Security filters are helpful in many ways, one of which being a security feature that ensures that only the ROWS you want are given to the userโs app.
My question is, is there a way to do a similar thing but with COLUMNS?
To be clear, I know slices exist and I am kinda looking for that, but only for it to happen in the way security filters do. In other words, I want a slice without having to load the entire table into the app first.
Use case: I have a table of jobs containing sensitive information. In one app, only a list of job names (labels) is needed, not any other columns. Instead of loading the entire set of the tableโs columns into the app and then only ever use/show the much smaller slice version, I want to just make the data loaded into the app small to begin with.
Side-note: It would be really cool if an app can determine that, if a table is never used directly but a slice is, then only loads into the app the set of data according to the slice and not the full table.
