I'm using update_or_insert <URL:http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#update_or_insert> for a table that's keeping track of a certain type of request. I'd like to keep track of how many times a particular row has been updated, and I'm wondering if I can do that with update_or_insert().
Sub-question 1: if a row has fields that aren't in the argument list to update_or_insert() left with their current values? Sub-question 2: If a row exists, can you reference it's current value in an expression for one the arguments? If there's nothing in update_or_insert(), can I use a hook, er, callback to do the counting? Does update_or_insert() use before/after_insert() when it does an insert instead of an update, or does it always use before/after_update() ? /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
