you would have to add a new constraint at the database level like this: query="ALTER TABLE %s ADD CONSTRAINT %s UNIQUE (amcno,unitid);" %(tablename,constraintname) result=db.executesql(query)
here a postgresql example to set the new constraint in a controller: def setconstraint(): tablename='public.tablename' constname='constraintname' try: query="ALTER TABLE %s ADD CONSTRAINT %s UNIQUE (amcno,unitid);" %(tablename,constname) result=db.executesql(query) except: result="ERROR : constraint already exists" finally: return locals() -- 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.
