So I attempted to implement this, and I think I got perty close but
ended up getting stuck on trying to get the mapper working. Using SA
0.5.2 w/ psycopg2 2.0.9.
First I worked out the SQL for what I wanted and got this :
SELECT * FROM task
JOIN
( SELECT note_task.task_name, note_task.task_asset,note.*
FROM note_task JOIN
(SELECT asset, MAX(updated) AS recent
FROM note
GROUP BY asset
) AS latest ON (note_task.task_asset=latest.asset)
JOIN note ON (latest.asset=note.asset AND latest.recent=note.updated)
WHERE note_task.note=note.id
) AS latest_note ON (task.asset=latest_note.asset AND
task.name=latest_note.task_name)
WHERE
task.name='UV'
AND task.asset='16307499967233846625';
Keep in mind task has a composite primary key of (name,asset), and asset
is a foreign key onto asset, and the note table also has a foreign key
onto asset.
Not all notes on an asset are related to tasks.
Then I wrote two selects:
recent_notes = select([func.max(note_table.c.updated).label('updated'),
note_table.c.asset]).group_by(note_table.c.asset).alias()
recent_task_notes = select([note_task_table.c.task_asset,
note_task_table.c.task_name, note_table.c.id]).\
where(and_(recent_notes.c.asset==note_task_table.c.task_asset,
note_task_table.c.note==note_table.c.id,
note_table.c.updated==recent_notes.c.updated)).alias()
When I do:
db.echo=True
db.execute(recent_task_notes).fetchone()
The SQL and the result look good:
2009-03-24 13:31:01,254 INFO sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine.0x...d410
SELECT note_task.task_asset, note_task.task_name, note.id
FROM note_task, note, (SELECT max(note.updated) AS updated, note.asset
AS asset
FROM note GROUP BY note.asset) AS anon_1
WHERE anon_1.asset = note_task.task_asset AND note_task.note = note.id
AND note.updated = anon_1.updated
My mapper for Task and Notes now looks like:
mapper(Task,task_table, properties={
'Notes':relation(Note,secondary=note_task_table,
order_by=note_table.c.updated.desc(), backref='Tasks'),
'LatestNote':relation(Note,secondary=recent_notes,
primaryjoin=and_(task_table.c.name==recent_task_notes.c.task_name,task_table.c.asset==recent_task_notes.c.task_asset),
secondaryjoin=note_table.c.id==recent_task_notes.c.id,
foreign_keys=[recent_task_notes.c.task_name,recent_task_notes.c.task_asset,
recent_task_notes.c.id],viewonly=True),
'State':relation(TaskState),
'Group':relation(Group, lazy=True)},
save_on_init=False)
mapper(Note, note_table, polymorphic_on=note_table.c.type,
polymorphic_identity='note', properties={
'Tags':relation(Tag, backref='Notes',
secondary=note_tags_table, order_by=note_tags_table.c.tag)},
save_on_init=False)
mapper(EditorialNote, editorial_note_table, inherits=Note,
polymorphic_identity='editorial', save_on_init=False)
mapper(JobNote, job_note_table, inherits=Note,
polymorphic_identity='job', save_on_init=False)
So When I try it out I get:
>>> session=create_session()
>>> t=session.query(Task).get(('28510740454639751607','Model'))
>>> t.LatestNote
