FWIW, this is what I ended up doing (for anyone's future reference):
in controller:
data = db(db.table1.field1=value).select(db.table1.field1,
db.table1.field2)
for (i, row) in enumerate(data):
lookupvalue = row.table1.field2
data[i].field3 = db2.table2(field2=lookupvalue).field3
r
What's the easiest way to construct my own rows object from data
across two databases? Can I create a class that inherits from the
Rows class? Or is there something even simpler?

Ouch I thought it's within the same database. Sorry.

With two databases will work only if you have linked-servers in your
backend. I did it with MSSQL two databases linked and some views defined in
DB. so in web2py I defined the views as tables.
Inner joins between two different databases?!
I understood Jim were talking about a lagacy database and his app
database. Two different db's.
If we're talking about the same database, I'm with you, lyn2py.

Definitely possible.
Take a look at the examples here:
