How to do a JOIN in SQLAlchemy on 3 tables, where one of them is mapping between other two?
Assuming that you set the ForeignKey constraints correctly and created mappers:
q = Session.query(Articles).filter(Articles.article_id == ArticleTags.article_id).\ filter(ArticleTags.tag_id == Tags.tag_id).\ filter(Tags.name == 'tag_name')If you have setup a Many-to-Many relation it's even more simple:
q = Session.query(Articles).filter(Articles.tags.any(name = 'tag_name'))For some more examples for blog-related queries look here.
If you use the sql expression language, it should be straight forward translateable.
