selecting multiple like-named columns - Mailing list pgsql-general

Howdy:

Running PostgreSQL 7.2.1 on RedHat Linux 7.2.

Is there a way to do a select for the column
names from a table by using some type of
wild card?

Let's say I have something like column_1, column_2,
other_column_1, other_column_2 ...

[example]

select
column_%,
other_column_%,
from
t_table
;

[/example]

I'm trying to figure out how to get all of the
data from the columns that have similar
names.

Thanks!
