Michael,
Thank you,
reading trough your example (and running it)
made me understand a bit more how SQLA works.
I managed to get it all working,
Since I was on my way to something a bit slightly more complex ...one last
Question
What if I would like to:
Class RelationType(Base):
__tablename__ = 'relationtypes'
Id = Column(Integer,
primary_key=True)
ChildRelationType = Column(Unicode(20))
ParentRelationType = Column(Unicode(20))
Some data for information:
Id ChildRelationType
ParentRelationType
1 "Parent"
"Child"
2 "Supplier"
"Customer"
I will put additional logic to print Mother - Son, in Fact this is not really
what I am doing but I feel the need to make it a bit more understandable for
the MailingList
At the end it will be something with molecules, not really interesting and easy
to understand.

Adding this column to the relation_table does not make a difference but....
Somehow I need to get a reference to the "type of relation"
Setting the relation_type MUST be done whilst "Appending" it. i.e. every
relation between "Affiliates" must have a reason
Is this possible or is there another way to do such a thing, I feel logically
it should be part of the relation_table.
Thank you Again for your great help. I'm Not really good in Database stuff, but
did/do a lot on the mod_python/mod_wsgi lists so I know about the huge amounts
of time spent....
