First of all, be easy on me, I'm new to coding and new to web2py.  

I am trying to get some data from the database with the following function:

def db_query(db_name, db_record, db_field, length):
    query = 
(db.db_name.Financial_Institution==auth.user.id)&(db.db_name.Completed==1)
    db_record = db(query).select(db_field)
    db_record = str(db_record[0])
    ending = (len(db_record)) - 4
    db_record = db_record[length:ending]
    return db_record

Two problems

1.  I'm having to parse the data because I need the value in the field, but 
can't seem to do it with the built in helpers.
2.  This particular function won't let me pass a variable into the query, 
so db_name is coming across as 'db_name' and not 'the_value_I_put_in'.

Can anyone help me with this?
