This is more of a post about a Drupal curiousity I discovered the other day than anything but other people may have come across or wondered about the same thing so I thought I'd just do a quick summary. I was constructing a rather complicated View on a Drupal 6 site using Views 3 the other day and I noticed that not all of the fields seemed to be appearing in the substantial SQL query preview generated by views when a preview of the output is generated.

Run, run for your lives, the penguin has come.
