If that is that case:

1. You could use Triggers in PostgreSQL to ensure that you are within 
the correct dimensions on insert and update.
2. You might be able use events in sqlalchemy to inspect the 
collection and figure out if the number of items is allowablw



from my POV this is more of a SQL/database question, not really 
SQLAlchemy.Not a problem to post here but I wish there were some way 
for me to know which questions are SQLAlchemy-API-specific; other folks 
and/or stackoverflow can take care of general Postgresql / SQL / schema 
design questions.

2015-05-19 Thread Richard Gerd Kuesters
i know, i'm sorry for that. i first posted it here since my whole 
application is managed by sqlalchemy, so that's why i asked for 
something. i mentioned postgresql because it's the database that i use 
and there's a lot of database specific solutions bundled with sa. but, 
even if no rdbms agnostic solution can be provided to such situation 
using sqlalchemy, i'll sure dive into a trigger :)


best regards,
richard.
