It took me a minute to decipher this post! For the elucidation of others
let me rephrase what I think you wrote...
Some users may not like STORING (not "strong") data in the filesystem.
Storing filesystem data is a bad idea when deploying the same website
across multiple servers, i.e. it hinders "scalability" in web deployment.
You can now store the table definitions (currently in the "databases"
directory of your web2py application) into the database itself. This eases
the problem of scaling the application at the cost of a little complexity.
First off, store "session" data on the user's web client by putting
session data directly in the cookie. Then configure DAL to store the
"metadata" (i.e. "*.table" files) in the database itself, as shown below...
If I got it wrong, please let me know.
