Select all but one
Can anyone tell me a select query that selects all columns but one in oracle or sql server?

For example select * (exclude column a)

afaik the only way to do this is to explicitly name the columns that you do want, ie
Code:
 select col1, col2, col3 from table..

I'm with christo on this one don't think you can use an except or exclude clause on a column. If for some reason you want to be able to write shorthand and you're always excluding that same column, you can just create a view to your table that excludes that one column and you can always do a select * on your view.
