if your db doesn't have "id" fields, or primary keys with different names, then you might consider setting up a view to map into the expected id fields...
As for setting up the tables: NOTE: You do NOT need to have the tables defined in web2py - only the interface to those tables / columns you need to know about. That is pretty easy, and can let you experiment incrementally - you could first just connect to see if you can find / sort on one item... You can incrementally add as you need to access things - no need to do it all at once, or worry about testing everything, just what you need to access, when you need it..
