I am trying to access persistent data saved in an sqlite.db file without wiping it out. I start an interactive session with just python and no web2py and enter the following:
>>> from pydal import DAL, Field >>> db = DAL('sqlite://storage.sqlite', folder='home/cryptoj/venv', auto_import=True) >>> db.define_table('persons', Field('name')) Now I can create and save table data - after db.commit() the table is saved and I can read the table with DB Browser for SQLite. I can enter additional data from DB Browser and it too can be read in the interactive python session. I close the terminal. I close DB Browser. Then I open DB Browser and the data is all there. Yet, when I go through the above commands, in a new session, it appears the db.define_table is dropping the existing data stored in storage.sqlite. On the 2nd pass, if I don't define_table again there are errors and the existing data can not be read in the interactive session. Thank you in advance for any recommendations, James. -- 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.
