I have a developer group that need read access on tables and I need to hide a few columns in the tables. What is the best way to do this. The more detailed the answer the better...

Thanks.

The DENY command can do this. You can DENY SELECT permissions on the column(s) to those users that shouldn't see them.

The sooner you look up "DENY" in Books Online, the better.

But that will evan cause a SELECT * FROM <table> to fail.
An alternative is to create view with only the columns you want the users to access and grant them permission only to that view.
