Hi,

I am using sqlalchemy like this:

class Entry: pass
table1 = sqa.Table('table1', meta, autoload=True) # this table has
primary key 'id'
table2 = sqa.Table('table2', meta, sqa.Column('table1_id',
sqa.Integer, sqa.ForeignKey('table1.id'), autoload=True)
table1 = table1.join(table2) # gets joined on the ForeignKey, a.k.a.
table2.table1_id == table1.id
sqa_orm.mapper(Entry, table1)
session = sqa_orm.create_session()
entry = Entry()
entry.a = 1
... # working with entry, setting values for all columns except id and
table1_id
session.save(entry)
session.flush()

But now, the entry in table2 gets stored, but with NULL value in
table1_id column. I would expect sqlalchemy to be the same smart as it
is already with the join, and set table2.table1_id to the
corresponding table1.id, because it knows about the foreign key.

Any more direct way to achieve this than to use properties and
relations (which would require two classes (Entry1, Entry2) mapped to
each table separately as opposed to just Entry mapped to a table
join)?

Thanks for any suggestions and cheers,
Boris
