The document says: ==================================================== Expunge removes an object from the Session, sending persistent instances to the detached state, and pending instances to the transient state:
==================================================== I hoped that if an instance was expunged from a session, I might use it safely as a container of some temp data without fearing trigger any database query. But I found that if an object is 'expunge'd , it's properties will not be accessible anymore. So, when should we use expunge? Or it is kept for sqlalchemy inner use only? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
