I wrote telegram bot  and have some problem with update rows   Use this example  if you have Model  def update state chat id  state       try          value   Users query filter Users chat id    str chat id   first           value state   str state          db session flush           db session commit            db session close       except          print  Error in def update state     Why use db session flush    That s why     SQLAlchemy  What  39 s the difference between flush   and commit

With the help of user User query filter by username form username data  first   statement you will get the specified user in user variable    Now you can change the value of the new object variable like user no of logins    1 and save the changes with the session s commit method

Examples to clarify the important issue in accepted answer s comments  I didn t understand it until I played around with it myself  so I figured there would be others who were confused as well   Say you are working on the user whose id    6 and whose no of logins    30 when you start     1  bad  user no of logins    1   result  UPDATE user SET no of logins   31 WHERE user id   6    2  bad  user no of logins   user no of logins   1   result  UPDATE user SET no of logins   31 WHERE user id   6    3  bad  setattr user   no of logins   user no of logins   1    result  UPDATE user SET no of logins   31 WHERE user id   6    4  ok  user no of logins   User no of logins   1   result  UPDATE user SET no of logins   no of logins   1 WHERE user id   6    5  ok  setattr user   no of logins   User no of logins   1    result  UPDATE user SET no of logins   no of logins   1 WHERE user id   6   The point  By referencing the class instead of the instance  you can get SQLAlchemy to be smarter about incrementing  getting it to happen on the database side instead of the Python side   Doing it within the database is better since it s less vulnerable to data corruption  e g  two clients attempt to increment at the same time with a net result of only one increment instead of two    I assume it s possible to do the incrementing in Python if you set locks or bump up the isolation level  but why bother if you don t have to   A caveat  If you are going to increment twice via code that produces SQL like SET no of logins   no of logins   1  then you will need to commit or at least flush in between increments  or else you will only get one increment in total     6  bad  user no of logins   User no of logins   1 user no of logins   User no of logins   1 session commit     result  UPDATE user SET no of logins   no of logins   1 WHERE user id   6    7  ok  user no of logins   User no of logins   1 session flush     result  UPDATE user SET no of logins   no of logins   1 WHERE user id   6 user no of logins   User no of logins   1 session commit     result  UPDATE user SET no of logins   no of logins   1 WHERE user id   6
