Never say never.....
One of my applications loads a huge amount of data from a text file,
sifts through and discards much of it, and rearranges what's left.
Finally, it is added to similar data from many other files.
For that last step, SELECT * is the sensible way to go.
If you really do want everything, why force yourself to
have to edit the select if ever a column is added or deleted?
