Now you can also do db(db.item) instead of db(db.item.id>0), so db(db.item).count(). You can also use count() as an aggregate function in a select, as described here: http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/06#Grouping-and-Counting. If you just need to check whether a table is empty, a more efficient method is db(db.item).is_empty().
