Is id_map still necessary to preserver references when using import_form_csv_file function?
I read this in the docs ( http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#CSV--all-tables-at-once- ): "When importing, the new records will be appended to the database if it is not empty. In general the new imported records will not have the same record id as the original (saved) records but web2py will restore references so they are not broken, even if the id values may change." This does not have any explicit mention of using the id_map parameter, so is it still necessary to preserve the references between tables?
