Thadeus,
i'm not mixing frameworks right now - web2py has been my exclusive
home for over a year now. :) It also looks like there is some sort of
substring tools with some (all?) of the relational db's
http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/eb8ce28b34fd0aa0/48bf0788ba899158?lnk=gst&q=substring#48bf0788ba899158
but i'm not using one of them today to test it out. it's not in GAE.
thanks for the tips guys! i'm just going to bite the bullet and make
the database upgrade that is the correct answer anyway. fun with
updating code and testing!
