If you mean the view "*appadmin/select/db?query=your query"* actually the 
table with the resulting rows is wrapped in a div with "overflow:auto".
Therefore if you have more columns than the width of the browser a 
horizontal scrollbar will be shown and the table will scroll horizontally. 
The horizontal scrollbar (that is managed by browser not by web2py) is 
positioned after the last displayed row but you can scroll the table with 
arrow keys on the keyboard.
For the sake of completeness, if the div wrapper had "overflow:hidden" you 
couldn't see any scrollbar.
