Hello again, Michael.
Just a follow-up to my previous post. The following code does not work as I
would like:
> q = session.query(Client, PersonalClient)
> q = q.join(PersonalClient, Client.id == PersonalClient.id)
> if eager:
> q = q.options(
> joinedload_all(PersonalClient.data, PersonalData.address),
> )
It generates inner subqueries for joins which I don't want.
The following does not work either:
q = session.query(Client).with_polymorphic([PersonalClient])
It generates outer joins instead of inner joins.
BUT the following DOES the right thing and is by far the simplest and most
elegant:
q = session.query(PersonalClient)
# I can reference Client columns via PersonalClient (e.g.
PersonalClient.inherited_column) in filter and such.
I wasted almost all day to figure this. I have no idea why I haven't tried this
(much) sooner. I guess I was stuck on with_polymorphic() and haven't expected
that PersonalClient would magically join on Client as well.
Thank you,
Ladislav Lenart
