You have different ways:
if request.function!='maintenance':
try:
db = DAL('sqlite://storage.sqlite')
except:
redirect(URL('default', 'maintenance'))
else: db = None
But then you need to check (if db) every time you use db in models.
You can use conditional models:
- Move all your models under a models/default/ subfolder so they only run
when the default.py controller is executed.
- Put the maintenance action in a different controller
Make another app that only reports maintenance issues and redirect to an
action in the other app.
