Method correlate

lib/sqlalchemy/orm/query.py:1169–1204

Return a :class:`.Query` construct which will correlate the given FROM clauses to that of an enclosing :class:`.Query` or :func:`~.expression.select`. The method here accepts mapped classes, :func:`.aliased` constructs, and :class:`_orm.Mapper` constructs as argument

        into expression constructs, in addition to appropriate expression

        The correlation arguments are ultimately passed to
        :meth:`_expression.Select.correlate`
        after coercion to expression constructs.

        The correlation arguments take effect in such cases
        as when :meth:`_query.Query.from_self` is used, or when
        a subquery as returned by :meth:`_query.Query.subquery` is
        embedded in another :func:`_expression.select` construct.
