Adding the attribute "hidden" to a column prevents it from showing up in the expansion of '*' in the select list, while still allowing it to be queried by name. There is no RE matching in the select list; you are expected to know exactly what you want.
Having multiple instances of a field or fields in the row suggests that you schema is not properly normalized. This needs to be a concious design decision. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: sqlite-users [mailto:sqlite-users-boun...@mailinglists.sqlite.org] Im Auftrag von mukeshkb4u Gesendet: Donnerstag, 07.

Hi All, I have a table with multiple similar column names, like abc_1,abc_2,abc_3....... Is there a way i can do a select on only these columns in a table, without specifiying the full column list? Can i use a regular expression in selecting column names ?
