I asked a similar question before and I was told that it is quicker to write
out all the field names instead of using the *.

Subject: To wildcard or not to wildcard (the SELECT statement)
When we query with a star (*) in the SELECT statement,
does MS-Access return all the fields, even if they are empty?
I have over 50 fields in a perticuar table, but some pages only
use 3 or 4 of them. The rest are empty.
For performances sake, am I better off using:
<CFQUERY DATASOURCE="CSM" NAME="Data">
SELECT a1,a2,a3
FROM test
</cfquery>
instead of:
<CFQUERY DATASOURCE="CSM" NAME="Data">
SELECT *
FROM test
</cfquery>
Will it make a difference in speed?
(It would be alot simpler to use the *
