我听说在编写SQL命令时使用SELECT *通常是不好的做法，因为选择您特别需要的列会更有效。
如果我需要选择表中的每一列，我应该使用
SELECT * FROM TABLE
or
SELECT column1, colum2, column3, etc. FROM TABLE
在这种情况下，效率真的重要吗?如果你真的需要所有的数据，我认为SELECT *在内部会更优，但我这么说并没有真正理解数据库。
我很好奇在这种情况下最好的做法是什么。
更新:我可能应该指定，我真正想要执行SELECT *的唯一情况是，当我从一个表中选择数据时，我知道总是需要检索所有列，即使添加了新列。
然而，鉴于我所看到的反应，这似乎仍然是一个坏主意，由于我曾经考虑过的许多技术原因，SELECT *不应该被使用。

结果太大了。从SQL引擎生成结果并将结果发送到客户机的速度很慢。
客户端是一个通用的编程环境，不是也不应该被设计为过滤和处理结果(例如WHERE子句，ORDER子句)，因为行数可能非常大(例如数千万行)。

记住，如果根据定义有一个内部连接，则不需要所有列，因为连接列中的数据是重复的。
It's not like listing columns in SQl server is hard or even time-consuming. You just drag them over from the object browser (you can get all in one go by dragging from the word columns). To put a permanent performance hit on your system (becasue this can reduce the use of indexes and becasue sending unneeded data over the network is costly) and make it more likely that you will have unexpected problems as the database changes (sometimes columns get added that you do not want the user to see for instance) just to save less than a minute of development time is short-sighted and unprofessional.
每次都定义你想要SELECT的列。没有理由不这样做，性能的提高是非常值得的。
他们不应该给“SELECT *”选项
让我们想想哪一个更快。如果你可以选择你需要的数据，那么速度会更快。然而，在测试中，您可以提取所有数据，以判断哪些数据可以根据业务需求过滤掉。
select *是一件坏事，有四个主要原因:
The most significant practical reason is that it forces the user to magically know the order in which columns will be returned. It's better to be explicit, which also protects you against the table changing, which segues nicely into... If a column name you're using changes, it's better to catch it early (at the point of the SQL call) rather than when you're trying to use the column that no longer exists (or has had its name changed, etc.) Listing the column names makes your code far more self-documented, and so probably more readable. If you're transferring over a network (or even if you aren't), columns you don't need are just waste.
如果想要获得元数据，例如列的数量，SELECT *是必需的。
