I want to insert a dictionary into a table and work the resulting id.
The following illustrates my problem:
db.define_table('xx',
Field('a'),
Field('b'))
x = {}
x['a'] = 'abcd'
x['b'] = 'dbcs'
db.xx[0] = x # Success but how do I get the id?
This should be equivalent to db.xx.insert(x) as I understand the book but
recnr = db.xx.insert(x)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
/home/js/web2py/<ipython console> in <module>()
TypeError: insert() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)
So how do I insert a dictionary without having to type out all the fields
individually like this;
auid = db.isi_authors.insert (name = name,
surname = surname,
firstname = firstname,
address = address)
Regards
Johann
