Hi!

Title says it pretty much. I am wondering if there is a short way to
form a query that retrieves all fields of a table (of which I do not
know names and number beforehand) except for one (or more, of which I
know the name(s)). I have stumbled across the need for this a couple
of time during the last few years. Maybe there is a way and I am just
being blind ..

For instance, I would use this in a plpgsql function to select all
fields but "bad_field" from a number of tables. I know the name of the
field I DO NOT want, but number and names of the other fields (which I
want) are not known at the time of writing the function.

Thanx for your hints and please cc answers to my email.


Regards
Erwin
