I was wondering if there is a way to do something like selecting all without … some columns here

something like SELECT */column1,column2 , is there a way to do this ?
I just need to output something like

column1 , column2 ( from another table ) , here all other columns without column1 ( or something to make the select skip the first few columns)

EDIT:
The thing is that i need this to be dynamic , so i cant just select what i don’t know. I never know how many columns there will be , i just know the 1st and the 2nd column

EDIT: here is a picture http://oi44.tinypic.com/xgdyiq.jpg
I don’t need the second id column , just the last column like i have pointed.

    Oh, so select all but certain fields. You have two options.

    One is a little slow.. Copy the table, drop the fields you don’t want, then SELECT *
    The other is to build the field list from a subquery to information_schema or something, then remove occurrences of ‘field_i_dont_want’ in that list.

    SELECT ( SELECT THE TABLES YOU WANT AND CONCAT INTO ONE STRING ) FROM TABLE
