SQL exclude a column using SELECT * [except columnA] FROM tableA?

Question

We all know that to select all columns from a table, we can use

SELECT * FROM tableA

Is there a way to exclude column(s) from a table witho

Answer 1

no there is no way to do this. maybe you can create custom views if that's feasible in your situation

EDIT May be if your DB supports execution of dynamic sql u could write an SP and pass the columns u don't want to see to it and let it create the query dynamically and return the result to you. I think this is doable in SQL Server atleast
