Rethinkdb on Web2py

[Oasis Agano]

Is there a way of using rethinkdb on web2py framework 

[Marlysson Silva]

I think that no.. because the DAL adapters in the web2py support only these databases:

You can connect to rethinkdb with javascript...

You cannot use it with the DAL, as there is no adapter, and therefore you cannot use it with any parts of web2py that depend on the DAL (Auth, SQLFORM, SQLFORM.grid). However, you can certainly use RethinkDB within a web2py application -- just use the Python driver provided by RethinkDB.

Great answer , just I've a doubt .. which type of applications use rethinkdb standalone.. without persist in database..

What do you mean by "use rethinkdb standalone.. without persist in database.."?

The rethinkdb itself has persistence, no?

Your web2py server could consume results from a rethinkdb query without saving anything in the RDBMS (postrgres, mysql, etc), just as it could consume information from another website (dowjones.com, cnn.com, etc) with or without saving anything locally.  I'm not coming up with a use-case for it at the moment, but I have consumed services from a power-switching device, so I won't be surprised if someone else comes up with something.

I would be inclined to have the rethinkdb query come from my client code, in the javascript on a web page or within a mobile app, but I'm sure someone has more imagination that I do.

any plans to a rethinkdb adapter to DAL in the foreseeable future?
