I want a method to update the database record behind a model, and I thought 
something like this might work.

class MyModel:
    def db_update(self, field_name, value):
        
self.db(self.db.t_empire.id==self.record.id).update(field_name=value)

Apparently not. The field_name cannot be a string. I do not know Python, so 
I am wondering what it is. A keyword? Anyway, how do I update the database 
record, given a field name that is a string?
