Question

I have a table with over a hundred columns, but I only want to select the the columns named nvarchar1, nvarchar2, … nvarchar64. All of these 64 columns are next to each other so I was thinking maybe there is a way to select using column indices, but I couldn’t find a solution.

Note: I don’t want to do the obvious solution,

SELECT nvarchar1,
       nvarchar2,
       ...
       nvarchar64
...

Make use of the result from this query:

select  column_name + ','
from    information_schema.columns
where   table_name = 'your table name'
        and column_name like 'nvarchar%'
