+ r"""declare a new ORM-mapped :class:`_schema.Column` construct
+ for use within :ref:`Declarative Table <orm_declarative_table>`
+ configuration.
+
+ The :func:`_orm.mapped_column` function provides an ORM-aware and
+ Python-typing-compatible construct which is used with
+ :ref:`declarative <orm_declarative_mapping>` mappings to indicate an
+ attribute that's mapped to a Core :class:`_schema.Column` object. It
+ provides the equivalent feature as mapping an attribute to a
+ :class:`_schema.Column` object directly when using Declarative,
+ specifically when using :ref:`Declarative Table <orm_declarative_table>`
+ configuration.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 2.0
+
+ :func:`_orm.mapped_column` is normally used with explicit typing along with
+ the :class:`_orm.Mapped` annotation type, where it can derive the SQL
+ type and nullability for the column based on what's present within the
+ :class:`_orm.Mapped` annotation. It also may be used without annotations
+ as a drop-in replacement for how :class:`_schema.Column` is used in
+ Declarative mappings in SQLAlchemy 1.x style.
+
+ For usage examples of :func:`_orm.mapped_column`, see the documentation
+ at :ref:`orm_declarative_table`.
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ :ref:`orm_declarative_table` - complete documentation
+
+ :ref:`whatsnew_20_orm_declarative_typing` - migration notes for
+ Declarative mappings using 1.x style mappings
+
+ :param __name: String name to give to the :class:`_schema.Column`. This
+ is an optional, positional only argument that if present must be the
+ first positional argument passed. If omitted, the attribute name to
+ which the :func:`_orm.mapped_column` is mapped will be used as the SQL
+ column name.
+ :param __type: :class:`_types.TypeEngine` type or instance which will
+ indicate the datatype to be associated with the :class:`_schema.Column`.
+ This is an optional, positional-only argument that if present must
+ immediately follow the ``__name`` parameter if present also, or otherwise
+ be the first positional parameter. If omitted, the ultimate type for
+ the column may be derived either from the annotated type, or if a
+ :class:`_schema.ForeignKey` is present, from the datatype of the
+ referenced column.
+ :param \*args: Additional positional arguments include constructs such
+ as :class:`_schema.ForeignKey`, :class:`_schema.CheckConstraint`,
+ and :class:`_schema.Identity`, which are passed through to the constructed
+ :class:`_schema.Column`.
+ :param nullable: Optional bool, whether the column should be "NULL" or
+ "NOT NULL". If omitted, the nullability is derived from the type
+ annotation based on whether or not ``typing.Optional`` is present.
+ ``nullable`` defaults to ``True`` otherwise for non-primary key columns,
+ and ``False`` for primary key columns.
+ :param primary_key: optional bool, indicates the :class:`_schema.Column`
+ would be part of the table's primary key or not.
+ :param deferred: Optional bool - this keyword argument is consumed by the
+ ORM declarative process, and is not part of the :class:`_schema.Column`
+ itself; instead, it indicates that this column should be "deferred" for
+ loading as though mapped by :func:`_orm.deferred`.
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ :ref:`orm_queryguide_deferred_declarative`
+
+ :param deferred_group: Implies :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.deferred`
+ to ``True``, and set the :paramref:`_orm.deferred.group` parameter.
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ :ref:`orm_queryguide_deferred_group`
+
+ :param deferred_raiseload: Implies :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.deferred`
+ to ``True``, and set the :paramref:`_orm.deferred.raiseload` parameter.
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ :ref:`orm_queryguide_deferred_raiseload`
+
+ :param use_existing_column: if True, will attempt to locate the given
+ column name on an inherited superclass (typically single inheriting
+ superclass), and if present, will not produce a new column, mapping
+ to the superclass column as though it were omitted from this class.
+ This is used for mixins that add new columns to an inherited superclass.
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ :ref:`orm_inheritance_column_conflicts`
+
+ .. versionadded:: 2.0.0b4
+
+ :param default: Passed directly to the
+ :paramref:`_schema.Column.default` parameter if the
+ :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.insert_default` parameter is not present.
+ Additionally, when used with :ref:`orm_declarative_native_dataclasses`,
+ indicates a default Python value that should be applied to the keyword
+ constructor within the generated ``__init__()`` method.
+
+ Note that in the case of dataclass generation when
+ :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.insert_default` is not present, this means
+ the :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.default` value is used in **two**
+ places, both the ``__init__()`` method as well as the
+ :paramref:`_schema.Column.default` parameter. While this behavior may
+ change in a future release, for the moment this tends to "work out"; a
+ default of ``None`` will mean that the :class:`_schema.Column` gets no
+ default generator, whereas a default that refers to a non-``None`` Python
+ or SQL expression value will be assigned up front on the object when
+ ``__init__()`` is called, which is the same value that the Core
+ :class:`_sql.Insert` construct would use in any case, leading to the same
+ end result.
+
+ .. note:: When using Core level column defaults that are callables to
+ be interpreted by the underlying :class:`_schema.Column` in conjunction
+ with :ref:`ORM-mapped dataclasses
+ <orm_declarative_native_dataclasses>`, especially those that are
+ :ref:`context-aware default functions <context_default_functions>`,
+ **the** :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.insert_default` **parameter must
+ be used instead**. This is necessary to disambiguate the callable from
+ being interpreted as a dataclass level default.
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ :ref:`defaults_default_factory_insert_default`
+
+ :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.insert_default`
+
+ :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.default_factory`
+
+ :param insert_default: Passed directly to the
+ :paramref:`_schema.Column.default` parameter; will supersede the value
+ of :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.default` when present, however
+ :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.default` will always apply to the
+ constructor default for a dataclasses mapping.
+

+
+ :ref:`defaults_default_factory_insert_default`
+
+ :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.default`
+
+ :paramref:`_orm.mapped_column.default_factory`
+
+ :param sort_order: An integer that indicates how this mapped column
+ should be sorted compared to the others when the ORM is creating a
+ :class:`_schema.Table`. Among mapped columns that have the same
+ value the default ordering is used, placing first the mapped columns
+ defined in the main class, then the ones in the super classes.
+ Defaults to 0. The sort is ascending.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 2.0.4
+
+ :param active_history=False:
+
+ When ``True``, indicates that the "previous" value for a
+ scalar attribute should be loaded when replaced, if not
+ already loaded. Normally, history tracking logic for
+ simple non-primary-key scalar values only needs to be
+ aware of the "new" value in order to perform a flush. This
+ flag is available for applications that make use of
+ :func:`.attributes.get_history` or :meth:`.Session.is_modified`
+ which also need to know the "previous" value of the attribute.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 2.0.10
+
+
+ :param init: Specific to :ref:`orm_declarative_native_dataclasses`,
+ specifies if the mapped attribute should be part of the ``__init__()``

+ """Add additional WHERE criteria to the load for all occurrences of

+
+ .. versionadded:: 1.4
+
+ The :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` option is intended to add
+ limiting criteria to a particular kind of entity in a query,
+ **globally**, meaning it will apply to the entity as it appears
+ in the SELECT query as well as within any subqueries, join
+ conditions, and relationship loads, including both eager and lazy
+ loaders, without the need for it to be specified in any particular
+ part of the query. The rendering logic uses the same system used by
+ single table inheritance to ensure a certain discriminator is applied
+ to a table.
+
+ E.g., using :term:`2.0-style` queries, we can limit the way the
+ ``User.addresses`` collection is loaded, regardless of the kind
+ of loading used::
+
+ from sqlalchemy.orm import with_loader_criteria
+
+ stmt = select(User).options(
+ selectinload(User.addresses),
+ with_loader_criteria(Address, Address.email_address != "foo"),
+ )
+
+ Above, the "selectinload" for ``User.addresses`` will apply the
+ given filtering criteria to the WHERE clause.
+
+ Another example, where the filtering will be applied to the
+ ON clause of the join, in this example using :term:`1.x style`
+ queries::
+
+ q = (
+ session.query(User)
+ .outerjoin(User.addresses)
+ .options(with_loader_criteria(Address, Address.email_address != "foo"))
+ )
+
+ The primary purpose of :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` is to use
+ it in the :meth:`_orm.SessionEvents.do_orm_execute` event handler
+ to ensure that all occurrences of a particular entity are filtered
+ in a certain way, such as filtering for access control roles. It
+ also can be used to apply criteria to relationship loads. In the
+ example below, we can apply a certain set of rules to all queries
+ emitted by a particular :class:`_orm.Session`::
+
+ session = Session(bind=engine)
+
+
+ @event.listens_for("do_orm_execute", session)
+ def _add_filtering_criteria(execute_state):
+
+ if (
+ execute_state.is_select
+ and not execute_state.is_column_load
+ and not execute_state.is_relationship_load
+ ):
+ execute_state.statement = execute_state.statement.options(
+ with_loader_criteria(
+ SecurityRole,
+ lambda cls: cls.role.in_(["some_role"]),
+ include_aliases=True,
+ )
+ )
+
+ In the above example, the :meth:`_orm.SessionEvents.do_orm_execute`
+ event will intercept all queries emitted using the
+ :class:`_orm.Session`. For those queries which are SELECT statements
+ and are not attribute or relationship loads a custom
+ :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` option is added to the query. The
+ :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` option will be used in the given
+ statement and will also be automatically propagated to all relationship
+ loads that descend from this query.
+
+ The criteria argument given is a ``lambda`` that accepts a ``cls``
+ argument. The given class will expand to include all mapped subclass
+ and need not itself be a mapped class.
+
+ .. tip::
+
+ When using :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` option in
+ conjunction with the :func:`_orm.contains_eager` loader option,
+ it's important to note that :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` only
+ affects the part of the query that determines what SQL is rendered
+ in terms of the WHERE and FROM clauses. The
+ :func:`_orm.contains_eager` option does not affect the rendering of
+ the SELECT statement outside of the columns clause, so does not have
+ any interaction with the :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` option.
+ However, the way things "work" is that :func:`_orm.contains_eager`
+ is meant to be used with a query that is already selecting from the
+ additional entities in some way, where
+ :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` can apply it's additional
+ criteria.
+
+ In the example below, assuming a mapping relationship as
+ ``A -> A.bs -> B``, the given :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria`
+ option will affect the way in which the JOIN is rendered::
+
+ stmt = (
+ select(A)
+ .join(A.bs)
+ .options(contains_eager(A.bs), with_loader_criteria(B, B.flag == 1))
+ )
+
+ Above, the given :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` option will
+ affect the ON clause of the JOIN that is specified by
+ ``.join(A.bs)``, so is applied as expected. The
+ :func:`_orm.contains_eager` option has the effect that columns from
+ ``B`` are added to the columns clause:
+
+ .. sourcecode:: sql
+
+ SELECT
+ b.id, b.a_id, b.data, b.flag,
+ a.id AS id_1,
+ a.data AS data_1
+ FROM a JOIN b ON a.id = b.a_id AND b.flag = :flag_1
+
+
+ The use of the :func:`_orm.contains_eager` option within the above
+ statement has no effect on the behavior of the
+ :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` option. If the
+ :func:`_orm.contains_eager` option were omitted, the SQL would be
+ the same as regards the FROM and WHERE clauses, where
+ :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` continues to add its criteria to
+ the ON clause of the JOIN. The addition of
+ :func:`_orm.contains_eager` only affects the columns clause, in that
+ additional columns against ``b`` are added which are then consumed
+ by the ORM to produce ``B`` instances.
+
+ .. warning:: The use of a lambda inside of the call to
+ :func:`_orm.with_loader_criteria` is only invoked **once per unique
+ class**. Custom functions should not be invoked within this lambda.
+ See :ref:`engine_lambda_caching` for an overview of the "lambda SQL"
+ feature, which is for advanced use only.
+
+ :param entity_or_base: a mapped class, or a class that is a super
+ class of a particular set of mapped classes, to which the rule
+ will apply.
+
+ :param where_criteria: a Core SQL expression that applies limiting
+ criteria. This may also be a "lambda:" or Python function that
+ accepts a target class as an argument, when the given class is
+ a base with many different mapped subclasses.
+
+ .. note:: To support pickling, use a module-level Python function to
+ produce the SQL expression instead of a lambda or a fixed SQL
+ expression, which tend to not be picklable.
+
+ :param include_aliases: if True, apply the rule to :func:`_orm.aliased`
+ constructs as well.
+
+ :param propagate_to_loaders: defaults to True, apply to relationship
+ loaders such as lazy loaders. This indicates that the
+ option object itself including SQL expression is carried along with
+ each loaded instance. Set to ``False`` to prevent the object from
+ being assigned to individual instances.

+ :meth:`_orm.SessionEvents.do_orm_execute` event.
+
+ :param track_closure_variables: when False, closure variables inside
+ of a lambda expression will not be used as part of
+ any cache key. This allows more complex expressions to be used
+ inside of a lambda expression but requires that the lambda ensures
+ it returns the identical SQL every time given a particular class.

+ object's :paramref:`_orm.relationship.primaryjoin` condition.
+ That is, if the :paramref:`_orm.relationship.primaryjoin`
+ condition of this :func:`_orm.relationship` is ``a.id ==
+ b.a_id``, and the values in ``b.a_id`` are required to be
+ present in ``a.id``, then the "foreign key" column of this
+ :func:`_orm.relationship` is ``b.a_id``.
+
+ In normal cases, the :paramref:`_orm.relationship.foreign_keys`
+ parameter is **not required.** :func:`_orm.relationship` will
+ automatically determine which columns in the
+ :paramref:`_orm.relationship.primaryjoin` condition are to be
+ considered "foreign key" columns based on those
+ :class:`_schema.Column` objects that specify
+ :class:`_schema.ForeignKey`,
+ or are otherwise listed as referencing columns in a
+ :class:`_schema.ForeignKeyConstraint` construct.
+ :paramref:`_orm.relationship.foreign_keys` is only needed when:
+
+ 1. There is more than one way to construct a join from the local
+ table to the remote table, as there are multiple foreign key
+ references present. Setting ``foreign_keys`` will limit the
+ :func:`_orm.relationship`
+ to consider just those columns specified
+ here as "foreign".
+
+ 2. The :class:`_schema.Table` being mapped does not actually have
+ :class:`_schema.ForeignKey` or
+ :class:`_schema.ForeignKeyConstraint`
+ constructs present, often because the table
+ was reflected from a database that does not support foreign key
+ reflection (MySQL MyISAM).
+
+ 3. The :paramref:`_orm.relationship.primaryjoin`
+ argument is used to
+ construct a non-standard join condition, which makes use of
+ columns or expressions that do not normally refer to their
+ "parent" column, such as a join condition expressed by a
+ complex comparison using a SQL function.
+

+
+ :param info: Optional data dictionary which will be populated into the

+
+ :param innerjoin=False:
+ When ``True``, joined eager loads will use an inner join to join
+ against related tables instead of an outer join. The purpose
+ of this option is generally one of performance, as inner joins
+ generally perform better than outer joins.
+
+ This flag can be set to ``True`` when the relationship references an
+ object via many-to-one using local foreign keys that are not
+ nullable, or when the reference is one-to-one or a collection that
+ is guaranteed to have one or at least one entry.
+
+ The option supports the same "nested" and "unnested" options as
+ that of :paramref:`_orm.joinedload.innerjoin`. See that flag
+ for details on nested / unnested behaviors.

+ loader option, including detail on nesting behavior.

+ various loader options.
+
+
+ :param join_depth:
+ When non-``None``, an integer value indicating how many levels
+ deep "eager" loaders should join on a self-referring or cyclical
+ relationship. The number counts how many times the same Mapper
+ shall be present in the loading condition along a particular join
+ branch. When left at its default of ``None``, eager loaders
+ will stop chaining when they encounter a the same target mapper
+ which is already higher up in the chain. This option applies
+ both to joined- and subquery- eager loaders.
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ :ref:`self_referential_eager_loading` - Introductory documentation
+ and examples.
+
+ :param lazy='select': specifies
+ How the related items should be loaded. Default value is
+ ``select``. Values include:
+
+ * ``select`` - items should be loaded lazily when the property is
+ first accessed, using a separate SELECT statement, or identity map
+ fetch for simple many-to-one references.
+
+ * ``immediate`` - items should be loaded as the parents are loaded,
+ using a separate SELECT statement, or identity map fetch for
+ simple many-to-one references.
+
+ * ``joined`` - items should be loaded "eagerly" in the same query as
+ that of the parent, using a JOIN or LEFT OUTER JOIN. Whether
+ the join is "outer" or not is determined by the
+ :paramref:`_orm.relationship.innerjoin` parameter.
+
+ * ``subquery`` - items should be loaded "eagerly" as the parents are
+ loaded, using one additional SQL statement, which issues a JOIN to
+ a subquery of the original statement, for each collection
+ requested.
+
+ * ``selectin`` - items should be loaded "eagerly" as the parents
+ are loaded, using one or more additional SQL statements, which
+ issues a JOIN to the immediate parent object, specifying primary
+ key identifiers using an IN clause.
+
+ * ``noload`` - no loading should occur at any time. The related
+ collection will remain empty. The ``noload`` strategy is not
+ recommended for general use. For a general use "never load"
+ approach, see :ref:`write_only_relationship`
+
+ * ``raise`` - lazy loading is disallowed; accessing
+ the attribute, if its value were not already loaded via eager
+ loading, will raise an :exc:`~sqlalchemy.exc.InvalidRequestError`.
+ This strategy can be used when objects are to be detached from
+ their attached :class:`.Session` after they are loaded.
+
+ * ``raise_on_sql`` - lazy loading that emits SQL is disallowed;
+ accessing the attribute, if its value were not already loaded via
+ eager loading, will raise an
+ :exc:`~sqlalchemy.exc.InvalidRequestError`, **if the lazy load
+ needs to emit SQL**. If the lazy load can pull the related value
+ from the identity map or determine that it should be None, the
+ value is loaded. This strategy can be used when objects will
+ remain associated with the attached :class:`.Session`, however
+ additional SELECT statements should be blocked.
+
+ * ``write_only`` - the attribute will be configured with a special
+ "virtual collection" that may receive
+ :meth:`_orm.WriteOnlyCollection.add` and
+ :meth:`_orm.WriteOnlyCollection.remove` commands to add or remove
+ individual objects, but will not under any circumstances load or
+ iterate the full set of objects from the database directly. Instead,
+ methods such as :meth:`_orm.WriteOnlyCollection.select`,
+ :meth:`_orm.WriteOnlyCollection.insert`,
+ :meth:`_orm.WriteOnlyCollection.update` and
+ :meth:`_orm.WriteOnlyCollection.delete` are provided which generate SQL
+ constructs that may be used to load and modify rows in bulk. Used for
+ large collections that are never appropriate to load at once into
+ memory.
+
+ The ``write_only`` loader style is configured automatically when
+ the :class:`_orm.WriteOnlyMapped` annotation is provided on the
+ left hand side within a Declarative mapping. See the section
+ :ref:`write_only_relationship` for examples.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 2.0
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ :ref:`write_only_relationship` - in the :ref:`queryguide_toplevel`
+
+ * ``dynamic`` - the attribute will return a pre-configured
+ :class:`_query.Query` object for all read
+ operations, onto which further filtering operations can be
+ applied before iterating the results.
+
+ The ``dynamic`` loader style is configured automatically when
+ the :class:`_orm.DynamicMapped` annotation is provided on the
+ left hand side within a Declarative mapping. See the section
+ :ref:`dynamic_relationship` for examples.
+

+
+
+ :param load_on_pending=False:
+ Indicates loading behavior for transient or pending parent objects.
+
+ When set to ``True``, causes the lazy-loader to
+ issue a query for a parent object that is not persistent, meaning it
+ has never been flushed. This may take effect for a pending object
+ when autoflush is disabled, or for a transient object that has been
+ "attached" to a :class:`.Session` but is not part of its pending
+ collection.
+
+ The :paramref:`_orm.relationship.load_on_pending`
+ flag does not improve
+ behavior when the ORM is used normally - object references should be
+ constructed at the object level, not at the foreign key level, so
+ that they are present in an ordinary way before a flush proceeds.
+ This flag is not not intended for general use.
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ :meth:`.Session.enable_relationship_loading` - this method
+ establishes "load on pending" behavior for the whole object, and
+ also allows loading on objects that remain transient or
+ detached.
+
+ :param order_by:
+ Indicates the ordering that should be applied when loading these
+ items. :paramref:`_orm.relationship.order_by`
+ is expected to refer to
+ one of the :class:`_schema.Column`
+ objects to which the target class is
+ mapped, or the attribute itself bound to the target class which
+ refers to the column.
+
+ :paramref:`_orm.relationship.order_by`
+ may also be passed as a callable
+ function which is evaluated at mapper initialization time, and may
+ be passed as a Python-evaluable string when using Declarative.
+
+ .. warning:: When passed as a Python-evaluable string, the
+ argument is interpreted using Python's ``eval()`` function.
+ **DO NOT PASS UNTRUSTED INPUT TO THIS STRING**.
+ See :ref:`declarative_relationship_eval` for details on
+ declarative evaluation of :func:`_orm.relationship` arguments.
+
+ :param passive_deletes=False:
+ Indicates loading behavior during delete operations.
+
+ A value of True indicates that unloaded child items should not
+ be loaded during a delete operation on the parent. Normally,
+ when a parent item is deleted, all child items are loaded so
+ that they can either be marked as deleted, or have their
+ foreign key to the parent set to NULL. Marking this flag as
+ True usually implies an ON DELETE <CASCADE|SET NULL> rule is in
+ place which will handle updating/deleting child rows on the
+ database side.
+
+ Additionally, setting the flag to the string value 'all' will
+ disable the "nulling out" of the child foreign keys, when the parent
+ object is deleted and there is no delete or delete-orphan cascade
+ enabled. This is typically used when a triggering or error raise
+ scenario is in place on the database side. Note that the foreign
+ key attributes on in-session child objects will not be changed after
+ a flush occurs so this is a very special use-case setting.
+ Additionally, the "nulling out" will still occur if the child
+ object is de-associated with the parent.
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ :ref:`passive_deletes` - Introductory documentation
+ and examples.
+
+ :param passive_updates=True:
+ Indicates the persistence behavior to take when a referenced
+ primary key value changes in place, indicating that the referencing
+ foreign key columns will also need their value changed.
+
+ When True, it is assumed that ``ON UPDATE CASCADE`` is configured on
+ the foreign key in the database, and that the database will
+ handle propagation of an UPDATE from a source column to
+ dependent rows. When False, the SQLAlchemy
+ :func:`_orm.relationship`
+ construct will attempt to emit its own UPDATE statements to
+ modify related targets. However note that SQLAlchemy **cannot**
+ emit an UPDATE for more than one level of cascade. Also,
+ setting this flag to False is not compatible in the case where
+ the database is in fact enforcing referential integrity, unless
+ those constraints are explicitly "deferred", if the target backend
+ supports it.
+
+ It is highly advised that an application which is employing
+ mutable primary keys keeps ``passive_updates`` set to True,
+ and instead uses the referential integrity features of the database
+ itself in order to handle the change efficiently and fully.
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ :ref:`passive_updates` - Introductory documentation and
+ examples.
+
+ :paramref:`.mapper.passive_updates` - a similar flag which
+ takes effect for joined-table inheritance mappings.
+
+ :param post_update:
+ This indicates that the relationship should be handled by a
+ second UPDATE statement after an INSERT or before a
+ DELETE. This flag is used to handle saving bi-directional
+ dependencies between two individual rows (i.e. each row
+ references the other), where it would otherwise be impossible to
+ INSERT or DELETE both rows fully since one row exists before the
+ other. Use this flag when a particular mapping arrangement will
+ incur two rows that are dependent on each other, such as a table
+ that has a one-to-many relationship to a set of child rows, and
+ also has a column that references a single child row within that
+ list (i.e. both tables contain a foreign key to each other). If
+ a flush operation returns an error that a "cyclical
+ dependency" was detected, this is a cue that you might want to
+ use :paramref:`_orm.relationship.post_update` to "break" the cycle.
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ :ref:`post_update` - Introductory documentation and examples.
+
+ :param primaryjoin:
+ A SQL expression that will be used as the primary
+ join of the child object against the parent object, or in a
+ many-to-many relationship the join of the parent object to the
+ association table. By default, this value is computed based on the
+ foreign key relationships of the parent and child tables (or
+ association table).
+
+ :paramref:`_orm.relationship.primaryjoin` may also be passed as a
+ callable function which is evaluated at mapper initialization time,
+ and may be passed as a Python-evaluable string when using
+ Declarative.
+
+ .. warning:: When passed as a Python-evaluable string, the
+ argument is interpreted using Python's ``eval()`` function.

+
+ :param remote_side:
+ Used for self-referential relationships, indicates the column or
+ list of columns that form the "remote side" of the relationship.

+ :paramref:`_orm.relationship.remote_side` may also be passed as a
+ callable function which is evaluated at mapper initialization time,
+ and may be passed as a Python-evaluable string when using

+ argument is interpreted using Python's ``eval()`` function.

+ same purpose as :paramref:`_orm.relationship.remote_side`,

+
+ :param query_class:
+ A :class:`_query.Query`
+ subclass that will be used internally by the
+ ``AppenderQuery`` returned by a "dynamic" relationship, that
+ is, a relationship that specifies ``lazy="dynamic"`` or was
+ otherwise constructed using the :func:`_orm.dynamic_loader`
+ function.
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ :ref:`dynamic_relationship` - Introduction to "dynamic"
+ relationship loaders.
+
+ :param secondaryjoin:
+ A SQL expression that will be used as the join of
+ an association table to the child object. By default, this value is
+ computed based on the foreign key relationships of the association
+ and child tables.
+
+ :paramref:`_orm.relationship.secondaryjoin` may also be passed as a
+ callable function which is evaluated at mapper initialization time,
+ and may be passed as a Python-evaluable string when using
+ Declarative.

+ .. warning:: When passed as a Python-evaluable string, the
+ argument is interpreted using Python's ``eval()`` function.

+
+ :param single_parent:
+ When True, installs a validator which will prevent objects
+ from being associated with more than one parent at a time.
+ This is used for many-to-one or many-to-many relationships that
+ should be treated either as one-to-one or one-to-many. Its usage
+ is optional, except for :func:`_orm.relationship` constructs which
+ are many-to-one or many-to-many and also
+ specify the ``delete-orphan`` cascade option. The
+ :func:`_orm.relationship` construct itself will raise an error
+ instructing when this option is required.
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ :ref:`unitofwork_cascades` - includes detail on when the
+ :paramref:`_orm.relationship.single_parent`
+ flag may be appropriate.
+
+ :param uselist:
+ A boolean that indicates if this property should be loaded as a
+ list or a scalar. In most cases, this value is determined
+ automatically by :func:`_orm.relationship` at mapper configuration
+ time. When using explicit :class:`_orm.Mapped` annotations,
+ :paramref:`_orm.relationship.uselist` may be derived from the
+ whether or not the annotation within :class:`_orm.Mapped` contains
+ a collection class.
+ Otherwise, :paramref:`_orm.relationship.uselist` may be derived from
+ the type and direction
+ of the relationship - one to many forms a list, many to one
+ forms a scalar, many to many is a list. If a scalar is desired
+ where normally a list would be present, such as a bi-directional
+ one-to-one relationship, use an appropriate :class:`_orm.Mapped`
+ annotation or set :paramref:`_orm.relationship.uselist` to False.
+
+ The :paramref:`_orm.relationship.uselist`
+ flag is also available on an
+ existing :func:`_orm.relationship`
+ construct as a read-only attribute,
+ which can be used to determine if this :func:`_orm.relationship`
+ deals
+ with collections or scalar attributes::
+
+ >>> User.addresses.property.uselist
+ True
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ :ref:`relationships_one_to_one` - Introduction to the "one to
+ one" relationship pattern, which is typically when an alternate
+ setting for :paramref:`_orm.relationship.uselist` is involved.
+
+ :param viewonly=False:
+ When set to ``True``, the relationship is used only for loading
+ objects, and not for any persistence operation. A
+ :func:`_orm.relationship` which specifies
+ :paramref:`_orm.relationship.viewonly` can work
+ with a wider range of SQL operations within the
+ :paramref:`_orm.relationship.primaryjoin` condition, including
+ operations that feature the use of a variety of comparison operators
+ as well as SQL functions such as :func:`_expression.cast`. The
+ :paramref:`_orm.relationship.viewonly`
+ flag is also of general use when defining any kind of
+ :func:`_orm.relationship` that doesn't represent
+ the full set of related objects, to prevent modifications of the
+ collection from resulting in persistence operations.
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ :ref:`relationship_viewonly_notes` - more details on best practices
+ when using :paramref:`_orm.relationship.viewonly`.
+
+ :param sync_backref:
+ A boolean that enables the events used to synchronize the in-Python
+ attributes when this relationship is target of either
+ :paramref:`_orm.relationship.backref` or
+ :paramref:`_orm.relationship.back_populates`.
+
+ Defaults to ``None``, which indicates that an automatic value should
+ be selected based on the value of the
+ :paramref:`_orm.relationship.viewonly` flag. When left at its
+ default, changes in state will be back-populated only if neither
+ sides of a relationship is viewonly.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 1.3.17
+
+ .. versionchanged:: 1.4 - A relationship that specifies
+ :paramref:`_orm.relationship.viewonly` automatically implies
+ that :paramref:`_orm.relationship.sync_backref` is ``False``.

+
+ :param omit_join:
+ Allows manual control over the "selectin" automatic join
+ optimization. Set to ``False`` to disable the "omit join" feature
+ added in SQLAlchemy 1.3; or leave as ``None`` to leave automatic
+ optimization in place.
+
+ .. note:: This flag may only be set to ``False``. It is not
+ necessary to set it to ``True`` as the "omit_join" optimization is
+ automatically detected; if it is not detected, then the
