Thread: [SQLObject] Incorrect join column name

Hi,

I've only recently started experimenting with SQLObject so please
forgive me if this turns out to be complete nonsense ;-).

There seems to be a problem with the name that is generated for a join
column when a class explicitly sets the name of the table (using
_table). Here's an example:

class Order(SQLObject.SQLObject):
    _table = 'ordr'
    _columns = [
        SQLObject.IntCol('number', dbName='nmbr'),
        SQLObject.IntCol('customerID', foreignKey='Customer'),
        ]
    _joins = [SQLObject.MultipleJoin('OrderItem'),]

class OrderItem(SQLObject.SQLObject):
    _columns = [
        SQLObject.IntCol('orderID', foreignKey='Order'),
        SQLObject.IntCol('productID', foreignKey='Product'),
        SQLObject.IntCol('quantity'),
        ]

(Ignore the Customer and Product classes - they're not relevant.)

>From the above, SQLObject creates the following tables:

CREATE TABLE ordr (
    id serial NOT NULL,
    nmbr integer,
    customer_id integer
);

CREATE TABLE order_item (
    id serial NOT NULL,
    order_id integer,
    product_id integer,
    quantity integer
);

So far, so good. However when I have an existing Order (with id=1) and I
"call" order.orderItems the following SQL is executed:

SELECT id FROM order_item WHERE ordr_id = 1

As you can see, ordr_id is wrong - it should be order_id.

I started trying to fix the error but realised that I don't actually
know what to fix - the table creation code or the join code. i.e. should
the created table's column be called ordr_id or should the join SQL use
order_id?

If someone who understands what SQLObject's *should* be doing can tell
me what to fix I will try to send a patch.
