Hi
I'm a Python and SA newbie investigating SA for a project using
Postgres. I have a database schema that I want to point SA at then be
able to write my Python code.
I'm working with a version of the basic_association example to keep
things simple. I want to have unique auto generated ids on my tables
(surrogate primary keys) but also want to have primary keys defined
over the entities' actual attributes. I want to have surrogate keys on
my tables so that I can use them instead of the full priamary keys
when writing joins to keep the SQL brief. In some cases (e.g. the
association table) I'm defining the primary key in terms of surrogate
primary keys rather than copy over the full primary key from the
associated tables.
When I run the code (below) I get AttributeError: 'Order' object has
no attribute '_instance_key'.
Please can someone help me setup SA to work in this example?
Thanks in advance
Phil
