hi Massimo, I don't think those examples will work as expected.
This updates the state of auth but not the database: auth.user.update(field=value) And this updates the database but not the state of auth: db(db.auth_user.id == auth.user.id).update(field=value) Is there a single operation to do both? Also why isn't auth updated with auth.user.update_record() ?
