When we query with a star (*) in the SELECT statement,
does MS-Access return all the fields, even if they are empty?

I have over 50 fields in a perticuar table, but some pages only
use 3 or 4 of them.  The rest are empty.

For performances sake, am I better off using:

<CFQUERY DATASOURCE="CSM" NAME="Data">
     SELECT a1,a2,a3
     FROM test
</cfquery>

instead of:

<CFQUERY DATASOURCE="CSM" NAME="Data">
      SELECT *
     FROM test
</cfquery>

Will it make a difference in speed?
(It would be alot simpler to use the *
