To be perfectly honest, I have no idea how or if this even still works.
Why do you think it would be useful?
Why not try it out and see how it works?
But original behavior was that if you had a bizobj like the following
defined:
{{{
class MyBiz(dabo.biz.dBizobj):
def initProperties(self):
self.DataSource = "customers"
}}}
And instantiated it, and requeried it, the sql executed would be "select
* from customers". So yes, all fields and all records.
Now, if what you think is useful is getting all fields without
explicitly setting them, you can still do that by e.g. setting UserSQL
directly.
