I ran into the same problem. I had a mock application in which I created the model. Later I uninstalled the mock application and created a new application in which I use the same model. The problem is that when I want to alter something (let's say the length of a field from 20 to 30) in the model in the newly created application I get the following error:
ProgrammingError: relation "text" already exists. In Massimo's reply I read: "Hence it can do migrations if and only if web2py created the tables in the first place... You cannot do a migration on a table that was pre- existing (migrate=False)" Does this imply that I have to get my model correct, right from the start, because I cannot alter it at a later stage, that would be very awkward. Would not having set migrate=False on the tables have prevented me from this problem. Is there a way to reverse this action. I mean dropping a database with all its data, creating a new one, migrating the model and inserting the data again. Is a rather time consuming way to alter a table definition. I hope there is another solution to this problem.
