Technically, you don't need to define $this->_table_cols at all --  
Solar_Sql_Model inspects the database for those.  The column defs are  
used for creating the table, and for documenting the expected  
schema.  (At some point in the future we'll compare the defined  
columns with the actual ones and raise notices if they don't match.)

The magic fetches do not look at the table cols; they just construct  
the query and issue it.

Does that help at all?
