SQL exclude a column using SELECT * [except columnA] FROM tableA?

Question

We all know that to select all columns from a table, we can use

SELECT * FROM tableA

Is there a way to exclude column(s) from a table witho

Answer 1

Right click table in Object Explorer, Select top 1000 rows

It'll list all columns and not *. Then remove the unwanted column(s). Should be much faster than typing it yourself.

Then when you feel this is a bit too much work, get Red Gate's SQL Prompt, and type ssf from tbl, go to the * and click tab again.
