        The given collection of column expressions should be derived from
        the table that is
        the target of the INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE.  While :class:`.Column`
        objects are typical, the elements can also be expressions::

        Upon compilation, a RETURNING clause, or database equivalent,
        will be rendered within the statement.   For INSERT and UPDATE,
        the values are the newly inserted/updated values.  For DELETE,
        the values are those of the rows which were deleted.

        Upon execution, the values of the columns to be returned are made
        available via the result set and can be iterated using
        :meth:`.ResultProxy.fetchone` and similar.   For DBAPIs which do not
        natively support returning values (i.e. cx_oracle), SQLAlchemy will
        approximate this behavior at the result level so that a reasonable
        amount of behavioral neutrality is provided.

        Note that not all databases/DBAPIs
        support RETURNING.   For those backends with no support,
        an exception is raised upon compilation and/or execution.
        For those who do support it, the functionality across backends
        varies greatly, including restrictions on executemany()
        and other statements which return multiple rows. Please
        read the documentation notes for the database in use in
        order to determine the availability of RETURNING.

        .. seealso::

          :meth:`.ValuesBase.return_defaults` - an alternative method tailored
          towards efficient fetching of server-side defaults and triggers
          for single-row INSERTs or UPDATEs.

        based on the arguments passed to :meth:`.Connection.execute`.
        However, the :meth:`.ValuesBase.values` method can be used to "fix" a
        particular set of parameters into the statement.

        Multiple calls to :meth:`.ValuesBase.values` will produce a new
        construct, each one with the parameter list modified to include
        the new parameters sent.  In the typical case of a single
        dictionary of parameters, the newly passed keys will replace
        the same keys in the previous construct.  In the case of a list-based
        "multiple values" construct, each new list of values is extended
        onto the existing list of values.

         of dictionaries or tuples can be passed as a single positional
         argument in order to form the VALUES or
         SET clause of the statement.  The single dictionary form
         works the same as the kwargs form::

            users.insert().values({"name": "some name"})

         If a tuple is passed, the tuple should contain the same number
         of columns as the target :class:`.Table`::

            users.insert().values((5, "some name"))

         The :class:`.Insert` construct also supports multiply-rendered VALUES
         construct, for those backends which support this SQL syntax
         (SQLite, Postgresql, MySQL).  This mode is indicated by passing a
         list of one or more dictionaries/tuples::

            users.insert().values([
                                {"name": "some name"},
                                {"name": "some other name"},
                                {"name": "yet another name"},
                            ])

         In the case of an :class:`.Update`
         construct, only the single dictionary/tuple form is accepted,
         else an exception is raised.  It is also an exception case to
         attempt to mix the single-/multiple- value styles together,
         either through multiple :meth:`.ValuesBase.values` calls
         or by sending a list + kwargs at the same time.

         .. note::

             Passing a multiple values list is *not* the same
             as passing a multiple values list to the
             :meth:`.Connection.execute` method.  Passing a list of parameter
             sets to :meth:`.ValuesBase.values` produces a construct of this
             form::

                INSERT INTO table (col1, col2, col3) VALUES
                                (col1_0, col2_0, col3_0),
                                (col1_1, col2_1, col3_1),
                                ...

             whereas a multiple list passed to :meth:`.Connection.execute`
             has the effect of using the DBAPI
             `executemany() <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/#id18>`_
             method, which provides a high-performance system of invoking
             a single-row INSERT statement many times against a series
             of parameter sets.   The "executemany" style is supported by
             all database backends, as it does not depend on a special SQL
             syntax.

        E.g.::

            result = connection.execute(stmt)

            server_created_at = result.returned_defaults['created_at']

        When used against a backend that supports RETURNING, all column
        values generated by SQL expression or server-side-default will be
        added to any existing RETURNING clause, provided that
        :meth:`.UpdateBase.returning` is not used simultaneously.  The column
        values will then be available on the result using the
        :attr:`.ResultProxy.returned_defaults` accessor as a dictionary,
        referring to values keyed to the :class:`.Column` object as well as
        its ``.key``.

        This method differs from :meth:`.UpdateBase.returning` in these ways:

        1. :meth:`.ValuesBase.return_defaults` is only intended for use with
           an INSERT or an UPDATE statement that matches exactly one row.
           While the RETURNING construct in the general sense supports
           multiple rows for a multi-row UPDATE or DELETE statement, or for
           special cases of INSERT that return multiple rows (e.g. INSERT from
           SELECT, multi-valued VALUES clause),
           :meth:`.ValuesBase.return_defaults` is intended only for an
           "ORM-style" single-row INSERT/UPDATE statement.  The row returned
           by the statement is also consumed implcitly when
           :meth:`.ValuesBase.return_defaults` is used.  By contrast,
           :meth:`.UpdateBase.returning` leaves the RETURNING result-set
           intact with a collection of any number of rows.

        2. It is compatible with the existing logic to fetch auto-generated
           primary key values, also known as "implicit returning".  Backends
           that support RETURNING will automatically make use of RETURNING in
           order to fetch the value of newly generated primary keys; while the
           :meth:`.UpdateBase.returning` method circumvents this behavior,
           :meth:`.ValuesBase.return_defaults` leaves it intact.

        3. It can be called against any backend.  Backends that don't support
           RETURNING will skip the usage of the feature, rather than raising
           an exception.  The return value of
           :attr:`.ResultProxy.returned_defaults` will be ``None``

        :meth:`.ValuesBase.return_defaults` is used by the ORM to provide
        an efficient implementation for the ``eager_defaults`` feature of
        :func:`.mapper`.

          statement during the execution and/or compilation of the
          statement.   When compiled standalone without any parameters,
          the ``SET`` clause generates for all columns.

            in particular,
            this allows SQL expressions to be rendered 'inline' within the
            statement without the need to pre-execute them beforehand; for
            backends that support "returning", this turns off the "implicit
            returning" feature for the statement.

        If both ``values`` and compile-time bind parameters are present, the
        compile-time bind parameters override the information specified
        within ``values`` on a per-key basis.

        The keys within ``values`` can be either :class:`.Column`
        objects or their string identifiers (specifically the "key" of the
        :class:`.Column`, normally but not necessarily equivalent to
        its "name").  Normally, the
        :class:`.Column` objects used here are expected to be
        part of the target :class:`.Table` that is the table
        to be updated.  However when using MySQL, a multiple-table
        UPDATE statement can refer to columns from any of
        the tables referred to in the WHERE clause.

        The values referred to in ``values`` are typically:

        * a literal data value (i.e. string, number, etc.)
        * a SQL expression, such as a related :class:`.Column`,
          a scalar-returning :func:`.select` construct,
          etc.

        When combining :func:`.select` constructs within the values
        clause of an :func:`.update` construct,
        the subquery represented by the :func:`.select` should be
        *correlated* to the parent table, that is, providing criterion
        which links the table inside the subquery to the outer table
