In SQL Server, if I got a table with like 20 columns and I want 18 of them, can I say something like * minus columnname1, columnname2, course right now I write them all.
But if you could it would be much easier.
It is not possible. However if you are using SQL Server Management Studio 2008 / 2005 you can right click on the table and select the “Script Table as > SELECT To” menu option. This will save you typing the column names, or purchase Red-Gate’s SQL Prompt
