Hi there,

I am trying to access a mysql database table with a very large amount of 
data. 

dbsql =  DAL('mysql://myusername:mypasswrd@host/dbname', migrate=False)

dbsql.define_table('evth',
    Field('datetime', 'integer'),
    Field('eventid','text'),
    Field('stream','integer'),
    Field('application','text'),
    Field('workstation','text'),
    Field('severity','text'),
    Field('type','text'),
    Field('message','text'),
    primarykey=['datetime'])

In theory this should work. However when I run the database administration 
button to create the models it seems to hang. I suspect because of the 
amount of data. Since I am only interested in the most recent data is there 
anyway of doing this without web2py having to model the entire table? 

any help would be much appreciated.

many thanks and regards,

John
