I have a table with a lot of fields, some of which are type TEXT. I seem to have a lot of occasions where I'd like to see almost all of the fields in a query but a SELECT * will pull in the text fields, which then wrap across the screen, even using \x. Is there a variation of SELECT that is something like 'select all fields except these here WHERE...'? This would save me a lot of typing. I checked the docs but missed it if it's in there. thx r ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
