Out of interest, are you trying to analyse the results of a "SELECT *" ?  
Because since it's your query in the first place, you should know what columns 
you asked for.

Generally, experienced programmers don't use "SELECT *" inside real 
applications, although it can be useful for utilities.  The problem comes when 
you want to change your schema and find if difficult to find all the SELECTs 
you now have to modify.
