by ``polymorphic_on`` and ``version_id_col``, by specifying the

Mixing in Relationships
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Relationships created by :func:`~sqlalchemy.orm.relationship` are provided
with declarative mixin classes exclusively using the
-:func:`~sqlalchemy.util.classproperty` approach, eliminating any ambiguity
+:func:`.mapperproperty` approach, eliminating any ambiguity
which could arise when copying a relationship and its possibly column-bound
contents. Below is an example which combines a foreign key column and a
relationship so that two classes ``Foo`` and ``Bar`` can both be configured to
reference a common target class via many-to-one::
class RefTargetMixin(object):
- @classproperty
+ @mapperproperty
def target_id(cls):
return Column('target_id', ForeignKey('target.id'))
- @classproperty
+ @mapperproperty
def target(cls):
return relationship("Target")
to get it's name::
class RefTargetMixin(object):
- @classproperty
+ @mapperproperty
def target_id(cls):
return Column('target_id', ForeignKey('target.id'))
- @classproperty
+ @mapperproperty
def target(cls):
return relationship("Target",
primaryjoin="Target.id==%s.target_id" % cls.__name__
)

Mixing in deferred(), column_property(), etc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:class:`~sqlalchemy.orm.interfaces.MapperProperty` subclasses such as
:func:`~sqlalchemy.orm.deferred`, :func:`~sqlalchemy.orm.column_property`,
etc. ultimately involve references to columns, and therefore, when
-used with declarative mixins, have the :func:`~sqlalchemy.util.classproperty`
+used with declarative mixins, have the :func:`.mapperproperty`
requirement so that no reliance on copying is needed::
class SomethingMixin(object):
- @classproperty
+ @mapperproperty
def dprop(cls):
return deferred(Column(Integer))
class Something(Base, SomethingMixin):
__tablename__ = "something"

Controlling table inheritance with mixins

hierarchy, you can explicitly specify ``__tablename__`` as ``None`` to
indicate that the class should not have a table mapped::
- from sqlalchemy.util import classproperty
+ from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import mapperproperty
class Tablename:
- @classproperty
+ @mapperproperty
def __tablename__(cls):
return cls.__name__.lower()
As an example, here's a mixin that will only allow single table
inheritance::
- from sqlalchemy.util import classproperty
+ from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import mapperproperty
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import has_inherited_table
class Tablename:
- @classproperty
+ @mapperproperty
def __tablename__(cls):
if has_inherited_table(cls):
return None
it on any joined table child classes in addition to their parent
classes::
- from sqlalchemy.util import classproperty
+ from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import mapperproperty
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import has_inherited_table
class Tablename:
- @classproperty
+ @mapperproperty
def __tablename__(cls):
if (has_inherited_table(cls) and
Tablename not in cls.__bases__):

some parameters from several mixins with those you wish to
define on the class iteself. The
