What I do is to either create a database view or a table containing the result and then in the controller define a model with 'migrate = False' to read the view/table and then use the grid on that view/table. In order for web2py to use that view/table easily I put something like 'id = 1' in the select and then make the id field 'readable=False' in the controller.
