总之，你不能这样做，但我不同意上面所有的评论，有“一些”情况下，你可以合法地使用* 当您创建一个嵌套查询以便从整个列表中选择一个特定的范围(例如分页)时，为什么要在外部选择语句中指定每一列，而您已经在内部选择语句中完成了呢?

不，这是不可能的。如果在您的情况下可行，也许您可以创建自定义视图

如果你的数据库支持动态sql的执行，你可以写一个SP，把你不想看到的列传递给它，让它动态创建查询并返回结果给你。我认为这至少在SQL Server中是可行的

你可以这样尝试:

/* Get the data into a temp table */
SELECT * INTO #TempTable
FROM YourTable
/* Drop the columns that are not needed */
ALTER TABLE #TempTable
DROP COLUMN ColumnToDrop
/* Get results and drop temp table */
SELECT * FROM #TempTable
DROP TABLE #TempTable

是的，这是可能的(但不建议)。

CREATE TABLE contact (contactid int, name varchar(100), dob datetime)
INSERT INTO contact SELECT 1, 'Joe', '1974-01-01'

DECLARE @columns varchar(8000)

SELECT @columns = ISNULL(@columns + ', ','') + QUOTENAME(column_name)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'contact' AND COLUMN_NAME <> 'dob'
ORDER BY ORDINAL_POSITION

EXEC ('SELECT ' + @columns + ' FROM contact')

代码说明:

Declare a variable to store a comma separated list of column names. This defaults to NULL. Use a system view to determine the names of the columns in our table. Use SELECT @variable = @variable + ... FROM to concatenate the column names. This type of SELECT does not not return a result set. This is perhaps undocumented behaviour but works in every version of SQL Server. As an alternative you could use SET @variable = (SELECT ... FOR XML PATH('')) to concatenate strings. Use the ISNULL function to prepend a comma only if this is not the first column name. Use the QUOTENAME function to support spaces and punctuation in column names. Use the WHERE clause to hide columns we don't want to see. Use EXEC (@variable), also known as dynamic SQL, to resolve the column names at runtime. This is needed because we don't know the column names at compile time.

如果有人像我一样使用MySql，请使用这个:

CREATE TABLE TempTable AS SELECT * FROM #YourTable; 

ALTER TABLE TempTable 
DROP COLUMN #YourColumn; 

SELECT * FROM TempTable; 
DROP TABLE TempTable;

您可以从devart.com获得SQL Complete，它不仅像Red Gate的SQL Prompt一样展开*通配符(如cairnz的回答所述)，而且还提供了一个列选择器下拉复选框，您可以在选择列表中选中您想要的所有列，它们将自动为您插入(如果您然后取消选中某个列，它将自动从选择列表中删除)。
