It depends on whether you want to use ajax or not. Let's say no-ajax:
assuming db.define_table('thing',Field('name'))
def index():
form = SQLFORM(db.thing,request.args(0,cast=int))
db.thing.id.represent=lambda id,row:A('edit',URL(args=id))
items = db(db.thing).select()
return dict(form=form,items=items)
of course you can use grid as well
@auth.requires_login()
def index():
return dict(grid=SQLFORM.grid(db.thing))
You can do it with Ajax but how really depends on details.
