I was trying to do the same thing, But i wanted a different
discriminator for the second level of inheritance.
I changed mine to use the same polymorphic_on for both levels and it
seemed to work for me (although not exactly how i wanted it to be)
My suggestion is :
Get rid of your engineer_id or id in MechanicalEngineer, you don't
need both as they will be the same value.
Add " 'with_polymorphic': '*' " to the __mapper_args__ of both base
classes.
I can email you this in working form if you want.
################# Here is what worked for me ##################
Base = declarative_base()
# ================================ Actions Base
==============================
class _UtConfActions(Base):
__tablename__ = 'tblActions'
# 1 to Many relationship to the managed
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
managed_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('tblManagedDetails.id'))
action = Column(String)
__mapper_args__ = {'polymorphic_on': action, 'with_polymorphic': '*'}
# ============================== Reconciler Actions
===========================
class _UtConfReconcilerActions(_UtConfActions):
__tablename__ = 'tblReconcilerActions'
# 1 to Many relationship to the managed
id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('tblActions.id'), primary_key=True)
action = Column(String)
object_type = Column(String)
__mapper_args__ = {'polymorphic_identity': 'RECONCILER',
'polymorphic_on': action, 'with_polymorphic': '*'}
# ======================= Reconciler Snaphot Actions
==========================
class _UtConfReconcilerActionSnapshot(_UtConfReconcilerActions):
__tablename__ = 'tblReconcilerActionSnapshot'
__mapper_args__ = {'polymorphic_identity': 'R_SNAPSHOT'}
# Joined table inheritence
id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('tblReconcilerActions.id'),
primary_key=True)
revision = Column(String)
comment = Column(String)
