When I evaluate a database framework, the first thing I look at is the field types. Right now I see web2py supports these types:
•db.Field(name, 'string') •db.Field(name, 'text') •db.Field(name, 'password') •db.Field(name, 'blob') •db.Field(name, 'upload') •db.Field(name, 'boolean') •db.Field(name, 'integer') •db.Field(name, 'double') •db.Field(name, 'time') •db.Field(name, 'date') •db.Field(name, 'datetime') •db.Field(name, db.referenced_table) # reference field My vote would go to extending the web2py types to include some non- relational types and the first one would be that GAE ListProperty type.,.. Perhaps there needs to be some type of type-extension feature. NET has it. So then the developers can develop and plugin their own types. And there can be a pass-thru or 'raw' query mode which will pass a native query down to the actual database handle. We can't stop progress...
