The commit I made today actually doesn't change that, Dan. But I don't
believe IC is always selecting * to get the field names. It should check
only at daemon startup time, anyway. To be certain, see the full SQL query
log from your database (easy to do with MySQL or PostgreSQL) to see what
queries IC is doing. That should shed some light on how that works.
