select column from table - Mailing list pgsql-sql

Hi everybody!

I just want to know is there a way in SQL command that can handle column 
selection?.
The case is :
If I've a table with 10 columns and I want to select 8 of them without 
rewrite the columns/fields name in the SQL query?
eg : Current SQL query is :- Select a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h from abctable; - 
greps 8 columns      Can SQL do something like Select * from abctable without i,j ? - 
greps all 8 columns?

Thanks.
