Re: ?s regarding sparse indexes

This is not correct...

Assuming you are using only SQL to access the table, it's perfectly alright
to reference the table.  As long as you are being lazy and using SELECT *.
 SQL is decoupled by default.  You can add columns without affect existing
programs.

*PUBLIC is *EXCLUDEd on any new SQL object by default when using SQL naming
simply because it's a security best practice to deny all by default and to
explicitly grant authorization.
