Hi Michael,
Thanks for the speedy reply!
That makes sense.
Ok - so in this case, how would we actually get sqlalchemy to return N
distinct 'content' items, rather than N content-plus-joined-table sets?
All the results have full primary keys, so its more likely they are being
de-duped.
Thank you,
Damian
