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.
