/**
* An unqualified asterisk.
*
* Asterisks (qualified and unqualified) are expressions that can be used
* exclusively in SELECT clauses and a few other clauses that
* explicitly allow for asterisks, including RETURNING on DML
* statements. Asterisks are syntax sugar in SQL, which are expanded to a column
* list by the parser once all the columns in the FROM clause are
* known.
*
* Example:
*
*
* // Assuming import static org.jooq.impl.DSL.*;
*
* using(configuration)
* .select(asterisk())
* .from(ACTOR)
* .fetch();
*
*
* Instances can be created using {@link DSL#asterisk()}.
