That SQL has * as the only abstraction for column names is quite frustrating.
I can think of so many other ways of dereferencing column names, from using a map/or lookup table to using types.
For example, selecting the unique id of a table regardless of what its name is.
- spullara 4y agoSomething like that seems reasonable until you realize that the unique id of a table could be a composite key and then things get complicated.
