The :func:`_orm.mapped_column` function provides an ORM-aware and Python-typing-compatible construct which is used with :ref:`declarative <orm_declarative_mapping>` mappings to indicate an attribute that's mapped to a Core :class:`_schema.Column` object. It provides the equivalent feature as mapping an attribute to a :class:`_schema.Column` object directly when using Declarative, specifically when using :ref:`Declarative Table <orm_declarative_table>` configuration. .. versionadded:: 2.0 :func:`_orm.mapped_column` is normally used with explicit typing along with the :class:`_orm.Mapped` annotation type, where it can derive the SQL type and nullability for the column based on what's present within the :class:`_orm.Mapped` annotation. It also may be used without annotations as a drop-in replacement for how :class:`_schema.Column` is used in Declarative mappings in SQLAlchemy 1.x style. For usage examples of :func:`_orm.mapped_column`, see the documentation at :ref:`orm_declarative_table`. .. seealso:: :ref:`orm_declarative_table` - complete documentation :ref:`whatsnew_20_orm_declarative_typing` - migration notes for Declarative mappings using 1.x style mappings :param __name: String name to give to the :class:`_schema.Column`. This is an optional, positional only argument that if present must be the first positional argument passed. If omitted, the attribute name to which the :func:`_orm.mapped_column` is mapped will be used as the SQL column name. :param __type: :class:`_types.TypeEngine` type or instance which will indicate the datatype to be associated with the :class:`_schema.Column`. This is an optional, positional-only argument that if present must immediately follow the ``__name`` parameter if present also, or otherwise be the first positional parameter. If omitted, the ultimate type for the column may be derived either from the annotated type, or if a :class:`_schema.ForeignKey` is present, from the datatype of the referenced column. :param \*args: Additional positional arguments include constructs such as :class:`_schema.ForeignKey`, :class:`_schema.CheckConstraint`, and :class:`_schema.Identity`, which are passed through to the constructed :class:`_schema.Column`. :param nullable: Optional bool, whether the column should be "NULL" or "NOT NULL". If omitted, the nullability is derived from the type annotation based on whether or not ``typing.Optional`` is present. ``nullable`` defaults to ``True`` otherwise for non-primary key columns, and ``False`` for primary key columns. :param primary_key: optional bool, indicates the :class:`_schema.Column` would be part of the table's primary key or not. :param deferred: Optional bool - this keyword argument is consumed by the ORM declarative process, and is not part of the :class:`_schema.Column` itself; instead, it indicates that this column should be "deferred" for loading as though mapped by :func:`_orm.deferred`. .. seealso:: :ref:`orm_queryguide_deferred_declarative` :param deferred_group: Implies :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.deferred` to ``True``, and set the :paramref:`_orm.deferred.group` parameter. .. seealso:: :ref:`orm_queryguide_deferred_group` :param deferred_raiseload: Implies :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.deferred` to ``True``, and set the :paramref:`_orm.deferred.raiseload` parameter. .. seealso:: :ref:`orm_queryguide_deferred_raiseload` :param use_existing_column: if True, will attempt to locate the given column name on an inherited superclass (typically single inheriting superclass), and if present, will not produce a new column, mapping to the superclass column as though it were omitted from this class. This is used for mixins that add new columns to an inherited superclass. .. seealso:: :ref:`orm_inheritance_column_conflicts` .. versionadded:: 2.0.0b4 :param default: Passed directly to the :paramref:`_schema.Column.default` parameter if the :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.insert_default` parameter is not present. Additionally, when used with :ref:`orm_declarative_native_dataclasses`, indicates a default Python value that should be applied to the keyword constructor within the generated ``__init__()`` method. Note that in the case of dataclass generation when :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.insert_default` is not present, this means the :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.default` value is used in **two** places, both the ``__init__()`` method as well as the :paramref:`_schema.Column.default` parameter. While this behavior may change in a future release, for the moment this tends to "work out"; a default of ``None`` will mean that the :class:`_schema.Column` gets no default generator, whereas a default that refers to a non-``None`` Python or SQL expression value will be assigned up front on the object when ``__init__()`` is called, which is the same value that the Core :class:`_sql.Insert` construct would use in any case, leading to the same end result. .. note:: When using Core level column defaults that are callables to be interpreted by the underlying :class:`_schema.Column` in conjunction with :ref:`ORM-mapped dataclasses <orm_declarative_native_dataclasses>`, especially those that are :ref:`context-aware default functions <context_default_functions>`, **the** :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.insert_default` **parameter must be used instead**. This is necessary to disambiguate the callable from being interpreted as a dataclass level default. .. seealso:: :ref:`defaults_default_factory_insert_default` :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.insert_default` :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.default_factory` :param insert_default: Passed directly to the :paramref:`_schema.Column.default` parameter; will supersede the value of :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.default` when present, however :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.default` will always apply to the constructor default for a dataclasses mapping. .. seealso:: :ref:`defaults_default_factory_insert_default` :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.default` :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.default_factory` :param sort_order: An integer that indicates how this mapped column should be sorted compared to the others when the ORM is creating a :class:`_schema.Table`. Among mapped columns that have the same value the default ordering is used, placing first the mapped columns defined in the main class, then the ones in the super classes. Defaults to 0. The sort is ascending. .. versionadded:: 2.0.4 :param active_history=False: When ``True``, indicates that the "previous" value for a scalar attribute should be loaded when replaced, if not already loaded. Normally, history tracking logic for simple non-primary-key scalar values only needs to be aware of the "new" value in order to perform a flush. This flag is available for applications that make use of :func:`.attributes.get_history` or :meth:`.Session.is_modified` which also need to know the "previous" value of the attribute. .. versionadded:: 2.0.10 :param init: Specific to :ref:`orm_declarative_native_dataclasses`, specifies if the mapped attribute should be part of the ``__init__()`` method as generated by the dataclass process. :param repr: Specific to :ref:`orm_declarative_native_dataclasses`, specifies if the mapped attribute should be part of the ``__repr__()`` method as generated by the dataclass process. :param default_factory: Specific to :ref:`orm_declarative_native_dataclasses`, specifies a default-value generation function that will take place as part of the ``__init__()`` method as generated by the dataclass process. .. seealso:: :ref:`defaults_default_factory_insert_default` :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.default` :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.insert_default` :param compare: Specific to :ref:`orm_declarative_native_dataclasses`, indicates if this field should be included in comparison operations when generating the ``__eq__()`` and ``__ne__()`` methods for the mapped class. .. versionadded:: 2.0.0b4 :param kw_only: Specific to :ref:`orm_declarative_native_dataclasses`, indicates if this field should be marked as keyword-only when generating the ``__init__()``. :param hash: Specific to :ref:`orm_declarative_native_dataclasses`, controls if this field is included when generating the ``__hash__()`` method for the mapped class. .. versionadded:: 2.0.36 :param \**kw: All remaining keyword arguments are passed through to the constructor for the :class:`_schema.Column`.

The rendering logic uses the same system used by single table inheritance to ensure a certain discriminator is applied to a table. E.g., using :term:`2.0-style` queries, we can limit the way the ``User.addresses`` collection is loaded, regardless of the kind of loading used:: from sqlalchemy.orm import with_loader_criteria stmt = select(User).options( selectinload(User.addresses), with_loader_criteria(Address, Address.email_address != "foo"), ) Above, the "selectinload" for ``User.addresses`` will apply the given filtering criteria to the WHERE clause. Another example, where the filtering will be applied to the ON clause of the join, in this example using :term:`1.x style` queries:: q = ( session.query(User) .outerjoin(User.addresses) .options(with_loader_criteria(Address, Address.email_address != "foo")) ) The primary purpose of :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` is to use it in the :meth:`_orm.SessionEvents.do_orm_execute` event handler to ensure that all occurrences of a particular entity are filtered in a certain way, such as filtering for access control roles. It also can be used to apply criteria to relationship loads. In the example below, we can apply a certain set of rules to all queries emitted by a particular :class:`_orm.Session`:: session = Session(bind=engine) @event.listens_for("do_orm_execute", session) def _add_filtering_criteria(execute_state): if ( execute_state.is_select and not execute_state.is_column_load and not execute_state.is_relationship_load ): execute_state.statement = execute_state.statement.options( with_loader_criteria( SecurityRole, lambda cls: cls.role.in_(["some_role"]), include_aliases=True, ) ) In the above example, the :meth:`_orm.SessionEvents.do_orm_execute` event will intercept all queries emitted using the :class:`_orm.Session`. For those queries which are SELECT statements and are not attribute or relationship loads a custom :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` option is added to the query. The :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` option will be used in the given statement and will also be automatically propagated to all relationship loads that descend from this query. The criteria argument given is a ``lambda`` that accepts a ``cls`` argument. The given class will expand to include all mapped subclass and need not itself be a mapped class. .. tip:: When using :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` option in conjunction with the :func:`_orm.contains_eager` loader option, it's important to note that :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` only affects the part of the query that determines what SQL is rendered in terms of the WHERE and FROM clauses. The :func:`_orm.contains_eager` option does not affect the rendering of the SELECT statement outside of the columns clause, so does not have any interaction with the :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` option. However, the way things "work" is that :func:`_orm.contains_eager` is meant to be used with a query that is already selecting from the additional entities in some way, where :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` can apply it's additional criteria. In the example below, assuming a mapping relationship as ``A -> A.bs -> B``, the given :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` option will affect the way in which the JOIN is rendered:: stmt = ( select(A) .join(A.bs) .options(contains_eager(A.bs), with_loader_criteria(B, B.flag == 1)) ) Above, the given :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` option will affect the ON clause of the JOIN that is specified by ``.join(A.bs)``, so is applied as expected. The :func:`_orm.contains_eager` option has the effect that columns from ``B`` are added to the columns clause: .. sourcecode:: sql SELECT b.id, b.a_id, b.data, b.flag, a.id AS id_1, a.data AS data_1 FROM a JOIN b ON a.id = b.a_id AND b.flag = :flag_1 The use of the :func:`_orm.contains_eager` option within the above statement has no effect on the behavior of the :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` option. If the :func:`_orm.contains_eager` option were omitted, the SQL would be the same as regards the FROM and WHERE clauses, where :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` continues to add its criteria to the ON clause of the JOIN. The addition of :func:`_orm.contains_eager` only affects the columns clause, in that additional columns against ``b`` are added which are then consumed by the ORM to produce ``B`` instances. .. warning:: The use of a lambda inside of the call to :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` is only invoked **once per unique class**. Custom functions should not be invoked within this lambda. See :ref:`engine_lambda_caching` for an overview of the "lambda SQL" feature, which is for advanced use only. :param entity_or_base: a mapped class, or a class that is a super class of a particular set of mapped classes, to which the rule will apply. :param where_criteria: a Core SQL expression that applies limiting criteria. This may also be a "lambda:" or Python function that accepts a target class as an argument, when the given class is a base with many different mapped subclasses. .. note:: To support pickling, use a module-level Python function to produce the SQL expression instead of a lambda or a fixed SQL expression, which tend to not be picklable. :param include_aliases: if True, apply the rule to :func:`_orm.aliased` constructs as well. :param propagate_to_loaders: defaults to True, apply to relationship loaders such as lazy loaders. This indicates that the option object itself including SQL expression is carried along with each loaded instance. Set to ``False`` to prevent the object from being assigned to individual instances. .. seealso:: :ref:`examples_session_orm_events` - includes examples of using :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria`. :ref:`do_orm_execute_global_criteria` - basic example on how to combine :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` with the :meth:`_orm.SessionEvents.do_orm_execute` event. :param track_closure_variables: when False, closure variables inside of a lambda expression will not be used as part of any cache key. This allows more complex expressions to be used inside of a lambda expression but requires that the lambda ensures it returns the identical SQL every time given a particular class. .. versionadded:: 1.4.0b2 """ # noqa: E501 return LoaderCriteriaOption( entity_or_base, where_criteria, loader_only, include_aliases, propagate_to_loaders, track_closure_variables, ) def relationship( argument: Optional[_RelationshipArgumentType[Any]] = None, secondary: Optional[_RelationshipSecondaryArgument] = None, *, uselist: Optional[bool] = None, collection_class: Optional[ Union[Type[Collection[Any]], Callable[[], Collection[Any]]] ] = None, primaryjoin: Optional[_RelationshipJoinConditionArgument] = None, secondaryjoin: Optional[_RelationshipJoinConditionArgument] = None, back_populates: Optional[str] = None, order_by: _ORMOrderByArgument = False, backref: Optional[ORMBackrefArgument] = None, overlaps: Optional[str] = None, post_update: bool = False, cascade: str = "save-update, merge", viewonly: bool = False, init: Union[_NoArg, bool] = _NoArg.NO_ARG, repr: Union[_NoArg, bool] = _NoArg.NO_ARG, # noqa: A002 default: Union[_NoArg, _T] = _NoArg.NO_ARG, default_factory: Union[_NoArg, Callable[[], _T]] = _NoArg.NO_ARG, compare: Union[_NoArg, bool] = _NoArg.NO_ARG, kw_only: Union[_NoArg, bool] = _NoArg.NO_ARG, hash: Union[_NoArg, bool, None] = _NoArg.NO_ARG, # noqa: A002 lazy: _LazyLoadArgumentType = "select", passive_deletes: Union[Literal["all"], bool] = False, passive_updates: bool = True, active_history: bool = False, enable_typechecks: bool = True, foreign_keys: Optional[_ORMColCollectionArgument] = None, remote_side: Optional[_ORMColCollectionArgument] = None, join_depth: Optional[int] = None, comparator_factory: Optional[ Type[RelationshipProperty.Comparator[Any]] ] = None, single_parent: bool = False, innerjoin: bool = False, distinct_target_key: Optional[bool] = None, load_on_pending: bool = False, query_class: Optional[Type[Query[Any]]] = None, info: Optional[_InfoType] = None, omit_join: Literal[None, False] = None, sync_backref: Optional[bool] = None, **kw: Any, ) -> _RelationshipDeclared[Any]: """Provide a relationship between two mapped classes.

In less common circumstances, the argument may also be specified as an :class:`_expression.Alias` construct, or even a :class:`_expression.Join` construct. :paramref:`_orm.relationship.secondary` may also be passed as a callable function which is evaluated at mapper initialization time. When using Declarative, it may also be a string argument noting the name of a :class:`_schema.Table` that is present in the :class:`_schema.MetaData` collection associated with the parent-mapped :class:`_schema.Table`. .. warning:: When passed as a Python-evaluable string, the argument is interpreted using Python's ``eval()`` function. **DO NOT PASS UNTRUSTED INPUT TO THIS STRING**. See :ref:`declarative_relationship_eval` for details on declarative evaluation of :func:`_orm.relationship` arguments. The :paramref:`_orm.relationship.secondary` keyword argument is typically applied in the case where the intermediary :class:`_schema.Table` is not otherwise expressed in any direct class mapping. If the "secondary" table is also explicitly mapped elsewhere (e.g. as in :ref:`association_pattern`), one should consider applying the :paramref:`_orm.relationship.viewonly` flag so that this :func:`_orm.relationship` is not used for persistence operations which may conflict with those of the association object pattern. .. seealso:: :ref:`relationships_many_to_many` - Reference example of "many to many". :ref:`self_referential_many_to_many` - Specifics on using many-to-many in a self-referential case. :ref:`declarative_many_to_many` - Additional options when using Declarative. :ref:`association_pattern` - an alternative to :paramref:`_orm.relationship.secondary` when composing association table relationships, allowing additional attributes to be specified on the association table. :ref:`composite_secondary_join` - a lesser-used pattern which in some cases can enable complex :func:`_orm.relationship` SQL conditions to be used. :param active_history=False: When ``True``, indicates that the "previous" value for a many-to-one reference should be loaded when replaced, if not already loaded. Normally, history tracking logic for simple many-to-ones only needs to be aware of the "new" value in order to perform a flush. This flag is available for applications that make use of :func:`.attributes.get_history` which also need to know the "previous" value of the attribute. :param backref: A reference to a string relationship name, or a :func:`_orm.backref` construct, which will be used to automatically generate a new :func:`_orm.relationship` on the related class, which then refers to this one using a bi-directional :paramref:`_orm.relationship.back_populates` configuration. In modern Python, explicit use of :func:`_orm.relationship` with :paramref:`_orm.relationship.back_populates` should be preferred, as it is more robust in terms of mapper configuration as well as more conceptually straightforward. It also integrates with new :pep:`484` typing features introduced in SQLAlchemy 2.0 which is not possible with dynamically generated attributes. .. seealso:: :ref:`relationships_backref` - notes on using :paramref:`_orm.relationship.backref` :ref:`tutorial_orm_related_objects` - in the :ref:`unified_tutorial`, presents an overview of bi-directional relationship configuration and behaviors using :paramref:`_orm.relationship.back_populates` :func:`.backref` - allows control over :func:`_orm.relationship` configuration when using :paramref:`_orm.relationship.backref`. :param back_populates: Indicates the name of a :func:`_orm.relationship` on the related class that will be synchronized with this one. It is usually expected that the :func:`_orm.relationship` on the related class also refer to this one. This allows objects on both sides of each :func:`_orm.relationship` to synchronize in-Python state changes and also provides directives to the :term:`unit of work` flush process how changes along these relationships should be persisted. .. seealso:: :ref:`tutorial_orm_related_objects` - in the :ref:`unified_tutorial`, presents an overview of bi-directional relationship configuration and behaviors. :ref:`relationship_patterns` - includes many examples of :paramref:`_orm.relationship.back_populates`. :paramref:`_orm.relationship.backref` - legacy form which allows more succinct configuration, but does not support explicit typing :param overlaps: A string name or comma-delimited set of names of other relationships on either this mapper, a descendant mapper, or a target mapper with which this relationship may write to the same foreign keys upon persistence.

This is used for such relationships that are truly capable of conflicting with each other on write, but the application will ensure that no such conflicts occur. .. versionadded:: 1.4 .. seealso:: :ref:`error_qzyx` - usage example :param cascade: A comma-separated list of cascade rules which determines how Session operations should be "cascaded" from parent to child. This defaults to ``False``, which means the default cascade should be used - this default cascade is ``"save-update, merge"``. The available cascades are ``save-update``, ``merge``, ``expunge``, ``delete``, ``delete-orphan``, and ``refresh-expire``. An additional option, ``all`` indicates shorthand for ``"save-update, merge, refresh-expire, expunge, delete"``, and is often used as in ``"all, delete-orphan"`` to indicate that related objects should follow along with the parent object in all cases, and be deleted when de-associated. .. seealso:: :ref:`unitofwork_cascades` - Full detail on each of the available cascade options. :param cascade_backrefs=False: Legacy; this flag is always False. .. versionchanged:: 2.0 "cascade_backrefs" functionality has been removed. :param collection_class: A class or callable that returns a new list-holding object. will be used in place of a plain list for storing elements. .. seealso:: :ref:`custom_collections` - Introductory documentation and examples. :param comparator_factory: A class which extends :class:`.Relationship.Comparator` which provides custom SQL clause generation for comparison operations. .. seealso:: :class:`.PropComparator` - some detail on redefining comparators at this level. :ref:`custom_comparators` - Brief intro to this feature. :param distinct_target_key=None: Indicate if a "subquery" eager load should apply the DISTINCT keyword to the innermost SELECT statement. When left as ``None``, the DISTINCT keyword will be applied in those cases when the target columns do not comprise the full primary key of the target table. When set to ``True``, the DISTINCT keyword is applied to the innermost SELECT unconditionally. It may be desirable to set this flag to False when the DISTINCT is reducing performance of the innermost subquery beyond that of what duplicate innermost rows may be causing. .. seealso:: :ref:`loading_toplevel` - includes an introduction to subquery eager loading. :param doc: Docstring which will be applied to the resulting descriptor. :param foreign_keys: A list of columns which are to be used as "foreign key" columns, or columns which refer to the value in a remote column, within the context of this :func:`_orm.relationship` object's :paramref:`_orm.relationship.primaryjoin` condition. That is, if the :paramref:`_orm.relationship.primaryjoin` condition of this :func:`_orm.relationship` is ``a.id == b.a_id``, and the values in ``b.a_id`` are required to be present in ``a.id``, then the "foreign key" column of this :func:`_orm.relationship` is ``b.a_id``. In normal cases, the :paramref:`_orm.relationship.foreign_keys` parameter is **not required.** :func:`_orm.relationship` will automatically determine which columns in the :paramref:`_orm.relationship.primaryjoin` condition are to be considered "foreign key" columns based on those :class:`_schema.Column` objects that specify :class:`_schema.ForeignKey`, or are otherwise listed as referencing columns in a :class:`_schema.ForeignKeyConstraint` construct. :paramref:`_orm.relationship.foreign_keys` is only needed when: 1. There is more than one way to construct a join from the local table to the remote table, as there are multiple foreign key references present. Setting ``foreign_keys`` will limit the :func:`_orm.relationship` to consider just those columns specified here as "foreign". 2. The :class:`_schema.Table` being mapped does not actually have :class:`_schema.ForeignKey` or :class:`_schema.ForeignKeyConstraint` constructs present, often because the table was reflected from a database that does not support foreign key reflection (MySQL MyISAM). 3. The :paramref:`_orm.relationship.primaryjoin` argument is used to construct a non-standard join condition, which makes use of columns or expressions that do not normally refer to their "parent" column, such as a join condition expressed by a complex comparison using a SQL function. The :func:`_orm.relationship` construct will raise informative error messages that suggest the use of the :paramref:`_orm.relationship.foreign_keys` parameter when presented with an ambiguous condition. In typical cases, if :func:`_orm.relationship` doesn't raise any exceptions, the :paramref:`_orm.relationship.foreign_keys` parameter is usually not needed. :paramref:`_orm.relationship.foreign_keys` may also be passed as a callable function which is evaluated at mapper initialization time, and may be passed as a Python-evaluable string when using Declarative. .. warning:: When passed as a Python-evaluable string, the argument is interpreted using Python's ``eval()`` function. **DO NOT PASS UNTRUSTED INPUT TO THIS STRING**. See :ref:`declarative_relationship_eval` for details on declarative evaluation of :func:`_orm.relationship` arguments. .. seealso:: :ref:`relationship_foreign_keys` :ref:`relationship_custom_foreign` :func:`.foreign` - allows direct annotation of the "foreign" columns within a :paramref:`_orm.relationship.primaryjoin` condition. :param info: Optional data dictionary which will be populated into the :attr:`.MapperProperty.info` attribute of this object. :param innerjoin=False: When ``True``, joined eager loads will use an inner join to join against related tables instead of an outer join. The purpose of this option is generally one of performance, as inner joins generally perform better than outer joins. This flag can be set to ``True`` when the relationship references an object via many-to-one using local foreign keys that are not nullable, or when the reference is one-to-one or a collection that is guaranteed to have one or at least one entry. The option supports the same "nested" and "unnested" options as that of :paramref:`_orm.joinedload.innerjoin`. See that flag for details on nested / unnested behaviors. .. seealso:: :paramref:`_orm.joinedload.innerjoin` - the option as specified by loader option, including detail on nesting behavior. :ref:`what_kind_of_loading` - Discussion of some details of various loader options. :param join_depth: When non-``None``, an integer value indicating how many levels deep "eager" loaders should join on a self-referring or cyclical relationship. The number counts how many times the same Mapper shall be present in the loading condition along a particular join branch. When left at its default of ``None``, eager loaders will stop chaining when they encounter a the same target mapper which is already higher up in the chain. This option applies both to joined- and subquery- eager loaders. .. seealso:: :ref:`self_referential_eager_loading` - Introductory documentation and examples. :param lazy='select': specifies How the related items should be loaded. Default value is ``select``. Values include: * ``select`` - items should be loaded lazily when the property is first accessed, using a separate SELECT statement, or identity map fetch for simple many-to-one references. * ``immediate`` - items should be loaded as the parents are loaded, using a separate SELECT statement, or identity map fetch for simple many-to-one references. * ``joined`` - items should be loaded "eagerly" in the same query as that of the parent, using a JOIN or LEFT OUTER JOIN. Whether the join is "outer" or not is determined by the :paramref:`_orm.relationship.innerjoin` parameter. * ``subquery`` - items should be loaded "eagerly" as the parents are loaded, using one additional SQL statement, which issues a JOIN to a subquery of the original statement, for each collection requested. * ``selectin`` - items should be loaded "eagerly" as the parents are loaded, using one or more additional SQL statements, which issues a JOIN to the immediate parent object, specifying primary key identifiers using an IN clause. * ``noload`` - no loading should occur at any time. The related collection will remain empty. The ``noload`` strategy is not recommended for general use. For a general use "never load" approach, see :ref:`write_only_relationship` * ``raise`` - lazy loading is disallowed; accessing the attribute, if its value were not already loaded via eager loading, will raise an :exc:`~sqlalchemy.exc.InvalidRequestError`. This strategy can be used when objects are to be detached from their attached :class:`.Session` after they are loaded. * ``raise_on_sql`` - lazy loading that emits SQL is disallowed; accessing the attribute, if its value were not already loaded via eager loading, will raise an :exc:`~sqlalchemy.exc.InvalidRequestError`, **if the lazy load needs to emit SQL**. If the lazy load can pull the related value from the identity map or determine that it should be None, the value is loaded. This strategy can be used when objects will remain associated with the attached :class:`.Session`, however additional SELECT statements should be blocked. * ``write_only`` - the attribute will be configured with a special "virtual collection" that may receive :meth:`_orm.WriteOnlyCollection.add` and :meth:`_orm.WriteOnlyCollection.remove` commands to add or remove individual objects, but will not under any circumstances load or iterate the full set of objects from the database directly. Instead, methods such as :meth:`_orm.WriteOnlyCollection.select`, :meth:`_orm.WriteOnlyCollection.insert`, :meth:`_orm.WriteOnlyCollection.update` and :meth:`_orm.WriteOnlyCollection.delete` are provided which generate SQL constructs that may be used to load and modify rows in bulk. Used for large collections that are never appropriate to load at once into memory. The ``write_only`` loader style is configured automatically when the :class:`_orm.WriteOnlyMapped` annotation is provided on the left hand side within a Declarative mapping. See the section :ref:`write_only_relationship` for examples. .. versionadded:: 2.0 .. seealso:: :ref:`write_only_relationship` - in the :ref:`queryguide_toplevel` * ``dynamic`` - the attribute will return a pre-configured :class:`_query.Query` object for all read operations, onto which further filtering operations can be applied before iterating the results. The ``dynamic`` loader style is configured automatically when the :class:`_orm.DynamicMapped` annotation is provided on the left hand side within a Declarative mapping. See the section :ref:`dynamic_relationship` for examples. .. legacy:: The "dynamic" lazy loader strategy is the legacy form of what is now the "write_only" strategy described in the section :ref:`write_only_relationship`. .. seealso:: :ref:`dynamic_relationship` - in the :ref:`queryguide_toplevel` :ref:`write_only_relationship` - more generally useful approach for large collections that should not fully load into memory * True - a synonym for 'select' * False - a synonym for 'joined' * None - a synonym for 'noload' .. seealso:: :ref:`orm_queryguide_relationship_loaders` - Full documentation on relationship loader configuration in the :ref:`queryguide_toplevel`. :param load_on_pending=False: Indicates loading behavior for transient or pending parent objects. When set to ``True``, causes the lazy-loader to issue a query for a parent object that is not persistent, meaning it has never been flushed. This may take effect for a pending object when autoflush is disabled, or for a transient object that has been "attached" to a :class:`.Session` but is not part of its pending collection. The :paramref:`_orm.relationship.load_on_pending` flag does not improve behavior when the ORM is used normally - object references should be constructed at the object level, not at the foreign key level, so that they are present in an ordinary way before a flush proceeds. This flag is not not intended for general use. .. seealso:: :meth:`.Session.enable_relationship_loading` - this method establishes "load on pending" behavior for the whole object, and also allows loading on objects that remain transient or detached. :param order_by: Indicates the ordering that should be applied when loading these items. :paramref:`_orm.relationship.order_by` is expected to refer to one of the :class:`_schema.Column` objects to which the target class is mapped, or the attribute itself bound to the target class which refers to the column. :paramref:`_orm.relationship.order_by` may also be passed as a callable function which is evaluated at mapper initialization time, and may be passed as a Python-evaluable string when using Declarative. .. warning:: When passed as a Python-evaluable string, the argument is interpreted using Python's ``eval()`` function. **DO NOT PASS UNTRUSTED INPUT TO THIS STRING**. See :ref:`declarative_relationship_eval` for details on declarative evaluation of :func:`_orm.relationship` arguments. :param passive_deletes=False: Indicates loading behavior during delete operations. A value of True indicates that unloaded child items should not be loaded during a delete operation on the parent. Normally, when a parent item is deleted, all child items are loaded so that they can either be marked as deleted, or have their foreign key to the parent set to NULL. Marking this flag as True usually implies an ON DELETE <CASCADE|SET NULL> rule is in place which will handle updating/deleting child rows on the database side. Additionally, setting the flag to the string value 'all' will disable the "nulling out" of the child foreign keys, when the parent object is deleted and there is no delete or delete-orphan cascade enabled. This is typically used when a triggering or error raise scenario is in place on the database side. Note that the foreign key attributes on in-session child objects will not be changed after a flush occurs so this is a very special use-case setting. Additionally, the "nulling out" will still occur if the child object is de-associated with the parent. .. seealso:: :ref:`passive_deletes` - Introductory documentation and examples. :param passive_updates=True: Indicates the persistence behavior to take when a referenced primary key value changes in place, indicating that the referencing foreign key columns will also need their value changed. When True, it is assumed that ``ON UPDATE CASCADE`` is configured on the foreign key in the database, and that the database will handle propagation of an UPDATE from a source column to dependent rows. When False, the SQLAlchemy :func:`_orm.relationship` construct will attempt to emit its own UPDATE statements to modify related targets. However note that SQLAlchemy **cannot** emit an UPDATE for more than one level of cascade. Also, setting this flag to False is not compatible in the case where the database is in fact enforcing referential integrity, unless those constraints are explicitly "deferred", if the target backend supports it. It is highly advised that an application which is employing mutable primary keys keeps ``passive_updates`` set to True, and instead uses the referential integrity features of the database itself in order to handle the change efficiently and fully. .. seealso:: :ref:`passive_updates` - Introductory documentation and examples. :paramref:`.mapper.passive_updates` - a similar flag which takes effect for joined-table inheritance mappings. :param post_update: This indicates that the relationship should be handled by a second UPDATE statement after an INSERT or before a DELETE. This flag is used to handle saving bi-directional dependencies between two individual rows (i.e. each row references the other), where it would otherwise be impossible to INSERT or DELETE both rows fully since one row exists before the other. Use this flag when a particular mapping arrangement will incur two rows that are dependent on each other, such as a table that has a one-to-many relationship to a set of child rows, and also has a column that references a single child row within that list (i.e. both tables contain a foreign key to each other). If a flush operation returns an error that a "cyclical dependency" was detected, this is a cue that you might want to use :paramref:`_orm.relationship.post_update` to "break" the cycle. .. seealso:: :ref:`post_update` - Introductory documentation and examples. :param primaryjoin: A SQL expression that will be used as the primary join of the child object against the parent object, or in a many-to-many relationship the join of the parent object to the association table. By default, this value is computed based on the foreign key relationships of the parent and child tables (or association table). :paramref:`_orm.relationship.primaryjoin` may also be passed as a callable function which is evaluated at mapper initialization time, and may be passed as a Python-evaluable string when using Declarative. .. warning:: When passed as a Python-evaluable string, the argument is interpreted using Python's ``eval()`` function. **DO NOT PASS UNTRUSTED INPUT TO THIS STRING**. See :ref:`declarative_relationship_eval` for details on declarative evaluation of :func:`_orm.relationship` arguments. .. seealso:: :ref:`relationship_primaryjoin` :param remote_side: Used for self-referential relationships, indicates the column or list of columns that form the "remote side" of the relationship. :paramref:`_orm.relationship.remote_side` may also be passed as a callable function which is evaluated at mapper initialization time, and may be passed as a Python-evaluable string when using Declarative. .. warning:: When passed as a Python-evaluable string, the argument is interpreted using Python's ``eval()`` function. **DO NOT PASS UNTRUSTED INPUT TO THIS STRING**.

By default, this value is computed based on the foreign key relationships of the association and child tables. :paramref:`_orm.relationship.secondaryjoin` may also be passed as a callable function which is evaluated at mapper initialization time, and may be passed as a Python-evaluable string when using Declarative. .. warning:: When passed as a Python-evaluable string, the argument is interpreted using Python's ``eval()`` function. **DO NOT PASS UNTRUSTED INPUT TO THIS STRING**. See :ref:`declarative_relationship_eval` for details on declarative evaluation of :func:`_orm.relationship` arguments. .. seealso:: :ref:`relationship_primaryjoin` :param single_parent: When True, installs a validator which will prevent objects from being associated with more than one parent at a time. This is used for many-to-one or many-to-many relationships that should be treated either as one-to-one or one-to-many. Its usage is optional, except for :func:`_orm.relationship` constructs which are many-to-one or many-to-many and also specify the ``delete-orphan`` cascade option. The :func:`_orm.relationship` construct itself will raise an error instructing when this option is required. .. seealso:: :ref:`unitofwork_cascades` - includes detail on when the :paramref:`_orm.relationship.single_parent` flag may be appropriate. :param uselist: A boolean that indicates if this property should be loaded as a list or a scalar. In most cases, this value is determined automatically by :func:`_orm.relationship` at mapper configuration time. When using explicit :class:`_orm.Mapped` annotations, :paramref:`_orm.relationship.uselist` may be derived from the whether or not the annotation within :class:`_orm.Mapped` contains a collection class. Otherwise, :paramref:`_orm.relationship.uselist` may be derived from the type and direction of the relationship - one to many forms a list, many to one forms a scalar, many to many is a list. If a scalar is desired where normally a list would be present, such as a bi-directional one-to-one relationship, use an appropriate :class:`_orm.Mapped` annotation or set :paramref:`_orm.relationship.uselist` to False. The :paramref:`_orm.relationship.uselist` flag is also available on an existing :func:`_orm.relationship` construct as a read-only attribute, which can be used to determine if this :func:`_orm.relationship` deals with collections or scalar attributes:: >>> User.addresses.property.uselist True .. seealso:: :ref:`relationships_one_to_one` - Introduction to the "one to one" relationship pattern, which is typically when an alternate setting for :paramref:`_orm.relationship.uselist` is involved. :param viewonly=False: When set to ``True``, the relationship is used only for loading objects, and not for any persistence operation. A :func:`_orm.relationship` which specifies :paramref:`_orm.relationship.viewonly` can work with a wider range of SQL operations within the :paramref:`_orm.relationship.primaryjoin` condition, including operations that feature the use of a variety of comparison operators as well as SQL functions such as :func:`_expression.cast`.
