I now need to modify the above tables/relations so I can assign one song to
each player.
To accomplish this, would it be ok to add the following to Player?
songid = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('song.id'))
song = relationship('Song', lazy='select')
Or maybe I should add an association table for Song and Player?
Nathan,
If I correctly understand, the relationship between client and song is 1
(client) to many (songs), and the relationship between client and player is
also 1 (client) to many (players). But, you also have the relationship of 1
(song) to 1 (player). Yes?
This looks similar to my schema that has the class Agency with a 1:Many
relationship with the class Agency_Units, and Agency_Units has a 1:Many
relationship with class Agency_Contacts. Stripped down this is what I have;
I think you can use the same thinking on your schema:
class Agencies(Base):
__tablename__ = 'agencies'
org_name = Column(Unicode(48), Sequence('org_name_seq'), primary_key =
True)
child1 = relationship('Agencies_Units', backref = 'user', cascade =
'all, delete, delete-orphan')
class Agency_Units(Base):
__tablename__ = 'agency_units'
unit_name = Column(Unicode(48), Sequence('unit_name_seq'), primary_key =
True)
ForeignKey('agencies.org_name'))
children = relationship('Agency_Contacts', backref = 'agency_units',
cascade = 'all, delete, delete-orphan')
class Agency_Contacts(Base):
__tablename__ = 'agency_contacts'
id = Column(Integer, Sequence('agency_contact_seq'), primary_key=True)
unit_name = Column(Unicode(48), ForeignKey('agency_units.unit_name'))
The relationship section of the manual (2.1.10, I believe) will help you
determine the specific relationships of your clients, players, and songs
tables.
