Not that great since its nondeterministic. Maybe a better solution is to use a columnar database.

How would a columnar DB help?

BTW I believe all the big RDBMs now support columnar tables.

Certainly, but the use case mentioned here is not related to a performance issue. It's more about syntactic sugar when a user writes SQL in interactive mode to explore data.
