SELECT * EXCEPT(…)

June 3rd, 2007

This would have been one of the coolest additions to SQL. Programmers are lazy, always looking for a way to avoid writing more code and I suppose this is one area I fit the norm. I need to select all the fields from a 20-column table… except one.

Doing a Google search, it’s apparent I’m not the only one who’s looking for such a feature. I know, I know. I could have written the column names manually during the time I typed this.
