Hi all,

I'm having a problem with a new instance of a relation conflicting with
an existing instance. I'm using SA 0.5rc with Sqlite3. Here are my
simplified classes:

class Stat(sqladb.Base):
    __tablename__ = "stats"
    name         = Column(String(32), primary_key=True)
    total        = Column(Integer)
    created      = Column(DateTime, default=datetime.datetime.now())
    updated      = Column(DateTime)
    states       = Column(PickleType, default={})
    extraStats   = relation("ExtraStat", backref="stat")
        
class ExtraStat(sqladb.Base):
    __tablename__ = "extrastats"
    name         = Column(String(32), ForeignKey("stats.name"),
primary_key=True)
    total        = Column(Integer)
    created      = Column(DateTime, default=datetime.datetime.now())
    updated      = Column(DateTime)
    states       = Column(PickleType, default={})

The above Stat class has a one-to-many relationship with the ExtraStat
class (which I think I've implemented correctly). Later in the program I
create an in memory data model that has as part of it's components two
dictionaries that contain Stat instances. Those Stat instances have
relationships to ExtraStat instances. My problem comes in the following
when I'm trying to update the data in those instances/tables. Here is a
section of code that throws the exception:

pressName = "press%s" % pressNum
# add new ExtraStat instances as relations
self._addProductStatsPress(productType, pressName)
self._addPressStatsProduct(pressName, productType)
try:
  extraStat = session.query(Stat). \
              filter(Stat.name==productType). \
              join("extraStats"). \
              filter(ExtraStat.name==pressName).one()
except:
  extraStat = ExtraStat(pressName, ExtraStat.PRESS_TYPE)
  self.productStats[productType].extraStats.append(extraStat)
  extraStat.states.setdefault(sstate, 0)
  extraStat.states[sstate] += 1
  extraStat.updated = now
  extraStat = session.merge(extraStat)
try:
  extraStat = session.query(Stat). \
              filter(Stat.name==pressName). \
              join("extraStats"). \
              filter(ExtraStat.name==productType).one()   <==== throws
exception right here
except:
  extraStat = ExtraStat(productType, ExtraStat.PRODUCT_TYPE)
  self.pressStats[pressName].extraStats.append(extraStat)
  extraStat.states.setdefault(sstate, 0)
  extraStat.states[sstate] += 1
  extraStat.updated = now

The marked area is wear it throws the exception. I'm not sure what to do
here to get past this, any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

The exact exception is as follows:
Sqlalchemy.orm.exc.FlushError: New instance [EMAIL PROTECTED] With identity
key (<class '__main__.ExtraStat'>,(u'C',)) conflicts with persistent
instance [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks!
