Hello Michael
Sorry for the late reply.
So, below is my full stack trace:

sqlalchemy.exc.IntegrityError: (IntegrityError) null value in column
"taxon_id" violates not-null constraint
'UPDATE botany.plant SET taxon_id=%(taxon_id)s WHERE botany.plant.id =
%(botany_plant_id)s' {'taxon_id': None, 'botany_plant_id': -2147483643}
I guess it correspond to what you mentioned.
I have tried to use what you told :
with session.no_autoflush:
plant.taxon = taxon_new
...and it works fine.
But the thing is that I don't need it in case I comment out the line :
taxon_old = session.query(Taxon).get(-2147483634)
and the test:
print plant.taxon is taxon_old # True
It seems that the problems occurs because the taxon_old is already loaded
in the identity map so the taxon.plant of the already loaded taxon_old must
be changed to reflect the change made by the below line:
plant.taxon = taxon_new # triggers an IntegrityError
This is totally understandable.
However, I get confused by SQLAlchemy trying to set taxon_id to NULL or
even worse, by SQLAlchemy trying to delete the plant if I configure a
"cascade='all, delete-orphan'" on the backref side of the relationship. I
understand that it might not be "easy" for SQLAlchemy to understand what I
am trying to do, but the fact that I end up with two different results
depending on whether or not taxon_old is previously loaded is confusing.
Anyway, SQLAlchemy is still very impressive and never ceases to amaze me
every day I discover new features. Thank you for that.
