PostgreSQL ILIKE query with SQLAlchemy

flask, flask-sqlalchemy, postgresql, python, sqlalchemy

Solution

I think it should work

Post.query.filter(Post.title.ilike('%some_phrase%'))

http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/orm/internals.html?highlight=ilike#sqlalchemy.orm.attributes.QueryableAttribute.ilike

Problem

I'd like to run a query that selects all posts, case insensitive, that have titles that match `'%' + [some_phrase] + '%'`. That is, select all rows that have titles that contain some phrase, case insensitive. From the research I've done, it looks like I need to use Postgres's ILIKE query for it to match case insensitive. How can I execute a query like this with SQLAlchemy? ``` class Post(db.Model): id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key = True) title = db.Column(db.String(250)) content = db.Column(db.String(5000)) ```
