Thanks Anthony,
I'm trying to create a user named table, using company_accounts_db as
a variable.
Prior to the select I defined and created a user named table by using
the variable company_accounts_db. User_id 8 enters a company name
within a form. The form input is used to define the variable db name
by: company_accounts_db = company_name + '_accounts_' +
str(auth.user_id)
In this case, user_8 inputs for company name, BIGkittyBIG.(sorry for
the goofy name but its easy to spot in the directory) Then the table
is created with:
db.define_table( company_accounts_db,
Field('name'),
Field('owner'),
Field('plan'),
Field('actual'),
Field('status'))
after this, ..hashcode..._BIGkittyBIG_accounts_8.table is in the
application/database folder. This table seems to update ok. After
creating the table ..._BIGkittyBIG_accounts_8.table, I insert about 20
records. This appears to work just as expected. I open storage.sqlite
with notepadd++ and I see what looks like all the added records.
Access to the ...accounts_8.table is not available through the admin
interface.
any other thoughts? James C.
