Expected results when querying fields ↗

The following are returned when querying fields:

• If specific fields are stated in the fields stage, those exact fields will be returned.
• If no fields are stated in the query, the xdm_core fieldset will be returned.
• Unmapped fields are treated as NULL. An unmapped field is a xdm field that hasn't been mapped from the relevant datasets using a Data Model Rule.
• By default, the _time system field will be added to all data model queries. Yet, the _time system field will not be added to queries that contain the comp stage.
• For dataset queries, all current system fields will be returned, even if they are not stated in the query.
• For UNION between XDM and dataset, each part of the UNION will return its own fields.
• Each new column in the result set created by the alter stage will be added as the last column. You can specify a different column order by modifying the field order in the fields stage of the query.
• Each new column in the result set created by the comp stage will be added as the last column. Other fields that are not in the group by / calculated column will be removed from the result set, including the core fields and _time system field.
• When no limit is explicitly stated in a datamodel query, a maximum of 1000 results are returned (default). When this limit is applied to results using the limit stage, it will be indicated in the user interface.
