Do you think an SQL-server has psychic capabilities? Seriously, you should always specify all the columns you want. If you don't want to type them in, you can always create your sql-string from code, like e.g. my $query = "SELECT " . (join ",", map { sprintf("col%02d", $_) } (0..80)) . " FROM atable"; -- felix -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
