Andy,

It makes a difference in an SQL query, but as was already said, the views come back to pretty much the same thing internally. Doing a "SEL COL1 FROM VIEW_WITH_SEL_STAR;" makes the same spool file as "SEL COL1 FROM VIEW_WITH_SEL_COLLIST;". It will take COL1 and potentially a UniqueId into Spool Asgnlist in both cases.

On the other hand:

"SEL * FROM view;" takes all columns into spool.

"SEL COL1 FROM view;" makes a smaller spool file, no matter which syntax was used to create the view.
