I'm using postgres version 10, alembic 1.0.0, sqlalchemy 1.2.12. I'm aware ALTER COLUMN in SQL doesn't delete rows, but op.alter_column is doing that.
My customer & daily reading models look like: class Customer(DeclarativeBase): __tablename__ = 'customers' id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True) electricity_readings = relationship( 'ElectricityMeterReading', cascade='all,delete-orphan', backref=backref('customer', cascade='all') ) gas_readings = relationship( 'GasMeterReading', cascade='all,delete-orphan', backref=backref('customer', cascade='all') ) daily_smart_meter_readings = relationship( 'DailyMeterReading', cascade='all,delete-orphan', backref=backref('customer', cascade='all') ) class DailyMeterReading(DeclarativeBase): __tablename__ = 'daily_smart_meter_readings' id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True) customer_pk = Column( Integer, ForeignKey('customers.id'), nullable=False, index=True ) reading = Column(Float, nullable=False) reading_at = Column(UtcDateTime, nullable=False, index=True) On Monday, October 8, 2018 at 3:26:11 PM UTC+1, Mike Bayer wrote: > > Hi there - > > I have no idea what you are seeing. an actual ALTER COLUMN > operation does not delete rows.
