I have a table in an odbc connected database

i already have my connection setup because of other controllers stuff

import sys
import pythoncom
pythoncom.CoInitialize ()
import win32com.client
conn = win32com.client.Dispatch(r'ADODB.Connection')
rs = win32com.client.Dispatch('ADODB.Recordset')
DSN='Driver={Client Access ODBC Driver (32-bit)};System=x.x.x.x;User
ID=x.x.x.x;Password=x.x.x.x;Initial Catalog=QGPL;CommandTimeout=0;'
conn.Open(DSN)

etc

as i dont know how to autocomplete base on a remote odbc i imported a table
to my web2py instance

*now i have*

db.define_table('lista',
    Field('mp'))

*after i have *

db.define_table('matprimas',
    Field('descr'),
    Field('qt','integer'))
db.matprimas.descr.widget = SQLFORM.widgets.autocomplete(request,
db.lista.mp, limitby=(0,10), min_length=2)

I would like to avoid having to update regularly my table *lista* and
autocomplete my form field directly based on my odbc dsn

Is this possible? I see this need a lot in my company, especially working
on top of the ERP system.

Thank you again

António
