I'm not sure I understand the question. The two 2 readings that I think you might mean are: 1) "My application doesn't have a database but does use a class design; how do I do this in Web2Py?" I don't know the answer, but I think the book covers part of it. You might begin by reading here: <URL:http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#Model-less-applications> No-DB operation is also a topic that shows up in the list from time to time. (As does the the model-less topic.) I wouldn't go back farther in the archives than 2012, because further back the techniques were less well-developed and not as well supported. 2) "My application already has a database; how do I work with that in Web2Py?" This gets into the question of importing models and migrations, both of which have been covered recently in the list. I would start out with reading <URL:http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#Legacy-databases-and-keyed-tables> to look at what is expected of the database. There are some tools for helping to import models, but they aren't completely reliable according to the recent discussions, so you should expect that some manual adjustment will be needed. Once you have the models, then a one-time migration should give you the table files Web2Py uses to understand your schema, and should then be in a normal maintenance mode. If I completely misunderstood your question, I offer my apologies. Also, I'm pretty much a basic user, and my applications just use simple databases on top of the SQLite shipped with Web2Py, but there are many experienced users who can give more detail as your questions get more specific. Good luck!
