OK all I feel quite stupid I think I need the ABC of running this I have placed the file in a location where I know where it is and it can be seen in the web2py list I have tried putting the call into shell and into a web2py app I have used IDLE (python) and have tried shell on web2py I believe mysqldb is meant to come with web2py so I dont believe I need that ?
what do I actually type and where to call this and get it to output Newbie needs hand held - apologies thank you in advance Oh and read chap on DAL - good stuff bought the book. I just think I have a fundamental misunderstanding of what to put where and i will think it was easy when I get it .... thank you all in advance and for patience On Mar 22, 12:20 pm, selecta <[email protected]> wrote: > > just trying to get to a point where i can do the db structure scrape to > > create the web2py db code as i interpret that is what your code does > > yes the script uses the mysql and mysqldump excecutables to dump the > table structures and parses that with regular expressions > > Nice work Kevin, I have had only created and used for it once to > migrate our legacy db to pyMantis but I am planning to add this as a > feature the pyMantis so this comes in very handy :D
