It may not be clear what these say:
shape_id is a foreign key, and it references the table db.shape, that is
it holds a reference to db.shape.id
Another way to write references (useful when you have forward references, or
a self-reference) is:
SQLField('shape_id', 'reference shape')
A self reference might look like:
db.define_table('mine',
SQLField('name'),
SQLField('related_mine_id', 'reference mine'))
