If I want all column in a table though surely SELECT * is better.
In fact, performance on SELECT * is better than "SELECT field1, field2, field3,
field4, field5, field6, field7, field8" because mysql doesn't have to go
looking for the specific fields you've requested but just returns you
everything and since you know you want everything there is no problem.
