I have following query and I want to exclude the column RowNum from the result, how can I do it ?

SELECT  *
FROM    
   (SELECT    
       ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( ORDER BY [Report].[dbo].[Reflow].ReflowID ) AS RowNum, *
    FROM      
       [Report].[dbo].[Reflow]
    WHERE     
       [Report].[dbo].[Reflow].ReflowProcessID = 2) AS RowConstrainedResult
WHERE   
   RowNum >= 100 AND RowNum < 120
ORDER BY 
   RowNum

Thanks.

    It’s considered bad practice to not specify column names in your query.

    You could push the data into a #temp table, then ALTER the columns in that #temp to DROP a COLUMN, then SELECT * FROM #temp.

    This would be inefficent, but it will get you the result you are asking for. By default though, it’s best to get into the way of specifying all the columns you require. If someone ALTERs your initial table, even using the push #temp method above, you’ll end up with different columns.
