No. This controller will work for every table in the database. In fact, as you do below, you specify the table in the URL > 1)http://hostname/myapp/default/data/update/person/2 You create a CRUD action per table def mycreate(): return dict(form=crud.create(db.mytable)) or an update action def myupdate(): id=request.args[0] return dict(form=crud.update(db.mytable,id)) > or create a controller like: > > 2) def update1(): > redirect(URL(r=request,f='data/update/person/2')) Do do not do actions that just redirect. > In either case, what should the view be named? the view is the controller/action.html > Since one might want > to have a different view for read,update,delete,etc., it seems that it > should be: > > default/data/update.html, but my testing seems to work at default/ > data.html. you can do def data(): response.view="%s/%s/%s.html" % (request.controller, request.function, request.args[0]) return dict(form=crud()) > That seems to imply that using method #2 above with a response.view() > would be the better solution.
