I'm importing lots of text files, using csv.dictReader I then create model instances and store the recs in the DB
One row from the csv file might represent a child-row, plus 4-5 parents (using get_or_create for these) It would be highly convenient for me if I could disable the safety mechanism that prevents a constructor dict from containing keys belonging to other tables. I'd rather not have to split my imported row-dictionary into 5-6 other dictionaries before calling each constructor In other words, I'd like to override __init__ on the base (or 1st mixin) constructor to allow (and ignore) non-column named keys in the dict passed as 1st constructor param Can someone show me how to do this?? I'm using declarative and I'm not sure if this helps, but all of my model objects have a __prefix__ class var that tells me the first 4 chars of my column names. So, all of my column (except the pkey and modification_dttm which are declared in the base class & I've not figured out how to name them dynamicaly at class construction), names begin with a consistent prefix. I'd love to learn how to do dynamic naming of columns from an inherited parent class also but that's a separate post.... For example: Class: Customer Table: cus_customers Cols: cus_first, cus_last, cus_dob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
