I'm writing a plugin that needs to work with any arbitrary db table. The
table name is passed to my controller, and that string (the variable
'tablename') is used in building a query. I can't just do db.tablename, so
instead I'm doing db[tablename] and it generally seems to work. But when I
do db(db[tablename]).select() I don't seem to get a regular row object. In
particular, recursive selects don't work. So for any linked fields I'm just
getting the id number of the linked record. The following just throws a key
error:
for r in rows:
linked-field-value = r.linkedtable.linkedfield #as per
http://www.web2py.com/book/default/chapter/06#Recursive-selects
Any suggestions?
