I just got bit by the reserved-word problem: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py/aSPtD_mGXdM/c7et_2l_54wJ
I am trying to port a postgres database to a friend's mysql database, but we are stuck because the DAL does not quote identifiers. This problem has been discussed a fair amount: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py/QKktETHk3yo/Mwm3D-JhNmAJ ...and it seems all we need to do is add some quoting mechanisms to the DAL. In postgresql you surround names with "quotes" and in mysql you use `backticks`. Does anyone have ideas for what to do?
