Hi, I'd like to modify the data on a record before it is inserted / 
updated. I was hoping I could do this with _before_insert / update but I 
don't think it's possible.

As an example from a previous life, in Salesforce on a before trigger you 
can change field values in memory on the way into the database and they 
will automatically get written on completion.

Am I right in thinking with web2py it's just a set of data in its own world 
that you can do something with? I would need to perform an update on the 
record after it's been inserted which seems like a waste, especially when 
dealing with large data sets.

Thanks
Ian
