My, that's fast turnaround :^)
Thanks Michael. If I understand associationproxy right, it requires changes to be made to the class, which is a nuisance since one of SA's great strengths is that you don't have alter mapped classes. My classes are being used in non-DB applications, so I'd prefer to steer clear of that. Are there any other possible solutions? p On 27 Jun 2008, at 15:57, Michael Bayer wrote: > On Jun 27, 2008, at 10:12 AM, Paul-Michael Agapow wrote: > >> >> But, I have a situation where I don't want FooCollection to actually >> contain the actual Foos, just a list of their keys.
