Hi web2pyers, very often, I have a field in the table which has to hold a complicated value (most often numpy arrays). The way I implement it is that I use "text" as the type of field, and then simply pickle.dumps(my_value) when I save the field, and then pickle.loads(value_from_db) to access the field again.
My suggestion is simple - create field that automatically pickles the values it gets and unpickles them on extraction. Is this already implemented? Do you have other suggestions on how to implement this so that I won't need to pickle every time I access the table? Best wishes, Omri --
