 a controller has a function called get_companies()
The companies table was chosen because it is readable as flat, for
learning..
(interested in .html .json and then perhaps .csv)

def get_companies():
    rows = db().select(
      db.companies.ALL,
      orderby=db.companies.company_short_name)

    return dict(rows=rows, description='description')

##---------

  I *do* use dates, but surprisingly, there are none here...

db.define_table('companies',
    Field('pkey', type='integer'),
    Field('company_full_name', type='text'),
    Field('company_short_name', type='text'),
    Field('net_sales', type='integer'),
    primarykey=['pkey'],
    migrate=migrate)

##-------

  so I am not sure what is not serializable about companies
as a beginner, it does look like there is some room for improvement
here..
.html  .json  .xml  etc is a powerful facility. would be great to be
bulletproofed!
