 .. note::
     The examples here require SQLAlchemy 2 to be installed. The factory itself supports both 1.4 and 2.

 Configuration
-------------------------------
+-------------
+
+SQLAlchemyFactory allows to override some configuration attributes so that a described factory can use a behavior from SQLAlchemy ORM such as `relationship() <https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/20/orm/relationship_api.html#sqlalchemy.orm.relationship>`_ or `Association Proxy <https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/20/orm/extensions/associationproxy.html#module-sqlalchemy.ext.associationproxy>`_.
+
+Relationship
+++++++++++++
 
-By default, relationships will not be set. This can be overridden via ``__set_relationships__``.
+By default, ``__set_relationships__`` is set to ``False``. If it is ``True``, all fields with the SQLAlchemy `relationship() <relationship()_>`_ will be included in the result created by ``build`` method.
 
 .. literalinclude:: /examples/library_factories/sqlalchemy_factory/test_example_2.py
     :caption: Setting relationships
     :language: python
 
 .. note::
-    In general, foreign keys are not automatically generated by ``.build``. This can be resolved by setting the fields yourself and/or using ``create_sync``/ ``create_async`` so models can be added to a SQLA session so these are set.
+    If ``__set_relationships__ = True``, ForeignKey fields associated with relationship() will be automatically generated by ``build`` method because :class:`__set_foreign_keys__ <polyfactory.factories.sqlalchemy_factory.SQLAlchemyFactory.__set_foreign_keys__>` is set to ``True`` by default. But their values will be overwritten by using ``create_sync``/ ``create_async`` methods, so SQLAlchemy ORM creates them.
+
+Association Proxy
++++++++++++++++++
+
+By default, ``__set_association_proxy__`` is set to ``False``. If it is ``True``, all SQLAlchemy fields mapped to ORM `Association Proxy <Association Proxy_>`_ class will be included in the result created by ``build`` method.
+
+.. literalinclude:: /examples/library_factories/sqlalchemy_factory/test_example_association_proxy.py
+    :caption: Setting association_proxy
+    :language: python
+
+.. note::
+    If ``__set_relationships__ = True``, the Polyfactory will create both fields from a particular SQLAlchemy model (association_proxy and its relationship), but eventually a relationship field will be overwritten by using ``create_sync``/ ``create_async`` methods via SQLAlchemy ORM with a proper instance from an Association Proxy relation.
