Hi Ben, the FK and TFK references in the adapter and the migrate=False are unrelated. The migrate=False basically means 'use as is'. The DB will not be changed, but web2py needs to know how each table is defined before using it.
In the case of legacy keyed tables, where there is no id field, the default adapter does not know how to handle FK and TFK references defined in the actual table, that is why you have to add them to the adapter.
