I have a table of 'Clients' where a client can be a child of another client.
Here's the table definition.
[ClientID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[name] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[VPFSID] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[Type] [varchar](25) NULL,
[ROHostID] [varchar](60) NOT NULL,
[RWHostID] [varchar](60) NOT NULL,
[ParentClientID] [int] NULL
In SQLAlchemy, how do I create the relationship between the ParentClientID and ClientID. I put together this class using declarative but I'm not sure if it's valid or not. A Client can have many children, but can only have a single parent, so it's a Many-to-1 relationship
class Client(Base):
""" Client Filesystems """
__tablename__ = 'Client'
client_id = Column('ClientID', int, primary_key=True, nullable=Flase)
name = Column('name', String(50), nullable=False)
vpfs_id = Column('VPFSID', String(50), nullable=False)
type = Column('Type',String(25))
ro_host_id = Column('ROHostID', String(60), ForeignKey('DataMover.HostID'), nullable=False)
rw_host_id = Column('RWHostID', String(60), ForeignKey('DataMover.HostID'), nullable=False)
rw_host = relation('Datamover',backref="rw_clients")
ro_host = relation('Datamover',backref="ro_clients")
parent_client_id = Column('ParentClientID',int,ForeignKey('Client.ClientID'))
parent = relation('Client',ForeignKey('Client.ClientID'))
Any suggestions on accomplishing this?
