the typical hook for this kind of thing is __declare_last__, works after
everything has been compiled.
you might have an easier time also (or might not matter) if you build against
the Table (i.e. Foo.__table__.alias(), etc.) instead of firing up the class
with aliased(Foo), but if you're in __declare_last__ might not matter anyway.

Hi,
Using declarative here, and I'm trying to create a column_property with a
correlated subquery that returns a count of records with a matching value in
some other column. Here's what I've tried. Option 1 is the best, option 2 is
ugly but second best, option 3 is not a good option since there are many
other classes involved and the place where I'd need to put that code is far
away from where it logically belongs.
from sqlalchemy import *

Base = declarative_base()
option = 1
class Foo(Base):
__tablename__ = 'foo'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
bar_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey(bar.id))
name = Column(String)
if option == 1:
# does not work (see first traceback below)
@declared_attr
def name_count(cls):
clx = aliased(cls)
return column_property(
select(func.count([clx.id]))
.where(clx.name == cls.name)
.correlate(cls.__table__))
if option == 2:
# does not work (see second traceback below)
_foo = aliased(Foo)
Foo.name_count = column_property(
select([func.count(_foo.id)])
.where(_foo.name == Foo.name)
.correlate(Foo.__table__))
class Bar(Base):
__tablename__ = 'bar'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
name = Column(String)
if option == 3:
# works, but really not where I want to put this code
_foo = aliased(Foo)
Foo.name_count = column_property(
select([func.count(_foo.id)])
.where(_foo.name == Foo.name)
.correlate(Foo.__table__))
