without having to specify the actual fields to get all the columns from table A, named as they exist, and then all the remaining fields from table B. I do not want to specify the fields that are common to both tables. I want matching records and only 1 occurance of all columns.

Either explicitly name all fields or alter table afterwards. You don't have a 3rd choice.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
