"""Update schemas treat an explicit null for a column that can't be empty as "unchanged".""" from typing import Any, ClassVar from pydantic import BaseModel, model_validator class IgnoresNullForRequiredColumns(BaseModel): """Base for update (PATCH/PUT) schemas that are applied to one ORM row. Their fields are mostly ``X | None = None`` so a request can leave them out, and the API's contract is that null means "unchanged": most routes apply a field only when it is not None, and the OpenAPI schema allows null. Routes that apply what was sent with ``model_dump(exclude_unset=True)`` instead wrote the null into a NOT NULL column and failed with a 500. This drops such a null before validation, so the field counts as not sent on every route; a null for a column that may be empty still clears it. ``__orm_table__`` names the table the schema writes to. It is looked up when a request is validated, so schemas don't import the models.
