in addition (or just using different words of what Anthony said) ONLY when you are in the web2py env in an HTTP request, web2py automatically commits at the end of a successul request and rolls back if some exceptions are raised, to ensure that EVERY operation you did for a request gets treated atomically. If you are in the realm of scheduled task, or in a function or a module executed in the web2py shell, or in a module that just uses pydal as a package, you need to explicitely call commit() or rollback().
Think of the web2py HTTP request environment doing basically a big try: all your code commit() except: rollback() -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
