I saw this question:
quote:
Sandeep writes Hi IT Guys, during an interview, a recruiter asked me "How can you retrieve the first n number of fields using sql statement withought using field names?" ex. Table A contains 50 fields and I want to select first 10 fields. I don't want to mention all the 10 fields name. I love these questions!


The thing is that I think the solution given is WAAAAAAAY too complicated. Wouldn't this query work?

select top 10 * from table
