.. warning::
The :attr:`.declared_attr.cascading` modifier has several
limitations:
* The flag **only** applies to the use of :class:`.declared_attr`
on declarative mixin classes and ``__abstract__`` classes; it
currently has no effect when used on a mapped class directly.
* The flag **only** applies to normally-named attributes, e.g.
not any special underscore attributes such as ``__tablename__``.
On these attributes it has **no** effect.
* The flag currently **does not allow further overrides** down
the class hierarchy; if a subclass tries to override the
attribute, a warning is emitted and the overridden attribute
is skipped. This is a limitation that it is hoped will be
resolved at some point.

The abstract base class is handled by declarative in a special way;
at class configuration time, it behaves like a declarative mixin
or an ``__abstract__`` base class. Once classes are configured
and mappings are produced, it then gets mapped itself, but
after all of its decscendants. This is a very unique system of mapping
not found in any other SQLAlchemy system.
Using this approach, we can specify columns and properties
that will take place on mapped subclasses, in the way that
we normally do as in :ref:`declarative_mixins`::
class Company(Base):
__tablename__ = 'company'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
class Employee(AbstractConcreteBase, Base):
employee_id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
@declared_attr
def company_id(cls):
return Column(ForeignKey('company.id'))
@declared_attr
def company(cls):
return relationship("Company")
class Manager(Employee):
__tablename__ = 'manager'
name = Column(String(50))
manager_data = Column(String(40))
__mapper_args__ = {
'polymorphic_identity':'manager',
'concrete':True}
When we make use of our mappings however, both ``Manager`` and
``Employee`` will have an independently usable ``.company`` attribute::
session.query(Employee).filter(Employee.company.has(id=5))

"""A helper class for construction of mappings based on
a deferred reflection step.
Normally, declarative can be used with reflection by
setting a :class:`.Table` object using autoload=True
as the ``__table__`` attribute on a declarative class.
The caveat is that the :class:`.Table` must be fully
reflected, or at the very least have a primary key column,
at the point at which a normal declarative mapping is
constructed, meaning the :class:`.Engine` must be available
at class declaration time.
The :class:`.DeferredReflection` mixin moves the construction
of mappers to be at a later point, after a specific
method is called which first reflects all :class:`.Table`
objects created so far. Classes can define it as such::
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import DeferredReflection
Base = declarative_base()
class MyClass(DeferredReflection, Base):
__tablename__ = 'mytable'
Above, ``MyClass`` is not yet mapped. After a series of
classes have been defined in the above fashion, all tables
can be reflected and mappings created using
:meth:`.prepare`::
engine = create_engine("someengine://...")
DeferredReflection.prepare(engine)
The :class:`.DeferredReflection` mixin can be applied to individual
classes, used as the base for the declarative base itself,
or used in a custom abstract class. Using an abstract base
allows that only a subset of classes to be prepared for a
particular prepare step, which is necessary for applications
that use more than one engine. For example, if an application
has two engines, you might use two bases, and prepare each
separately, e.g.::
class ReflectedOne(DeferredReflection, Base):
__abstract__ = True
class ReflectedTwo(DeferredReflection, Base):
__abstract__ = True
class MyClass(ReflectedOne):
__tablename__ = 'mytable'
class MyOtherClass(ReflectedOne):
__tablename__ = 'myothertable'
class YetAnotherClass(ReflectedTwo):
__tablename__ = 'yetanothertable'
# ... etc.
Above, the class hierarchies for ``ReflectedOne`` and
``ReflectedTwo`` can be configured separately::
ReflectedOne.prepare(engine_one)
ReflectedTwo.prepare(engine_two)
