find all fields (*) with some extra

[hans-d]

Using the fields key in a find to return a SQL function output works fine. However, when all fields from a model are required and some functions, it is not possible to specify '*'. The generated SQL is fine, but the returned data is not mapped to the entities. but you get the right amount of (empty) entities...

Works: Model::first(array('fields' => array('field1', 'CASE field1 WHEN "" THEN true ELSE false END as check'));

Does not work: Model::first(array('fields' => array('*', 'CASE field1 WHEN "" THEN true ELSE false END AS check'));

Prefixing the '*' with the Model name / alias does not work.

The only workaround is to do something like

$fields = array_keys(Model::schema());
$fields[] = 'CASE field1 WHEN "" THEN true ELSE false END AS check';
Model::first(array('fields' => $fields));

All within the MySQL context on master.

This gets into the somewhat deeper issue of mapping result sets, which you technically can do manually already, it's just not super straightforward. This is probably a longer-term enhancement.
