provides the functionality of query.with_polymorphic()
in a standalone form. It can be applied to any
entity within a query, including as the target
of a join in place of the "of_type()" modifier.
[ticket:2333]
- redo a large portion of the inheritance docs in terms
of declarative, new with_polymorphic() function
- upgrade examples/inheritance/polymorph, rename to "joined"
"basic relationship" examples, cleaned up the examples and added
some more explicitness. Also renamed "treenodes" to "nodes" and
added self-referential declarative example.
- Added info/examples on how to join tables directly when querying with
joined table inheritance.
- Starting to talk about hybrids in the main mapper docs some more.
introducoed the idea that synonyms are on their way out.
- SQL expressions as mapped attributes also gets better verbiage,
alternative approaches to them, including hybrids.
- modernized the hybrid example.
- object_session() as a standalone function wasn't documented ?!
relationship(), to eliminate confusion over the relational
algebra term. relation() however will remain available
in equal capacity for the foreseeable future. [ticket:1740]
- added READMEs to all examples in each __init__.py and added to sphinx documentation
- added versioning example
- removed vertical/vertical.py, the dictlikes are more straightforward
