Hello, I would like to know if there is a way in web2py to have "virtual table" (mean subset of columns from a existing table) access controlled with the web2py built-in RBAC ??
I mean I have to denormalize to improve speed of an app that use to have many table that are all using the same pattern. It makes sens to denormalize since all data contains in these similar tables are requested all the time with joins. Also, it would make it much easier to refactor since I will not have to make the same change over 30 similar tables each time I have general modifications (I know about web2py inheritrance, but I use to sync web2py model and db model by hand, so I have to generate sql DDL)... May be I can just define a subset of model on the fly in controller ?? Is there anybody else having the same needs? If so, is there any plan about virtual table in web2py? Thanks Richard
