Change your expectations :P

You are inserting into database while generating the view, before view even
gets to the client (browser).

Your "href" needs to point to a controller, for example:

<a href="{{=URL('mycontroller', 'my_insert_function', args=[x.id])}}">{{=
x.name}}</a>

Then, in "mycontroller.py" file you need to have a "my_insert_function"
like this:

def my_insert_function():
  _id = request.args(0)
  db.store.insert(stuff = _id)
  redirect(URL('othercontroller', 'otherfunction)) # <-- you can use this
to go back to original page
