First both fake_migrate and fake_migrate_all are part of the DAL signature in the book, However fake_migrate is only explained when it is used in a table definition, not in DAL.
Second issue that might be related: I try to move web2py application to another server, including a pg database in the following order: 1. took a backup of the database on the old server 2. restored the database on the new server 3. Copy the web2py application to the new server include the databases files 4. my first attempt to run the app resulted in error: relation "auth_user" already exists 6. I verified that a file 63e111e1d2096351b383c8ebce6b217f_auth_user.table EXIST so why the error? 7. Deleted the auth_user table from the database and file 63e111e1d2096351b383c8ebce6b217f_auth_user.table 8. a new table was created and a new auth_user.table file but with another hex prefix: c8b669d15150d7109e5f7ab36744a5b7_auth_user.table 9. But now I got the same error on auth_group. 10.I solved it by just changing all the files with the old hex prefix to the new prefix and everything was working. There are only hex prefix to the auth tables because I Can't/didn't set the migrate table settings I also attempted to use the fake_migrate_all=True ,migrate=False but none of the auth files was created. Only my own tables files 1. deleted all the databases folder files and set DAL's fake_migrate_all=True ,migrate=False 2. Only my tables files (in databases folder), and scheduler files (with the new hex prefix) was created. Why not all tables files was created on fake migration? Why the auth tables migration file names need a hex prefix and why it is different for each web2py installation ? If the hex prefix can be changed and everything is working ? why need it in the first place ? Shouldn't a complete copy of application and database just work out of the box ?
