Root Cause

Missing or incorrect foreign key definition between tables for join.

generic

中文

表之间缺少或错误的外键定义导致无法连接。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Define foreign key in child table. 
    class Address(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'addresses'
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    user_id = Column(ForeignKey('users.id'))
  2. 90% success Specify join condition explicitly in query. 
    session.query(User).join(Address, User.id == Address.user_id).all()

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Adding a relationship without foreign key column. 90% fail

    Relationship requires underlying foreign key constraint.

  2. Using manual join with wrong column names. 70% fail

    Typo or mismatch in column names.
