Hi there,
There must be a simple way to do this, but I can't seem to figure it
out. I would like a field (name) to populate itself automatically when
a database record is created.
# test table
db.define_table("animal",
SQLField("name","string",length=20,notnull=True,default="ANML-" +
str(db.animal.id) ), # this fails
SQLField("sex", db.sex)
)
after a create action, I would like the following result:
animal.id = 1
animal.name = ANML-1
....
Is this possible? Thanks for your help!
-Sebastian
PS: would be nice to have 'ANML-000001' with zeros padded according to
id number (eg. ANML-000299)
