SQLAlchemy helper functions and constants.

We define our metadata Base here, and things like our index naming convention and MySQL table formats.

A few random notes:

  • SQLAlchemy will automatically warn about clashing columns:

    SAWarning: On class 'Thing', Column object 'b' named directly multiple
times, only one will be used: b, c. Consider using orm.synonym instead
camcops_server.cc_modules.cc_sqlalchemy.assert_constraint_name_ok(table_name: str, column_name: str) → None[source]

Checks that the automatically generated name of a constraint isn’t too long for specific databases.

Parameters:
  • table_name – table name
  • column_name – column name
Raises:

AssertionError, if something will break
