sorry. you can but it really depends on details.

In db(query).select()

query is a variable and you can do

query=query1&query2

or

query=query1|query2

query1 can be db[table][field]==value

you can combine and build them as you wish in a loop. How you do this
in practice depends on the representation of the input.
