Sqlalchemy可以很好地处理多个附加的SQLite数据库文件吗？

Question

It's possible to connect multiple SQLite databases together using the 'ATTACH' statement and work with them jointly. Tables in each SQLite file can be referenced using a schema/file specific keyword. This should allow you to simultaneously deal with multiple tables with the same name by scoping by file. I went through a very good tutorial on how to do this is here:

http://longweekendmobile.com/2010/05/29/how-to-attach-multiple-sqlite-databases-together/

It seemed like I should be able to use SQLAlchemy's Table 'schema' keyword to differentiate between connections to multiple files. When I went searching for a way to use SQLAlchemy with SQLite databases that had been connected via ATTACH, this was the only example I found. Unfortunately, it is out of date and does not seem to work with current versions.

I tried to update that example using Declarative classes, etc. Here was my attempt:

from sqlalchemy import *
from sqlalchemy.orm import * 
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import *
#from sqlalchemy.pool import SingletonThreadPool

metadata = MetaData(object)
DeclarativeBase = declarative_base(metadata=metadata)

##########################################################################
# Classes

class A(DeclarativeBase):
    __table__              = Table('A', DeclarativeBase.metadata,
                                   Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True, index=True, autoincrement=True),
                                   Column('col_a', Integer, index=True))

class B(DeclarativeBase):
    __table__              = Table('B', DeclarativeBase.metadata,
                                   Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True, index=True, autoincrement=True),
                                   Column('col_b', Integer, index=True),
                                   schema='database_b')

#engine = create_engine('sqlite:////tmp/database_a.sqlite',echo=True, poolclass=SingletonThreadPool)
engine = create_engine('sqlite:////tmp/database_a.sqlite',echo=True)
db     = engine.connect()
db.execute("ATTACH DATABASE '/tmp/database_b.sqlite' AS database_b")

DeclarativeBase.metadata.create_all(engine)
Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
session = Session()
session.commit()

Unfortunately, I got the following output:

I read that this sort of thing can be done using Postgres schemas. Multiple attached SQLite databases seems like a natural counterpart. I suspect I'm either doing something stupid or missed some important point. Is it possible to use SQLAlchemy to work with multiple SQLite files at the same time? If so, what's the best way to do it? Are there other ORMs that make this easier than SQLAlchemy does?

Thanks! Dan

Create Engine of SQlite with inmemory than attach different database files

from sqlalchemy import create_engine, MetaData, Table,Column,Integer,select
from sqlalchemy.orm import mapper, sessionmaker
from sqlite3 import dbapi2 as sqlite
from sqlalchemy.engine.reflection import Inspector

class Bookmarks(object):
    pass

class BookmarksB(object):
    pass



def loadSession():
    engine = create_engine('sqlite://', echo=True)
    engine.execute("attach database 'database_b' as BB;")
    engine.execute("attach database 'database_a' as AA;")
    metadata = MetaData(engine)


    inspector = Inspector.from_engine(engine)
    print inspector.get_table_names()

    moz_bookmarks = Table('table_a', metadata,Column("id", Integer, primary_key=True),schema='AA', autoload=True)
    mapper(Bookmarks, moz_bookmarks)
    moz_bookmarksB = Table('table_b', metadata,Column("id", Integer, primary_key=True),schema='BB', autoload=True)
    mapper(BookmarksB, moz_bookmarksB)

    Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
    session = Session()
    return session

if __name__ == "__main__":
    session = loadSession()
    res = session.query(Bookmarks).all()
    for m in res:
        print m.msisdn,m.id

    #print list(select([moz_bookmarks, moz_bookmarksB], moz_bookmarks.c.b_id == moz_bookmarksB.c.id).execute())
