was explicitly set here.  To view
                indexes and unique constraints that may involve this column,
                view the
                :attr:`_schema.Table.indexes` and/or
                :attr:`_schema.Table.constraints` collections or use
                :meth:`_reflection.Inspector.get_indexes` and/or
                :meth:`_reflection.Inspector.get_unique_constraints`

                :paramref:`_schema.Column.index`

        :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.

         ordering using Oracle RAC.

         that is associated with a :class:`_schema.MetaData`
         gains the following
         capabilities:

         * The :class:`.Sequence` will inherit the
           :paramref:`_schema.MetaData.schema`
           parameter specified to the target :class:`_schema.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:`_schema.MetaData`
           object, if any.

         * The :meth:`_schema.MetaData.create_all` and
           :meth:`_schema.MetaData.drop_all`
           methods will emit CREATE / DROP for this :class:`.Sequence`,
           even if the :class:`.Sequence` is not associated with any
           :class:`_schema.Table` / :class:`_schema.Column`
           that's a member of this
           :class:`_schema.MetaData`.

         The above behaviors can only occur if the :class:`.Sequence` is
         explicitly associated with the :class:`_schema.MetaData`
         via this parameter.

class PrimaryKeyConstraint(ColumnCollectionConstraint):

    The :class:`.PrimaryKeyConstraint` object is present automatically
    on any :class:`_schema.Table` object; it is assigned a set of
    :class:`_schema.Column` objects corresponding to those marked with
    the :paramref:`_schema.Column.primary_key` flag::

        >>> my_table = Table('mytable', metadata,
        ...                 Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True),
        ...                 Column('version_id', Integer, primary_key=True),
        ...                 Column('data', String(50))
        ...     )
        >>> my_table.primary_key
        PrimaryKeyConstraint(
            Column('id', Integer(), table=<mytable>,
                   primary_key=True, nullable=False),
            Column('version_id', Integer(), table=<mytable>,
                   primary_key=True, nullable=False)
        )

    The primary key of a :class:`_schema.Table` can also be specified by using
    a :class:`.PrimaryKeyConstraint` object explicitly; in this mode of usage,
    the "name" of the constraint can also be specified, as well as other
    options which may be recognized by dialects::

        my_table = Table('mytable', metadata,
                    Column('id', Integer),
                    Column('version_id', Integer),
                    Column('data', String(50)),
                    PrimaryKeyConstraint('id', 'version_id',
                                         name='mytable_pk')
                )

    The two styles of column-specification should generally not be mixed.
    An warning is emitted if the columns present in the
    :class:`.PrimaryKeyConstraint`
    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
    :class:`.PrimaryKeyConstraint` declaration, and those columns otherwise
    marked as ``primary_key=True`` are ignored.  This behavior is intended to
    be backwards compatible with previous behavior.

    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
    primary key column collection from the :class:`_schema.Table` based on the
    flags::

        my_table = Table('mytable', metadata,
                    Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True),
                    Column('version_id', Integer, primary_key=True),
                    Column('data', String(50)),
                    PrimaryKeyConstraint(name='mytable_pk',
                                         mssql_clustered=True)

    For a no-frills, single column index, adding

    For a composite index, multiple columns can be specified::

        Index("some_index", sometable.c.name, sometable.c.address)

    Functional indexes are supported as well, typically by using the
    :data:`.func` construct in conjunction with table-bound
    :class:`_schema.Column` objects::

        Index("some_index", func.lower(sometable.c.name))

    An :class:`.Index` can also be manually associated with a
    :class:`_schema.Table`,
    either through inline declaration or using
    :meth:`_schema.Table.append_constraint`.  When this approach is used,
    the names
    of the indexed columns can be specified as strings::

        Table("sometable", metadata,
                        Column("name", String(50)),
                        Column("address", String(100)),
                        Index("some_index", "name", "address")
                )

    To support functional or expression-based indexes in this form, the
    :func:`_expression.text` construct may be used::

        from sqlalchemy import text

        Table("sometable", metadata,
                        Column("name", String(50)),
                        Column("address", String(100)),
                        Index("some_index", text("lower(name)"))

          and :class:`.Index` objects, for those objects which are not given

          The keys of this dictionary may be:

          * a constraint or Index class, e.g. the :class:`.UniqueConstraint`,
            :class:`_schema.ForeignKeyConstraint` class, the :class:`.Index`
            class

            ``"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:`_schema.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:`_schema.Table`
              object
              associated with the constraint.

            * ``%(referred_table_name)s`` - the name of the
              :class:`_schema.Table`
              object associated with the referencing target of a
              :class:`_schema.ForeignKeyConstraint`.

            * ``%(column_0_name)s`` - the name of the :class:`_schema.Column`
              at
              index position "0" within the constraint.

            * ``%(column_0N_name)s`` - the name of all :class:`_schema.Column`
              objects in order within the constraint, joined without a
              separator.

            * ``%(column_0_N_name)s`` - the name of all
              :class:`_schema.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:`_schema.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:`_schema.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

              existing name given to the constraint.  When this key is

        .. note::
            MSSQL supports this construct as the preferred alternative to
            generate an IDENTITY on a column, but it uses non standard
            syntax that only support :paramref:`_schema.Identity.start`
            and :paramref:`_schema.Identity.increment`.
            All other parameters are ignored.

        :param always:
          A boolean, that indicates the type of identity column.
          If ``False`` is specified, the default, then the user-specified
          value takes precedence.
          If ``True`` is specified, a user-specified value is not accepted (
          on some backends, like PostgreSQL, OVERRIDING SYSTEM VALUE, or
          similar, may be specified in an INSERT to override the sequence
          value).
          Some backends also have a default value for this parameter,
          ``None`` can be used to omit rendering this part in the DDL. It
          will be treated as ``False`` if a backend does not have a default
          value.

        :param on_null:
          Set to ``True`` to specify ON NULL in conjunction with a
          ``always=False`` identity column. This option is only supported on
          some backends, like Oracle.

        :param start: the starting index of the sequence.
        :param increment: the increment value of the sequence.
        :param minvalue: the minimum value of the sequence.
        :param maxvalue: the maximum value of the sequence.
        :param nominvalue: no minimum value of the sequence.
        :param nomaxvalue: no maximum value of the sequence.
        :param cycle: allows the sequence to wrap around when the maxvalue
         or minvalue has been reached.
        :param cache: optional integer value; number of future values in the
         sequence which are calculated in advance.
        :param order: optional boolean value; if true, renders the
         ORDER keyword.
