Root Cause

A relationship is defined without a foreign key constraint between the tables, or the FK is not properly declared.

generic

中文

表之间定义关系时没有外键约束，或外键未正确声明。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success 
    class Address(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'addresses'
    user_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('users.id'))
class User(Base):
    addresses = relationship('Address')
  2. 80% success 
    class User(Base):
    addresses = relationship('Address', primaryjoin='User.id == Address.user_id')

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 60% fail

    It's just a regular column; no constraint.

  2. 50% fail

    May cause ambiguous joins.
