Consider the following query

rows = db(db.table).select(x,y groupby = x)

If x and y are table fields this obviously works.

Now consider

group = x/100

rows = db(db.table).select(group,y, groupby = group)

This also works nicely and will group into groups for each x with a value 
of x divided by 100, but is of little use.

However, the following fails:

group = math.floor(x/100) and throws the exception function doesn't have 
attribute type

The intent is to group numeric values into ranges, so I am trying to 
implement a  slightly more complex function which returns a range 
indicator, perhaps as a string (e.g. "100-200"), but in order to get that 
working first the simple case of using the result of a function needs to be 
solved.

In plain SQL calling a function is an option, perhaps it is a limitation of 
the DAL

thnx
Arthur
