[sqlalchemy] Re: Does twophase=True limit to only two databases at the same time?

2015-08-14 Thread Jinghui Niu
Just a thought, if I don't commit those three tables together in my 
application, can I just use 3 Session objects to commit them separately, 
without having to worry about this two phase issue? I want to go simple, 
not sure if I can handle this fancy stuff:)

2015-08-14 Thread Jonathan Vanasco
Well, this problem doesn't really have anything to do with SqlAlchemy -- 
you should probably ask people for advice on the Sqlite lists or Stack 
Overflow.

You can segment out your database into 3 files using the example above. 
 You will just run into an issue where -- because there isn't a 
two-phase-commit available in Sqlite, you will need to decide how to handle 
situations like (but not limited to):

- the first and second databases committed, but the third database raised 
an error (you need to undo in the application)
- the first and second databases committed, but your application was quit 
before the third database could commit (you need to undo from another 
application)

You will have to decide how to handle that at the application and database 
levels, and then SqlAlchemy can be used to implement that strategy. 

I just want to be clear -- your concern right now is on the best way to use 
Sqlite to solve your problem -- not use Sqlalchemy.  Once you figure that 
out, people here can be more helpful.

2015-08-14 Thread Jinghui Niu
Thank you very much Jonathan for your very intuitive analogy!

Basically I just want to put "people", "journal" and "tag" tables(each will 
potentially be very large) into different DBs, if I write that logic, how 
can I integrate it with SQLAlchemy? Could you give me a rough idea here? Or 
point some reference. I suppose such feature is relatively commonly needed 
among SQLite users isn't it?

You can, but not with a two-phase commit. 

Two-phase commit basically works like this:

- round 1, everyone locks-state and votes "COMMIT!" or "N!"
- round 2, if commit in round 1 was unanimous, it commits. otherwise 
everyone is told to roll back.

Since SQLlite doesn't support that, you'd need to write that logic in at 
the application level.

Re: [sqlalchemy] Overwriting __init__() after class definition breaks sqlalchemy with declarative

2015-08-14 Thread Mike Bayer
this code is incorrect from a Python perspective.   You're removing the 
original `__init__` method entirely and it is never called; the attempt 
to call it using super() just calls object.__init__. SQLAlchemy is 
already decorating the __init__ method of the mapped class so you can't 
just throw it away, you can decorate it but you need to make sure its 
still called.


Here is a plain demonstration without any SQLAlchemy:

def licensed():
def decorate(cls):
def ___init__(self, **kwargs):
print "magic new init!"
super(cls, self).__init__(**kwargs)
cls.__init__ = ___init__
return cls
return decorate


@licensed()
class SomeClass(object):
def __init__(self):
print "normal init!"


SomeClass()

Only "magic new init!" is printed.   SomeClass.__init__ is never called.


Here's the correct way to decorate a function in this context:

def licensed(licenses):
def decorate(cls):
orig_init = cls.__init__

def ___init__(self, **kwargs):
for k, v in self.licenses.items():
kwargs.setdefault('{}_license_rate'.format(k), v)
orig_init(self, **kwargs)
cls.__init__ = ___init__

Hi,

I've written a class decorator to define a boilerplate __init__ on

with "object has no attribute '_sa_instance_state'" exceptions. I've

my code but I think the root issue is the same, that is, my __init__ 
replaced the generated one and so the ClassManager events are not

Is there some blessed way to add an __init__ method after a class is 
already defined or is that just impossible with sqlalchemy's

Re: [sqlalchemy] Does twophase=True limit to only two databases at the same time?

2015-08-14 Thread Jonathan Vanasco
twophase deals with the transaction commit protocol , and is unlreated to 
anything else in your example. 
 
(http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/orm/session_api.html#sqlalchemy.orm.session.Session.params.twophase)

You'd simply create an engine3 and bind whatever object classes to it.

FWIW.  Sqlite does not support two-phase commits.   Fore more info on 
two-phase commits - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-phase_commit_protocol
