For full interaction with a connected database, use the "bind" available from the context:: from alembic import op connection = op.get_bind() Also note that any parameterized statement here *will not work* in offline mode - INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements which refer to literal values would need to render inline expressions. For simple use cases, the :meth:`.inline_literal` function can be used for **rudimentary** quoting of string values. For "bulk" inserts, consider using :meth:`.bulk_insert`. For example, to emit an UPDATE statement which is equally compatible with both online and offline mode:: from sqlalchemy.sql import table, column from sqlalchemy import String from alembic import op account = table('account', column('name', String) ) op.execute( account.update().\\ where(account.c.name==op.inline_literal('account 1')).\\ values({'name':op.inline_literal('account 2')}) ) Note above we also used the SQLAlchemy :func:`sqlalchemy.sql.expression.table` and :func:`sqlalchemy.sql.expression.column` constructs to make a brief, ad-hoc table construct just for our UPDATE statement. A full :class:`~sqlalchemy.schema.Table` construct of course works perfectly fine as well, though note it's a recommended practice to at least ensure the definition of a table is self-contained within the migration script, rather than imported from a module that may break compatibility with older migrations. :param sql: Any legal SQLAlchemy expression, including: * a string * a :func:`sqlalchemy.sql.expression.text` construct. * a :func:`sqlalchemy.sql.expression.insert` construct. * a :func:`sqlalchemy.sql.expression.update`, :func:`sqlalchemy.sql.expression.insert`, or :func:`sqlalchemy.sql.expression.delete` construct. * Pretty much anything that's "executable" as described in :ref:`sqlexpression_toplevel`. :param execution_options: Optional dictionary of execution options, will be passed to :meth:`sqlalchemy.engine.Connection.execution_options`.
