I agree with the post above but this issue about normalisation comes up again and again.
a 284 col table is plainly not normalised. databases seldom seem to be modelled and often seem to act purely as a kind of temorary store for data.
You're right about the poster needing solutions but it is strange that this issue is raised again and again
