Here is the solution: https://github.com/rochacbruno/web2py_model_less_app/blob/master/modules/myapp.py#L82
That approach subclasses DAL so it need to include _lazy_tables = {} But, now that we have lazy_tables in default DAL, I recommend you to use the default web2py scheme with lazy_tables=True, and you will not have the ols problem of lot of tables defined. BTW: I am still using the modelless class based scheme and it is working good. *Bruno Cezar Rocha** - @rochacbruno* rochacbr...@gmail.com | Mobile: +55 (11) 99210-8821 www.CursoDePython.com.br | www.rochacbruno.com.br Blog: Using Python to get all the external links from a webpage<http://rochacbruno.com.br/using-python-to-get-all-the-external-links-from-a-webpage/> Get a signature like this. <http://r1.wisestamp.com/r/landing?promo=18&dest=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wisestamp.com%2Femail-install%3Futm_source%3Dextension%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_campaign%3Dpromo_18> Click here.<http://r1.wisestamp.com/r/landing?promo=18&dest=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wisestamp.com%2Femail-install%3Futm_source%3Dextension%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_campaign%3Dpromo_18> On Sun, Sep 9, 2012 at 3:22 PM, Don_X <don.clerm...@gmail.com> wrote: > Considering that I have many tables in my model files on the main app I am > building & > > Wanting to take the modelless approach ( slice submitted by BrunoRocha ) > > in order to avoid possible future bottleneck and/or latency > > I wanted to advise that the modelless app no longer works under web2py > 2.0.x > > When I downloaded and installed the running test app to check it out with > any 2.0.x > > I get the following error ticket msg : > > <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'> 'DataBase' object has no attribute > '_lazy_tables' > > > Can anyone help me with this ??? ... so I can make it right ... before I > incorporate this approach in my app dev habit .. > > is there a patch for it ??? ... > > thank you > > Don > > > > -- > > > > --
