Ive spent 6 hours wondering why i couldnt update or insert a record with the interactive console.
After changing mysql user passwords, drop tables, remigrate everything, mounting a fresh new web2py installation, tried to disable caching, i wasnt able to update or insert a record even tho the docs says you have to type row.update_record() after a single change, or db.mytable.insert(field1=...) its not until i read the commit section when i realised my mistake. "In the interactive console you have to use db.commit()!", not the models, not the controllers, not the views. The point is that i was trying to update or insert (with the console), while in the docs didnt mention anything about this case, in the update, insert sections. There are many other similar things like this that has happened to me, and probably to many people. Most of them has been solved in this forum by the developers but improving the docs may help many of us without having to bother you guys that much. I know documenting is not nearly as fun as developing but i would love to contribute to it as im learning and facing all these troubles. So yes, the question is. How can we help to improve the docs? Would it be room for a wiki or is too much trouble?
