(I already post this question, but it was deleted in few seconds and no 
reason was mentioned. I try to repost it, removing formatting and external 
links... If something is wrong, please inform me :)

I have defined this model:

db.define_table('fruits_in_shop',
    Field('shop_name'),
    Field('species'),
    Field('number','integer'))

With this kind of record inside:
fruits_in_shop.id fruits_in_shop.shop_name fruits_in_shop.species 
fruits_in_shop.number
1 Mark's shop apple         32
2 Mark's shop pear         22
3 John's Market banana 22
4 John's Market apple         36

I'm looking for a way to show the result as a "pivot table":

Shop          apple        pear         banana
Mark's shop     32          22            0
John's Market   32           0           22

I often used a mysql trick to get this result, but there is a way to get 
this result using DAL? 

Otherwise I suppose to perform sequential queries and store the results in 
a dictionary. 
(fruits<-select distict fruit from table; for fruit in fruits: 
column<-select * from table where fruit=fruit;) 
In this case, there is a (easy) way to convert that dictionary into a 
gluon.sql.Rows object?
Should I use its __init__ method?
