I am testing it with a test code which is exactly what I wrote so there is 
only one table with my field. 
I think it makes sense, that's why there is scheduler and cron developed 
for web2py. I'm trying to understand if I should run model1.py (where the 
module1 is imported) as a web2py cron or scheduled task.
