Is the session object defined when db.py is run? Could it be used to send info for relevant-table declaration in order to prune down the number of db.define_table statements? Does anyone have a feel for what the overhead is of defining/declaring a bunch of tables (in db.py) (which will never be used) - ie. is this expensive? I suppose this greatly depends on the db used. For SQLite, are the db.define_table() calls expensive? My (typical/ordinary) CRUD program is segmented into a number of "documents" (or multitable forms). However each will only touch a few of the many tables. Would this make a case for db table-declaration segmentation? BTW kudos to everyone involved in making web2py. For me, it has made it _possible_ to get an app up and running quickly. I originally tried to wade my way through learning Zope but it just made my head hurt. I briefly looked at Django but after Zope I didn't think it differed enough. I stumbled upon web2py almost by accident while surf... researching and your feature list hooked me. I was able to convince others (who are not technical minded at all) to choose this because the benefits were so many and so understandable.
