[web2py] standalone DAL: why is migration table name preceeded by some prefix ?

2010-10-31 Thread Stef Mientki 
hello,

I use the following statement to create a standalone DAT table

DB.define_table ( Name, *Fields, migrate = 'Afdeling.table' )

Why is the name of the migration table prefixed ?

thanks,

That is a hash of the connection string you pass in during DAL
instantiation. This way you can uniquely identify

db = DAL('sqlite://my.db')

vs

db = DAL('postgres://.')

without overwriting your .table files.
