Oh sorry. If your joinedload is working , you'll see:
SELECT data SELECT TRUE; -- just joinedloaded SELECT TRUE; -- about to touch `bars SELECT TRUE; -- touched `bars if you are not eager-loading, then you'll see something like: SELECT data SELECT TRUE; -- just joinedloaded SELECT TRUE; -- about to touch `bars SELECT data SELECT TRUE; -- touched `bars this line: bars = list(foo.bars) simply accesses the foo.bars property. if it has been eagerloaded, no new sql is required. if it is still lazily-loaded, then the ORM will have to talk to the database to fetch the data. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
