Hi,

I read carefully the documentation at
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/orm/inheritance.html and I'd like to
implement a similar joined table inheritance for my application.

The following example is provided :

*mapper(Employee, employees, polymorphic_on=employees.c.type,
polymorphic_identity='employee')*
*mapper(Engineer, engineers, inherits=Employee,
polymorphic_identity='engineer')*
*mapper(Manager, managers, inherits=Employee,
polymorphic_identity='manager')*
*
*
However in my case I don't want to be able to persist some random Employee.
All my employees should be engineers or managers. Ideally some exception
should be thrown if I try to add an Employee object to my session.

Of course, I'd still like to be able to persist Engineers and Managers with
the right type.

Is there a way to achieve that ?

Thanks a lot !
Franck
