I am guessing, I have not tried it

mfrom = db.messages.with_alias('mfrom')
mto = db.messages.with_alias('mfrom')

db(db.auth_user).select(db.auth.user.first_name,
db.auth_user.last_name,
      mfrom.id.count(), mto.id.count(),

left=[mfrom.on(mfrom.from==db.auth_user.id),mto.on(mto.to==db.auth_user.id)],
      groupby = db.auth_user.id)

I am trying to display chat message information;

I have 2 tables

The first table is the auth table define in web2py

The second is this

db.define_table('messages',
      Field('from',db.auth_user),
      Field('to',db.auth_user),
      Field('msg','string'),
      Field('ts','datetime',default=request.now)
)

What I want to do do now is create a report on how many messages where
sent and received by each user;

I want the output to look like this

user, messages sent, messages received
Joe User,15,20
User 2,20,15

I am trying to figure it out using DAL and grouping but this is way over
my head;

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

David.
