Sqlalchemy session.refresh does not refresh object

Question

I have the following mapping (straight from SA examples):

class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = \'users\'

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    name =          


        

Answer 1

Did you try with "expire" as described in the official doc:

http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_8/orm/session.html#refreshing-expiring

# expire objects obj1, obj2, attributes will be reloaded
# on the next access:
session.expire(user_1)
session.refresh(user_1)

Using expire on a object results in a reload that will occur upon next access.
