i *think* that it will work with you existing schema. I have postgres
setup with 2 databases ( i think that is the right term - i pass the -
d option to the psql command), and web2py works fine with
them. I do all my database migrations manually as well since there
are certain upgrades web2py a
That way, the DAL or web2py (I don't know the exact wording to use) will be
able to put data in my table that allready exist in the postgresql schema
where they are?
An other problem that I am facing is that I use numeric(length, nb decimal)
type of postgresql that type not seems to be supported i
Johny,
Perhaps i mis-understandbut you have all your tables already
created in postgres right? if so, then you can just define your model
in web2py using the DAL, but set migrate=false for each table. Then
you define the tables yourself (and have complete control over that
part), but the DAL
you can install sqlalchemy and use it with web2py. and i recommend
using declarative bases:
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/ormtutorial.html#creating-table-class-and-mapper-all-at-once-declaratively
but remember, if you use sqlalchemy you won't be able to use the built-
in auth and crud systems.
