Dear List,
I have an issue with single table inheritance and sqlalchemy
version 0.5.2. Specifically, I want to disable polymorphic load when
querying over a set of objects that are within a single-table-
inheritance. The normal way of using 'with_polymorphic(cls)' does not
seem to work properly here (the three queries at the end of the
provided code all return the same list of objects).
I would be grateful if someone could read the short piece of code
and give me advice for how to retrieve only the 'Jon Doe' object of
the base class with the query. Thanks a lot.
