Thank you, but I already know the basics of SQL SELECT statements. What I am trying to say is, if a User writes a SELECT clause, I do not want him to see the RowID field. I do not want him to write a long SELECT statement, especially if my table has 20 FIELDS or more. (Can you imagine the user writing these queries all the time).
I want him to be able to write SELECT * FROM ATABLE.

Let's say I have RowID Name Address City And I only want Name Address and City SELECT Name, Address, City FROM table WHERE RowID = 'foo' UPDATE table SET Name = 'foo' WHERE RowID = '12' etcetera A good book on SQL basics will get you a long way on things like this. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
