Oracle problem with "Select *"

I am new to Oracle and have noticed that Oracle will not use indexes
when I use a "Select *" statement.  Everytime, it does a full table
scan.  However, when I specify columns explicitly, it will use the
correct indexes and return results very quickly.  I am sure this is
well known to you Oracle experts, but is there a url someone can direct
me to that has more information on this?




Thanks,



Chris Bruce
