Flask Sqlalchemy : relationships between different modules

Question

I\'m following the Flask-SQLAlchemy tutorial. I have Flask 0.9, sqlalchemy 0.7.8 and flask-sqlalchemy 0.16 on python 2.6.

I\'m trying to create a \"one to many\" rel

You need to have only one set of the below, and not a separate copy for each model:

app = Flask(my_app_name)
app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'sqlite:///C:\\MyBase\\Base.sqlite'
db = SQLAlchemy(app)

This can be defined in a separate module (lets call it shared), and imported into each model definition file.
In this case the main module will look more like:

from DataBase.Tables.shared import db

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import DataBase.Tables.Person   # will load Person model into the db
    import DataBase.Tables.Address  # will load Address model into the db
    db.create_all() # will create all models
