QSqlRelationalTableModel
acts like QSqlTableModel
, but allows columns to be set as foreign keys into other database tables.
The screenshot on the left shows a plain QSqlTableModel
in a QTableView. Foreign keys (city
and country
) aren’t resolved to human-readable values. The screenshot on the right shows a QSqlRelationalTableModel
, with foreign keys resolved into human-readable text strings.
The following code snippet shows how the QSqlRelationalTableModel
was set up:
model.setTable("employee") model.setRelation(2, QSqlRelation("city", "id", "name")) model.setRelation(3, QSqlRelation("country", "id", "name"))
The setRelation()
function calls establish a relationship between two tables. The first call specifies that column 2 in table employee
is a foreign key that maps with field id
of table city
, and that the view should present the city
's name
field to the user. The second call does something similar with column 3.
If you use a read-write QSqlRelationalTableModel
, you probably want to use QSqlRelationalDelegate
on the view. Unlike the default delegate, QSqlRelationalDelegate
provides a combobox for fields that are foreign keys into other tables. To use the class, simply call QAbstractItemView::setItemDelegate() on the view with an instance of QSqlRelationalDelegate
:
std.unique_ptr<QTableView> view{QTableView()} view.setModel(model) view.setItemDelegate(QSqlRelationalDelegate(view.get()))
The relationaltablemodel example illustrates how to use QSqlRelationalTableModel
in conjunction with QSqlRelationalDelegate
to provide tables with foreign key support.
Notes:
The table must have a primary key declared.
The table’s primary key may not contain a relation to another table.
If a relational table contains keys that refer to non-existent rows in the referenced table, the rows containing the invalid keys will not be exposed through the model. The user or the database is responsible for keeping referential integrity.
If a relation’s display column name is also used as a column name in the relational table, or if it is used as display column name in more than one relation it will be aliased. The alias is the relation’s table name, display column name and a unique id joined by an underscore (e.g. tablename_columnname_id).
fieldName()
will return the aliased column name. All occurrences of the duplicate display column name are aliased when duplication is detected, but no aliasing is done to the column names in the main table. The aliasing doesn’t affectQSqlRelation
, sodisplayColumn()
will return the original display column name.The reference table name is aliased. The alias is the word “relTblAl” and the relationed column index joined by an underscore (e.g. relTblAl_2). The alias can be used to filter the table (For example, setFilter(“relTblAl_2=’Oslo’ OR relTblAl_3=’USA’”)).
When using
setData()
the role should always be Qt::EditRole, and when usingdata()
the role should always be Qt::DisplayRole.See also

Relational Table Model Example
- class PySide6.QtSql.QSqlRelationalTableModel([parent=None[, db=QSqlDatabase()]])#
- Parameters:
parent –
PySide6.QtCore.QObject
Creates an empty QSqlRelationalTableModel
and sets the parent to parent
and the database connection to db
. If db
is not valid, the default database connection will be used.
- PySide6.QtSql.QSqlRelationalTableModel.JoinMode#
Constant
Description
QSqlRelationalTableModel.InnerJoin
Inner join mode, return rows when there is at least one match in both tables.
QSqlRelationalTableModel.LeftJoin
Left join mode, returns all rows from the left table (table_name1), even if there are no matches in the right table (table_name2).
See also
- PySide6.QtSql.QSqlRelationalTableModel.relation(column)#
- Parameters:
column – int
- Return type:
Returns the relation for the column column
, or an invalid relation if no relation is set.
See also
- PySide6.QtSql.QSqlRelationalTableModel.relationModel(column)#
- Parameters:
column – int
- Return type:
Returns a QSqlTableModel
object for accessing the table for which column
is a foreign key, or None
if there is no relation for the given column
.
The returned object is owned by the QSqlRelationalTableModel
.

Sets the SQL joinMode
to show or hide rows with NULL foreign keys. In InnerJoin
mode (the default) these rows will not be shown: use the LeftJoin
mode if you want to show them.

- PySide6.QtSql.QSqlRelationalTableModel.setRelation(column, relation)#
- Parameters:
column – int
relation –
PySide6.QtSql.QSqlRelation

Lets the specified column
be a foreign index specified by relation
.
Example:
model.setTable("employee") model.setRelation(2, QSqlRelation("city", "id", "name"))
The setRelation() call specifies that column 2 in table employee
is a foreign key that maps with field id
of table city
, and that the view should present the city
's name
field to the user.
Note: The table’s primary key may not contain a relation to another table.
