I am not sure I understand the following paragraph in the book: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#on_define
I have lazy_table = true and a Field('vertex_id', 'reference vertex', requires=IS_IN_DB(db, 'vtx_vertex.id', '%(id)s')) In the book it says: The simple requires values could be added to the Field definitions and the table would still be lazy. However, requires which take a Set object as the first argument, such as IS_IN_DB, will make a query like db.sometable.somefield == some_value which would cause sometable to be defined early. This is the situation saved by on_define. Does this mean that I should put IS_IN_DB() in the on_define keyword argument? on_define = lambda table: [table.vertex_id.set_attributes(requires=IS_IN_DB(db, 'vtx_vertex.id', '%(id)s')] Kind regards, Annet -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
