Ok, here's the format for my select and table creation:
In the controller:
rows = db_mydb(db_mydb.my_table).select()
fields = db_mydb.my_table.fields
headers = [list of headers]
table = TABLE(THEAD(TR(*[B(header) for header in headers])),
TBODY(*[TR(*[TD(row[field]) for field in fields]) \
for row in rows]))
table["_class"] = "table table-striped table-bordered table-condensed"
return dict(table=table)
In the view:
<div id="table" >
{{=LOAD('default','my_table_function',ajax=True, target='table')}}
</div>
