Hi there, Sorry if this has come before, but I did not manage to find a specific answer on the mailing list archives.
I'm porting an application to SA, and because of legacy code, I need to maintain "nicknames" (for now) for some attribute names. The database structure itself has column names such as "username", but the legacy code refers to "UserName" properties. users_table = \ Table('users', metadata, Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True), Column('username', String(255), unique=True, nullable=False), ... I did get the two properties names, username and UserName, to point to the same database column, by using multiple column_property entries in my mapper: mapper(object, table, properties = { 'UserName' : column_property((table.c.username + "")), } Note the use of an expression (table.c.username + "") which is, IMHO, an ugly hack. If I don't do that, I get a 'UserName' property that overwrites the 'username' property. Am I missing the *one obvious way to do it* ? Thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
