Sorry. Cannot be done this way. Represent takes the field value, not the entire row. The reason is that when web2py tries to represent a field in a SQLTABLE or in a FORM, only that field is guaranteed to be there. the other fields may not have been fetched from the database.
Anyway... I will think this can be improved. Let us know if you have any idea.
