    The Connection object is **not** thread-safe.  While a Connection can be
    shared among threads using properly synchronized access, it is still
    possible that the underlying DBAPI connection may not support shared
    access between threads.  Check the DBAPI documentation for details.

    The Connection object represents a single dbapi connection checked out
    from the connection pool. In this state, the connection pool has no affect
    upon the connection, including its expiration or timeout state. For the
    connection pool to properly manage connections, connections should be
    returned to the connection pool (i.e. ``connection.close()``) whenever the
    connection is not in use.

        The method returns a copy of this :class:`.Connection` which references
        the same underlying DBAPI connection, but also defines the given
        execution options which will take effect for a call to
        :meth:`execute`. As the new :class:`.Connection` references the same
        underlying resource, it's usually a good idea to ensure that the copies
        will be discarded immediately, which is implicit if used as in::

            result = connection.execution_options(stream_results=True).\
                                execute(stmt)

        Note that any key/value can be passed to
        :meth:`.Connection.execution_options`, and it will be stored in the
        ``_execution_options`` dictionary of the :class:`.Connection`.   It
        is suitable for usage by end-user schemes to communicate with
        event listeners, for example.

        The keywords that are currently recognized by SQLAlchemy itself
        include all those listed under :meth:`.Executable.execution_options`,
        as well as others that are specific to :class:`.Connection`.

        :param autocommit: Available on: Connection, statement.
          When True, a COMMIT will be invoked after execution
          when executed in 'autocommit' mode, i.e. when an explicit
          transaction is not begun on the connection. Note that DBAPI
          connections by default are always in a transaction - SQLAlchemy uses
          rules applied to different kinds of statements to determine if
          COMMIT will be invoked in order to provide its "autocommit" feature.
          Typically, all INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE statements as well as
          CREATE/DROP statements have autocommit behavior enabled; SELECT
          constructs do not. Use this option when invoking a SELECT or other
          specific SQL construct where COMMIT is desired (typically when
          calling stored procedures and such), and an explicit
          transaction is not in progress.

        :param compiled_cache: Available on: Connection.
          A dictionary where :class:`.Compiled` objects
          will be cached when the :class:`.Connection` compiles a clause
          expression into a :class:`.Compiled` object.
          It is the user's responsibility to
          manage the size of this dictionary, which will have keys
          corresponding to the dialect, clause element, the column
          names within the VALUES or SET clause of an INSERT or UPDATE,
          as well as the "batch" mode for an INSERT or UPDATE statement.
          The format of this dictionary is not guaranteed to stay the
          same in future releases.

          Note that the ORM makes use of its own "compiled" caches for
          some operations, including flush operations.  The caching
          used by the ORM internally supersedes a cache dictionary
          specified here.

        :param isolation_level: Available on: :class:`.Connection`.
          Set the transaction isolation level for
          the lifespan of this :class:`.Connection` object (*not* the
          underlying DBAPI connection, for which the level is reset
          to its original setting upon termination of this
          :class:`.Connection` object).

          Valid values include
          those string values accepted by the
          :paramref:`.create_engine.isolation_level`
          parameter passed to :func:`.create_engine`.  These levels are
          semi-database specific; see individual dialect documentation for
          valid levels.

          Note that this option necessarily affects the underlying
          DBAPI connection for the lifespan of the originating
          :class:`.Connection`, and is not per-execution. This
          setting is not removed until the underlying DBAPI connection
          is returned to the connection pool, i.e.
          the :meth:`.Connection.close` method is called.

          .. warning::  The ``isolation_level`` execution option should
             **not** be used when a transaction is already established, that
             is, the :meth:`.Connection.begin` method or similar has been
             called.  A database cannot change the isolation level on a
             transaction in progress, and different DBAPIs and/or
             SQLAlchemy dialects may implicitly roll back or commit
             the transaction, or not affect the connection at all.

             .. versionchanged:: 0.9.9 A warning is emitted when the
                ``isolation_level`` execution option is used after a
                transaction has been started with :meth:`.Connection.begin`
                or similar.

          .. note:: The ``isolation_level`` execution option is implicitly
             reset if the :class:`.Connection` is invalidated, e.g. via
             the :meth:`.Connection.invalidate` method, or if a
             disconnection error occurs.  The new connection produced after
             the invalidation will not have the isolation level re-applied
             to it automatically.

          not passing the parameter collection at all.
          Some DBAPIs such as psycopg2 and mysql-python consider
          percent signs as significant only when parameters are
          present; this option allows code to generate SQL
          containing percent signs (and possibly other characters)
          that is neutral regarding whether it's executed by the DBAPI
          or piped into a script that's later invoked by
          command line tools.

        :param stream_results: Available on: Connection, statement.
          Indicate to the dialect that results should be
          "streamed" and not pre-buffered, if possible.  This is a limitation
          of many DBAPIs.  The flag is currently understood only by the
          psycopg2, mysqldb and pymysql dialects.

        :param schema_translate_map: Available on: Connection, Engine.
          A dictionary mapping schema names to schema names, that will be
          applied to the :paramref:`.Table.schema` element of each
          :class:`.Table` encountered when SQL or DDL expression elements

        to implement "sharding" schemes where multiple :class:`.Engine`
        objects refer to the same connection pool, but are differentiated
        by options that would be consumed by a custom event::

            primary_engine = create_engine("mysql://")
            shard1 = primary_engine.execution_options(shard_id="shard1")
            shard2 = primary_engine.execution_options(shard_id="shard2")

        Above, the ``shard1`` engine serves as a factory for
        :class:`.Connection` objects that will contain the execution option
        ``shard_id=shard1``, and ``shard2`` will produce :class:`.Connection`
        objects that contain the execution option ``shard_id=shard2``.

        An event handler can consume the above execution option to perform
        a schema switch or other operation, given a connection.  Below
        we emit a MySQL ``use`` statement to switch databases, at the same
        time keeping track of which database we've established using the
        :attr:`.Connection.info` dictionary, which gives us a persistent
        storage space that follows the DBAPI connection::
