Hi,

I'm trying to write a piece of code that would fetch the first event 
belonging to an entity, when there might be many events associated:

class Entity(Model):

    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)

    events = db.relationship('Event', backref=backref('entity'))


class Event(Model):

    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    timestamp = db.Column(db.Float, primary_key=True)

    entity_id = db.Column(db.ForeignKey(Entity.id))


I'm basically looking to implement something along the lines of this query:
SELECT  entity.*,
        event.id
FROM    entity
OUTER JOIN event
ON      event.id =
        (
        SELECT  TOP 1 id
        FROM    event e
        WHERE   e.entity_id = entity.id
        ORDER BY timestamp
        )


But I have no idea how to achieve this with SQLAlchemy's ORM. I tried 
playing with column_property for a bit, but couldn't wrap my head around it.

If anybody can provide any leads or explanations on how to do this I would 
be most grateful.

Thanks in advance
