Here are few columns that I am not sure how to represent their data in
the database.

Columns like 'status' in account indicating the account status.

Columns like 'type' indicating the account type 'business',
individual', 'reseller'.

Granted I can normalize them and create tables for each. but I'd like
to avoid Session.query(AccountType).filter_by(type='business') when
assigning a type to an account for example.

I can use polymorphic discriminator but in most cases I don't need it.


Any suggestions?

Thanks,
