No worries and thanks for the suggestions/advice so far.
Tbh I tried the mixin approach first as described in the docs but had
problems when trying to query anything on the 2nd class.
This is a boiled down version of what I tried:
import sqlalchemy as sa
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker, relationship
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base, DeferredReflection
e = sa.create_engine("sqlite://", echo=True)
e.execute("""
create table country (
country_id integer primary key
)
""")
e.execute("""
create table user (
user_id integer primary key
)
""")
Base = declarative_base(cls=DeferredReflection)
Base2 = declarative_base(cls=DeferredReflection)
# exists in PROD & DEV
class Country(Base):
__tablename__ = 'country'
# exists only in PROD
class User(Base2):
__tablename__ = 'user'
country_id = sa.Column(sa.Integer,
sa.ForeignKey('country.country_id'))
country = relationship("Country", uselist=False)
class MyModel(object):
def __init__(self, env):
self._engine = e
# Base.metadata.bind = self._engine - binding at this level didn't
help :(
if env == "DEV":
Base2.metadata.bind = self._engine
Base2.prepare(self._engine)
Base.metadata.bind = self._engine
Base.prepare(self._engine)
def create_session_maker(self):
return sessionmaker(bind=self._engine)
# This code is run in another module.
mymodel = MyModel("PROD")
Session = mymodel.create_session_maker()
session = Session()
session.query(Country).count()
session.query(User).count()
And the result:

plain returns' AS VARCHAR(60)) AS anon_1

I'm pretty sure I also tried the abstract approach with similar results.
Perhaps I'm binding incorrectly?
