Before I insert a record, I need to check whether the record is already in
database. If true, then I need to know the id of the record.
Below is my implementation, I first does the query, and check whether
record exist or not
query = db(db.groups.name == 'some_name').select()
if query.records:
group_id = query[0].id
else:
group_id = db.groups.insert(.....)
I wonder is there any better way to do this task? may be use
update_or_insert ? does it return the id of updated or inserted record?
