Just select the fields you want:

SQL

SELECT [event], [date] FROM myTable

instead of

SQL

SELECT * FROM myTable

You should avoid using wildcard field specifiers at all times - they increase bandwidth and can change or crash your application if the database is altered.

P.S. I only used the '[' and ']' around the column names because "date" is a reserved word in SQL and can stop your queries working when used as a column name. It's best to avoid using column names which are also reserved words!
