Hi there -

I'm having trouble working with backrefs of detached objects.
I'm basically working with a extended version of the code below:

|
classConfig(Base):
    __tablename__ ='config'

    ID =Column('ID',Integer,primary_key=True)
    name =Column('name',String)
last_modified =Column('last_modified',DateTime,default=now,onupdate=now)

params=relationship('ConfigParam',backref='config',lazy=False)

classConfigParam(Base):

    __tablename__ ='config_params'

    ID =Column('ID',Integer,primary_key=True)
ConfigID=Column('ConfigID',Integer,ForeignKey('config.ID'),nullable=False)

    key =Column('key',String)
    value =Column('value',Float)
|

Now when I load a Config instance I'd have assumed that Config.params[0].config should be populated - since the eager query contains all necessary information.
A load that can be resolved to using the session's identity map instead of SELECT is still a load nonetheless. You would need a lazy setting on the backref as well. Since these are many-to-ones and the lazyload pulls from identity map, I suggest "immediate".

Using these settings at the mapping level does mean however that if you load a ConfigParam object by itself, it will, for a clean session, immediately issue a second SELECT statement for its Config object.




Testing this with a sqlite engine using the following code:

|

    s =Session()
    c =Config(name='my_config')
    c.params+=[ConfigParam(key='a',value=1),
ConfigParam(key='b',value=2)]
    s.add(c)
    s.commit()
    s.close()
delc

# reload from new session:
    logging.info('\n\n')
    logging.info('Starting with new session:')
    s =Session()
    c =s.query(Config).filter(Config.name=='my_config').one()
    s.close()
forp inc.params:
        logging.info('Params:%s = %s'%(p.key,p.value))
forp inc.params:
        logging.info('backref: config = %s'%p.config)
|

however produces (omitting the create_all) the following output:

I'm somewhat new to ORM's -
naively I had assumed the backref should/could be loaded at the same time the parent is eagerly loaded, since all required information is retrieved in the above query.
Is there anything I'm missing here?

ps: This is on sqlalchemy 0.9.8 - if that should matter.
