迟到的帖子，但我认为值得分享

在 SQLSERVER-2016 之前，选择 * 时没有任何选项可以隐藏表中的几列，但是 SQLSERVER-2016 提出了 HIDDEN 关键字，您现在可以通过该关键字设置对 Select * 隐藏的列，您不想显示这些列，并且只需要您的业务逻辑的某些后台进程.

HIDDEN 属性是可选的，将隐藏这些列来自标准的 SELECT 语句，以便与我们的向后兼容申请和查询.您不能将 HIDDEN 属性应用于现有列

.

您也可以更改现有表，让我们以现有表为例

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Account] ALTER COLUMN [StartDate] ADD HIDDEN;ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Account] ALTER COLUMN [EndDate] ADD HIDDEN;

您可以在 Temporal table

中查看更常用的概念

Can anyone please share the steps to hide the particular column from the table in SQL Server 2012 as I don't want to delete that column

By hide I mean that whenever I use the select query against that particular table it should never show me that column.

Is it possible? I need to make the column as hidden irrespective of any user login and whatever query i use

3rd party edit

Based on the comment But the problem is whenever i open the table in sql i dont want to see that particular column i assume that the question is:

• How can i configure ssms so that opening a table definition inside sql management studio to only show the columns the connected user has select right to?

The screenshot below shows all columns of the table Employee despite the fact that the login StackoverIntern has no select rights to the columns SSN, Salary

Late post but I think its worth to share

Earlier to SQLSERVER-2016 there was no any option to hide few columns from table when selecting *, however SQLSERVER-2016 come up with HIDDEN keyword by which you can now set columns hidden from Select * which you don't want to show and want only for some background process of your business logic.

The HIDDEN property is optional and will hide these columns from a standard SELECT statement for backward compatibility with our application and queries. You cannot apply the HIDDEN property to an existing column

.

you can alter existing table as well lets take an example of existing table

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Account] ALTER COLUMN [StartDate] ADD HIDDEN;
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Account] ALTER COLUMN [EndDate] ADD HIDDEN;

You can check this concept used more often in Temporal table

you can find more on this in below Temporal Table
