So how would you solve it?
I tried defining two foriegn keys:
class Link(Base):
__tablename__ = 'links'
node_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('nodes.id'))
node_id2 = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('nodes.id'))
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
type = Column(String)
fro = relation(Node, order_by=node_id, backref="links_out")
to = relation(Node, order_by=node_id2, backref="links_in")
but got:
sqlalchemy.exc.ArgumentError: Could not determine join condition
between parent/
child tables on relation Link.fro. Specify a 'primaryjoin'
expression. If this
is a many-to-many relation, 'secondaryjoin' is needed as well.
Is a primaryjoin necessary then?
I've tried to look-up the solution, but couldn't find any.
Thanks!
