Hi All,
I currently have code that looks like this:
recipients = []
if recipient_ids:
for id in recipient_ids.split(','):
recipients.append(
session.query(recipient.Recipient).filter_by(id=id).one()
)
else:
recipient_ids = ()
feed.recipients = recipients
Where the models are:
feed_recipient = Table('feed_recipient', Base.metadata,
Column('feed_id', String(length=32), ForeignKey('feed.id')),
Column('recipient_id', Integer, ForeignKey('recipient.id')),
)
class Feed(Base):
__tablename__ = 'feed'
id = Column(String(length=32), primary_key=True)
recipients = relation('Recipient', secondary=feed_recipient)
class Recipient(Base,ComputedMapperArgs):
__tablename__='recipient'
feeds = relation('Feed', secondary=feed_recipient)
It feels like a horribly inefficient way of updating the many-to-many
relationship. I guess I could just use the sql abstraction layer, but
that feels like circumventing the ORM without just cause ;-)
Am I missing something? If I have a sequence of ids where I want to
update the many to many relationship as above, what's the best way of
doing it?
cheers,
Chris
