I have two tables something like this:

db.define_table('item',
  Field('name'),
  Field('on_hand', integer),
)

db.define_table('item_batch',
  Field('item', 'reference db.item' ...),
  Field('batch_yield', integer),
)

Every time I insert a item_batch record, I increment the on_hand field of 
the item table by the quantity in tatch_yield.  Easy to do using SQLFORM.

But if I have to update the batch_yield I want to update the item.on_hand 
field as well.  I also use an onvalidation function to make sanity checks 
on the updated batch_yield entry, such as verifying that the new value does 
not make item.on_hand a negative number.

Using SQLFORM, when is the best time to update the item.on_hand field?  

I want to make sure all of the updates are in the same transaction, so that 
if one fails, they all get rolled back.  How can I do this?

Thanks,
Cliff Kachinske
