I've got a triple join table (joining three things together) and I'm
really struggling to get it to work as I intend. I've pasted the full
model at the bottom. I've struggled with this off and on for months
now... I don't really understand how I can get SQLAlchemy to do what I
want.
The join table has 4 columns:
type_id | section_id | question_id | ord
What I'd like is the following:
Questionnaire object with:
.sections list that contain
.questions list that contain:
.answer
So, something like:
q = Questionnaire()
print q.sections[2].questions[1].answer
# yield the answer to question 1 of section 2 (or question 2 of
section 3 depending on your indexing :) )
I encounter a problem because a Question object doesn't know what the
type_id is because that is stored with the Questionnaire object.
Likewise from a section object. I'm pulling my hair out...
Thanks,
Matt Haggard
