[sqlalchemy] memory usage of the session in a loop

2011-05-23 Thread erikj
Hello,

When a loop is constructed out of a query, eg :

for a in query:
   print a

where query is a query that returns objects.

and you look at the identity_map of the session,
inside the loop, you see that it contains all objects

[sqlalchemy] memory usage of the session in a loop

2011-05-23 Thread erikj
Hello,

When a loop is constructed out of a query, eg :

for a in query:
   print a

where query is a query that returns objects.

and you look at the identity_map of the session,
inside the loop, you see that it contains all objects
the query will return.

I would appear to me that only one object at a time
is needed during the loop, and so the identity map
should only contain 1 instance.

Is my understanding wrong, or am I missing
something ?

Thank you and best regards,

Erik
