Hi All,
A noob question, that I've been struggling with off and on for a while. I'm
pretty sure that I'm missing something obvious...
I'm creating tables and their entries "on the fly" programmatically, and
need to control the table names.
I understand how to define declarative classes as follows:
Base = declarative_base()
levels_name = "foobar"
class Level(Base):
__tablename__ = levels_name
height = Column(Float)
That works well when the static string "foobar" is in the class definition
module.
What I can't figure out is how to name a table at "construction time" with
a dynamic string. In other words, how do I specify a tablename when I first
_use_ a declarative class?
A perfect scenario for me would be something like:
Base = declarative_base()
class Level(Base):
height = Column(Float)
lvl = Level.set_tablename('foobar')
lvl.height = 100.
and have that show up in a table 'foobar', but I can't figure out any way
to code set_tablename() ...
In case it matters, my backend is Postgres 9.4.0.1 ...
What am I missing?
TIA for any advice!
