Hi, I want to make a relation such that.. i have users post some articles.. and can link them as relatd to other articles.
I have the Article table like this: articles = Table('articles', metadata, Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True), Column('topic', Unicode(256), nullable=False), Column('rank', Integer), Column('content', Unicode, nullable=False), mysql_engine='InnoDB' ) And I have a related articles association table like this: articles_related_articles = Column('article_id', Integer, ForeignKey('articles.id'), index=True, nullable=False), Column('related_id', Integer, nullable=False), Column('bias', SmallInteger, default=0), mysql_engine='InnoDB' ) So, if article 1 is related to article 2.. then there should be two rows in the articles_related_articles table like: > 1 2 0 > 2 1 0 This is how I make the relation mapping in SA: mapper(ArticleRelatedArticle, articles_realted_articles, primary_key=[articles_realted_articles.c.article_id, articles_related_articles.c.related_id], properties={'article': relation(Article),} ) assign_mapper(context, Article, articles, 'related': relation(ArticlesRelatedArticles, cascade="all, delete- orphan", lazy=True) ) I am doing this in the shell, but its not working as expected. I dont see those two rows created, and related_id is always getting overrideen to NULL, even though I have it specified while creating the object. In [1]: a = Article.select()[0] In [3]: a.id Out[3]: 1L In [4]: b = Article.select()[1] In [5]: c = ArticlesRelatedArticles(article_id=a.id, related_id=b.id) In [6]: a.related.append(c) In [7]: session.flush() /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/SQLAlchemy-0.3.4-py2.4.egg/sqlalchemy/ databases/mysql.py:313: Warning: Field 'related_id' doesn't have a default value Now, checking the db, this is what I have: mysql> select * from articles_related_articles; +-------------+------------+------+ | articles_id | related_id | bias | +-------------+------------+------+ | 1 | 0 | 0 | can someone help me with what could be wrong with my code? thanks! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
