Can you help testing polymodel? In trunk:
db=DAL('gae')
db.define_table('contact',Field('address'), polymodel=True)
db.define_table('person',Field('first_name'), polymodel=db.contact)
db.define_table('company',Field('business_name'),
polymodel=db.contact)
db.person.insert(first_name="John", address="here')
db.company.insert(business_name="John Inc", address="there')
contacts = db(db.contact.id>0).select() # should lists both persons
and conpanies
