Let's say I have a table 'user', and for backwards compatibility reasons I
have a single-column table named 'user_active' which is basically just a
foreign key used as a boolean flag. I need my User model to have the
'active' field as a boolean mapped to that one-to-one relationship. So, I
have something like this:
class User(db.Model):
__tablename__ = 'user'
user_id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
# ... other fields
active = relationship('UserActive', backref='user', uselist=False)
class UserActive(db.Model)
__tablename__ = 'user_active'
user_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('user.user_id')
Using the simple relationship like that returns either the UserActive
instance, or None, which isn't ideal as True or False but works fine in any
boolean context. My problem is assignment and querying. How can can I get
it to work in a way that setting User.active = True creates the new
UserActive instance, and querying for User.active == True works as a join,
not a subquery?
