def relationship(argument, secondary=None, **kwargs):
"""Provide a relationship of a primary Mapper to a secondary Mapper.
This corresponds to a parent-child or associative table relationship. The
constructed class is an instance of :class:`.RelationshipProperty`.
A typical :func:`.relationship`, used in a classical mapping::
mapper(Parent, properties={
'children': relationship(Child)
})
Some arguments accepted by :func:`.relationship` optionally accept a
callable function, which when called produces the desired value.
The callable is invoked by the parent :class:`.Mapper` at "mapper
initialization" time, which happens only when mappers are first used, and
is assumed to be after all mappings have been constructed. This can be
used to resolve order-of-declaration and other dependency issues, such as
if ``Child`` is declared below ``Parent`` in the same file::
mapper(Parent, properties={
"children":relationship(lambda: Child,
order_by=lambda: Child.id)
})
When using the :ref:`declarative_toplevel` extension, the Declarative
initializer allows string arguments to be passed to :func:`.relationship`.
These string arguments are converted into callables that evaluate
the string as Python code, using the Declarative
class-registry as a namespace. This allows the lookup of related
classes to be automatic via their string name, and removes the need to
import related classes at all into the local module space::
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
Base = declarative_base()
class Parent(Base):
__tablename__ = 'parent'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
children = relationship("Child", order_by="Child.id")
A full array of examples and reference documentation regarding
:func:`.relationship` is at :ref:`relationship_config_toplevel`.
:param argument:
a mapped class, or actual :class:`.Mapper` instance, representing the
target of the relationship.
``argument`` may also be passed as a callable function
which is evaluated at mapper initialization time, and may be passed as a
Python-evaluable string when using Declarative.
:param secondary:
for a many-to-many relationship, specifies the intermediary
table, and is an instance of :class:`.Table`. The ``secondary`` keyword
argument should generally only
be used for a table that is not otherwise expressed in any class
mapping, unless this relationship is declared as view only, otherwise
conflicting persistence operations can occur.
``secondary`` may
also be passed as a callable function which is evaluated at
mapper initialization time.
:param active_history=False:
When ``True``, indicates that the "previous" value for a
many-to-one reference should be loaded when replaced, if
not already loaded. Normally, history tracking logic for
simple many-to-ones only needs to be aware of the "new"
value in order to perform a flush. This flag is available
for applications that make use of
:func:`.attributes.get_history` which also need to know
the "previous" value of the attribute.
:param backref:
indicates the string name of a property to be placed on the related
mapper's class that will handle this relationship in the other
direction. The other property will be created automatically
when the mappers are configured. Can also be passed as a
:func:`backref` object to control the configuration of the
new relationship.
:param back_populates:
Takes a string name and has the same meaning as ``backref``,
except the complementing property is **not** created automatically,
and instead must be configured explicitly on the other mapper. The
complementing property should also indicate ``back_populates``
to this relationship to ensure proper functioning.
:param cascade:
a comma-separated list of cascade rules which determines how
Session operations should be "cascaded" from parent to child.
This defaults to ``False``, which means the default cascade
should be used. The default value is ``"save-update, merge"``.
Available cascades are:
* ``save-update`` - cascade the :meth:`.Session.add`
operation. This cascade applies both to future and
past calls to :meth:`~sqlalchemy.orm.session.Session.add`,
meaning new items added to a collection or scalar relationship
get placed into the same session as that of the parent, and
also applies to items which have been removed from this
relationship but are still part of unflushed history.
* ``merge`` - cascade the :meth:`~sqlalchemy.orm.session.Session.merge`
operation
* ``expunge`` - cascade the :meth:`.Session.expunge`
operation
* ``delete`` - cascade the :meth:`.Session.delete`
operation
* ``delete-orphan`` - if an item of the child's type is
detached from its parent, mark it for deletion.
.. versionchanged:: 0.7
This option does not prevent
a new instance of the child object from being persisted
without a parent to start with; to constrain against
that case, ensure the child's foreign key column(s)
is configured as NOT NULL
* ``refresh-expire`` - cascade the :meth:`.Session.expire`
and :meth:`~sqlalchemy.orm.session.Session.refresh` operations
* ``all`` - shorthand for "save-update,merge, refresh-expire,
expunge, delete"
See the section :ref:`unitofwork_cascades` for more background
on configuring cascades.
:param cascade_backrefs=True:
a boolean value indicating if the ``save-update`` cascade should
operate along an assignment event intercepted by a backref.
When set to ``False``,
the attribute managed by this relationship will not cascade
an incoming transient object into the session of a
persistent parent, if the event is received via backref.
That is::
mapper(A, a_table, properties={
'bs':relationship(B, backref="a", cascade_backrefs=False)
})
If an ``A()`` is present in the session, assigning it to
the "a" attribute on a transient ``B()`` will not place
the ``B()`` into the session. To set the flag in the other
direction, i.e. so that ``A().bs.append(B())`` won't add
a transient ``A()`` into the session for a persistent ``B()``::
mapper(A, a_table, properties={
'bs':relationship(B,
backref=backref("a", cascade_backrefs=False)
)
})
See the section :ref:`unitofwork_cascades` for more background
on configuring cascades.
:param collection_class:
a class or callable that returns a new list-holding object. will
be used in place of a plain list for storing elements.
Behavior of this attribute is described in detail at
:ref:`custom_collections`.
:param comparator_factory:
a class which extends :class:`.RelationshipProperty.Comparator` which
provides custom SQL clause generation for comparison operations.
:param distinct_target_key=False:
Indicate if a "subquery" eager load should apply the DISTINCT
keyword to the innermost SELECT statement. When set to ``None``,
the DISTINCT keyword will be applied in those cases when the target
columns do not comprise the full primary key of the target table.
When set to ``True``, the DISTINCT keyword is applied to the innermost
SELECT unconditionally.
This flag defaults as False in 0.8 but will default to None in 0.9.
It may be desirable to set this flag to False when the DISTINCT is
reducing performance of the innermost subquery beyond that of what
duplicate innermost rows may be causing.
.. versionadded:: 0.8.3 - distinct_target_key allows the
subquery eager loader to apply a DISTINCT modifier to the
innermost SELECT.
:param doc:
docstring which will be applied to the resulting descriptor.
:param extension:
an :class:`.AttributeExtension` instance, or list of extensions,
which will be prepended to the list of attribute listeners for
the resulting descriptor placed on the class.
**Deprecated.** Please see :class:`.AttributeEvents`.
:param foreign_keys:
a list of columns which are to be used as "foreign key" columns,
or columns which refer to the value in a remote column, within the
context of this :func:`.relationship` object's ``primaryjoin``
condition. That is, if the ``primaryjoin`` condition of this
:func:`.relationship` is ``a.id == b.a_id``, and the values in ``b.a_id``
are required to be present in ``a.id``, then the "foreign key" column
of this :func:`.relationship` is ``b.a_id``.
In normal cases, the ``foreign_keys`` parameter is **not required.**
:func:`.relationship` will **automatically** determine which columns
in the ``primaryjoin`` conditition are to be considered "foreign key"
columns based on those :class:`.Column` objects that specify
:class:`.ForeignKey`, or are otherwise listed as referencing columns
in a :class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint` construct. ``foreign_keys`` is only
needed when:
1. There is more than one way to construct a join from the local
table to the remote table, as there are multiple foreign key
references present. Setting ``foreign_keys`` will limit the
:func:`.relationship` to consider just those columns specified
here as "foreign".
.. versionchanged:: 0.8
A multiple-foreign key join ambiguity can be resolved by
setting the ``foreign_keys`` parameter alone, without the
need to explicitly set ``primaryjoin`` as well.
2. The :class:`.Table` being mapped does not actually have
:class:`.ForeignKey` or :class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint`
constructs present, often because the table
was reflected from a database that does not support foreign key
reflection (MySQL MyISAM).
3. The ``primaryjoin`` argument is used to construct a non-standard
join condition, which makes use of columns or expressions that do
not normally refer to their "parent" column, such as a join condition
expressed by a complex comparison using a SQL function.
The :func:`.relationship` construct will raise informative error messages
that suggest the use of the ``foreign_keys`` parameter when presented
with an ambiguous condition. In typical cases, if :func:`.relationship`
doesn't raise any exceptions, the ``foreign_keys`` parameter is usually
not needed.
``foreign_keys`` may also be passed as a callable function
which is evaluated at mapper initialization time, and may be passed as a
Python-evaluable string when using Declarative.
.. seealso::
:ref:`relationship_foreign_keys`
:ref:`relationship_custom_foreign`
:func:`.foreign` - allows direct annotation of the "foreign" columns
within a ``primaryjoin`` condition.
.. versionadded:: 0.8
The :func:`.foreign` annotation can also be applied
directly to the ``primaryjoin`` expression, which is an alternate,
more specific system of describing which columns in a particular
``primaryjoin`` should be considered "foreign".
:param info: Optional data dictionary which will be populated into the
:attr:`.MapperProperty.info` attribute of this object.
.. versionadded:: 0.8
:param innerjoin=False:
when ``True``, joined eager loads will use an inner join to join
against related tables instead of an outer join. The purpose
of this option is generally one of performance, as inner joins
generally perform better than outer joins. Another reason can be
the use of ``with_lockmode``, which does not support outer joins.
This flag can be set to ``True`` when the relationship references an
object via many-to-one using local foreign keys that are not nullable,
or when the reference is one-to-one or a collection that is guaranteed
to have one or at least one entry.
:param join_depth:
when non-``None``, an integer value indicating how many levels
deep "eager" loaders should join on a self-referring or cyclical
relationship. The number counts how many times the same Mapper
shall be present in the loading condition along a particular join
branch. When left at its default of ``None``, eager loaders
will stop chaining when they encounter a the same target mapper
which is already higher up in the chain. This option applies
both to joined- and subquery- eager loaders.
:param lazy='select': specifies
how the related items should be loaded. Default value is
``select``. Values include:
* ``select`` - items should be loaded lazily when the property is first
accessed, using a separate SELECT statement, or identity map
fetch for simple many-to-one references.
* ``immediate`` - items should be loaded as the parents are loaded,
using a separate SELECT statement, or identity map fetch for
simple many-to-one references.
.. versionadded:: 0.6.5
* ``joined`` - items should be loaded "eagerly" in the same query as
that of the parent, using a JOIN or LEFT OUTER JOIN. Whether
the join is "outer" or not is determined by the ``innerjoin``
parameter.
* ``subquery`` - items should be loaded "eagerly" as the parents are
loaded, using one additional SQL statement, which issues a JOIN to a
subquery of the original statement, for each collection requested.
* ``noload`` - no loading should occur at any time. This is to
support "write-only" attributes, or attributes which are
populated in some manner specific to the application.
* ``dynamic`` - the attribute will return a pre-configured
:class:`~sqlalchemy.orm.query.Query` object for all read
operations, onto which further filtering operations can be
applied before iterating the results. See
the section :ref:`dynamic_relationship` for more details.
* True - a synonym for 'select'
* False - a synonym for 'joined'
* None - a synonym for 'noload'
Detailed discussion of loader strategies is at :doc:`/orm/loading`.
:param load_on_pending=False:
Indicates loading behavior for transient or pending parent objects.
.. versionchanged:: 0.8
load_on_pending is superseded by
:meth:`.Session.enable_relationship_loading`.
When set to ``True``, causes the lazy-loader to
issue a query for a parent object that is not persistent, meaning it has
never been flushed. This may take effect for a pending object when
autoflush is disabled, or for a transient object that has been
"attached" to a :class:`.Session` but is not part of its pending
collection.
The load_on_pending flag does not improve behavior
when the ORM is used normally - object references should be constructed
at the object level, not at the foreign key level, so that they
are present in an ordinary way before flush() proceeds. This flag
is not not intended for general use.
.. versionadded:: 0.6.5
:param order_by:
indicates the ordering that should be applied when loading these
items. ``order_by`` is expected to refer to one of the :class:`.Column`
objects to which the target class is mapped, or
the attribute itself bound to the target class which refers
to the column.
``order_by`` may also be passed as a callable function
which is evaluated at mapper initialization time, and may be passed as a
Python-evaluable string when using Declarative.
:param passive_deletes=False:
Indicates loading behavior during delete operations.
A value of True indicates that unloaded child items should not
be loaded during a delete operation on the parent. Normally,
when a parent item is deleted, all child items are loaded so
that they can either be marked as deleted, or have their
foreign key to the parent set to NULL. Marking this flag as
True usually implies an ON DELETE <CASCADE|SET NULL> rule is in
place which will handle updating/deleting child rows on the
database side.
Additionally, setting the flag to the string value 'all' will
disable the "nulling out" of the child foreign keys, when there
is no delete or delete-orphan cascade enabled. This is
typically used when a triggering or error raise scenario is in
place on the database side. Note that the foreign key
attributes on in-session child objects will not be changed
after a flush occurs so this is a very special use-case
setting.
:param passive_updates=True:
Indicates loading and INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE behavior when the
source of a foreign key value changes (i.e. an "on update"
cascade), which are typically the primary key columns of the
source row.
When True, it is assumed that ON UPDATE CASCADE is configured on
the foreign key in the database, and that the database will
handle propagation of an UPDATE from a source column to
dependent rows. Note that with databases which enforce
referential integrity (i.e. PostgreSQL, MySQL with InnoDB tables),
ON UPDATE CASCADE is required for this operation. The
relationship() will update the value of the attribute on related
items which are locally present in the session during a flush.
When False, it is assumed that the database does not enforce
referential integrity and will not be issuing its own CASCADE
operation for an update. The relationship() will issue the
appropriate UPDATE statements to the database in response to the
change of a referenced key, and items locally present in the
session during a flush will also be refreshed.
This flag should probably be set to False if primary key changes
are expected and the database in use doesn't support CASCADE
(i.e. SQLite, MySQL MyISAM tables).
Also see the passive_updates flag on ``mapper()``.
A future SQLAlchemy release will provide a "detect" feature for
this flag.
:param post_update:
this indicates that the relationship should be handled by a
second UPDATE statement after an INSERT or before a
DELETE. Currently, it also will issue an UPDATE after the
instance was UPDATEd as well, although this technically should
be improved. This flag is used to handle saving bi-directional
dependencies between two individual rows (i.e. each row
references the other), where it would otherwise be impossible to
INSERT or DELETE both rows fully since one row exists before the
other. Use this flag when a particular mapping arrangement will
incur two rows that are dependent on each other, such as a table
that has a one-to-many relationship to a set of child rows, and
also has a column that references a single child row within that
list (i.e. both tables contain a foreign key to each other). If
a ``flush()`` operation returns an error that a "cyclical
dependency" was detected, this is a cue that you might want to
use ``post_update`` to "break" the cycle.
:param primaryjoin:
a SQL expression that will be used as the primary
join of this child object against the parent object, or in a
many-to-many relationship the join of the primary object to the
association table. By default, this value is computed based on the
foreign key relationships of the parent and child tables (or association
table).
``primaryjoin`` may also be passed as a callable function
which is evaluated at mapper initialization time, and may be passed as a
Python-evaluable string when using Declarative.
:param remote_side:
used for self-referential relationships, indicates the column or
list of columns that form the "remote side" of the relationship.
``remote_side`` may also be passed as a callable function
which is evaluated at mapper initialization time, and may be passed as a
Python-evaluable string when using Declarative.
.. versionchanged:: 0.8
The :func:`.remote` annotation can also be applied
directly to the ``primaryjoin`` expression, which is an alternate,
more specific system of describing which columns in a particular
``primaryjoin`` should be considered "remote".
:param query_class:
a :class:`.Query` subclass that will be used as the base of the
"appender query" returned by a "dynamic" relationship, that
is, a relationship that specifies ``lazy="dynamic"`` or was
otherwise constructed using the :func:`.orm.dynamic_loader`
function.
:param secondaryjoin:
a SQL expression that will be used as the join of
an association table to the child object. By default, this value is
computed based on the foreign key relationships of the association and
child tables.
``secondaryjoin`` may also be passed as a callable function
which is evaluated at mapper initialization time, and may be passed as a
Python-evaluable string when using Declarative.
:param single_parent=(True|False):
when True, installs a validator which will prevent objects
from being associated with more than one parent at a time.
This is used for many-to-one or many-to-many relationships that
should be treated either as one-to-one or one-to-many. Its
usage is optional unless delete-orphan cascade is also
set on this relationship(), in which case its required.
:param uselist=(True|False):
a boolean that indicates if this property should be loaded as a
list or a scalar. In most cases, this value is determined
automatically by ``relationship()``, based on the type and direction
of the relationship - one to many forms a list, many to one
forms a scalar, many to many is a list. If a scalar is desired
where normally a list would be present, such as a bi-directional
one-to-one relationship, set uselist to False.
:param viewonly=False:
when set to True, the relationship is used only for loading objects
within the relationship, and has no effect on the unit-of-work
flush process. Relationships with viewonly can specify any kind of
join conditions to provide additional views of related objects
onto a parent object. Note that the functionality of a viewonly
relationship has its limits - complicated join conditions may
not compile into eager or lazy loaders properly. If this is the
case, use an alternative method.

This function is typically used behind the scenes
via the Declarative extension. When using Declarative,
many of the usual :func:`.mapper` arguments are handled
by the Declarative extension itself, including ``class_``,
``local_table``, ``properties``, and ``inherits``.
Other options are passed to :func:`.mapper` using
the ``__mapper_args__`` class variable::
class MyClass(Base):
__tablename__ = 'my_table'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
type = Column(String(50))
alt = Column("some_alt", Integer)
__mapper_args__ = {
'polymorphic_on' : type
}
Explicit use of :func:`.mapper`
is often referred to as *classical mapping*. The above
declarative example is equivalent in classical form to::
my_table = Table("my_table", metadata,
Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True),
Column('type', String(50)),
Column("some_alt", Integer)
)
class MyClass(object):
pass

'alt':my_table.c.some_alt
})
See also:
:ref:`classical_mapping` - discussion of direct usage of
:func:`.mapper`
:param class\_: The class to be mapped. When using Declarative,
this argument is automatically passed as the declared class
itself.
:param local_table: The :class:`.Table` or other selectable
to which the class is mapped. May be ``None`` if
this mapper inherits from another mapper using single-table
inheritance. When using Declarative, this argument is
automatically passed by the extension, based on what
is configured via the ``__table__`` argument or via the
:class:`.Table` produced as a result of the ``__tablename__``
and :class:`.Column` arguments present.
:param always_refresh: If True, all query operations for this mapped
class will overwrite all data within object instances that already
exist within the session, erasing any in-memory changes with
whatever information was loaded from the database. Usage of this
flag is highly discouraged; as an alternative, see the method
:meth:`.Query.populate_existing`.
:param allow_partial_pks: Defaults to True. Indicates that a
composite primary key with some NULL values should be considered as
possibly existing within the database. This affects whether a
mapper will assign an incoming row to an existing identity, as well
as if :meth:`.Session.merge` will check the database first for a
particular primary key value. A "partial primary key" can occur if
one has mapped to an OUTER JOIN, for example.
:param batch: Defaults to ``True``, indicating that save operations
of multiple entities can be batched together for efficiency.
Setting to False indicates
that an instance will be fully saved before saving the next
instance. This is used in the extremely rare case that a
:class:`.MapperEvents` listener requires being called
in between individual row persistence operations.
:param column_prefix: A string which will be prepended
to the mapped attribute name when :class:`.Column`
objects are automatically assigned as attributes to the
mapped class. Does not affect explicitly specified
column-based properties.
See the section :ref:`column_prefix` for an example.
:param concrete: If True, indicates this mapper should use concrete
table inheritance with its parent mapper.
See the section :ref:`concrete_inheritance` for an example.
:param eager_defaults: if True, the ORM will immediately fetch the
value of server-generated default values after an INSERT or UPDATE,
rather than leaving them as expired to be fetched on next access.
This can be used for event schemes where the server-generated values
are needed immediately before the flush completes.
This scheme will emit an individual ``SELECT`` statement per row
inserted or updated, which note can add significant performance
overhead.
:param exclude_properties: A list or set of string column names to
be excluded from mapping.
See :ref:`include_exclude_cols` for an example.
:param extension: A :class:`.MapperExtension` instance or
list of :class:`.MapperExtension` instances which will be applied
to all operations by this :class:`.Mapper`. **Deprecated.**
Please see :class:`.MapperEvents`.
:param include_properties: An inclusive list or set of string column
names to map.
See :ref:`include_exclude_cols` for an example.
:param inherits: A mapped class or the corresponding :class:`.Mapper`
of one indicating a superclass to which this :class:`.Mapper`
should *inherit* from. The mapped class here must be a subclass
of the other mapper's class. When using Declarative, this argument
is passed automatically as a result of the natural class
hierarchy of the declared classes.
.. seealso::
:ref:`inheritance_toplevel`
:param inherit_condition: For joined table inheritance, a SQL
expression which will
define how the two tables are joined; defaults to a natural join
between the two tables.
:param inherit_foreign_keys: When ``inherit_condition`` is used and the
columns present are missing a :class:`.ForeignKey` configuration,
this parameter can be used to specify which columns are "foreign".
In most cases can be left as ``None``.
:param legacy_is_orphan: Boolean, defaults to ``False``.
When ``True``, specifies that "legacy" orphan consideration
is to be applied to objects mapped by this mapper, which means
that a pending (that is, not persistent) object is auto-expunged
from an owning :class:`.Session` only when it is de-associated
from *all* parents that specify a ``delete-orphan`` cascade towards
this mapper. The new default behavior is that the object is auto-expunged
when it is de-associated with *any* of its parents that specify
``delete-orphan`` cascade. This behavior is more consistent with
that of a persistent object, and allows behavior to be consistent
in more scenarios independently of whether or not an orphanable
object has been flushed yet or not.
See the change note and example at :ref:`legacy_is_orphan_addition`
for more detail on this change.
.. versionadded:: 0.8 - the consideration of a pending object as
an "orphan" has been modified to more closely match the
behavior as that of persistent objects, which is that the object
is expunged from the :class:`.Session` as soon as it is
de-associated from any of its orphan-enabled parents. Previously,
the pending object would be expunged only if de-associated
from all of its orphan-enabled parents. The new flag ``legacy_is_orphan``
is added to :func:`.orm.mapper` which re-establishes the
legacy behavior.
:param non_primary: Specify that this :class:`.Mapper` is in addition
to the "primary" mapper, that is, the one used for persistence.
The :class:`.Mapper` created here may be used for ad-hoc
mapping of the class to an alternate selectable, for loading
only.
The ``non_primary`` feature is rarely needed with modern
usage.
:param order_by: A single :class:`.Column` or list of :class:`.Column`
objects for which selection operations should use as the default
ordering for entities. By default mappers have no pre-defined
ordering.
:param passive_updates: Indicates UPDATE behavior of foreign key
columns when a primary key column changes on a joined-table
inheritance mapping. Defaults to ``True``.
When True, it is assumed that ON UPDATE CASCADE is configured on
the foreign key in the database, and that the database will handle
propagation of an UPDATE from a source column to dependent columns
on joined-table rows.
When False, it is assumed that the database does not enforce
referential integrity and will not be issuing its own CASCADE
operation for an update. The :class:`.Mapper` here will
emit an UPDATE statement for the dependent columns during a
primary key change.
.. seealso::
:ref:`passive_updates` - description of a similar feature as
used with :func:`.relationship`
:param polymorphic_on: Specifies the column, attribute, or
SQL expression used to determine the target class for an
incoming row, when inheriting classes are present.
This value is commonly a :class:`.Column` object that's
present in the mapped :class:`.Table`::
class Employee(Base):
__tablename__ = 'employee'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
discriminator = Column(String(50))
__mapper_args__ = {
"polymorphic_on":discriminator,
"polymorphic_identity":"employee"
}
It may also be specified
as a SQL expression, as in this example where we
use the :func:`.case` construct to provide a conditional
approach::
class Employee(Base):
__tablename__ = 'employee'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
discriminator = Column(String(50))
__mapper_args__ = {
"polymorphic_on":case([
(discriminator == "EN", "engineer"),
(discriminator == "MA", "manager"),
], else_="employee"),
"polymorphic_identity":"employee"
}
It may also refer to any attribute
configured with :func:`.column_property`, or to the
string name of one::
class Employee(Base):
__tablename__ = 'employee'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
discriminator = Column(String(50))
employee_type = column_property(
case([
(discriminator == "EN", "engineer"),
(discriminator == "MA", "manager"),
], else_="employee")
)
__mapper_args__ = {
"polymorphic_on":employee_type,
"polymorphic_identity":"employee"
}
.. versionchanged:: 0.7.4
``polymorphic_on`` may be specified as a SQL expression,
or refer to any attribute configured with
:func:`.column_property`, or to the string name of one.
When setting ``polymorphic_on`` to reference an
attribute or expression that's not present in the
locally mapped :class:`.Table`, yet the value
of the discriminator should be persisted to the database,
the value of the
discriminator is not automatically set on new
instances; this must be handled by the user,
either through manual means or via event listeners.
A typical approach to establishing such a listener
looks like::
from sqlalchemy import event
from sqlalchemy.orm import object_mapper
@event.listens_for(Employee, "init", propagate=True)
def set_identity(instance, *arg, **kw):
mapper = object_mapper(instance)
instance.discriminator = mapper.polymorphic_identity
Where above, we assign the value of ``polymorphic_identity``
for the mapped class to the ``discriminator`` attribute,
thus persisting the value to the ``discriminator`` column
in the database.
.. seealso::
:ref:`inheritance_toplevel`
:param polymorphic_identity: Specifies the value which
identifies this particular class as returned by the
column expression referred to by the ``polymorphic_on``
setting. As rows are received, the value corresponding
to the ``polymorphic_on`` column expression is compared
to this value, indicating which subclass should
be used for the newly reconstructed object.
:param properties: A dictionary mapping the string names of object
attributes to :class:`.MapperProperty` instances, which define the
persistence behavior of that attribute. Note that :class:`.Column`
objects present in
the mapped :class:`.Table` are automatically placed into
``ColumnProperty`` instances upon mapping, unless overridden.
When using Declarative, this argument is passed automatically,
based on all those :class:`.MapperProperty` instances declared
in the declared class body.
:param primary_key: A list of :class:`.Column` objects which define the
primary key to be used against this mapper's selectable unit.
This is normally simply the primary key of the ``local_table``, but
can be overridden here.
:param version_id_col: A :class:`.Column`
that will be used to keep a running version id of rows
in the table. This is used to detect concurrent updates or
the presence of stale data in a flush. The methodology is to
detect if an UPDATE statement does not match the last known
version id, a
:class:`~sqlalchemy.orm.exc.StaleDataError` exception is
thrown.
By default, the column must be of :class:`.Integer` type,
unless ``version_id_generator`` specifies an alternative version
generator.
.. seealso::
:ref:`mapper_version_counter` - discussion of version counting
and rationale.
:param version_id_generator: Define how new version ids should
be generated. Defaults to ``None``, which indicates that
a simple integer counting scheme be employed. To provide a custom
versioning scheme, provide a callable function of the form::
def generate_version(version):
return next_version
.. seealso::
:ref:`custom_version_counter`
:param with_polymorphic: A tuple in the form ``(<classes>,
<selectable>)`` indicating the default style of "polymorphic"
loading, that is, which tables are queried at once. <classes> is
any single or list of mappers and/or classes indicating the
inherited classes that should be loaded at once. The special value
``'*'`` may be used to indicate all descending classes should be
loaded immediately. The second tuple argument <selectable>
indicates a selectable that will be used to query for multiple
classes.

undefer(MyClass.attribute_one),
undefer(MyClass.attribute_two))
A "path" can be specified onto a related or collection object using a
dotted name. The :func:`.orm.undefer` option will be applied to that
object when loaded::
query(MyClass).options(
undefer("related.attribute_one"),
undefer("related.attribute_two"))
To specify a path via class, send multiple arguments::
query(MyClass).options(
undefer(MyClass.related, MyOtherClass.attribute_one),
undefer(MyClass.related, MyOtherClass.attribute_two))
See also:
:func:`.orm.undefer_group` as a means to "undefer" a group
of attributes at once.
:ref:`deferred`
:param \*key: A key representing an individual path. Multiple entries
are accepted to allow a multiple-token path for a single target, not
multiple targets.
