Hi Joe,
While not being Rudy or trying to take his place, I had raised this issue
once before, and thought that this article was pretty good about it.

Hello evolters (and kudos on evolt.org 2.0) --
A while back Rudy mentioned something about "the evil of * in select
statements" and said something like (reference available) after it.
Well - I'm sort of asking Rudy - but I'd like to hear more about this. I
know the general principal is "don't pull more from the database than
you need, as this impacts performance, etc" - but I'd like to hear it
straight from the SQL-Gods's Mouth. :-)
Muchas gracias,
Joe
