[thelist] Select *

[Ashish]

Hi,
   I remember some time back there was some mention about not using 'select
*' in a statement but using the exact columns. Went through the archives,
but am not able to find the exact reference. I did find Scott telling
someone not to use it but nothing more. I did some research and found this :

However, are there any other reasons besdides the one given in the above
article ? I need to enforce this and have to do some hard convincing, and
some solid reason which I can quote.
Regards and thanks,
Ashish
