There is a conceptual problem. You can specify the constraint using SQL but 
when you input a form, how should the error be reported?

The standard practice is to attach a validator to only one of the two fields

db.define_table('x', Field('a'),Field('b'),...)
db.x.b.requires = IS_NOT_IN_DB(db(db.x.a==request.vars.a), db.b)
