Hi,

A little silly question at first sight, but I'm putting
together a site (PHP/Firebird), and I have some very basic
question:

Let's say I have one table, containing two fields: ID,
NAME, AGE. I need to fetch ALL field ONLY from this one
table and nothing more from any other tables. Values for
all fields need to be displayed.

Are there any technical reasons in this particular case
(speed, efficiency of FB's databse engine) of using:

SELECT ID, NAME, AGE

as opposed to just

SELECT *

Thanks.
Darius.
