Hi everybody,

In my project, I would like to use a table setup similar to the following one:

users= Table('users', metadata,
    Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True),
    Column('name', String(50)),
    ...
)

user_data = Table('user_data', metadata,
    Column('id', Integer, ForeignKey("contexts.id"), primary_key=True),
    Column('password', String(20)),
    ...
)

It is a one to one-relationship, because each user only has one user_data 
column. It would be nice, if I could map this kind of relationship in a way 
similar to the one-to-one example of the documentation. So, in my corresponding 
User-object, I would like to be able to access the userData part like this, for 
example:

user.userData.password

But, when I map my one-to-one relation like this:

UserData.mapper = mapper(UserData, user_data, properties = {
                    'id' : user_data.c.id,
                    'password' : user_data.c.password,
                    }
                )

User.mapper = mapper(User, users, properties = {
                    'id' : users.c.id,
                    'name' : users.c.name,
                    'userData' : relation(UserData,
                                          cascade="all, delete-orphan")
                    }
                )

then the mapper interpretes the relationship as one-to-many, thus mapping 
userData with a list like behaviour, for example:
user.userData[0].password

This is just a minor issue for me, but still... is there maybe an easy way to 
tell the mapper that it is a one-to-one relationship and not one-to-many?
(I would like to avoid generating a separate primary key for my user_data (in 
contrast to the user_preferences example of the docs))

... oh, and a second short question: is the SmallInteger column type broken?

Thanks and cheers,
Martin
