Sure. The following example field are not supported by web2py:
Field('myBlobs', 'list:blob'),
Field('myDates', 'list:date')
A workaround is to do the following:
db.define_table('blobTable', Field('myBlob', 'blob'))
db.define_table('myTable, Field('myBlobs', 'list:reference
blobTable'))
It would be great to support list of any type directly as in first two
examples. GAE supports this with its ListProperty(item_type). You can
make it work with other database systems by using text field,
serializing each element of the list into a string and separating with
pipe character. That is what web2py does for list of integers and list
of references.
Thanks.
