sqlalchemy unique 3 columns code example

Example: sqlalchemy unique pair of columns

# version1: table definition
mytable = Table('mytable', meta,
    # ...
    Column('customer_id', Integer, ForeignKey('customers.customer_id')),
    Column('location_code', Unicode(10)),

    UniqueConstraint('customer_id', 'location_code', name='uix_1')
    )
# or the index, which will ensure uniqueness as well
Index('myindex', mytable.c.customer_id, mytable.c.location_code, unique=True)


# version2: declarative
class Location(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'locations'
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key = True)
    customer_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('customers.customer_id'), nullable=False)
    location_code = Column(Unicode(10), nullable=False)
    __table_args__ = (UniqueConstraint('customer_id', 'location_code', name='_customer_location_uc'),
                     )
