from app import db_con
from sqlalchemy import ForeignKey
from sqlalchemy.dialects import mssql

class Parent(db_con.Model):
    __tablename__ = "parent"
    ID = db_con.Column(
        "id", mssql.INTEGER, nullable=False, primary_key=True
    )
    COST = db_con.Column("cost", mssql.DECIMAL)
    CATEGORY_ID = db_con.Column("category_id", mssql.INTEGER, ForeignKey("child.category_id"))
    CATEGORY = db_con.relationship("Child", foreign_keys=[ID], uselist=False)


class Child(db_con.Model):
    __tablename__ = "child"
    CATEGORY_ID = db_con.Column("category_id", mssql.INTEGER, nullable=False, primary_key=True)
    NAME = db_con.Column("name", mssql.NVARCHAR(None))

from sqlalchemy.sql import text

DB_engine = create_engine("mssql://user_name:password@host_name/database_name")

query = text(
         f""" CREATE TABLE DE_STAGING.RESULT_TABLE AS

with engine.connect() as conn:

    result = conn. execute(query)```
