[development] Field "body" no longer part of node table in 4.7 - looking for guidance on what to change

[Scott McLewin]

Good evening.

I'm busy upgrading the one module I maintain (wishlist.module) to Drupal 
4.7.  It has been pretty straightforward, following 
http://drupal.org/node/33338 helped a lot.  The forms api conversion was 
simple with the help of the http://www.lullabot.com/formupdater.  Thanks 
for the work that went into both of these.

I've gone through the upgrade steps and rummaged around drupal.org 
looking for some help with a problem.  I can save, delete and edit a 
wishlist node with no problem.  But my custom display for showing 
wishlist items in a table (http://mclewin.com/wishlist/2 [4.6 version]) 
spews SQL errors.  Looking at the table schema, it appears that database 
structure was changed to remove the field "body" from the NODE table.  A 
little digging found a "body" field in the NODE_REVISONS table.  Before 
I rework my code to add another join between NODE and NODE_REVISIONS I 
thought I would double check that doing so is considered 'correct' - 
what is the intended way to retrieve the body text of the node in Druapl 
4.7?

Here is the error I'm getting:

    * user warning: Unknown column 'n.body' in 'field list' query:
      SELECT n.nid, n.title, n.uid, w.item_priority, w.item_est_cost,
      w.item_currency, n.body, n.changed, w.item_quantity_requested,
      w.item_url1, w.item_url2 FROM node n LEFT JOIN wishlist w ON n.nid
      = w.nid WHERE n.type='wishlist' AND n.uid=1 AND w.item_is_public
      ORDER BY n.title ASC LIMIT 0, 10 in
      /raid/home/www-drupaldev/drupal-4.7.0-beta2/includes/database.mysql.inc
      on line 108.
