    SQL Generated by Data Module - Pull only those fields used in a query, similar to how packages work.

    When creating reports against a data module, the SQL generated pulls all the fields from the table(s) used in the query. This is not ideal, as it is inefficient, and there are certain data types, such as bits, that cause issues in data modules. It...
