It's not obvious how to make SQL with nested queries with own WHERE in Norm. One of design goals of sqlbind was an ability to write complete high level structure of a big query. And to eliminate `if` statements as much as possible. Norm: def get_users(cursor, user_ids, only_girls=False, minimum_age=0): s = (SELECT('first_name', 'age') .FROM('people') .WHERE('user_ids IN :user_ids') # doesn't work in sqlite .bind(user_ids=user_ids)) if only_girls: s = s.WHERE(gender='f') if minimum_age: s = (s.WHERE('age >= :minimum_age') .bind(minimum_age=minimum_age)) return cursor.run_query(s) VS sqlbind: def get_users(cursor, user_ids, only_girls=False, minimum_age=0): q = QParams() filters = [ q.user_ids.IN(user_ids), # renders into FALSE if user_ids are empty and supports SQlite. q.cond(only_girls, "gender = 'f'"), q.age >= truthy/minimum_age, ] sql = f'''\ SELECT first_name, age FROM people {WHERE(*filters)} ''' return cursor.execute(sql, q)
