Hi,
I'm using SQLAlchemy 2.2 in a mod_python application, with a "home made"
handler.
Here are my tables / mappers definitions:

As you can see, I have a table "invasives" which is mapped to the
Invasive object. This table has a "many-to-many" relation with the
"habitats" table through the "invasive_habitats" table. So an invasive
can have multiple habitats. When I load an Invasive object from the
database with a session.query(Invasive).get(<pk>) I have their habitats
through the "habitats" properties ('habitats' : relation(Habitat,
secondary=invasive_habitats, lazy=False)), so this is OK and works fine.
The problem I have is when I want to update the habitats of an Invasive.
The values comes from an html <form> in a mod_python Session object
("params" in the following). So I do something like :
# application/controllers/invasive.py
invasive_object = session.query(Invasive).get(168)
=> The result is send to the HTML form for update
=> The user submit the modification
Then I did the following :
for habitat in self.params.getlist('invasive_habitats'):
invasive_object.habitats.append(query_habitat.get(habitat))
which fails because SQLAlchemy does not update or delete the rows in the
"invasive_habitats" table. In place it try to insert a new record which
fail of course :
INSERT INTO invasive_habitats (invasive_id, habitat_id) VALUES (168, 1)
'INSERT INTO invasive_habitats (invasive_id, habitat_id) VALUES
(%(invasive_id)s, %(habitat_id)s)' [{'invasive_id': 168, 'habitat_id':
1}, {'invasive_id': 168, 'habitat_id': 2}]
I tried a clear() method like:
invasive_object.habitats.clear()
for habitat in self.params.getlist('invasive_habitats'):
invasive_object.habitats.append(query_habitat.get(habitat))
but it doesn't work ...
What did I wrong ?
In advance, thanks !
Julien
