What if I don't have access to session? I receive obj (mapped SQLA class instance) as an argument to a method.
What I actually would like to do is add a method to the class that does the raw query like so: class MyClass(object): def __init__(self, arg1, arg2): self.arg1 = arg1 self.arg2 = arg2 @property def fetchOutsideAtts(self): con = getConnection(self) # How do I do this. con.execute(select fields from table where id = ?) ... return atts Is it possible to do this?
