apologies for this question - I see it's been popular over the years - but I can't find the definitive answer.
How can I either: a) handle the case of have no references to insert? or b) avoid the duplication of two db inserts that are identical except one is missing a field that can't be set to None.? Note: I am not building a HTML ui from the database definition but inserting data via code. in my db.py: db.define_table('item', ..., Field('geoPts', 'list:reference geoPt'), ...) in a module: pts = # set to a list of zero or more db id values if pts: db.item.insert( ... geoPts=pts, ....) else: db.item.insert( ... # note that we don't try and set geoPts to None ....) -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
