The insert function in web2py expects db.tablename.insert(...) with column
name and value pairs. What if the table has lengthy field names and i wish
to insert in the table by iterating through all the fields.
I tried:
for field in db[db.MyTable]:
nme='\''+field.name+'\''
db.Account_Master.insert(nme='somevalue')
It is giving me error as:
<type 'exceptions.SyntaxError'> Field nme does not belong to the table
When i try field.name instead of nme, editor does not let me save and gives
error as:
keyword can't be an expression
