I routinely run into migration problems. I suspect this happens when I
change a column's datatype, or when I remove a table from db.py and
then later make a new table with the same name as the old one.

In these situations, the migrations get messed up and I get
stacktraces in sql.py with errors like:

  ProgrammingError: column "study__tmp" is of type integer but
expression is of type text
  LINE 1: UPDATE actions SET study__tmp=study;
                             ^
  HINT:  You will need to rewrite or cast the expression.

How can I migrate in these situations?

As an aside, I love the automatic migrations when they work, but I
don't mind writing sql to fix the underlying database when they don't.
Could web2py just tell me what schema it expects, let me fix the
database, and then let me say "OK web2py, the database is ready to go!"
