Select statement for LARGE!! Table

[Anon]

My table consists of several columns, but one of my columns contains a MASSIVE amount of data. In one part of my site I don't need to select this column, but I still do a Select * statement when selecting information from the table. Recently I've noticed that the page is loading REALLY slowly. Is there any possible way to not select the column with a lot of data and will this make my page load up faster?

Don't use select *.
Just type in the fields that you require.
For example:

select field1, field2 from table1
