Filter based on NULL Values in SQLAlchemy

NULL values filter on column values can be applied in SQLAlchemy using None keyword in filter query.

from sqlalchemy import or_

dbsession.query(
    EmployeeModel
).filter(
    or_(
        EmployeeModel.status != 'active',
        EmployeeModel.status == None #this is used to check NULL values
    )
).all()

In the code snippet, we are checking whether the status of the employee is not active or none. We are getting records based on these conditions. We can also apply and_ operator in place of or_ id we want both the conditions needs to be true.
