I've been looking into creating a table reference (or foreign key) in
web2py and have only found db.Field('name', db.otherTable). Now as I
understand it, this creates an integer field in the table that
contains the "hidden" web2py integer id of the entry in the other
table. Is this the case?
If so, is there any way to reference on a different unique field? For
the sake of example, consider this table definition:
db.definetable('student',
db.Field('student_id', 'integer'),
db.Field('first_name', 'string'),
db.Field('last_name', 'string))
db.definetable('tasks',
db.Field('student_id', db.student),
db.Field('task', 'string'))
Is there any way for student_id in the tasks table to contain the
actual student_id, and not the web2py id? I haven't been able to find
many details on the subject.
Also sorry if I do not respond quickly, I'm traveling currently and
never really know when I'll have wifi again. Thanks
