So, I have three tables:
The class defenitions:
engine = create_engine('sqlite://test.db', echo=False)
SQLSession = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
Base = declarative_base()
class Channel(Base):
__tablename__ = 'channel'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key = True)
title = Column(String)
description = Column(String)
link = Column(String)
pubDate = Column(DateTime)
class User(Base):
__tablename__ = 'user'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key = True)
username = Column(String)
password = Column(String)
sessionId = Column(String)
class Subscription(Base):
__tablename__ = 'subscription'
userId = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('user.id'), primary_key=True)
channelId = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('channel.id'), primary_key=True)
NOTE: I know user.username should be unique, need to fix that, and I'm not sure why SQLalchemy creates some row names with the double-quotes.
And I'm trying to come up with a way to retrieve all of the channels, as well as an indication on what channels one particular user (identified by user.sessionId together with user.id) has a subscription on.
For example, say we have four channels: channel1, channel2, channel3, channel4; a user: user1; who has a subscription on channel1 and channel4. The query for user1 would return something like:
channel.id | channel.title | subscribed
---------------------------------------
1 channel1 True
2 channel2 False
3 channel3 False
4 channel4 True
This is a best-case result, but since I have absolutely no clue as how to accomplish the subscribed column, I've been instead trying to get the particular users id in the rows where the user has a subscription and where a subscription is missing, just leave it blank.
The database engine that I'm using together with SQLalchemy atm. is sqlite3
