Notes

When an item is updated in the database, all of its selected fields are checked for changes. Only fields that have changed are updated in the database. Since checking all fields can be an expensive operation, you can deselect some fields if you know they have not changed. Note that you can override the select flag using the VarFieldList method SelectAll().
