You could do something like this: DEVMODE = request.is_local db = DAL(..., migrate_enabled=DEVMODE)
When the migrate_enabled argument to DAL() is set to False, all migrations are disabled (regardless of the 'migrate' setting for each individual define_table() call). You can either change it manually on production, or use some test to determine whether the app is running in the production environment (the above example turns migrations on only when the request is from the local machine).
