Where do you have that code? in a model file? Your problem is that the variable with name db is not defined in the scope that code runs.
make sure you set it before, usually with db = DAL <http://web2py.com/book/default/docstring/DAL>(...) * *this variable should be visible in a controller or a model. You have to pass it if you're doing it for instance in a module.
