How to save to two tables using one SQLAlchemy model
- by Oatman
I have an SQLAlchemy ORM class, linked to MySQL, which works great at saving the data I need down to the underlying table. However, I would like to also save the identical data to a second archive table.
Here's some psudocode to try and explain what I mean
my_data = Data() #An ORM Class
my_data.name = "foo"
#This saves just to the 'data' table
session.add(my_data)
#This will save it to the identical 'backup_data' table
my_data_archive = my_data
my_data_archive.__tablename__ = 'backup_data'
session.add(my_data_archive)
#And commits them both
session.commit()
Just a heads up, I am not interested in mapping a class to a JOIN, as in: http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/05/mappers.html#mapping-a-class-against-multiple-tables
