Is the table name case sensitive?
Yes, you have to define_table before web2py can use it. When accessing an existing table, i.e., a table not created by web2py in the current application, always set migrate=False. I don't know if table names are case sensitive in Oracle. Denes -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
