So I think both approaches have advantages, the one here is nice because it
will work with any query. A more efficient query doesn't rely upon the
correlated subquery, and instead joins to a grouping, allowing all the
max(date) rows to be found at once:
subq = s.query(B.a_id,
func.max(B.date).label('date')).group_by(B.a_id).subquery()
for obj in s.query(A).join(A.bs).\
join(subq, A.bs).\
filter(subq.c.date==B.date).options(contains_eager(A.bs)):
print obj.bs
the SQL here is:
SELECT b.id AS b_id, b.a_id AS b_a_id, b.date AS b_date, a.id AS a_id
FROM a
JOIN b ON a.id = b.a_id
JOIN (SELECT b.a_id AS a_id, max(b.date) AS date
FROM b GROUP BY b.a_id) AS anon_1 ON a.id = anon_1.a_id
WHERE anon_1.date = b.date
let's see mongodb do that ! :)
I'm keeping a running track of these examples at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/RelationshipToLatest as this
use is something that has come up a lot before.
