        columns as that of the two individual selectables presented under
        a single name - the individual columns are "auto-labeled", meaning
        the ``.c.`` collection of the resulting :class:`.Alias` represents
        the names of the individual columns using a
        ``<tablename>_<columname>`` scheme::

            j.c.table_a_id
            j.c.table_b_a_id

        :meth:`.Join.alias` also features an alternate
        option for aliasing joins which produces no enclosing SELECT and
        does not normally apply labels to the column names.  The
        ``flat=True`` option will call :meth:`.FromClause.alias`
        against the left and right sides individually.
        Using this option, no new ``SELECT`` is produced;
        we instead, from a construct as below::

            j = table_a.join(table_b, table_a.c.id == table_b.c.a_id)
            j = j.alias(flat=True)

        we get a result like this::

            table_a AS table_a_1 JOIN table_b AS table_b_1 ON
            table_a_1.id = table_b_1.a_id

        The ``flat=True`` argument is also propagated to the contained
        selectables, so that a composite join such as::

            j = table_a.join(
                    table_b.join(table_c,
                            table_b.c.id == table_c.c.b_id),
                    table_b.c.a_id == table_a.c.id
                ).alias(flat=True)

        Will produce an expression like::

            table_a AS table_a_1 JOIN (
                    table_b AS table_b_1 JOIN table_c AS table_c_1
                    ON table_b_1.id = table_c_1.b_id
            ) ON table_a_1.id = table_b_1.a_id

        The standalone :func:`~.expression.alias` function as well as the
        base :meth:`.FromClause.alias` method also support the ``flat=True``
        argument as a no-op, so that the argument can be passed to the
        ``alias()`` method of any selectable.

        .. versionadded:: 0.9.0 Added the ``flat=True`` option to create
          "aliases" of joins without enclosing inside of a SELECT

        Common table expressions are a SQL standard whereby SELECT
        statements can draw upon secondary statements specified along
        with the primary statement, using a clause called "WITH".
        Special semantics regarding UNION can also be employed to
        allow "recursive" queries, where a SELECT statement can draw
        upon the set of rows that have previously been selected.

        CTEs can also be applied to DML constructs UPDATE, INSERT
        and DELETE on some databases, both as a source of CTE rows
        when combined with RETURNING, as well as a consumer of
        CTE rows.

        SQLAlchemy detects :class:`.CTE` objects, which are treated
        similarly to :class:`.Alias` objects, as special elements
        to be delivered to the FROM clause of the statement as well
        as to a WITH clause at the top of the statement.

         compile time.
        :param recursive: if ``True``, will render ``WITH RECURSIVE``.
         A recursive common table expression is intended to be used in
         conjunction with UNION ALL in order to derive rows
         from those already selected.

          ``FROM`` clause of the resulting statement.  This is equivalent
          to calling :meth:`.Select.select_from` using method chaining on
          an existing :class:`.Select` object.

          .. seealso::

            :meth:`.Select.select_from` - full description of explicit
            FROM clause specification.

        :param autocommit: legacy autocommit parameter.

        :param bind=None:
          an :class:`~.Engine` or :class:`~.Connection` instance
          to which the
          resulting :class:`.Select` object will be bound.  The
          :class:`.Select` object will otherwise automatically bind to
          whatever :class:`~.base.Connectable` instances can be located within
          its contained :class:`.ClauseElement` members.

        :param correlate=True:
          indicates that this :class:`.Select` object should have its
          contained :class:`.FromClause` elements "correlated" to an enclosing
          :class:`.Select` object.  It is typically preferable to specify
          correlations on an existing :class:`.Select` construct using
          :meth:`.Select.correlate`.

          .. seealso::

            :meth:`.Select.correlate` - full description of correlation.

        :param distinct=False:
          when ``True``, applies a ``DISTINCT`` qualifier to the columns
          clause of the resulting statement.

          The boolean argument may also be a column expression or list
          of column expressions - this is a special calling form which
          is understood by the PostgreSQL dialect to render the
          ``DISTINCT ON (<columns>)`` syntax.

          ``distinct`` is also available on an existing :class:`.Select`
          object via the :meth:`~.Select.distinct` method.

          .. seealso::

            :meth:`.Select.distinct`

        :param for_update=False:
          when ``True``, applies ``FOR UPDATE`` to the end of the
          resulting statement.

          ``for_update`` accepts various string values interpreted by
          specific backends, including:

          * ``"read"`` - on MySQL, translates to ``LOCK IN SHARE MODE``;
            on PostgreSQL, translates to ``FOR SHARE``.
          * ``"nowait"`` - on PostgreSQL and Oracle, translates to
            ``FOR UPDATE NOWAIT``.
          * ``"read_nowait"`` - on PostgreSQL, translates to
            ``FOR SHARE NOWAIT``.

         .. seealso::

            :meth:`.Select.with_for_update` - improved API for
            specifying the ``FOR UPDATE`` clause.

        :param group_by:
          a list of :class:`.ClauseElement` objects which will comprise the
          ``GROUP BY`` clause of the resulting select.  This parameter
          is typically specified more naturally using the
          :meth:`.Select.group_by` method on an existing :class:`.Select`.

          .. seealso::

            :meth:`.Select.group_by`

        :param having:
          a :class:`.ClauseElement` that will comprise the ``HAVING`` clause
          of the resulting select when ``GROUP BY`` is used.  This parameter
          is typically specified more naturally using the
          :meth:`.Select.having` method on an existing :class:`.Select`.

          .. seealso::

            :meth:`.Select.having`

        :param limit=None:
          a numerical value which usually renders as a ``LIMIT``
          expression in the resulting select.  Backends that don't
          support ``LIMIT`` will attempt to provide similar
          functionality.    This parameter is typically specified more
          naturally using the :meth:`.Select.limit` method on an existing
          :class:`.Select`.

          .. seealso::

            :meth:`.Select.limit`

        :param offset=None:
          a numeric value which usually renders as an ``OFFSET``
          expression in the resulting select.  Backends that don't
          support ``OFFSET`` will attempt to provide similar
          functionality.  This parameter is typically specified more naturally
          using the :meth:`.Select.offset` method on an existing
          :class:`.Select`.

          .. seealso::

            :meth:`.Select.offset`

        :param order_by:
          a scalar or list of :class:`.ClauseElement` objects which will
          comprise the ``ORDER BY`` clause of the resulting select.
          This parameter is typically specified more naturally using the
          :meth:`.Select.order_by` method on an existing :class:`.Select`.

          .. seealso::

            :meth:`.Select.order_by`

        :param use_labels=False:
          when ``True``, the statement will be generated using labels
          for each column in the columns clause, which qualify each
          column with its parent table's (or aliases) name so that name
          conflicts between columns in different tables don't occur.
          The format of the label is <tablename>_<column>.  The "c"
          collection of the resulting :class:`.Select` object will use these
          names as well for targeting column members.

          This parameter can also be specified on an existing
          :class:`.Select` object using the :meth:`.Select.apply_labels`
          method.

        This method is exactly equivalent to as if the original
        :func:`.select` had been called with the given columns
        clause.   I.e. a statement::

            s = select([table1.c.a, table1.c.b])
            s = s.with_only_columns([table1.c.b])

        should be exactly equivalent to::

            s = select([table1.c.b])

        This means that FROM clauses which are only derived
        from the column list will be discarded if the new column
        list no longer contains that FROM::

            >>> table1 = table('t1', column('a'), column('b'))
            >>> table2 = table('t2', column('a'), column('b'))
            >>> s1 = select([table1.c.a, table2.c.b])
            >>> print s1
            SELECT t1.a, t2.b FROM t1, t2
            >>> s2 = s1.with_only_columns([table2.c.b])
            >>> print s2
            SELECT t2.b FROM t1

        The preferred way to maintain a specific FROM clause
        in the construct, assuming it won't be represented anywhere
        else (i.e. not in the WHERE clause, etc.) is to set it using
        :meth:`.Select.select_from`::

            >>> s1 = select([table1.c.a, table2.c.b]).\
            ...         select_from(table1.join(table2,
            ...                 table1.c.a==table2.c.a))
            >>> s2 = s1.with_only_columns([table2.c.b])
            >>> print s2
            SELECT t2.b FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t1.a=t2.a

        Care should also be taken to use the correct
        set of column objects passed to :meth:`.Select.with_only_columns`.
        Since the method is essentially equivalent to calling the
        :func:`.select` construct in the first place with the given
        columns, the columns passed to :meth:`.Select.with_only_columns`
        should usually be a subset of those which were passed
        to the :func:`.select` construct, not those which are available
        from the ``.c`` collection of that :func:`.select`.  That
        is::

            s = select([table1.c.a, table1.c.b]).select_from(table1)
            s = s.with_only_columns([table1.c.b])

        and **not**::

            # usually incorrect
            s = s.with_only_columns([s.c.b])

        The latter would produce the SQL::

            SELECT b
            FROM (SELECT t1.a AS a, t1.b AS b
            FROM t1), t1

        Since the :func:`.select` construct is essentially being
        asked to select both from ``table1`` as well as itself.

        at least one WHERE/ORDER BY/HAVING/columns clause in order for
        correlation to take place.
