I'd like to run a data migration on a live server, but only update rows if
the data hasn't changed since I've read it, and would like to do so
optimistically, so without locking the row. Doing so like below works and
prevents me updating rows that have changed since I last read the row.
Session.query(MyModel).filter_by(foo=old_foo_value).filter_by(bar=old_bar_value).update({'foo':
new_foo_value})
While the approach works, it doesn't use the ORM. (I use an after_flush
hook to inspect & log changes from dirty instances in the session).
Is there a way to update an ORM instance conditionally like above?
Kindest Regards,
Tim
