Hello,
I'm following the documentation for reflecting database
tables using `automap`:
http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/orm/extensions/automap.html#generating-mappings-from-an-existing-metadata
<http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/orm/extensions/automap.html#generating-mappings-from-an-existing-metadata>.
When I don't specific a schema, and Postgres uses the
default `public` schema, this works as expected, and I find
the names of my tables:
>>> m = MetaData()
>>> b = automap_base(bind=engine, metadata=m)
>>> b.prepare(engine, reflect=True)
>>> b.classes.keys()
['ads', 'spatial_ref_sys', 'income']
But when I specific an explicit schema, I don't have access
to the tables in `Base.classes` anymore.
>>> m = MetaData(schema='geography')
>>> b = automap_base(bind=engine, metadata=m)
>>> b.prepare(engine, reflect=True)
>>> b.classes.keys()
[]
The MetaData reflected correctly though:
>>> b.metadata.tables
immutabledict({geography.usa_cbsa_centroids':
Table('usa_cbsa_centroids',
MetaData(bind=Engine(postgresql://asteroids:***@localhost:5432/asteroids)),
Column('GEOID', VARCHAR(length=5), table=<u
sa_cbsa_centroids>, nullable=False), ...})
Note that the tables and columns are only known at runtime.
Here's a demo that works for me. Does it work for you? Do
all your tables have primary keys defined?
from sqlalchemy.ext.automap import automap_base
from sqlalchemy.orm import Session
from sqlalchemy import create_engine, MetaData
engine =
create_engine("postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test",
echo=True)
engine.execute("""
create table if not exists test_schema.user (
id serial primary key, name varchar(30)
)
""")
engine.execute("""
create table if not exists test_schema.address (
id serial primary key,
email_address varchar(30),
user_id integer references test_schema.user(id)
)
""")
m = MetaData(schema="test_schema")
Base = automap_base(bind=engine, metadata=m)
# reflect the tables
Base.prepare(engine, reflect=True)
assert Base.classes.keys() == ['user', 'address']
User = Base.classes.user
Address = Base.classes.address
session = Session(engine)
session.add(Address(email_address="[email protected]",
user=User(name="foo")))
session.commit()
u1 = session.query(User).first()
print(u1.address_collection)
Any thoughts?
This is duplicated from

feel free to answer there as well.
Thanks,
