r"""Define an extension to the :mod:`sqlalchemy.ext.declarative` system
which automatically generates mapped classes and relationships from a database
schema, typically though not necessarily one which is reflected.

.. versionadded:: 0.9.1 Added :mod:`sqlalchemy.ext.automap`.

It is hoped that the :class:`.AutomapBase` system provides a quick
and modernized solution to the problem that the very famous
`SQLSoup <https://sqlsoup.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_
also tries to solve, that of generating a quick and rudimentary object
model from an existing database on the fly.  By addressing the issue strictly
at the mapper configuration level, and integrating fully with existing
Declarative class techniques, :class:`.AutomapBase` seeks to provide
a well-integrated approach to the issue of expediently auto-generating ad-hoc
mappings.


Basic Use
=========

The simplest usage is to reflect an existing database into a new model.
We create a new :class:`.AutomapBase` class in a similar manner as to how
we create a declarative base class, using :func:`.automap_base`.
We then call :meth:`.AutomapBase.prepare` on the resulting base class,
asking it to reflect the schema and produce mappings::

    from sqlalchemy.ext.automap import automap_base
    from sqlalchemy.orm import Session
    from sqlalchemy import create_engine

    Base = automap_base()

    # engine, suppose it has two tables 'user' and 'address' set up
    engine = create_engine("sqlite:///mydatabase.db")

    # reflect the tables
    Base.prepare(engine, reflect=True)

    # mapped classes are now created with names by default
    # matching that of the table name.
    User = Base.classes.user
    Address = Base.classes.address

    session = Session(engine)

    # rudimentary relationships are produced
    session.add(Address(email_address="foo@bar.com", user=User(name="foo")))
    session.commit()

    # collection-based relationships are by default named
    # "<classname>_collection"
    print (u1.address_collection)

Above, calling :meth:`.AutomapBase.prepare` while passing along the
:paramref:`.AutomapBase.prepare.reflect` parameter indicates that the
:meth:`.MetaData.reflect` method will be called on this declarative base
classes' :class:`.MetaData` collection; then, each **viable**
:class:`.Table` within the :class:`.MetaData` will get a new mapped class
generated automatically.  The :class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint` objects which
link the various tables together will be used to produce new, bidirectional
:func:`.relationship` objects between classes.   The classes and relationships
follow along a default naming scheme that we can customize.  At this point,
our basic mapping consisting of related ``User`` and ``Address`` classes is
ready to use in the traditional way.

.. note:: By **viable**, we mean that for a table to be mapped, it must
   specify a primary key.  Additionally, if the table is detected as being
   a pure association table between two other tables, it will not be directly
   mapped and will instead be configured as a many-to-many table between
   the mappings for the two referring tables.

Generating Mappings from an Existing MetaData
=============================================

We can pass a pre-declared :class:`.MetaData` object to :func:`.automap_base`.
This object can be constructed in any way, including programmatically, from
a serialized file, or from itself being reflected using
:meth:`.MetaData.reflect`.  Below we illustrate a combination of reflection and
explicit table declaration::

    from sqlalchemy import create_engine, MetaData, Table, Column, ForeignKey
    engine = create_engine("sqlite:///mydatabase.db")

    # produce our own MetaData object
    metadata = MetaData()

    # we can reflect it ourselves from a database, using options
    # such as 'only' to limit what tables we look at...
    metadata.reflect(engine, only=['user', 'address'])

    # ... or just define our own Table objects with it (or combine both)
    Table('user_order', metadata,
                    Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True),
                    Column('user_id', ForeignKey('user.id'))
                )

    # we can then produce a set of mappings from this MetaData.
    Base = automap_base(metadata=metadata)

    # calling prepare() just sets up mapped classes and relationships.
    Base.prepare()

    # mapped classes are ready
    User, Address, Order = Base.classes.user, Base.classes.address,\
        Base.classes.user_order

Specifying Classes Explicitly
=============================

The :mod:`.sqlalchemy.ext.automap` extension allows classes to be defined
explicitly, in a way similar to that of the :class:`.DeferredReflection` class.
Classes that extend from :class:`.AutomapBase` act like regular declarative
classes, but are not immediately mapped after their construction, and are
instead mapped when we call :meth:`.AutomapBase.prepare`.  The
:meth:`.AutomapBase.prepare` method will make use of the classes we've
established based on the table name we use.  If our schema contains tables
``user`` and ``address``, we can define one or both of the classes to be used::

    from sqlalchemy.ext.automap import automap_base
    from sqlalchemy import create_engine

    # automap base
    Base = automap_base()

    # pre-declare User for the 'user' table
    class User(Base):
        __tablename__ = 'user'

        # override schema elements like Columns
        user_name = Column('name', String)

        # override relationships too, if desired.
        # we must use the same name that automap would use for the
        # relationship, and also must refer to the class name that automap will
        # generate for "address"
        address_collection = relationship("address", collection_class=set)

    # reflect
    engine = create_engine("sqlite:///mydatabase.db")
    Base.prepare(engine, reflect=True)

    # we still have Address generated from the tablename "address",
    # but User is the same as Base.classes.User now

    Address = Base.classes.address

    u1 = session.query(User).first()
    print (u1.address_collection)

    # the backref is still there:
    a1 = session.query(Address).first()
    print (a1.user)

Above, one of the more intricate details is that we illustrated overriding
one of the :func:`.relationship` objects that automap would have created.
To do this, we needed to make sure the names match up with what automap
would normally generate, in that the relationship name would be
``User.address_collection`` and the name of the class referred to, from
automap's perspective, is called ``address``, even though we are referring to
it as ``Address`` within our usage of this class.

Overriding Naming Schemes
=========================

:mod:`.sqlalchemy.ext.automap` is tasked with producing mapped classes and
relationship names based on a schema, which means it has decision points in how
these names are determined.  These three decision points are provided using
functions which can be passed to the :meth:`.AutomapBase.prepare` method, and
are known as :func:`.classname_for_table`,
:func:`.name_for_scalar_relationship`,
and :func:`.name_for_collection_relationship`.  Any or all of these
functions are provided as in the example below, where we use a "camel case"
scheme for class names and a "pluralizer" for collection names using the
`Inflect <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/inflect>`_ package::

    import re
    import inflect

    def camelize_classname(base, tablename, table):
        "Produce a 'camelized' class name, e.g. "
        "'words_and_underscores' -> 'WordsAndUnderscores'"

        return str(tablename[0].upper() + \
                re.sub(r'_([a-z])', lambda m: m.group(1).upper(), tablename[1:]))

    _pluralizer = inflect.engine()
    def pluralize_collection(base, local_cls, referred_cls, constraint):
        "Produce an 'uncamelized', 'pluralized' class name, e.g. "
        "'SomeTerm' -> 'some_terms'"

        referred_name = referred_cls.__name__
        uncamelized = re.sub(r'[A-Z]',
                             lambda m: "_%s" % m.group(0).lower(),
                             referred_name)[1:]
        pluralized = _pluralizer.plural(uncamelized)
        return pluralized

    from sqlalchemy.ext.automap import automap_base

    Base = automap_base()

    engine = create_engine("sqlite:///mydatabase.db")

    Base.prepare(engine, reflect=True,
                classname_for_table=camelize_classname,
                name_for_collection_relationship=pluralize_collection
        )

From the above mapping, we would now have classes ``User`` and ``Address``,
where the collection from ``User`` to ``Address`` is called
``User.addresses``::

    User, Address = Base.classes.User, Base.classes.Address

    u1 = User(addresses=[Address(email="foo@bar.com")])

Relationship Detection
======================

The vast majority of what automap accomplishes is the generation of
:func:`.relationship` structures based on foreign keys.  The mechanism
by which this works for many-to-one and one-to-many relationships is as
follows:

1. A given :class:`.Table`, known to be mapped to a particular class,
   is examined for :class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint` objects.

2. From each :class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint`, the remote :class:`.Table`
   object present is matched up to the class to which it is to be mapped,
   if any, else it is skipped.

3. As the :class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint` we are examining corresponds to a
   reference from the immediate mapped class,  the relationship will be set up
   as a many-to-one referring to the referred class; a corresponding
   one-to-many backref will be created on the referred class referring
   to this class.

4. If any of the columns that are part of the :class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint`
   are not nullable (e.g. ``nullable=False``), a
   :paramref:`~.relationship.cascade` keyword argument
   of ``all, delete-orphan`` will be added to the keyword arguments to
   be passed to the relationship or backref.  If the
   :class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint` reports that
   :paramref:`.ForeignKeyConstraint.ondelete`
   is set to ``CASCADE`` for a not null or ``SET NULL`` for a nullable
   set of columns, the option :paramref:`~.relationship.passive_deletes`
   flag is set to ``True`` in the set of relationship keyword arguments.
   Note that not all backends support reflection of ON DELETE.

   .. versionadded:: 1.0.0 - automap will detect non-nullable foreign key
      constraints when producing a one-to-many relationship and establish
      a default cascade of ``all, delete-orphan`` if so; additionally,
      if the constraint specifies :paramref:`.ForeignKeyConstraint.ondelete`
      of ``CASCADE`` for non-nullable or ``SET NULL`` for nullable columns,
      the ``passive_deletes=True`` option is also added.

5. The names of the relationships are determined using the
   :paramref:`.AutomapBase.prepare.name_for_scalar_relationship` and
   :paramref:`.AutomapBase.prepare.name_for_collection_relationship`
   callable functions.  It is important to note that the default relationship
   naming derives the name from the **the actual class name**.  If you've
   given a particular class an explicit name by declaring it, or specified an
   alternate class naming scheme, that's the name from which the relationship
   name will be derived.

6. The classes are inspected for an existing mapped property matching these
   names.  If one is detected on one side, but none on the other side,
   :class:`.AutomapBase` attempts to create a relationship on the missing side,
   then uses the :paramref:`.relationship.back_populates` parameter in order to
   point the new relationship to the other side.

7. In the usual case where no relationship is on either side,
   :meth:`.AutomapBase.prepare` produces a :func:`.relationship` on the
   "many-to-one" side and matches it to the other using the
   :paramref:`.relationship.backref` parameter.

8. Production of the :func:`.relationship` and optionally the :func:`.backref`
   is handed off to the :paramref:`.AutomapBase.prepare.generate_relationship`
   function, which can be supplied by the end-user in order to augment
   the arguments passed to :func:`.relationship` or :func:`.backref` or to
   make use of custom implementations of these functions.

Custom Relationship Arguments
-----------------------------

The :paramref:`.AutomapBase.prepare.generate_relationship` hook can be used
to add parameters to relationships.  For most cases, we can make use of the
existing :func:`.automap.generate_relationship` function to return
the object, after augmenting the given keyword dictionary with our own
arguments.

Below is an illustration of how to send
:paramref:`.relationship.cascade` and
:paramref:`.relationship.passive_deletes`
options along to all one-to-many relationships::

    from sqlalchemy.ext.automap import generate_relationship

    def _gen_relationship(base, direction, return_fn,
                                    attrname, local_cls, referred_cls, **kw):
        if direction is interfaces.ONETOMANY:
            kw['cascade'] = 'all, delete-orphan'
            kw['passive_deletes'] = True
        # make use of the built-in function to actually return
        # the result.
        return generate_relationship(base, direction, return_fn,
                                     attrname, local_cls, referred_cls, **kw)

    from sqlalchemy.ext.automap import automap_base
    from sqlalchemy import create_engine

    # automap base
    Base = automap_base()

    engine = create_engine("sqlite:///mydatabase.db")
    Base.prepare(engine, reflect=True,
                generate_relationship=_gen_relationship)

Many-to-Many relationships
--------------------------

:mod:`.sqlalchemy.ext.automap` will generate many-to-many relationships, e.g.
those which contain a ``secondary`` argument.  The process for producing these
is as follows:

1. A given :class:`.Table` is examined for :class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint`
   objects, before any mapped class has been assigned to it.

2. If the table contains two and exactly two :class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint`
   objects, and all columns within this table are members of these two
   :class:`.ForeignKeyConstraint` objects, the table is assumed to be a
   "secondary" table, and will **not be mapped directly**.

3. The two (or one, for self-referential) external tables to which the
   :class:`.Table` refers to are matched to the classes to which they will be
   mapped, if any.

4. If mapped classes for both sides are located, a many-to-many bi-directional
   :func:`.relationship` / :func:`.backref` pair is created between the two
   classes.

5. The override logic for many-to-many works the same as that of one-to-many/
   many-to-one; the :func:`.generate_relationship` function is called upon
   to generate the strucures and existing attributes will be maintained.

Relationships with Inheritance
------------------------------

:mod:`.sqlalchemy.ext.automap` will not generate any relationships between
two classes that are in an inheritance relationship.   That is, with two
classes given as follows::

    class Employee(Base):
        __tablename__ = 'employee'
        id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
        type = Column(String(50))
        __mapper_args__ = {
             'polymorphic_identity':'employee', 'polymorphic_on': type
        }

    class Engineer(Employee):
        __tablename__ = 'engineer'
        id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('employee.id'), primary_key=True)
        __mapper_args__ = {
            'polymorphic_identity':'engineer',
        }

The foreign key from ``Engineer`` to ``Employee`` is used not for a
relationship, but to establish joined inheritance between the two classes.

Note that this means automap will not generate *any* relationships
for foreign keys that link from a subclass to a superclass.  If a mapping
has actual relationships from subclass to superclass as well, those
need to be explicit.  Below, as we have two separate foreign keys
from ``Engineer`` to ``Employee``, we need to set up both the relationship
we want as well as the ``inherit_condition``, as these are not things
SQLAlchemy can guess::

    class Employee(Base):
        __tablename__ = 'employee'
        id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
        type = Column(String(50))

        __mapper_args__ = {
            'polymorphic_identity':'employee', 'polymorphic_on':type
        }

    class Engineer(Employee):
        __tablename__ = 'engineer'
        id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('employee.id'), primary_key=True)
        favorite_employee_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('employee.id'))

        favorite_employee = relationship(Employee,
                                         foreign_keys=favorite_employee_id)

        __mapper_args__ = {
            'polymorphic_identity':'engineer',
            'inherit_condition': id == Employee.id
        }

Handling Simple Naming Conflicts
--------------------------------

In the case of naming conflicts during mapping, override any of
:func:`.classname_for_table`, :func:`.name_for_scalar_relationship`,
and :func:`.name_for_collection_relationship` as needed.  For example, if
automap is attempting to name a many-to-one relationship the same as an
existing column, an alternate convention can be conditionally selected.  Given
a schema:

.. sourcecode:: sql

    CREATE TABLE table_a (
        id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY
    );

    CREATE TABLE table_b (
        id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
        table_a INTEGER,
        FOREIGN KEY(table_a) REFERENCES table_a(id)
    );

The above schema will first automap the ``table_a`` table as a class named
``table_a``; it will then automap a relationship onto the class for ``table_b``
with the same name as this related class, e.g. ``table_a``.  This
relationship name conflicts with the mapping column ``table_b.table_a``,
and will emit an error on mapping.

We can resolve this conflict by using an underscore as follows::

    def name_for_scalar_relationship(base, local_cls, referred_cls, constraint):
        name = referred_cls.__name__.lower()
        local_table = local_cls.__table__
        if name in local_table.columns:
            newname = name + "_"
            warnings.warn(
                "Already detected name %s present.  using %s" %
                (name, newname))
            return newname
        return name


    Base.prepare(engine, reflect=True,
        name_for_scalar_relationship=name_for_scalar_relationship)

Alternatively, we can change the name on the column side.   The columns
that are mapped can be modified using the technique described at
:ref:`mapper_column_distinct_names`, by assigning the column explicitly
to a new name::

    Base = automap_base()

    class TableB(Base):
        __tablename__ = 'table_b'
        _table_a = Column('table_a', ForeignKey('table_a.id'))

    Base.prepare(engine, reflect=True)


Using Automap with Explicit Declarations
========================================

As noted previously, automap has no dependency on reflection, and can make
use of any collection of :class:`.Table` objects within a :class:`.MetaData`
collection.  From this, it follows that automap can also be used
generate missing relationships given an otherwise complete model that fully
defines table metadata::

    from sqlalchemy.ext.automap import automap_base
    from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String, ForeignKey

    Base = automap_base()

    class User(Base):
        __tablename__ = 'user'

        id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
        name = Column(String)

    class Address(Base):
        __tablename__ = 'address'

        id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
        email = Column(String)
        user_id = Column(ForeignKey('user.id'))

    # produce relationships
    Base.prepare()

    # mapping is complete, with "address_collection" and
    # "user" relationships
    a1 = Address(email='u1')
    a2 = Address(email='u2')
    u1 = User(address_collection=[a1, a2])
    assert a1.user is u1

Above, given mostly complete ``User`` and ``Address`` mappings, the
:class:`.ForeignKey` which we defined on ``Address.user_id`` allowed a
bidirectional relationship pair ``Address.user`` and
``User.address_collection`` to be generated on the mapped classes.

Note that when subclassing :class:`.AutomapBase`,
the :meth:`.AutomapBase.prepare` method is required; if not called, the classes
we've declared are in an un-mapped state.
