Just select the fields you want:
SELECT [event], [date] FROM myTable
instead of
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!
