37 The :class:`.HSTORE` type stores dictionaries containing strings, e.g.::
38
39 data_table = Table(
40 "data_table",
41 metadata,
42 Column("id", Integer, primary_key=True),
43 Column("data", HSTORE),

46 with engine.connect() as conn:
47 conn.execute(
48 data_table.insert(), data={"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"}
49 )
50
51 :class:`.HSTORE` provides for a wide range of operations, including:
52
53 * Index operations::
54
55 data_table.c.data["some key"] == "some value"
56
57 * Containment operations::
58
59 data_table.c.data.has_key("some key")
60
61 data_table.c.data.has_all(["one", "two", "three"])
62
63 * Concatenation::
64
65 data_table.c.data + {"k1": "v1"}
66
67 For a full list of special methods see

72 **Detecting Changes in HSTORE columns when using the ORM**
73
74 For usage with the SQLAlchemy ORM, it may be desirable to combine the
75 usage of :class:`.HSTORE` with :class:`.MutableDict` dictionary now
76 part of the :mod:`sqlalchemy.ext.mutable` extension. This extension
77 will allow "in-place" changes to the dictionary, e.g. addition of new
78 keys or replacement/removal of existing keys to/from the current
79 dictionary, to produce events which will be detected by the unit of
80 work::
81
82 from sqlalchemy.ext.mutable import MutableDict
83
84
85 class MyClass(Base):
86 __tablename__ = "data_table"
87
88 id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
89 data = Column(MutableDict.as_mutable(HSTORE))
90
91
92 my_object = session.query(MyClass).one()
93
94 # in-place mutation, requires Mutable extension
95 # in order for the ORM to detect
96 my_object.data["some_key"] = "some value"
97
98 session.commit()
99
100 When the :mod:`sqlalchemy.ext.mutable` extension is not used, the ORM
101 will not be alerted to any changes to the contents of an existing
102 dictionary, unless that dictionary value is re-assigned to the
103 HSTORE-attribute itself, thus generating a change event.
