Remote database synchronization

[Scott Hunter]

The technique put forth in Chapter 6 of the book says every record must "reference the UUID instead of the id", and the example redefines a field of db.dog from `Field('owner', db.person),` to Field('owner', length=64),``, adding `db.dog.owner.requires = IS_IN_DB(db,'person.uuid','%(name)s')`. 

Does this mean that things like SQLFORM.grid will not work for tables defined so?  What about tables like those part of `auth`?

If these parts of web2py will no longer work, is there a recommended way to synchronize remote databases that does not have these issues?

Hi,

I have the same question.

Does web2py allows remote synchro?

Better if it was assynchronous. It means, every transaction wold be stored in a quewe and eventualy synchronized to remote.

Its it possible?

I need this feature.

regards,

Ari

Is it possible to catch each and every Dal Action and send it to a queue, in order to use the info to update another database (remote, which I want to update, assynchronously). 

Would I need to have a UUID to make it?
