def deleteRecords(): _tables=['auth_user', 'auth_group', 'auth_membership', 'auth_permisssion', 'auth_event', 'local_user', 'local_history'] for tbl in db.tables: if not tbl._tablename in _tables: db(tbl).delete()
important thing: if not tbl._tablename in _tables this is just a shorter version: db(tbl).delete()
