For nontemporal tables, an asterisk (*) in a select list causes all table columns to be returned by the SELECT statement. For temporal tables with any qualifier other than nonsequenced, only the nontemporal columns from the original table are returned. To have temporal columns from the original table returned with SELECT statements that use the asterisk to return all nontemporal columns, preface the asterisk with the table name and a period, and follow the asterisk with a comma, then list the temporal columns (or component columns of a temporal column defined as a derived period type) to be returned with the nontemporal columns.
