Right idea, not quite the complete implementation. 'fields' only applies to get_values, and the 'fields' kwarg isn't utilized by the sql query itself. The SQL query still retrieves all columns, and then a dict(zip()) the results to get a dictionary with the requested subset of values. The idea here would be to construct a SELECT that only pulls out the columns in 'fields'. This isn't of any use for normal use-case get_list() calls, but it could be useful for populating 'select' or 'tables' kwargs within a get_list() call. Russ %-)
