of the given names would not be taken into account when generating
the INSERT statement, thus producing a mismatch versus the column
names in the given SELECT statement. Also noted that
:meth:`.Insert.from_select` implies that Python-side insert defaults
cannot be used, since the statement has no VALUES clause. [ticket:2895]
:meth:`.Insert.from_select`. Given a list of columns and
a selectable, renders ``INSERT INTO (table) (columns) SELECT ..``.
While this feature is highlighted as part of 0.9 it is also
backported to 0.8.3. [ticket:722]
- The :func:`.update`, :func:`.insert`, and :func:`.delete` constructs
will now interpret ORM entities as FROM clauses to be operated upon,
in the same way that select() already does. Also in 0.8.3.
