Then set the three variables Michele mentioned to false directly, it is not
necessary to create any metadata,
the following code snippet print the station name from a remote database
(vpn address), the powerful thing is that the table station has several
fields but I defined only once :)

db = DAL('postgres://web2py:web2py@10.8.0.26:5432/postgis',
        migrate=False,
        migrate_enabled=False,
        lazy_tables=True,
        pool_size=3
)

db.define_table('station',
        Field('name')
)

print db(db.station).select()
