SQLFORM.factory is just like SQLFORM however it does not connect to a
database(meaning you don't have to have any physical models)
you use SQLFORM.factory just like db.define_table()
form = SQLFORM.factory(Field('user', requires=IS_IN_DB()),
Field('someotherfieldfromalargerelationship', 'boolean'))
then form.accepts(request.vars, session)
db[userid] = request.vars.id
db[someother] where userid==userid = request.vars.someotherfieldblahblah
