Fantastic: and now i don't need the join to the persons table anymore
- it stays hidden inside the message object, so i can just ask for
"sender.name" or whatever i want - that's nice - If I have the
objects, i can delegate the use of them to others, maybe leading to
higher level of reuse (= less bugs) of the 'sql'.
Me on sqlalchemy:
"""
One of the things, I like about sql, is it's language
independency -
it can be discussed with almost all programmers and
powerusers and even to some extent with laymen.
With this set of tools I can (i hope;-) accomodate two things -
take some of the tedious things away from expressing
myself in sql but still have sql (kindly provided by sqlalchemy),
that i can discuss with powerusers"""
k = model.message_table.alias('k')
m = model.message_table
return dbsession.query(model.Message).\
filter(m.c.toid==79487281).\
filter(~exists([1], and_(
k.c.toid==m.c.fromid,
k.c.fromid==m.c.toid,
k.c.sent>m.c.sent))
).\
order_by(desc(m.c.sent)).list()
