Hello,

I am struggling with this case and so far, I haven't seen on documentation 
or on the different posts, a way to solve my problem.

Firstly, I cannot have a ForeignKey linking Child to Parent because Parent 
has a polymorphic identity, and PostgreSQL is not dealing with ForeignKey 
in such cases. Let's say ParentA is a Parent. 

So I have to define relationship between Child and Parent "manually"

Thus, I have this :

class Child(SaBaseClass): 
     
    parent_id = Column(Integer, index=True, nullable=True)

    parent = relationship('Parent', primaryjoin='foreign(Child.parent_id) 
== Parent.id', lazy='joined', uselist=False, foreign_keys='Child.parent_id')

class Parent(SaBaseClass):

    children = relationship('Child', primaryjoin='Child.parent_id == 
foreign(Parent.id), backref='children', cascade='all, delete-orphan', 
uselist=True, lazy='joined', single_parent=True)


So a child is linked to only one parent, and a parent can be linked to 
several children, and when I delete a Child instance I would like to 
"unlink" it from its Parent. When trying to delete a child instance I get 
"Dependency rule tried to blank-out primary key column parent.id on 
instance 'ParentA', which makes me think it's trying to delete Parent 
instance...

If someone has a clue of what's wrong with my definition of the 
relationship, thanks in advance for your help !
