Re: [web2py] Strategy for working with an existing database

As long as it has a primary key of id then you are good. The first thing you will need to do is fake_migrate=True so web2py will generate the .table files. So define you db.define_table statements exactly like your existing database. make sure to pass fake_migrate=True to these tables db.define

[web2py] Strategy for working with an existing database

2010-02-26 Thread BrendanC
I have an existing test db that I was using with Rails, so it conforms to the basic requirements re PK ID's etc. Can I use this in web2py without re coding the table defs etc. What is the best way to do this? I assume this comes up a lot, but I don't see this mentioned in the docs. TIA, Brendan
