SELECT * FROM ZipLock

I saw this commercial a while ago, but found a copy of it on YouTube only recently. (Thankfully Congress dropped SOPA/PIPA, so I feel safe sharing it…) Anyway, this is a bit how it’s like when writing a query with SELECT *. We don’t have the convenience of a plastic bag to save the unused data from an errant query, so show responsibility and add the columns you really need.
