sorry I forgot.
Imagine you have:
db.define_table('mytable',Field('somedata','text'))
you can define an action:
def gimmefile():
# http://..../gimmefile/<id>
myrecord=db.mytable(request.args(0))
filename = "%s.txt" % myrecord.id
response.headers['Content-Dispotion']="attachment;filename=%s" %
filename
return myrecord.text
