Re: Java code help...

Ok.  Let's say you have a list container that holds records
from your result set.  Say a vector of the base object.

Now, in this thread I've read that you shouldn't select
fields you don't need.  I've also heard that to minimize
work with table updates, to follow the example as Fred has
shown.  (BTW, great example).

Now, if I am hiding the data from my user, the container
they use will need to contain all the fields, since they
really won't know which fields (or members) they will need.

So, this eliminates the "don't request a field unless you're
going to use it" idea, at least in my view.  Because the end
user doesn't deal with a result set or affect the fields
selected and used in the container when it is loaded.  They
simply .load() the class.

I can think of ways that the user could be allowed to choose
the fields to load, but then how would the class loader deal
with that?

thinking out load again...
