Oracle: Display all columns of employees table

Oracle Basic: Exercise-2 with Solution

Write a query to display all the columns of employees table.

Note: To display all the columns for a particular table, you can use the asterisk (*) wildcard character as the SELECT list instead of typing the name of every column.
The result set displays the columns in the order in which they are defined in the table.
