"they want to prevent unwanted fields to be returned by API system." Why? Is this for performance reasons, data compliance reasons, or something else? Is it actually the biggest problem you need to fix right now?Philip Kendall– Philip Kendall2019-05-12 07:03:28 +00:00Commented May 12, 2019 at 7:03

3Do your developers actually want to create a secure application that doesn't leak unwanted information? If yes, then provide trainings and materials that explain what information is secure. If not, then you have much worse problem than leaking data.Euphoric– Euphoric2019-05-12 07:07:06 +00:00Commented May 12, 2019 at 7:07

6I sense a power struggle in this question between database administrators on the one hand and application developers on the other hand. And a frustrated response from a representative of the first group. "We DBAs smart, them developers stupid!"Martin Maat– Martin Maat2019-05-12 07:14:43 +00:00Commented May 12, 2019 at 7:14

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
