is it possible during runtime to create new table definitions and have
them executed? so instead of putting my models in db.py, I could
pull the meta-data from a database and build the model on the fly when
the app starts up? (if it is on SQL, it will do the usual maintenance
stuff... if it is on GAE it doesn't do anything)
I'd like to let users create their own "types"... on GAE this is easy
as there is no hard "schema" to follow... but I want the app to work
both on GAE and SQL (which is why I'm using Web2py)... so wondering
how that would work if I tried to define a table on the fly:
i.e.
default.py
def index():
fields = get_fields(); #returns a list of Field() objects
tbl = db.define_table(mytable,fields)
Thank you,
