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

A colleage advised a good alternative:

• Do SELECT INTO in your preceding query (where you generate or get the data from) into a table (which you will delete when done). This will create the structure for you.
• Do a script as CREATE to new query window.
• Remove the unwanted columns. Format the remaining columns into a 1 liner and paste as your column list.
• Delete the table you created.

Done...

This helped us a lot.
