I didn't test it but I'm sure it will work if there is only one primary key.
My table has five key fields so I cannot do the solution. I think this is
still a problem and should be fixed so it will work without defining 'id'
field.
db.define_table('EDTPOH00',
Field('POIMHF', length=1),
Field('PODOCS', length=3),
Field('POCTRL', length=20),
Field('PODIID', length=5),
Field('PODICD', length=20),
Field('PODDNO', length=22),
Field('POJDNO', length=8),
primarykey=['PODOCS', 'POCTRL', 'PODIID', 'PODICD','PODDNO'])
