I have one application (called base) in which I define all the tables
for three other applications. In the three applications I use the same
db.py file. In these db.py files I set migrate=False on all tables.

One of these applications is a CMS, in which I enabled Authorization
and Authentication. This creates the .table files for auth_event,
auth- group, auth_membership, auth_permission and auth_user in the
databases folder of the cms application, all the .table files for the
other tables are in the databases folder of the base application.

When I extend the model in the base application's db.py file, i.e.
define new tables, and set migrate=False on these tables and copy and
paste them into the db.py file of the CMS application, after saving
the db.py file, I keep getting the following error when I go to the
database administration:

ProgrammingError: relation "auth_user" already exists

Am I right to conclude that I cannot make changes to the db.py file in
which Authorization and Authentication are enabled? i.e. I can only
save the db.py file once?

Did anyone face the same problem? How did you solve it? Is there a
best practice to dealing with db.py when it comes to defining and
altering tables and using web2py's authentication and authorization
features?


Kind regards,

Annet.
