I ended up settling for this:
@hybrid_property
def ancestors(self):
session = inspect(self).session
cte = session.query(P2B) \
.filter(P2B.id == self.id) \
.cte(name='cte', recursive=True)
cte = cte.union(
session.query(P2B)
.filter(P2B.id == cte.c.parent_id)
)
return session.query(cte).all()
And each time I call child.ancestors, the SQL CTE RECURSIVE is issued (of
course!?)
Thanks again for all your help Mike!
