I'm sure that's true, but I assume that many of these clients either wouldn't have been written this way or would have adapted by now if Gmail did things differ

- Arnt 8y agoPossible. But until those changes are done and deployed, users on mobile connections would do gigabyte-sized downloads and Google's servers would suffer. If a lot of clients do SELECT * FROM *, the DBA will complain a lot until it stops, one way or another. There are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches; it must have been a nasty choice to make.
- michaelmior 8y agoSure, can't argue with that :)
