You want to create a slug?
web2py comes with IS_SLUG validator which helps with this.
db.define_table("product",
Field("title", unique=True),
...
...
Field("slug", compute=lambda row: IS_SLUG()(row.title)[0]
)
So now you can use slug field to build your urls.
URL("product", "show", args=product.slug)
in product/show/product-name
def show():
try:
product = db.product[int(request.args(0))]
except:
product = db(db.product.slug == request.args(0)).select().first()
return product
