Now I understand.
I think this should work:
# some loop over name,repoType,task
db.define_table("{0}{1}{2}".format(name,repoType,task),
Field('fileName'),
Field('fileSize','integer'))
for pTable in db.tables:
if 'P4Sync' in pTable:
if pTable.startswith('coreP4'):
db(db[pTable].id > 0) blablablabla ....
