Unfortunately, I cannot combine the two tables. The existing product uses 
one of them extensively for queue processing and I don't want to possibly 
break any of that functionality. All I want to do is update the SQLFORM 
with information from the new table. I can use db.executesql but won't that 
require me to remove SQLFORM? If so, is there another framework element I 
can leverage for displaying the rows?
