    :class:`_expression.ColumnElement`
    is the ultimate base class for all such elements.

    A wide variety of SQLAlchemy Core functions work at the SQL expression
    level, and are intended to accept instances of
    :class:`_expression.ColumnElement` as
    arguments.  These functions will typically document that they accept a
    "SQL expression" as an argument.  What this means in terms of SQLAlchemy
    usually refers to an input which is either already in the form of a
    :class:`_expression.ColumnElement` object,
    or a value which can be **coerced** into
    one.  The coercion rules followed by most, but not all, SQLAlchemy Core
    functions with regards to SQL expressions are as follows:

        * a literal Python value, such as a string, integer or floating
          point value, boolean, datetime, ``Decimal`` object, or virtually
          any other Python object, will be coerced into a "literal bound
          value".  This generally means that a :func:`.bindparam` will be
          produced featuring the given value embedded into the construct; the
          resulting :class:`.BindParameter` object is an instance of
          :class:`_expression.ColumnElement`.
          The Python value will ultimately be sent
          to the DBAPI at execution time as a parameterized argument to the
          ``execute()`` or ``executemany()`` methods, after SQLAlchemy
          type-specific converters (e.g. those provided by any associated
          :class:`.TypeEngine` objects) are applied to the value.

        * any special object value, typically ORM-level constructs, which
          feature an accessor called ``__clause_element__()``.  The Core
          expression system looks for this method when an object of otherwise
          unknown type is passed to a function that is looking to coerce the
          argument into a :class:`_expression.ColumnElement` and sometimes a
          :class:`_expression.SelectBase` expression.
          It is used within the ORM to
          convert from ORM-specific objects like mapped classes and
          mapped attributes into Core expression objects.

        * The Python ``None`` value is typically interpreted as ``NULL``,
          which in SQLAlchemy Core produces an instance of :func:`.null`.

    A :class:`_expression.ColumnElement` provides the ability to generate new
    :class:`_expression.ColumnElement`
    objects using Python expressions.  This means that Python operators
    such as ``==``, ``!=`` and ``<`` are overloaded to mimic SQL operations,
    and allow the instantiation of further :class:`_expression.ColumnElement`
    instances
    which are composed from other, more fundamental
    :class:`_expression.ColumnElement`
    objects.  For example, two :class:`.ColumnClause` objects can be added
    together with the addition operator ``+`` to produce
    a :class:`.BinaryExpression`.
    Both :class:`.ColumnClause` and :class:`.BinaryExpression` are subclasses
    of :class:`_expression.ColumnElement`::

        >>> from sqlalchemy.sql import column
        >>> column('a') + column('b')
        <sqlalchemy.sql.expression.BinaryExpression object at 0x101029dd0>
        >>> print(column('a') + column('b'))
        a + b

        The return value is an instance of :class:`.BindParameter`; this
        is a :class:`_expression.ColumnElement`
        subclass which represents a so-called
        "placeholder" value in a SQL expression, the value of which is
        supplied at the point at which the statement in executed against a
        database connection.

        In SQLAlchemy, the :func:`.bindparam` construct has
        the ability to carry along the actual value that will be ultimately
        used at expression time.  In this way, it serves not just as
        a "placeholder" for eventual population, but also as a means of
        representing so-called "unsafe" values which should not be rendered
        directly in a SQL statement, but rather should be passed along
        to the :term:`DBAPI` as values which need to be correctly escaped
        and potentially handled for type-safety.

        When using :func:`.bindparam` explicitly, the use case is typically
        one of traditional deferment of parameters; the :func:`.bindparam`
        construct accepts a name which can then be referred to at execution
        time::

            from sqlalchemy import bindparam

            stmt = select(users_table).\
                        where(users_table.c.name == bindparam('username'))

        The above statement, when rendered, will produce SQL similar to::

            SELECT id, name FROM user WHERE name = :username

        In order to populate the value of ``:username`` above, the value
        would typically be applied at execution time to a method
        like :meth:`_engine.Connection.execute`::

            result = connection.execute(stmt, username='wendy')

        Explicit use of :func:`.bindparam` is also common when producing
        UPDATE or DELETE statements that are to be invoked multiple times,
        where the WHERE criterion of the statement is to change on each
        invocation, such as::

            stmt = (users_table.update().
                    where(user_table.c.name == bindparam('username')).
                    values(fullname=bindparam('fullname'))
                    )

            connection.execute(
                stmt, [{"username": "wendy", "fullname": "Wendy Smith"},
                       {"username": "jack", "fullname": "Jack Jones"},
                       ]
            )

        SQLAlchemy's Core expression system makes wide use of
        :func:`.bindparam` in an implicit sense.   It is typical that Python
        literal values passed to virtually all SQL expression functions are
        coerced into fixed :func:`.bindparam` constructs.  For example, given
        a comparison operation such as::

            expr = users_table.c.name == 'Wendy'

        The above expression will produce a :class:`.BinaryExpression`
        construct, where the left side is the :class:`_schema.Column` object
        representing the ``name`` column, and the right side is a
        :class:`.BindParameter` representing the literal value::

            print(repr(expr.right))
            BindParameter('%(4327771088 name)s', 'Wendy', type_=String())

        The expression above will render SQL such as::

            user.name = :name_1

        Where the ``:name_1`` parameter name is an anonymous name.  The
        actual string ``Wendy`` is not in the rendered string, but is carried
        along where it is later used within statement execution.  If we
        invoke a statement like the following::

            stmt = select(users_table).where(users_table.c.name == 'Wendy')
            result = connection.execute(stmt)

        We would see SQL logging output as::

            SELECT "user".id, "user".name
            FROM "user"
            WHERE "user".name = %(name_1)s
            {'name_1': 'Wendy'}

        Above, we see that ``Wendy`` is passed as a parameter to the database,
        while the placeholder ``:name_1`` is rendered in the appropriate form
        for the target database, in this case the PostgreSQL database.

        Similarly, :func:`.bindparam` is invoked automatically when working
        with :term:`CRUD` statements as far as the "VALUES" portion is
        concerned.   The :func:`_expression.insert` construct produces an
        ``INSERT`` expression which will, at statement execution time, generate
        bound placeholders based on the arguments passed, as in::

            stmt = users_table.insert()
            result = connection.execute(stmt, name='Wendy')

        The above will produce SQL output as::

            INSERT INTO "user" (name) VALUES (%(name)s)
            {'name': 'Wendy'}

        The :class:`_expression.Insert` construct, at
        compilation/execution time, rendered a single :func:`.bindparam`
        mirroring the column name ``name`` as a result of the single ``name``
        parameter we passed to the :meth:`_engine.Connection.execute` method.

        :param key:
          the key (e.g. the name) for this bind param.
          Will be used in the generated
          SQL statement for dialects that use named parameters.  This
          value may be modified when part of a compilation operation,
          if other :class:`BindParameter` objects exist with the same
          key, or if its length is too long and truncation is
          required.

        :param value:
          Initial value for this bind param.  Will be used at statement
          execution time as the value for this parameter passed to the
          DBAPI, if no other value is indicated to the statement execution
          method for this particular parameter name.  Defaults to ``None``.

        :param callable\_:
          A callable function that takes the place of "value".  The function
          will be called at statement execution time to determine the
          ultimate value.   Used for scenarios where the actual bind
          value cannot be determined at the point at which the clause
          construct is created, but embedded bind values are still desirable.

        :param type\_:
          A :class:`.TypeEngine` class or instance representing an optional
          datatype for this :func:`.bindparam`.  If not passed, a type
          may be determined automatically for the bind, based on the given
          value; for example, trivial Python types such as ``str``,
          ``int``, ``bool``
          may result in the :class:`.String`, :class:`.Integer` or
          :class:`.Boolean` types being automatically selected.

          The type of a :func:`.bindparam` is significant especially in that
          the type will apply pre-processing to the value before it is
          passed to the database.  For example, a :func:`.bindparam` which
          refers to a datetime value, and is specified as holding the
          :class:`.DateTime` type, may apply conversion needed to the
          value (such as stringification on SQLite) before passing the value
          to the database.

        :param unique:
          if True, the key name of this :class:`.BindParameter` will be
          modified if another :class:`.BindParameter` of the same name
          already has been located within the containing
          expression.  This flag is used generally by the internals
          when producing so-called "anonymous" bound expressions, it
          isn't generally applicable to explicitly-named :func:`.bindparam`
          constructs.

        :param required:
          If ``True``, a value is required at execution time.  If not passed,
          it defaults to ``True`` if neither :paramref:`.bindparam.value`
          or :paramref:`.bindparam.callable` were passed.  If either of these
          parameters are present, then :paramref:`.bindparam.required`
          defaults to ``False``.

        :param quote:
          True if this parameter name requires quoting and is not
          currently known as a SQLAlchemy reserved word; this currently
          only applies to the Oracle backend, where bound names must
          sometimes be quoted.

        :param isoutparam:
          if True, the parameter should be treated like a stored procedure
          "OUT" parameter.  This applies to backends such as Oracle which
          support OUT parameters.

        :param expanding:
          if True, this parameter will be treated as an "expanding" parameter
          at execution time; the parameter value is expected to be a sequence,
          rather than a scalar value, and the string SQL statement will
          be transformed on a per-execution basis to accommodate the sequence
          with a variable number of parameter slots passed to the DBAPI.
          This is to allow statement caching to be used in conjunction with
          an IN clause.

        :param literal_execute:
          if True, the bound parameter will be rendered in the compile phase
          with a special "POSTCOMPILE" token, and the SQLAlchemy compiler will
          render the final value of the parameter into the SQL statement at
          statement execution time, omitting the value from the parameter
          dictionary / list passed to DBAPI ``cursor.execute()``.  This
          produces a similar effect as that of using the ``literal_binds``,
          compilation flag,  however takes place as the statement is sent to
          the DBAPI ``cursor.execute()`` method, rather than when the statement
          is compiled.   The primary use of this
          capability is for rendering LIMIT / OFFSET clauses for database
          drivers that can't accommodate for bound parameters in these
          contexts, while allowing SQL constructs to be cacheable at the
          compilation level.

            from sqlalchemy import text

            t = text("SELECT * FROM users")
            result = connection.execute(t)

        The advantages :func:`_expression.text`
        provides over a plain string are
        backend-neutral support for bind parameters, per-statement
        execution options, as well as
        bind parameter and result-column typing behavior, allowing
        SQLAlchemy type constructs to play a role when executing
        a statement that is specified literally.  The construct can also
        be provided with a ``.c`` collection of column elements, allowing
        it to be embedded in other SQL expression constructs as a subquery.

        Bind parameters are specified by name, using the format ``:name``.
        E.g.::

            t = text("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id=:user_id")
            result = connection.execute(t, user_id=12)

        For SQL statements where a colon is required verbatim, as within
        an inline string, use a backslash to escape::

            t = text("SELECT * FROM users WHERE name='\:username'")

        The :class:`_expression.TextClause`
        construct includes methods which can
        provide information about the bound parameters as well as the column
        values which would be returned from the textual statement, assuming
        it's an executable SELECT type of statement.  The
        :meth:`_expression.TextClause.bindparams`
        method is used to provide bound
        parameter detail, and :meth:`_expression.TextClause.columns`
        method allows
        specification of return columns including names and types::

            t = text("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id=:user_id").\
                    bindparams(user_id=7).\
                    columns(id=Integer, name=String)

            for id, name in connection.execute(t):
                print(id, name)

        The :func:`_expression.text` construct is used in cases when
        a literal string SQL fragment is specified as part of a larger query,
        such as for the WHERE clause of a SELECT statement::

            s = select(users.c.id, users.c.name).where(text("id=:user_id"))
            result = connection.execute(s, user_id=12)

        :func:`_expression.text` is also used for the construction
        of a full, standalone statement using plain text.
        As such, SQLAlchemy refers
        to it as an :class:`.Executable` object, and it supports
        the :meth:`Executable.execution_options` method.  For example,
        a :func:`_expression.text`
        construct that should be subject to "autocommit"
        can be set explicitly so using the
        :paramref:`.Connection.execution_options.autocommit` option::

            t = text("EXEC my_procedural_thing()").\
                    execution_options(autocommit=True)

        .. deprecated:: 1.4  The "autocommit" execution option is deprecated
           and will be removed in SQLAlchemy 2.0.  See
           :ref:`migration_20_autocommit` for discussion.

        :param text:
          the text of the SQL statement to be created.  Use ``:<param>``
          to specify bind parameters; they will be compiled to their
          engine-specific format.

        :param bind:
          an optional connection or engine to be used for this text query.

        """Establish the values and/or types of bound parameters within
        this :class:`_expression.TextClause` construct.

        Given a text construct such as::

            from sqlalchemy import text
            stmt = text("SELECT id, name FROM user WHERE name=:name "
                        "AND timestamp=:timestamp")

        the :meth:`_expression.TextClause.bindparams`
        method can be used to establish
        the initial value of ``:name`` and ``:timestamp``,
        using simple keyword arguments::

            stmt = stmt.bindparams(name='jack',
                        timestamp=datetime.datetime(2012, 10, 8, 15, 12, 5))

        Where above, new :class:`.BindParameter` objects
        will be generated with the names ``name`` and ``timestamp``, and
        values of ``jack`` and ``datetime.datetime(2012, 10, 8, 15, 12, 5)``,
        respectively.  The types will be
        inferred from the values given, in this case :class:`.String` and
        :class:`.DateTime`.

        When specific typing behavior is needed, the positional ``*binds``
        argument can be used in which to specify :func:`.bindparam` constructs
        directly.  These constructs must include at least the ``key``
        argument, then an optional value and type::

            from sqlalchemy import bindparam
            stmt = stmt.bindparams(
                            bindparam('name', value='jack', type_=String),
                            bindparam('timestamp', type_=DateTime)
                        )

        Above, we specified the type of :class:`.DateTime` for the
        ``timestamp`` bind, and the type of :class:`.String` for the ``name``
        bind.  In the case of ``name`` we also set the default value of
        ``"jack"``.

        Additional bound parameters can be supplied at statement execution
        time, e.g.::

            result = connection.execute(stmt,
                        timestamp=datetime.datetime(2012, 10, 8, 15, 12, 5))

        The :meth:`_expression.TextClause.bindparams`
        method can be called repeatedly,
        where it will re-use existing :class:`.BindParameter` objects to add
        new information.  For example, we can call
        :meth:`_expression.TextClause.bindparams`
        first with typing information, and a
        second time with value information, and it will be combined::

            stmt = text("SELECT id, name FROM user WHERE name=:name "
                        "AND timestamp=:timestamp")
            stmt = stmt.bindparams(
                bindparam('name', type_=String),
                bindparam('timestamp', type_=DateTime)
            )
            stmt = stmt.bindparams(
                name='jack',
                timestamp=datetime.datetime(2012, 10, 8, 15, 12, 5)
            )

        The :meth:`_expression.TextClause.bindparams`
        method also supports the concept of
        **unique** bound parameters.  These are parameters that are
        "uniquified" on name at statement compilation time, so that  multiple
        :func:`_expression.text`
        constructs may be combined together without the names
        conflicting.  To use this feature, specify the
        :paramref:`.BindParameter.unique` flag on each :func:`.bindparam`
        object::

            stmt1 = text("select id from table where name=:name").bindparams(
                bindparam("name", value='name1', unique=True)
            )
            stmt2 = text("select id from table where name=:name").bindparams(
                bindparam("name", value='name2', unique=True)
            )

            union = union_all(
                stmt1.columns(column("id")),
                stmt2.columns(column("id"))
            )

        The above statement will render as::

            select id from table where name=:name_1
            UNION ALL select id from table where name=:name_2

        r"""Turn this :class:`_expression.TextClause` object into a
        :class:`_expression.TextualSelect`
        object that serves the same role as a SELECT
        statement.

        The :class:`_expression.TextualSelect` is part of the
        :class:`_expression.SelectBase`
        hierarchy and can be embedded into another statement by using the
        :meth:`_expression.TextualSelect.subquery` method to produce a
        :class:`.Subquery`
        object, which can then be SELECTed from.

        This function essentially bridges the gap between an entirely
        textual SELECT statement and the SQL expression language concept
        of a "selectable"::

            from sqlalchemy.sql import column, text

            stmt = text("SELECT id, name FROM some_table")
            stmt = stmt.columns(column('id'), column('name')).subquery('st')

            stmt = select(mytable).\
                    select_from(
                        mytable.join(stmt, mytable.c.name == stmt.c.name)
                    ).where(stmt.c.id > 5)

        Above, we pass a series of :func:`_expression.column` elements to the
        :meth:`_expression.TextClause.columns` method positionally.  These
        :func:`_expression.column`
        elements now become first class elements upon the
        :attr:`_expression.TextualSelect.selected_columns` column collection,
        which then
        become part of the :attr:`.Subquery.c` collection after
        :meth:`_expression.TextualSelect.subquery` is invoked.

        The column expressions we pass to
        :meth:`_expression.TextClause.columns` may
        also be typed; when we do so, these :class:`.TypeEngine` objects become
        the effective return type of the column, so that SQLAlchemy's
        result-set-processing systems may be used on the return values.
        This is often needed for types such as date or boolean types, as well
        as for unicode processing on some dialect configurations::

            stmt = text("SELECT id, name, timestamp FROM some_table")
            stmt = stmt.columns(
                        column('id', Integer),
                        column('name', Unicode),
                        column('timestamp', DateTime)
                    )

            for id, name, timestamp in connection.execute(stmt):
                print(id, name, timestamp)

        As a shortcut to the above syntax, keyword arguments referring to
        types alone may be used, if only type conversion is needed::

            stmt = text("SELECT id, name, timestamp FROM some_table")
            stmt = stmt.columns(
                        id=Integer,
                        name=Unicode,
                        timestamp=DateTime
                    )

            for id, name, timestamp in connection.execute(stmt):
                print(id, name, timestamp)

        The positional form of :meth:`_expression.TextClause.columns`
        also provides the
        unique feature of **positional column targeting**, which is
        particularly useful when using the ORM with complex textual queries. If
        we specify the columns from our model to
        :meth:`_expression.TextClause.columns`,
        the result set will match to those columns positionally, meaning the
        name or origin of the column in the textual SQL doesn't matter::

            stmt = text("SELECT users.id, addresses.id, users.id, "
                 "users.name, addresses.email_address AS email "
                 "FROM users JOIN addresses ON users.id=addresses.user_id "
                 "WHERE users.id = 1").columns(
                    User.id,
                    Address.id,
                    Address.user_id,
                    User.name,
                    Address.email_address
                 )

            query = session.query(User).from_statement(stmt).options(
                contains_eager(User.addresses))

        .. versionadded:: 1.1 the :meth:`_expression.TextClause.columns`
           method now
           offers positional column targeting in the result set when
           the column expressions are passed purely positionally.

        The :meth:`_expression.TextClause.columns` method provides a direct
        route to calling :meth:`_expression.FromClause.subquery` as well as
        :meth:`_expression.SelectBase.cte`
        against a textual SELECT statement::

         column-mapped attributes, representing a set of columns that this
         textual string will SELECT from.

        The ``CASE`` construct in SQL is a conditional object that
        acts somewhat analogously to an "if/then" construct in other
        languages.  It returns an instance of :class:`.Case`.

        :func:`.case` in its usual form is passed a series of "when"
        constructs, that is, a list of conditions and results as tuples::

            from sqlalchemy import case

            stmt = select(users_table).\
                        where(

                                (users_table.c.name == 'wendy', 'W'),
                                (users_table.c.name == 'jack', 'J'),
                                else_='E'
                            )
                        )

        The above statement will produce SQL resembling::

            SELECT id, name FROM user
            WHERE CASE
                WHEN (name = :name_1) THEN :param_1
                WHEN (name = :name_2) THEN :param_2
                ELSE :param_3
            END

        When simple equality expressions of several values against a single
        parent column are needed, :func:`.case` also has a "shorthand" format
        used via the
        :paramref:`.case.value` parameter, which is passed a column
        expression to be compared.  In this form, the :paramref:`.case.whens`
        parameter is passed as a dictionary containing expressions to be
        compared against keyed to result expressions.  The statement below is
        equivalent to the preceding statement::

            stmt = select(users_table).\
                        where(
                            case(
                                {"wendy": "W", "jack": "J"},
                                value=users_table.c.name,
                                else_='E'
                            )
                        )

        The values which are accepted as result values in
        :paramref:`.case.whens` as well as with :paramref:`.case.else_` are
        coerced from Python literals into :func:`.bindparam` constructs.
        SQL expressions, e.g. :class:`_expression.ColumnElement` constructs,
        are accepted
        as well.  To coerce a literal string expression into a constant
        expression rendered inline, use the :func:`_expression.literal_column`
        construct,
        as in::

            from sqlalchemy import case, literal_column

            case(
                (
                    orderline.c.qty > 100,
                    literal_column("'greaterthan100'")
                ),
                (
                    orderline.c.qty > 10,
                    literal_column("'greaterthan10'")
                ),
                else_=literal_column("'lessthan10'")
            )

        The above will render the given constants without using bound
        parameters for the result values (but still for the comparison
        values), as in::

            CASE
                WHEN (orderline.qty > :qty_1) THEN 'greaterthan100'
                WHEN (orderline.qty > :qty_2) THEN 'greaterthan10'
                ELSE 'lessthan10'
            END

        :param \*whens: The criteria to be compared against,
         :paramref:`.case.whens` accepts two different forms, based on
         whether or not :paramref:`.case.value` is used.

         .. versionchanged:: 1.4 the :func:`_sql.case`
            function now accepts the series of WHEN conditions positionally;
            passing the expressions within a list is deprecated.

         In the first form, it accepts a list of 2-tuples; each 2-tuple
         consists of ``(<sql expression>, <value>)``, where the SQL
         expression is a boolean expression and "value" is a resulting value,
         e.g.::

            case(
                (users_table.c.name == 'wendy', 'W'),
                (users_table.c.name == 'jack', 'J')
            )

         In the second form, it accepts a Python dictionary of comparison
         values mapped to a resulting value; this form requires
         :paramref:`.case.value` to be present, and values will be compared
         using the ``==`` operator, e.g.::

            case(
                {"wendy": "W", "jack": "J"},
                value=users_table.c.name
            )

        :param value: An optional SQL expression which will be used as a

          result of the ``CASE`` construct if all expressions within

          expressions evaluate to true.

        constructs::

        The text handled by :func:`_expression.column`
        is assumed to be handled
        like the name of a database column; if the string contains mixed case,
        special characters, or matches a known reserved word on the target
        backend, the column expression will render using the quoting
        behavior determined by the backend.  To produce a textual SQL
        expression that is rendered exactly without any quoting,
        use :func:`_expression.literal_column` instead,
        or pass ``True`` as the
        value of :paramref:`_expression.column.is_literal`.   Additionally,
        full SQL
        statements are best handled using the :func:`_expression.text`
        construct.

        :func:`_expression.column` can be used in a table-like
        fashion by combining it with the :func:`.table` function
        (which is the lightweight analogue to :class:`_schema.Table`
        ) to produce
        a working table construct with minimal boilerplate::

            from sqlalchemy import table, column, select

            user = table("user",
                    column("id"),
                    column("name"),
                    column("description"),
            )

            stmt = select(user.c.description).where(user.c.name == 'wendy')

        A :func:`_expression.column` / :func:`.table`
        construct like that illustrated
        above can be created in an
        ad-hoc fashion and is not associated with any
        :class:`_schema.MetaData`, DDL, or events, unlike its
        :class:`_schema.Table` counterpart.

        .. versionchanged:: 1.0.0 :func:`_expression.column` can now
           be imported from the plain ``sqlalchemy`` namespace like any
           other SQL element.

        :param text: the text of the element.

        :param type: :class:`_types.TypeEngine` object which can associate
          this :class:`.ColumnClause` with a type.

        :param is_literal: if True, the :class:`.ColumnClause` is assumed to

    """Represent a SQL identifier combined with quoting preferences.

    :class:`.quoted_name` is a Python unicode/str subclass which
    represents a particular identifier name along with a
    ``quote`` flag.  This ``quote`` flag, when set to
    ``True`` or ``False``, overrides automatic quoting behavior
    for this identifier in order to either unconditionally quote
    or to not quote the name.  If left at its default of ``None``,
    quoting behavior is applied to the identifier on a per-backend basis
    based on an examination of the token itself.

    A :class:`.quoted_name` object with ``quote=True`` is also
    prevented from being modified in the case of a so-called
    "name normalize" option.  Certain database backends, such as
    Oracle, Firebird, and DB2 "normalize" case-insensitive names
    as uppercase.  The SQLAlchemy dialects for these backends
    convert from SQLAlchemy's lower-case-means-insensitive convention
    to the upper-case-means-insensitive conventions of those backends.
    The ``quote=True`` flag here will prevent this conversion from occurring
    to support an identifier that's quoted as all lower case against
    such a backend.

    The :class:`.quoted_name` object is normally created automatically
    when specifying the name for key schema constructs such as
    :class:`_schema.Table`, :class:`_schema.Column`, and others.
    The class can also be
    passed explicitly as the name to any function that receives a name which
    can be quoted.  Such as to use the :meth:`_engine.Engine.has_table`
    method with
    an unconditionally quoted name::

        from sqlalchemy import create_engine
        from sqlalchemy.sql import quoted_name

        engine = create_engine("oracle+cx_oracle://some_dsn")
        engine.has_table(quoted_name("some_table", True))

    The above logic will run the "has table" logic against the Oracle backend,
    passing the name exactly as ``"some_table"`` without converting to
    upper case.

    .. versionadded:: 0.9.0

    .. versionchanged:: 1.2 The :class:`.quoted_name` construct is now
       importable from ``sqlalchemy.sql``, in addition to the previous
       location of ``sqlalchemy.sql.elements``.

    This is a string subclass that indicates a name that should not be

    E.g. when we create a :class:`.Constraint` using a naming convention
    as follows::

        m = MetaData(naming_convention={
            "ck": "ck_%(table_name)s_%(constraint_name)s"

        t = Table('t', m, Column('x', Integer),
                        CheckConstraint('x > 5', name='x5'))

    The name of the above constraint will be rendered as ``"ck_t_x5"``.
    That is, the existing name ``x5`` is used in the naming convention as the
    ``constraint_name`` token.

    In some situations, such as in migration scripts, we may be rendering
    the above :class:`.CheckConstraint` with a name that's already been
    converted.  In order to make sure the name isn't double-modified, the
    new name is applied using the :func:`_schema.conv` marker.  We can
    use this explicitly as follows::


        m = MetaData(naming_convention={
            "ck": "ck_%(table_name)s_%(constraint_name)s"

        t = Table('t', m, Column('x', Integer),
                        CheckConstraint('x > 5', name=conv('ck_t_x5')))

    Where above, the :func:`_schema.conv` marker indicates that the constraint
    name here is final, and the name will render as ``"ck_t_x5"`` and not
    ``"ck_t_ck_t_x5"``
