title: SELECT * EXCEPT
body: <p>Is there any RDBMS that implements something like <code>SELECT * EXCEPT</code>?  What I'm after is getting all of the fields except a specific TEXT/BLOB field, and I'd like to just select everything else.</p>
  
  <p>Almost daily I complain to my coworkers that someone should implement this...  It's terribly annoying that it doesn't exist.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I understand everyone's concern for <code>SELECT *</code>.  I know the risks associated with <code>SELECT *</code>.  However, this, at least in my situation, would not be used for any Production level code, or even Development level code; strictly for debugging, when I need to see all of the values easily.</p>
  
  <p>As I've stated in some of the comments, where I work is strictly a commandline shop, doing everything over ssh.  This makes it difficult to use any gui tools (external connections to the database aren't allowed), etc etc.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the suggestions though.</p>
