yes you can migrate an entire database from the shell with one
command:
1) have a model that connects to the sqliite db
2) python web2py -S yourapp -M
3) in the shell type
db.export_to_csv_file(open('somefile.csv','wb'))
4) quit, edit the model to connect to the other db instead
5) python web2py -S yourapp -M
6) in the shell type
db.import_from_csv_file(open('somefile.csv','rb'))
7) done. Id's we'll be different but references will be preserved and
not be broken.
