python - SQLAlchemy:按关系中的关系字段排序

Question

在我正在处理的 Pyramid 应用程序中，我有以下场景:

class Widget(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'widgets'
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = Column(String(50))
    sidebar = Column(mysql.TINYINT(2))

    def __init__(self, name, sidebar):
        self.name = name
        self.sidebar = sidebar

class Dashboard(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'dashboard'
    user_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('users.id'), primary_key=True)
    widget_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('widgets.id'), primary_key=True)
    delta = Column(mysql.TINYINT)

    widget = relationship('Widget')

    def __init__(self, user_id, widget_id, delta):
        self.user_id = user_id
        self.widget_id = widget_id
        self.delta = delta 

class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'users'
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    login = Column(Unicode(255), unique=True)
    password = Column(Unicode(60))
    fullname = Column(Unicode(100))

    dashboard = relationship('Dashboard', order_by='Dashboard.widget.sidebar, Dashboard.delta')

    def __init__(self, login, password, fullname):
        self.login = login
        self.password = crypt.encode(password)
        self.fullname = fullname

因此，我希望用户“仪表板”关系具有用户的仪表板记录，但按“侧边栏”(这是仪表板的关系属性)排序。目前我收到此错误:

sqlalchemy.exc.InvalidRequestError: Property 'widget' is not an instance of ColumnProperty (i.e. does not correspond directly to a Column).

这种排序在关系声明中可能吗？

谢谢!

有了这个，试着想一想 SQLAlchemy 在尝试加载 User.dashboard 时应该发出什么。喜欢 SELECT * FROM dashboard JOIN widget ... ORDER BY widget.sidebar 吗？或者 SELECT * FROM dashboard ORDER BY (SELECT sidebar FROM widget... ？用不同的表排序结果对于 relationship() 来说太开放了自己决定。完成此操作的方法是根据 Dashboard 提供列表达式，当 ORM 发出针对仪表板表的简单 SELECT 时，以及它何时在不太简单的 SELECT 中引用它，它可能会同时跨用户、仪表板表加入(例如，预先加载)。

我们使用 column_property() 提供自定义 SQL 表达式，尤其是那些涉及其他表的表达式，或者使用 deferred()当我们不希望默认加载该表达式时(这里很可能就是这种情况)。示例:

from sqlalchemy import *
from sqlalchemy.orm import *
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base


Base = declarative_base()

class Widget(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'widgets'
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = Column(String(50))
    sidebar = Column(Integer)

class Dashboard(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'dashboard'
    user_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('users.id'), primary_key=True)
    widget_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('widgets.id'), primary_key=True)
    delta = Column(Integer)

    widget = relationship('Widget')

    widget_sidebar = deferred(select([Widget.sidebar]).where(Widget.id == widget_id))

class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'users'
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    login = Column(Unicode(255), unique=True)

    dashboard = relationship('Dashboard', order_by='Dashboard.widget_sidebar, Dashboard.delta')


e = create_engine("sqlite://", echo=True)
Base.metadata.create_all(e)

s = Session(e)

w1, w2 = Widget(name='w1', sidebar=1), Widget(name='w2', sidebar=2)
s.add_all([
    User(login='u1', dashboard=[
        Dashboard(
            delta=1, widget=w1
        ),
        Dashboard(
            delta=2, widget=w2
        )
    ]),
])
s.commit()

print s.query(User).first().dashboard

“.dashboard”加载发出的最终 SQL 是:

SELECT dashboard.user_id AS dashboard_user_id, dashboard.widget_id AS dashboard_widget_id, dashboard.delta AS dashboard_delta 
FROM dashboard 
WHERE ? = dashboard.user_id ORDER BY (SELECT widgets.sidebar 
FROM widgets 
WHERE widgets.id = dashboard.widget_id), dashboard.delta

请记住，MySQL 对上述子查询的优化工作很糟糕。如果您在这里需要高性能，您可能会考虑将“sidebar”的值复制到“dashboard”中，即使这会使一致性更难维护。
