My mapped tables are missing insert, update methods

[Michael Nachtigal]

After reading the documentation, I am under the impression that my mapped tables should have the methods insert() and update(). For example, see here:

http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_8/core/schema.html?highlight=update#sqlalchemy.schema.Table.update

But my mapped tables don't have those methods; why might that be?

>>> User
<class 'blah.models.User'>
>>> User.insert
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: type object 'User' has no attribute 'insert'
>>> User.update
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: type object 'User' has no attribute 'update'

Thanks,
Mike

Your User class is mapped to a Table. It's not the Table itself. To get the update method, you need to access User.__table__.update
