.. _bug_3233:
Single inheritance join targets will no longer sometimes implicitly alias themselves
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a bug where an unexpected and inconsistent behavior would occur
in some scenarios when joining to a single-table-inheritance entity. The
difficulty this might cause is that the query is supposed to raise an error,
as it is invalid SQL, however the bug would cause an alias to be added which
makes the query "work". The issue is confusing because this aliasing
is not applied consistently and could change based on the nature of the query
preceding the join.
A simple example is::
from sqlalchemy import Integer, Column, String, ForeignKey
from sqlalchemy.orm import Session, relationship
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
Base = declarative_base()
class A(Base):
__tablename__ = "a"
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
type = Column(String)
__mapper_args__ = {'polymorphic_on': type, 'polymorphic_identity': 'a'}
class ASub1(A):
__mapper_args__ = {'polymorphic_identity': 'asub1'}
class ASub2(A):
__mapper_args__ = {'polymorphic_identity': 'asub2'}
class B(Base):
__tablename__ = 'b'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
a_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey("a.id"))
a = relationship("A", primaryjoin="B.a_id == A.id", backref='b')
s = Session()
print s.query(ASub1).join(B, ASub1.b).join(ASub2, B.a)
print s.query(ASub1).join(B, ASub1.b).join(ASub2, ASub2.id == B.a_id)
The two queries at the bottom are equivalent, and should both render
the identical SQL:
SELECT a.id AS a_id, a.type AS a_type
FROM a JOIN b ON b.a_id = a.id JOIN a ON b.a_id = a.id AND a.type IN (:type_1)
WHERE a.type IN (:type_2)
The above SQL is invalid, as it renders "a" within the FROM list twice.
The bug however would occur with the second query only and render this instead::
SELECT a.id AS a_id, a.type AS a_type
FROM a JOIN b ON b.a_id = a.id JOIN a AS a_1
ON a_1.id = b.a_id AND a_1.type IN (:type_1)
WHERE a_1.type IN (:type_2)
Where above, the second join to "a" is aliased. While this seems convenient,
it's not how single-inheritance queries work in general and is misleading
and inconsistent.
The net effect is that applications which were relying on this bug will now
have an error raised by the database. The solution is to use the expected
form. When referring to multiple subclasses of a single-inheritance
entity in a query, you must manually use aliases to disambiguate the table,
as all the subclasses normally refer to the same table::
asub2_alias = aliased(ASub2)
print s.query(ASub1).join(B, ASub1.b).join(asub2_alias, B.a.of_type(asub2_alias))
