yeah but do you really want to list "all but..." columns? Like all
but those generated by default?
Granted, there's something to be said for being quite explicit on

%FIELDS and ensuring that only the columns you mean to be updated,

But I can see why some may not want to.

I agree. If you've got 400 columns and only two generated

columns, then you don't want to list 398 columns. On the flip side,

that situation, did all 398 columns really change at all? ;-)


Sincerely,

Dave Clark
