what version of SQLA is that ? I cannot reproduce. test case:
from sqlalchemy import *
from sqlalchemy.orm import *
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base, declared_attr,
has_inherited_table
Base= declarative_base()
class Person(Base):
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
type = Column('type', String(50))
@declared_attr
def __tablename__(cls):
if has_inherited_table(cls):
return None
return cls.__name__.lower()
@declared_attr
def __mapper_args__(cls):
if cls.__name__ == 'Person':
mapper_args = {}
mapper_args['polymorphic_on'] = cls.type
return mapper_args
else:
return {"polymorphic_identity": cls.__name__}
class Mixin(object):
@declared_attr
def target_id(cls):
return Column('target_id', ForeignKey('target.id'))
@declared_attr
def target(cls):
return relationship("Target")
class Engineer(Person, Mixin):
pass
class Target(Base):
__tablename__ = 'target'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
configure_mappers()
e = create_engine("sqlite://", echo=True)
Base.metadata.create_all(e)
s = Session(e)
s.add_all([
Engineer(),
Engineer(target=Target())
])
print s.query(Engineer, Target).outerjoin(Engineer.target).all()
output:
