Hi All, I am having a very bad day (or two to be honest), spending time reading error messages.
I am sorry to say but the SQLALCHEMY documentation is not very helpful when using declarative_base.... when it is about relations...... It should be very easy for you database guy's (which I'm not, I'm more of a protocoll/low level programmer) The problem. I am implementing a calendaring system based on the ical specification. Consider the following ( I'll keep it as simple as possible): I am using MySQL 5.+ SQLAlchemy 0.5.6 Class | __tablename__ ----------------+---------------------- Calendar | Calendars Event | CalendarEvents Todo | CalendarTodos Alarm | CalendarAlarms XProp | CalendarXProps (Tablenames do not reflect Objectnames, sorry for that, it is a requirement) so: class XProp(Base): __tablename__ = "CalendarXProps" Id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True) EventId = the Id of the event this XProp belongs to AlarmId = the Id of the Alarm this Xprop belongs to CalendarId = The Id of the Calendar .......... Name = Column(....... Value = Column(...... (either EventId or AlarmId or CalendarId is used) class Event(Base): __tablename__ ="CalendarEvents" Id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True) CalendarId = the ID of the Calendar this Object belongs to XProps = relation zero or more XProp (I would like to do: for XProp in self.XProps: ...... ) X = Column(.... Y = Column(... def __init__(self): self.Xprops = [ ] self.X = "X" self.Y = 576234 class Alarm(Base): __tablename__ ="CalendarAlarms" Id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True) CalendarId = the ID of the Calendar this Object belongs to XProps = relation zero or more XProp X = Column(.... Y = Column(... def __init__(self): self.Xprops = [ ] self.X = "X klsdjkladsjkd ddsa" self.Y = 5 class Calendar(Base): __tablename__ = "Calendars" Id = Column(Integer, primairy_key=True) Events = relation One Calendar zero or more Events (i.e. [ ], [Event,Events,Event,....] Alarms = relation One Calendar zero or more Alarms XProps = relation, One Calendar zero or more XProp X = Column(.... Y = Column(... def __init__(self): self.Events = [ ] self.Alarms = [ ] self.Xprops = [ ] self.X = "X" self.Y = 576234 cal = Calendar() the X, Y, Name and Value columns indicate example record data) The Errormessages are allways on the line with cal = Calendar(), saying the original errormessage has probaby been lost due to hasattr..... Not very helpfull since over 40 objecttypes are trying to do the same thing. Whatever I do with ForeignKey, backref, relation keeps popping up errors whenever I try to make a Calendar Instance (e.g. cal = Calendar () ) One or mappers failed to compile..... The big problem is that the tablenames are not equal to the Object names and that seems to confuse SQLAlchemy . Many errors (every time I run my program It generates a different error) Like" table 'Calendar' " not found (I never said there is a table Calendar, that is the objectname, I specify Calendars.Id) Can someone please help me with the setting up the relations. in the example above to give me a starting point. (there are about 40 XProp alike Objects and some Alarm/Even alike objects, I have reduced the above example to the minimum possible) So what I need is help with the relation and Foreign Key columns including the backrefs (I need to search CalendarEvents and find the corresponding Calendar) Thank you very mutch!!!!
