Good question, I am not shure if I need to.
Here's why I am asking: I have a table that does not have a primary key and I need to update only one row. This complicates my Update Query since I cannot specify a Where clause. I did had a primary key RowID (AUTO INCREMENT) to be sble to specify a row in my query. But this Field (RowID) can now be seen when I do a SELECT query. I did not find a way to hide this field. So my first question should be : Is there a way to hide a field ??

I guess it will only be safe if you're sure you've got all bugs out, like in the MySQL engine. So the question would be: WHY?
