You can simplify maintenance somewhat on Linux or Mac by soft linking model
files.
First off, figure out which application is going to own the shared tables.
Put the shared tables in one model file in that applications models
directory.
At the top of the model file do something like this:
mymigrate = False
if request.application=='app_that_owns_the_table':
mymigrate = True
Then in each table you can do:
db.define_table(
...
migrate=mymigrate
)
You also could do something similar for Anthony's suggestion, quoted here:
db = DAL(..., migrate_enabled=False)
