Thanks Antony for your concise answer! I have tried it in the app code - it did not work, giving me no error. I have tried your code in the terminal and it looks the code does not create new table field. Any idea why it does not work? Maybe its my db settings? I use sqlite db. Your help would very helpful to me as all my app dependent on this function.
Here is my trial in a terminal: >>> from gluon import DAL, Field >>> db = DAL('sqlite://se2.sqlite',check_reserved=['postgres', 'postgres_nonreserved'],pool_size=10,lazy_tables=True, migrate=True, fake_migrate=False) >>> ta_args = dict(format='%(f1)s') >>> db.define_table('ta', Field('f1', 'string'), **ta_args) >>> db._tables ['ta'] >>> db.define_table('ta', db.ta,Field('newfield', 'string', default = 'abc'),redefine=True, **ta_args) >>> db.ta._fields ['id', 'f1'] On Thursday, February 6, 2014 4:41:29 PM UTC+3, Anthony wrote: > > The safest way is probably to redefine the whole table. > > *models/dp.py:* > > tA_args = dict(format='%(f1)s', ...) > db.define_table('tA', > Field('f1', 'string'), > **tA_args) > > *controllers/default.py:* > > db.define_table('tA', db.tA, > Field('newfield'), > redefine=True, **tA_args) > > Anthony > -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
