Sorry. I do not fully understand the question.

rows = db(db.a.status==False).select(db.a.md5,orderby='<random>',limitby=(0, 
150))

*is the same as*

* for row in db(db.s.status==False).select(db.s.md5):
        md5_list.append(row['md5'])
random.shuffle(md5_list)
md5_list=md5_list[:150]*


The former as you say is more efficient. Does it not work for you? Which 
database?
