Hello, I would like to have more detail about this note (in bold red in quote below) :
"SQLTABLE converts the rows into an HTML table with a header containing the column names and one row per record. The rows are marked as alternating class "even" and class "odd". Under the hood, Rows is first converted into a SQLTABLE object (not to be confused with Table) and then serialized. The values extracted from the database are also formatted by the validators associated to the field and then escaped. (*Note: Using a db in this way in a view is usually not considered good MVC practice.*)" http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/6#Serializing-Rows-in-views Thanks Richard
