Thanks for taking the time to look at this problem. len(dx.executesql('SELECT * from fields')) gave 43815, ie the correct answer.
I finally realized it was because the anki application for some reason had a negative id about 1/3 of the records. I was just using the default query dx.fields.id > 0, which filtered these out. It had nothing to do the the empty value field. Thanks for sorting this out for me. I enjoy using web2py.
