Suppose I have the following SQLAlchemy classes defined:
Base = declarative_base()
class Person(Base):
__tablename__ = 'person'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
computers = relationship('Computer', backref=backref('owner', lazy='dynamic'))
class Computer(Base):
__tablename__ = 'computer'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
ownerid = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('person.id'))
Suppose further that I have accessed the lazy query object this way:
relation = getattr(Computer, 'owner')
How can I determine if relation refers to a single instance of Person (that is, in a many-to-one relationship, like in this example), or if relation refers to a collection of instances (like in a one-to-many relationship)? In other words, how can I determine the relationship type of a dynamic SQLAlchemy relationship object?
