Hello All, I'm trying to use the new bulk_save_objects() to improve performance on bulk inserts, and have run into a problem. If bulk_save_objects() is used to save objects of a polymorphic class..
1. They are created correctly in the DB, with polymorphic type column populated correctly 2. BUT queries for the new objects will return one of incorrect type. In my case I'm getting instances of Child1 back when I would expect to get a Child2. The following code demonstrates the problem: #!/usr/bin/env python3 # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from sqlalchemy import create_engine from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, SmallInteger, String, ForeignKey from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base Base = declarative_base() class Entity(Base): __tablename__ = 'Entity' Id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True, nullable=False) Content = Column(String) _polytype = Column(SmallInteger, nullable=False) __mapper_args__ = { 'polymorphic_identity':1, 'polymorphic_on':_polytype } class Child1(Entity): __tablename__ = 'Child1' MyId = Column(ForeignKey("Entity.Id"), primary_key=True) __mapper_args__ = {'polymorphic_identity':11} class Child2(Entity): __tablename__ = 'Child2' MyId = Column(ForeignKey("Entity.Id"), primary_key=True) __mapper_args__ = {'polymorphic_identity':12} if __name__ == '__main__': # engine = create_engine('sqlite:///:memory:', echo=False) engine = create_engine('sqlite:///test.db', echo=False) Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine) sess = Session() Base.metadata.create_all(engine) c1_many = [Child1(Content="c1inst_%d"%i) for i in range(0,1000)] c2_many = [Child2(Content="c2inst_%d"%i) for i in range(0,1000)] sess.bulk_save_objects(c1_many) sess.bulk_save_objects(c2_many) # sess.add_all(c1_many) # sess.add_all(c2_many) sess.flush() sess.commit() for c in sess.query(Child1): assert isinstance(c, Child1) for c in sess.query(Child2): assert isinstance(c, Child2) All the calls to assert isinstance(c, Child1) complete successfully. But once we start checking for Child2 - boom, we are still getting back Child1 instances. At first I wondered if I was misunderstanding SA's implementation of polymorphism, so tried inserting rows the traditional way with sess.add_all(). But that works fine so I think I've exposed a bug in the new bulk_save_objects() code. My environment is Python 3.5.1, SQLAlchemy==1.0.12, SQLite 3.8.10.2 on OSX. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
