Yes.

You're reading `table__field' abover *literally*.  There isn't a column in
the table named `table__field', there are lots of columns in the database
with `table' replaced by a table name, and `field' replace by a
field/column name.  If you look at the database itself you will see
columns like: 

svc_acct__slipip and svc_acct__slipip_flag
^^^^^^^^  ^^^^^^     ^^^^^^^^  ^^^^^^
table     field      table     field

Does that clear things up?
