You get all the Field values by asking for them.

You have to type out every Field name in your SELECT statement.

 

You can dynamically get this list by calling:

Field[] fields = binding.describeSObject( "Account" ).getFields();       
for ( int i = 0; i < fields.length; i++ ) {
   System.out.println( fields[i].getName() );
}

There are three more fields in each and every entity bean class

 

__equalsCalc, __hashCodeCalc, typeDesc.

 

Do I need to filter it or this can be done by some special method ??
