A top class called Parametric
is used to create objects which can have parameters associated with them:
class Parametric(object):
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
self.pars = []
class Foo(Parametric):
def __init__(self, name, prop):
self.prop = prop
Parametric.__init__(self, name)
class Bar(Parametric):
def __init__(self, name, prop):
self.prop = prop
Parametric.__init__(self, name)
I use SQLAlchemy for my ORM engine.
I want to impose a UNIQUE
constraint that ensures that the combination (name
, prop
) are unique for a given class (e.g. only one instance of Foo
can be called "my_foo"
and have a prop
value of, say "my_prop"
), but I don't see how to reference the name
column from Parametric
in the Foo
table UNIQUECONSTRAINT
section.
Is this uniqueness something which can be imposed via FOREIGN KEY
directives?
