Re: need help with select statement
No, no you are welcome. I made a reserved word list and some other stuff, which is not complete yet. I concentrate on topics which I (personally) would like to be covered more detailed than it is done in the original MySQLmanual. http://www.knowd.co.jp/staff/nils Feel free to browse around, but be aware that the one or the other statement made by me on the page might be incomplete yet or contains perhaps even wrong information. If this would be the case than I would certainly appreciate any comment or feedback.

Re: Need help with select statement.
No it's not possible but you can just read in all tables anyway and ignore the columns you don't want. - Original Message - From: "David Jacobowitz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 7:33 Subject: Need help with select statement. > Dear Sir, > > I have looked in the manual but could not find any clue so I am seeking your > assistance.

Need help with select statement.
Dear Sir, I have looked in the manual but could not find any clue so I am seeking your assistance. I have a table with 25 fields and I use most of these fields but not all in different DBI scripts. Currently I use: SELECT field_1, field_4, ...getting tired typing field names... FROM myTest; Is it possible to do something like: SELECT * FROM myTest EXCEPT field_2, field_3; Greatly appreciate your help.
