Table code:
db.define_table('TABLE_of_sites', 
Field('site_id', 'reference sites'),
Field('title', 'string'), 
Field('date','datetime'),
...
Field('updated','datetime', update=request.now, writable=False),
format='%(site_id)s'
)


In controller:
table = db['TABLE_of_sites']
rows = db(table).select(distinct=table.title)

Gives the error:

ProgrammingError: missing FROM-clause entry for table "table_of_sites"
LINE 1: SELECT DISTINCT ON (TABLE_of_sites.title) "TABLE_of...

                            ^


I printed the sql query that resulted from the above code. It has the 
FROM-clause, so I don't know why it would give the error. This is the 
printed query:
SELECT DISTINCT ON (TABLE_of_sites.title) "TABLE_of_sites"."id", 
"TABLE_of_sites"."site_id", "TABLE_of_sites"."date", 
"TABLE_of_sites"."title" FROM "TABLE_of_sites" WHERE ("TABLE_of_sites"."id" 
IS NOT NULL);

I need to select 1 row for entries that appear multiple times for a 
particular title, hence I'm using distinct (or aggregates like max() - 
details in my previous post) but both are not working.

Thank you for your time and assistance!
