sql developer behavior, expands table.* to show all fields?

oatsMar 30 2009 — edited Mar 31 2009
Am I doing something wrong, or does sql developer (10g) have an odd behavior?

If I create a view

select mytable.* from mytable

it saves the view like

select mytable.myid, mytable.mycol1, mytable.mycol2 from mytable

IE it replaces the mytable.* with a select clause that includes every column individually. I've never seen any sql editor do anything like this.
