this message is referring to the difference between *Python* types and *SQLAlchemy* types. A SQLAlchemy type is like "sqlalchemy.Uuid" as you are using. The Python type is the Python UUID type: https://docs.python.org/3/library/uuid.html#uuid.UUID the default lookup is documented here: https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/20/orm/declarative_tables.html#mapped-column-derives-the-datatype-and-nullability-from-the-mapped-annotation so you would want import uuid class XYZ(...): # ... id: Mapped[uuid.UUID] = mapped_column(...) > > I have a Caregiver table, for which id is a PostgreSQL UUID, and a Match > Event table holding 2 fields which use the Caregiver id as foreign key.
