Hi, I'm using joined table inheritance much like the example given here: http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/05/mappers.html#advdatamapping_mapper_inheritance_joined
Additionally, in the employees table, I would like an update_timestamp column of type DateTime: Column('update_timestamp', DateTime, onupdate=datetime.datetime.now()) The rational is so I could keep track of when any employees info is changed, be it a manager or engineer. However, this field is not being updated when an engineer or manager is updated. I'm pretty sure I understand why: The employee table is not being updated. I was just wondering if there was an easy way to get around this issue without using MapperExtensions. Previously I was using MapperExtensions and overriding the before_update method which works since it looks for updates in the entire instance, not just that table. This way works fine, but I like the cleanness of not needing MapperExtensions. Thanks!
