The name of the field. For reads, this is the column name. For
SQL queries, it is the column alias (e.g., "Word" in the
query "SELECT 'hello' AS Word"), or the column name (e.g.,
"ColName" in the query "SELECT ColName FROM Table"). Some
columns might have an empty name (e.g., "SELECT
UPPER(ColName)"). Note that a query result can contain
multiple fields with the same name.
