public non-sealed Interface Asterisk

extends SelectFieldOrAsterisk
Known Direct Implementers
org.jooq.impl.AsteriskImpl
Imports
org.jetbrains.annotations.*, .ApiStatus.Experimental, org.jooq.impl.DSL, .QOM, .QOM.UnmodifiableList
An unqualified asterisk.

Asterisks (qualified and unqualified) are expressions that can be used exclusively in SELECT clauses and a few other clauses that explicitly allow for asterisks, including RETURNING on DML statements. Asterisks are syntax sugar in SQL, which are expanded to a column list by the parser once all the columns in the FROM clause are known.

Example: 


// Assuming import static org.jooq.impl.DSL.*;

using(configuration)
   .select(asterisk())
   .from(ACTOR)
   .fetch();

Instances can be created using DSL#asterisk().

public @NotNull Asterisk except(String... fieldNames)

The asterisk (* EXCEPT (fields)) expression to be used in SELECT clauses.

This expression is a convenient way to select "all but some fields". Some dialects (e.g. SQLDialect#H2) implement this feature natively. In other dialects, jOOQ expands the asterisk if possible.
