[sqlalchemy] Re: Shouldn't MetaData.reflect() be able to reflect views, too?

2010-05-05 Thread stephan
was not aware that metadata.reflect() was doing views in 0.5, and this feature is fine if someone has time to work on it.    (trac ticket is a good start) Below is a tiny diff that allows for reflection of views (so that our 0.5.7-version based unit test passes without changes again).

Hi, I read the documentation about scoped sessions but l'm not sure to understand well what can be shared between threads and what cannot be. Can we share a ScopedSession instance between threads ? Do we have to share only the sessionmaker and re-create a ScoppedSession in each threads ? I have

[sqlalchemy] Reflecting all tables in a database that creates objects with declarative objects

I am new to Sqlalchemy and ORM in general. I also have a slightly odd use case. My existing database is a set of very simple tables. Each table has the exact same layout/columns just different names, for different collections of information. So I looked through the Documentation and it seems to

thx, is there a way to set that up, or something similar? after giving it thought, maybe polymorphic_on isn't what i need. in some sense, table A is similar to a generic container, and i want to constrain the type of C depending on A's type column. is there a way to do this? On Wed, May 5,

I meant SQL.if you want to do polymorphic_on based on a.type it would at the very least need to issue: SELECT c.*, a.type JOIN b ON c.b_id = b.id JOIN a ON b.a_id=a which is an expensive way to get to where you're going. It can be done of course but not through relation(). On May 5,
