Selecting the columns we need to answer a particular problematic makes the work easier. \r\nThe documentation doesn't talk about such a possibility. Is it implemented?\r\n\r\nI think something like this would be intuitive and simple:\r\n\r\n```\r\ntable.columns[(col1, col2, col3)]\r\n```\r\nIf you think it's something agate needs, I can work on it."}}
