I have three tables, all of which have a 'name' column.

If I do:

select table1.*, table2.*, table3.* from ....

I'll end up with a result set that has three 'name' fields, but no way to distinguish which table the field belongs to.

I know I can select individual columns like:

select table1.name as foo, table2.name as bar ...

but I need all the columns from each table and that will be very tedious. Is there a way to set a prefix for each table so that the results come out like tablename.column?
