Let us say I have the below code in db.py under models define_table(db, ....)
If I change that to, if settings.migrate: define_table(db,...) rest of the queries based on this table doesn't work. I want to skip the definition altogether if the table is already present. Reason: I assume that GAE makes a datastore call for each of these define_table. So every page request initiates these define_table adding to the cost of datastore read limits posed in GAE. Is this how it happens? Can I skip definition of tables altogether? (I believe django doesn't invoke definition of tables for every request) Objective is to optimize application on GAE. Thank you, Joseph
