recap:
- db.table1.ALL is just a shortcut to db.table1.field1, db.table1.field2,
db.table1.field3, etc etc etc
- select() without arguments selects all fields for all tables involved.
- if you pass something explicit to select() , you get just what you asked
for
tl;dr : exactly what you observed.
ALL is useful, e.g., when you need all fields of table1 but only some
fields of table2.
Instead of doing
select(*db.table1.field1, db.table1.field2, db.table1.field3,
db.table1.field4, db.table1.field5, *
*db.table2.field1, db.table2.field2*
)
you can do
select(*db.table1.ALL*, *db.table2.field1, db.table2.field2*)
