I'm using version R7.
The reason I'm trying to avoid selecting the fields in particular is because there are a lot of fields I'm fetching.
PAWN does not like long strings, so I would even have to start using string manipulation functions just to write the query.
Fetching fields based on names is indeed not the fastest way to do it, but with a high amount of fields it's more convenient (as in easier to manage).
Though I've not yet looked into the new cache functions.
Would they provide better ways to do this?
Edit
Just did some research on the cache functions, and it seems they might just be the answer.
I'll see if it works, thanks!
