Validators during db.insert

[Frederik Wagner]

Hi .*,

is there a way of making web2py run the validators configured in the
model on a dataset inserted via a direct db.table.insert statement? It
looks like I'm able to insert any kind of data, it's validated...

Thanks and Bye,
Frederik

Validators apply to forms only not database insert. This is for speed
but also because the workflow would be unclear: how would error be
reported? As exceptions?

I guess you can define your own insert function that validates before
insert and throws an exception on failed validation.
