SQL Select * from multiple tables

Question

Using PHP/PDO/MySQL is it possible to use a wildcard for the columns when a select is done on multiple tables and the returned array keys are fully qualified to avoid column

Answer 1

you can do this:

SELECT Table1.*,Table2.xyz, Table2.abc,... From...

where you get all columns from one table using "*" and then just the columns from the other table you need, so there is no clash.

You could also use column aliases, where you "rename" a column:

SELECT Table1.A AS T1_A,Table2.A AS T2_A,... From...

your result set would be of columns T1_A and T2_A
