Due to external constraints, I need to define two tables that are actually 
siblings and a third table's field that can choose from any of said tables.

e.g.:
db.define_table('melon')
db.define_table('watermelon')

I need the third table's field to be a reference to either of the two first 
tables.

Is there a way to define this in terms of field type and validators ?
I was thinking along the lines of:

db.define_table('my_table', Field('fruit_id', type=???, 
requires=IS_IN_DB(db, db.melon, _or=IS_IN_DB(db, db.watermelon)))

or maybe:

db.define_table('my_table', Field('fruit_id', type=???, 
requires=any([IS_IN_DB(db, db.melon), IS_IN_DB(db, db.watermelon)]))

But of course it doesn't work...


How can I work around this issue ?
