I assume that instead of "select * from table" the tool forms the query as "select columna, columnb, columnc from table" and only displays those "fields."

Although some reporting tools think they can outplay the database and suck whole tables into their engine, displaying only what the user desires.

Your question was unclear...if you want more information you need to read a little bit about SQL and relational databases and come back with a more clear question.
