Hi Samuel,

just typing as I am thinking on this...

Is this a compiler pragma changeble in mid-code (like a #define set in code) or something set globally before a build ?

>TLOCAL myTable as SomeDatabase::SomeTableOrView
myTable = GetTableInterface([eSomeAlias])
>? MyTable.MynField  && Ok it exists
>? MyTable.MyNotExistsField && Error at compile time, this field does not exists
>

Would this not break on some alter table allowed today or make the code potentially unsafe against "simple" table exchanges keeping the field types but adding fields "in front" ? This assumes that GetTableInterface([eSomeAlias]) creates a struct with the field offsets of the table header at compile time, but any changes could blow that "assumption". Otherwise I how do you get the speed difference if you still interpret the header as it currently is ?

curious
