I'd like to add a more general request to this. It'd would be nice if web2py has a slick mechanism to migrate/copy database tables. For example
db_copy(db_1.table1, db_2.table1) this will copy the entire table1 of db_1 into the same table of db_2. I often worked locally using sqlite (as it's self contained) and deployed using postgres/mysql. I'd like to be able to copy information from production back to development like this. Web2py has a convenient way to pack and unpack applications. But for database, it'd be nice to have some support like this.
