This won't help with db.auth_user, which is defined automatically (though you can define it manually yourself if preferred), but you can simply do: db.define_table('first_table', Field('field1'), Field('field2'), Field.Method('Field3', lambda row: 'value for field3')) Note, the first argument of Field.Method() and Field.Virtual() should always be the field name anyway, even if you are defining them like this: db.mytable.myfield = Field.Method('myfield', ...) There are particular cases where leaving the name out can lead to problems.
