the general way is to disable merge cascade on the relation(), using "cascade='save-update'" or "cascade=None" > I created a new user instance and copied all relevant attributes to > it.

Anyway, the problem here is that you can't merge dirty objects. dirty objects are also mergeable, but only if you allow the Session to load their existing state from the database (i.e. you dont use the 'dont_load' flag). If you're playing with caching you shouldn't put dirty objects into a cache. > > My version of sqlalchemy is 0.4.4 oof. go to 0.4.8 at the very least. 0.5.6 preferably. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
