How to Programming with Flask-sqlalchemy

python,flask,sqlalchemy,flask-sqlalchemy,sqlalchemy-migrate

You don't have to built your entire query in one line. You can build it as you go. query = Company.query if size: query = query.filter(Company.size == size) if industry_id: query = query.filter(Company.industry_id == industry_id) result = query.all() If you feel like this is too verbose, you could build a...

Python/SQLAlchemy migration - ValueError: need more than 3 values to unpack when migrating

What is the relationship() function used for in SQLAlchemy

python,flask,flask-sqlalchemy,flask-login,babel

relationship does not affect the database schema. It provides a convenient way to access related objects. In this instance it allows you to all Child objects that are related to a Parent through the children attribute. backref then adds a parent attribute to all Child objects. By default, related objects...

Flask-Babel do not translate anything in a web project

because the actual locale name parsed by babel is "zh_Hans_CN", name your translation directory to be "zh_Hans_CN", and it will be found.

How to create a user 'programmatically' with Flask-user extension?

flask,jinja2,flask-sqlalchemy,jinja

That's how it basically works: user = User() user.username = request.json['username'] user.first_name = request.json['first_name'] user.last_name = request.json['last_name'] user.email = request.json['email'] user.password = user_manager.hash_password(request.json['password']) db.session.add(user) db.session.commit() ...

UndefinedError: 'user' is undefined

In user.html you call the variable contact. You probably want to call it user. {% for user in contact %} You'll also need to update the references to contact.id and contact.name. ...

Flask-SQLAlchemy close connection

postgresql,flask,sqlalchemy,flask-sqlalchemy

SQLAlchemy sets up a pool of connections that will remain opened for performance reasons. The PostgreSQL has a max_connections config option. If you are exceeding that value, you need to either lower your pool count or raise the max connection count. Given that the default max is 100, and you've...

SQLAlchemy sum of a column btw 2 dates

sqlalchemy,flask-sqlalchemy

start_date, end_date = date(2014, 2, 1), date(2014, 3, 31) q = (db.session.query( db.func.sum(Income.amount).label("total_amount"),) # @note: any of the three below should do the job: .filter(Income.date >= start_date).filter(Income.date <= end_date) # .filter(Income.date.between(start_date, end_date)) # .filter(between(Income.date, start_date, end_date)) # first do: from sqlalchemy.sql.expression import between ) ...

display friends name by Flask Many-to-many sqlalchemy

python,flask,jinja2,flask-sqlalchemy,jinja

The name you've chosen, is_friend, is probably causing some of your confusion. Something like friends is a bit clearer. You also don't need the back reference as each User already has the relationship. class User(db.Model): id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key = True) name = db.Column(db.String(50), index=True, unique= True) email = db.Column(db.String(50),index=True,...

Flask with SQLAlchemy tables doesn't link

python,mysql,flask,foreign-keys,flask-sqlalchemy

Check out the SQLAlchemy Documentation : Building a Relationship I haven't tried with FLASK but It should works using relationship....

Flask foreign_keys still shows AmbiguousForeignKeysError

Finally, I got the workaround after trying to figure out. In my case, I don't have to put backref in Review class. Instead, I should put the User backref in User class itself. So, it should look like below class Review(db.Model): __tablename__ = 'Review' id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key = True)...

SQLAlchemy relationships, when to use which relationship?

python,sqlite,flask,sqlalchemy,flask-sqlalchemy

Having db.relationship is very helpful in some cases and can help you to avoid long queries. For example Without db.relationship: role = ... # some role Session.query(User).filter_by(role_id=role.role_id).all() Versus with db.relationship: role = ... # some role role.users Concerning relationship options, most useful for you is probably backref. It creates back...

Best association approach to connect Sensor model to others

sqlalchemy,flask-sqlalchemy

After two days of experiments I have came to final conclusion. Examples have been taken from this source. "Discriminator on association" (candidate for answer): (+) has backward reference (?) can have 1 parent object (-) complexity "Generic Foreign Key": (+) low complexity (+) has backward reference (?) can have 1...

Flask-SQLAlchemy - How to append a value to a column?

python-3.x,flask,sqlalchemy,flask-sqlalchemy

Your models definitions are not what you really want. User.classes_id defines exactly one value. Right answer depends of requirements. What type of relationships must be there? Many User to many Classes (M:M)? In this case you would create models like: user_to_classes = Table('user_to_classes', Base.metadata, Column('class_id', Integer, ForeignKey('class.id')), Column('user_id', Integer, ForeignKey('user.id'))...

SQLAlchemy: How to use order_by based on a calculated value?

python,flask,sqlalchemy,flask-sqlalchemy,flask-wtforms

Even with SqlAlchemy, you have to think in sets of objects and their values. The query you want involves three different sets: Users, their correct answers and their total answers. Want you want is a query like that (warning, that's just a sample, you could write it much better) select...

Does db.create_all() check if the database exists?

flask,flask-sqlalchemy

The method only creates tables; so it is up to you to make sure the database is already created. The database has to exist and if the table already exists, you'll receive an error from the database. It will not overwrite or delete tables....

SQLAlchemy with Flask does not commit

You should add else statement: if form.validate_on_submit(): ... else: for error in form.errors.itervalues(): flash(error[0]) When you will get error message from form....

Flask-SQLAlchemy “MySQL server has gone away” when using HAproxy

python,mysql,flask,flask-sqlalchemy,haproxy

Just to tidy up this question with an answer I'll post what I (think I) did to solve the issues. Problem 1: HAproxy Either increase the HAproxy client timeout value (globally, or in the frontend definition) to a value longer than what MySQL is set to reset on (see this...

one-to-many append attribute error

python-3.x,flask,sqlalchemy,flask-sqlalchemy

You configured the relationship incorrectly. Your picture_ids column will not work for a one to many relationship, since you can only store a single picture_id in that column. So remove that column and use this to set up the gallery: gallery = db.relationship('Picture', backref=db.backref('post', uselist=False)) Then you can remove the...

Flask and sqlalchemy: Get uploaded file using path stored on database

python,flask,flask-sqlalchemy,flask-wtforms

Well, It's strange but I will answer my own question. The solution is simple, I chose to store only the file names inside the database. Then I created a route to a view that will return the file using the send_from_directory function from flask.ext.uploads @app.route('/boxart/<filename>') def uploaded_boxart(filename): return send_from_directory(app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'],filename) So,...

Get inserted key before commit session

You could use flush() to flush changes to the database and thus have your primary-key field updated: parent = Parent() db.session.add(parent) db.session.flush() print parent.id # after flush(), parent object would be automatically # assigned with a unique primary key to its id field child = Child() child.parent_id = parent.id db.session.add(child)...

scoped_session object has no attribute 'create_all'

It's connection.create_all(), you added session in the middle. Unrelated to the immediate problem, there are other things that don't look right. You don't need to commit after running create_all. The extension instance is usually named db. The DB class does nothing, just write your create_all function on its own. You...

Adding columns from joined table

python,orm,flask,sqlalchemy,flask-sqlalchemy

I found the solution. The correct way of querying should be: models.Detail.query.join(details_usages).add_columns(details_usages.c.is_required).all() ...

q = db.session.query(Phrase.content, Meaning.content).join(Meaning).all() ...

Cannot access db when running code from Interactive Console

python,google-app-engine,flask,sqlalchemy,flask-sqlalchemy

You need to be in an app context (or a request context) to access application bound objects. An easy way to achieve this is to use Flask-Script, which provides a shell command that sets up the application for you. Or use Flask's integration with Click if you are using the...

How to form complex mysql query that has left outer join, aggregate data with group by using SQLAlchemy?

How can I programmatically set the 'target_metadata' required by Alembic for use with the command API?

python,sqlalchemy,database-migration,flask-sqlalchemy,alembic

The long answer is that you don't set metadata there, you set it when creating the MigrationContext. Which requires that you create a Config, then a ScriptDirectory, then an EnvironmentContext first. Then you need to use these objects correctly when running revisions to set up the environment yourself. The short...

Flask-SQLAlchemy Query Join relational tables

join,flask,sqlalchemy,flask-sqlalchemy

The error message is telling you that SQLAlchemy can't determine how to join the two tables users and friendships, because there is more than one foreign key linking them. You need to explicitly define the join condition. Try: userList = users.query.join(friendships, users.id==friendships.user_id).add_columns(users.userId, users.name, users.email, friends.userId, friendId).filter(users.id == friendships.friend_id).filter(friendships.user_id == userID).paginate(page,...

how to store binary file recieved by Flask into postgres

python,flask,flask-sqlalchemy,psycopg2,werkzeug

The objects in request.files are FileStorage objects. They have the same methods as normal file objects in python. So, to get the contents of the file as binary, just do this: data = request.files['file'].read() Then pass that parameter into the INSERT....

Tyring to set up modelview with Flask-Admin causes ImportError

python,flask,flask-sqlalchemy,flask-admin

Your code has the line from app.models import User in __init__.py. The problem is that app.models has from . import db. This is a circular import: __init__ tries to import User, which tries to import db, which isn't defined until after __init__ tries to import User. To solve this, move...

PUT request not working, Flask-RESTful, SQLAlchemy

flask,sqlalchemy,flask-sqlalchemy,put,flask-restful

Change user.key = value to setattr(user, key, value). Instead of setting the attribute you want here (user.email) you're setting user.key. Because user.key is probably not a database column field (and certainly not the one you intend to set), the changes are not serialized to the database when db.session.commit() is called....

Secondary Join Condition Ignored in Insert SQL Alchemy

python,cookies,flask,flask-sqlalchemy,flask-login

You cannot sqlalchemy to be able to handle cases like this out-of-the-box. The code below is what I would use in such case: class Player(db.Model): id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True) name = db.Column(db.String(64), index=True, unique=True) email = db.Column(db.String(120), index=True, unique=True) avatar = db.Column(db.String(120)) skill = db.Column(db.Integer) class Participant(db.Model): player_id = db.Column(db.Integer,...

How to fix itsdangerous.BadTimeSignature Signature Error

Create one secret for your application, and keep using this throughout. Your keys are signed with this server-side secret and then when the cookie is sent back from...

Join two tables and show all combinations

python,flask,sqlalchemy,jinja2,flask-sqlalchemy

You have a relationship between Company and Contact defined, so you already have the contacts grouped by company. It would be more efficient in this case to not specify lazy='dynamic', and your backref should probably be named company. contacts = db.relationship('Contact', backref='company') You can query with a joinedload option to...

how to use .query attribute in sqlacodegen models

It sounds like you're used to using Flask-SQLAlchemy, which includes the secret sauce to allow the functionality you mention. The Flask Docs on SQLAlchemy indicate how to get that same functionality: from sqlalchemy import create_engine from sqlalchemy.orm import scoped_session, sessionmaker from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base engine = create_engine('sqlite:////tmp/test.db', convert_unicode=True) db_session =...

Two ways of creating a flask-SQLAlchemy BaseQuery object - only one works, why?

python,unit-testing,flask,flask-sqlalchemy,py.test

You should be able to use db.session.query(Design).all() session.query is how you would perform queries when using SQLAlchemy without Flask-SQLAlchemy. UPDATE To perform a join using Flask-SQLAlchemy's BaseQuery: Design.query.join(YourOtherModel).all() ...

Isolating py.test DB sessions in Flask-SQLAlchemy

1. According to Session Basics - SQLAlchemy documentation: commit() is used to commit the current transaction. It always issues flush() beforehand to flush any remaining state to the database; this is independent of the “autoflush” setting. .... So transaction.rollback() in session fixture function does not take effect, because the transaction...

Openshift app with flask, sqlalchemy and sqlite - problems with database reverting

python-3.x,sqlite3,flask,openshift,flask-sqlalchemy

Via the note at the top of the OpenShift Cartridge Guide: "Cartridges and Persistent Storage: Every time you push, everything in your remote repo directory is recreated. Store long term items (like an sqlite database) in the OpenShift data directory, which will persist between pushes of your repo. The OpenShift...

How teardown_request() works with Python- Flask?

python,unit-testing,flask,flask-sqlalchemy,flask-testing

teardown_request registers a function to be called at the end of each request whether it was successful or an exception was raised. It is a good place to cleanup request scope objects like a database session/transaction. That is all your code sample is doing. It is safe to use that...

How to test redirect to created instance in Flask

SQLAlchemy - Filter query, exclude parent where one of many children meet criteria

Flask-admin separate view for models filtered by foreign key

python,flask,sqlalchemy,flask-sqlalchemy,flask-admin

The easiest way to solve this problem that I found was to add a link for each quiz to a page with replies where the filter for the field quiz_id is applied. class Replies_view(ModelView): named_filter_urls = True column_filters = ("quiz_id",) class Quiz_view(ModelView): def _question_formatter(view, context, model, name): return Markup( "<a...

Can a Field act as both Foreign and Primary Keys in the same table?

database,foreign-keys,relational-database,primary-key,flask-sqlalchemy

In short - yes. Having the same field as a primary key and a foreign key is used to create a 1:0..1 relationship. A user may have a single record of details, but cannot have multiple records of details, and you cannot have details for users that do not exist...

answers = Question.query.options(joinedload(Question.answers)).get(5).answers The expression Question.query.options(joinedload(Question.answers)).get(5) issues the query with a join and evaluates to a Question instance. Accessing answers attribute does not issue any queries. You could also do it more explicitly answers = Answer.query.filter_by(question_id=5).all() ...

flask sqlalchemy update error - update() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

You are calling update on the User class rather than an instance of User. You could instantiate the User before calling update: user = User.query.get(id) user.update(email=args.email) Or you could make update a @classmethod and have it take the cls as the first argument rather than self and it would instantiate...

Flask/SQLAlchemy - Difference between association model and association table for many-to-many relationship?

flask,sqlalchemy,many-to-many,flask-sqlalchemy,model-associations

My apologies, I finally stumbled across the answer in the SQLAlchemy docs... http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_1_0/orm/basic_relationships.html#many-to-many ...where they explicitly define the difference: Many to Many adds an association table between two classes. association_table = Table('association', Base.metadata, Column('left_id', Integer, ForeignKey('left.id')), Column('right_id', Integer, ForeignKey('right.id')) ) The association object pattern is a variant on many-to-many: it’s...

backref lazy='dynamic' - does not support object population - eager loading cannot be applied

flask,sqlalchemy,flask-sqlalchemy

The error message tells you exactly what is "wrong": a lazy='dynamic' relationship can't be eager loaded. Dynamic relationships produce new queries, not collections (lists). It doesn't make sense to pre-load a dynamic relationship because the entire point of a dynamic relationship is to be able to construct other queries. Use...

How to enforce constraints in `flask-admin`?

python,flask,flask-sqlalchemy,flask-admin

You can implement the on_model_change and on_model_delete functions. So you can check if the data is unique and give a more user friendly message in case a constraint is not satisfied. Here is an example of checking some constraints before the delete/insert/update operation class ExampleView(ModelView): def on_model_delete(self, model): #check constraint...

Getting user by primary key in flask

sql alchemy: return all unique types of great great grandchildren

Edited post after table definitions: Given your table definitions, this should work: SKUs = session.query(Sku.sku_number) .join(Each).join(InnerCase) .join(OuterCase).join(Pallet) .join(FreightOrderDomestic) .filter(FreightOrderDomestic.id == myOrderNumber) .group_by(Sku).all() However, looking at your table definitions I have some other comments that will hopefully help: You should setup relationships between the tables, so you can easily work with...

Speed up updating items individually

python,mysql,sqlalchemy,flask-sqlalchemy

SQLAlchemy caches all the queried items internally, but expires that cache when a commit is issued. So the instance accessed in the next iteration is in the "expired" state and SQLAlchemy re-queries the database. So you're effectively doing: a massive query at the beginning for 12000 items 12000 commits 11999...

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'owner' when trying to access relationship

python,flask,flask-sqlalchemy,flask-restful

.first() returns None if there were no results. So your query for clicked_toy returned no results. You can use get rather than filter when all you're doing is filtering on the primary key. Flask-SQLAlchemy goes one step further by allowing you to raise 404 if there is no result. clicked_toy...

Your filter user_groups_n_hosts.end_time < str(date_now) compares a date with a string. Also, you should consider the session as a per-request thing, not a persistent entity across your app. With this in mind, try changing @sched.cron_schedule(second='*/5') def some_decorated_task(): date_now = datetime.datetime.now().date() for item in DBsession.query(user_groups_n_hosts).filter(user_groups_n_hosts.end_time < str(date_now)): print item.id, item.server_users.native_linux_user to...

Flask/SQLalchemy/Jinja2 — nested loop rendering

Your loop didn't quite make sense as it was not an dictionary. Since you have answers in the questions, you can just grab the questions, and automically grab the answers at runtime as it is lazy loaded when you iterate through q.answers in your template. routes.py @app.route('/quiz') def quiz(): questions...

One to many SQL relationship

python-2.7,flask,flask-sqlalchemy

Flask-SQLAlchemy's documentation covers creating a one-to-many relationship. It provides an example of one Person having many Addresses. class Person(db.Model): id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True) name = db.Column(db.String(50)) addresses = db.relationship('Address', backref='person', lazy='dynamic') class Address(db.Model): id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True) email = db.Column(db.String(50)) person_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('person.id')) This matches what you have. The...

Get “insert_id” for one to one relationship in Flask, SqlAlchemy

flask,flask-sqlalchemy

I couldn't find an exact solution. If anyone is wondering, I ended up working around it by executing SQL directly. It's not ideal, but it gets the job done for now. I ended up inserting on row at a time, here's the code below: @app.route('/_add_funding') def add_funding(): funding_type = request.args.get('funding_stage',...

Flask-SQLAlchemy filter_by and follow multiple backrefs

You have to join the Post and Category first, and i made some small corrections on your tests: db.create_all() e = Editor('Dude') py = Category('Python', e) p = Post('Hello Python!', 'Python is pretty cool', py) db.session.add(py) db.session.add(p) db.session.add(e) print Post.query.filter_by(category=py).all() print Category.query.filter_by(editor=e).all() print Post.query.join(Category).filter_by(editor=e).all() ...

Make a relationship between two tables though another

Assuming Condominium is 1:M to Property which is 1:M to Listing and that all foreign keys are well-defined, you can get all Listings for Condominium with id 123 thus: session.query(Listing).join(Property).join(Condominium).filter(Condominium.id=123) ...

Flask-Sqlalchemy taking non unique values for a 'unique' integer

database-design,flask,flask-sqlalchemy,flask-admin,flask-security

I suppose you declared email as UNIQUE in the database, but not registration_num. Setting unique=True in the model does not automatically influence the database and SQLAlchemy does not check if there are some rows with that value already. unique=True it is used by create_all or sqlalchemy-migrate.

Flask: Connecting models to files, e.g. profile pictures [closed]

If only one file/picture is required, it should work by adding another column. But if you want to associate multiple files to a specific user, you can create a new table for the relations: files table: ID | USER_ID | FILEPATH =================================================== 1 | 1 | somewhere/on/the/server.jpg 2 | 2...

Database created empty when models are in a separate file?

Since defining your model directly in __init__.py works, it follows that you need to import your model(s) into __init__.py. You can add an import in __init__.py after you create an SQLAlchemy object: db = SQLAlchemy() from .models import User This works, but it feels horribly wrong and dirty to me....

Where can I find a list of the Flask SQLAlchemy Column types and options?
