I have data in an old cobol legacy system using ISAM files two of the files are customer and sales_history. There is a relationship between these two files based on customer_id which is auto incremented in the legacy system by add 1 to the last customer_id used. I already have a python program that converts this data into both a MySql database and a Sqlite database retaining the customer_id. My question is if I where to create an empty database using web2py changing the customer_id field name to ID and then change my python conversion files to connect the this database and import the data including customer_id to ID into the web2py defined empty databases would I encounter any problems using web2py with the data. The web2py application would not do any maintenance of the customer or history data but would only be used for queries and reporting. This way I could maintain my referential integrate both within the web2py system and back into the old legacy system.
Or am I missing something? --
