[sqlalchemy] ordering by number of objects in a many-to-many relationship

2008-02-20 Thread Ryszard Szopa

Hi group,

Is there an easy way of ordering objects by the number of objects that
stand in a ManyToMany relationship with it? My use case is the
following:

I have two types of entities, tags and articles, that stand in a
ManyToMany relation. I want to order the tags by the number of
articles they label and then assign them different CSS classes
depending on their popularity. I know how to do it in a lengthy and
rather ugly way, but I suspect there should be an elegant way (I know
a simple solution in SQL).

Cheers and thanks in advance,

-- Richard

 Make sure you are closing all sessions that are created.   Also, its
 important that you show us what the exact warnings youre getting
 are.   Please send along a reproducing test case illustrating the full
 issue.

I am sorry to admit it, but I cannot reproduce the warnings. I suspect
that it may have something to do with the fact I have dropped and
recreated the database in the meantime. Now I even don't have to close
the session explicitly and everything works fine.

Sorry for bugging you unnecessarily.

Cheers,

 these are some cleanup messages which occur during the final gc of
 objects in the session.  ive tried to work around them a bit but they
 still persist for some applications ( i havent yet been able to
 reproduce them and im hesitatnt to just squash all the exceptions
 entirely).  they are harmless, but also can be prevented if you
 close() the session explicily before the app completes.

No, it does not: closing the session was the first thing I tried. In
my particular case the warnings *are* somewhat harmful: they make it a
lot more difficult to read the effects of running the unit tests for
my program. Of course, I can workaround it by sending stderror to
stdoutput and piping it to less, but I am not completely happy about
this solution.

(Right now I am out of my office and I don't have access to my code or
sqlalchemy version I am using... When I get there on Tuesday I will
double check if closing the session doesn't help.)

Best regards,
