Hi , I really like web2py as a framework as I can quickly come up with something working(controller and views are so easy to write). But as i am not a seasoned developper i feel weak when it comes to design the database. DAL is great but unfortunatley it can define the schema for me ( yet :) ) I would like to know if someone would suggest me a sound design for the db so that my users can exchange messages that can be organised in threads like Gmail .
Any help or pointer to some appliance that would help me starting the db will be appreciated Thx Manu
