if it's about concrete inheritance, then employee contains ALL info it
needs, that is, a full copy of person + whatever else is there,
and is completely independent from person table.
so for that case,
a) foregn key is not needed
b) inserting in employee_tbl will never insert stuff in person_tbl - they
are independent.
now, what u're expecting (chaining of id's and rows etc) will come from
joined_table inheritance. See about that in docs; and just remove
concrete=True from your mapper.

I have 2 tables Person (id, name) Employee (id, salary) and every
Employee 'isa' Person, so employee.id == person.id. I am trying to use
the Concrete Inheritance (i.e. ' pjoin) example provided in the
documentation. My mapping looks as follows.
person_table = Table(persons, __meta__,
Column(id, Integer, primary_key=True),
Column(name, String(80))
)
employee_table = Table(empys, __meta__,
Column(id, Integer, ForeignKey(persons.id),
primary_key=True),
Column(salary, Integer),
)
class Person (object): pass
class Employee(Person): pass
pjoin = polymorphic_union({
'person':person_table,
'employee':employee_table
}, 'type', 'pjoin')
person_mapper = mapper(Person, person_table, select_table=pjoin, \
polymorphic_on=pjoin.c.type,
polymorphic_identity='person')
emp_mapper = mapper(Employee, employee_table, inherits=person_mapper,
\
concrete=True, polymorphic_identity='employee')
I want to now add a New employee to the system with the following
snippet.
e = Employee()
e.name = 'TestEmpl'
e.salary = 100
session.save(e)
session.commit()
Problem is when it tries to save employee, sqlalchemy raises the
following error
sqlalchemy.exceptions.ProgrammingError: (ProgrammingError) relation
empys_id_seq does not exist
'select nextval(\'empys_id_seq\')' None
Since all id's in employees table map directly to Person table (which
has the correct sequence), I would think alchemy would first store the
Person part and then store the employee part. Any clues on how to
correct this ??.
I also tried adding a Sequence to employee forcing it to use the same
one as person table...
employee_table = Table(empys, __meta__,
Column(id, Integer, ForeignKey(persons.id),
Sequence(person_id_seq) primary_key=True),
Column(salary, Integer),
)
But now it raises a constraint violation because its trying to insert
a row in employees table without inserting anything in person first..
Any ideas how I can fix this?.. I would greatly appreciate any help in
this regard.. Thanks
