select specific column only in mysql

Question

my table-1 has 20 columns and table-2 has 15 columns. here i want to join two tables by user id . i use this bellow query

SELECT  * FROM   table_checkout_bidpack as t1 inner JOIN table_user_information 
as t2 ON t1.user_id=t2.user_id

This query selects 35 columns but i need to select on columns(user_name) in the second table

i know this work

select t1.col1,t1.col2,t1.col3,t1.col4,.....,t2.user_name 
FROM   table_checkout_bidpack as t1 inner JOIN table_user_information 
as t2 ON t1.user_id=t2.user_id

This looks very big any other ways to do this

Answer 1

select t1.*,t2.user_name 
FROM   table_checkout_bidpack as t1 inner JOIN table_user_information 
as t2 ON t1.user_id=t2.user_id

Answer 2

select t1.*,t2.user_name 
FROM   table_checkout_bidpack as t1 inner JOIN table_user_information 
as t2 ON t1.user_id=t2.user_id

* is a wildcard selector, by itself it will match all columns in all tables, but if you prefix it with table. it will only match columns in that table.
