I'm writing a script that runs in the web2py environment and accesses my
database through the DAL. Because my script is multithreaded and the DB
logic is not easily isolated to a single thread, I need multiple
connections to the DB, which means multiple DAL instances. I see I can do
this:

I'd like to cast my vote against implementing something as core as Storage
in C, as that hinders web2py's support for PyPy and other alternate
runtimes that don't play nice with C modules.

Are there any restrictions on what operations can/cannot be performed with
MongoDB through the DAL? E.g., I don't think MongoDB has a native JOIN
equivalent- does web2py emulate one?

Well done, sir! I think this is an excellent way to solve the problem.
