I came up with a first version that works:

def operator_field_starts(field, first_int, query_env={}):
    '''bla bla
    '''
    if not field.type.startswith('list:'):
        raise AttributeError, "bla bla bla"
    dialect = field._dialect
    arg = '|'+dialect._like_escaper_default(str(first_int))+'|%'
    op = dialect.like
    return op(field, arg, escape='\\', query_env=query_env)

from pydal.objects import Query
def field_starts(field, first_int):
    db = field._db
    return Query(db, operator_field_starts, field, first_int)

and then it is used like this:

db( field_starts(db.operation.parameters, my_parameter) & (db.operation.
canceled==True))._count()

I feel it would be more efficient to use SUBSTR instead of LIKE, so I'll go 
for a second version...

Regards
