this is because it is configured incorrectly; the auto increment column must
be a primary key column. this is not just SQLAlchemy’s behavior but is also
a limitation of MySQL. Note the following exception is returned by the
database directly:
CREATE TABLE user (
id INTEGER NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
coreid VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (coreid)
)
File "build/bdist.macosx-10.4-x86_64/egg/MySQLdb/connections.py", line 36, in
defaulterrorhandler
sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (OperationalError) (1075, 'Incorrect table
definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key')
'\nCREATE TABLE user (\n\tid INTEGER NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, \n\tcoreid
VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL, \n\tPRIMARY KEY (coreid)\n)\n\n' ()
see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/example-auto-increment.html.
The attached script illustrates how to hack SQLAlchemy to render DDL like the
above however it isn’t accepted by the database.

use ALTER TABLE:

SQLAlchemy provides the DDL construct:
http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_9/core/ddl.html?#sqlalchemy.schema.DDL
e.g.
from sqlalchemy import event, DDL
event.listen(User.__table__, "after_create", DDL("ALTER TABLE user
AUTO_INCREMENT = 5"))

I don’t know why you’d need this as if you just use MyISAM in MySQL, foreign
keys are ignored in any case, and you don’t need ForeignKey anyway unless you
are looking for joins to generate themselves (which could be handy).
Again, the DDL support allows this:
http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_9/core/ddl.html?highlight=createcolumn#controlling-ddl-sequences
from sqlalchemy.schema import AddConstraint, ForeignKeyConstraint
for table in Base.metadata.tables.values():
for constraint in table.constraints:
if isinstance(constraint, ForeignKeyConstraint):
AddConstraint(constraint).execute_if(callable_ = lambda *args:
False)
the attached script demonstrates all three techniques (but fails unless you
disable the AUTO_INCREMENT hack).
