Sorry, I don't understand this line. although I belive storing records without id assignment would be > restrictive for apps
Do you mean web2py apps or GAE apps? What did you mean by "restrictive" (and I doubt it will be actually compatible at all Compatible with what? Sure, when you would insert using a key_name, and without an numeric id, the will be web2py API functionalities that wont work anymore. (the ones that expect a numeric id returned) But you would know that you don't need those functionalities if you would decide to use a key_name.
