Exclude columns from Table in SQL Server with limmited read rights

I try to fetch data from a Table in an SQL Server where I have limmited read access for specific columns.

 

If I try to see the table I get the follwoing error

"DataSource.Error: Microsoft SQL: The SELECT permission was denied on the column 'XYZ' of the object 'tableName', database 'DBName', schema 'schemaName'."

 

Because I do not have access to read the column 'XYZ'. Is there anyway to exclude columns?

 

The equivalent SQL Query would be:

SELECT [ABC], [DEF]
FROM [DBName].[schemaName].[tableName]

 

 

instead of  the follwoing two queries that wold not work because I do not have read access for a specific column.

SELECT *

FROM [DBName].[schemaName].[tableName]

 

SELECT [ABC], [DEF], [XYZ]

FROM [DBName].[schemaName].[tableName]

When connecting to the SQL Server data source, click on the Advanced link and then you can enter a specific SQL query like the first one that you listed.
