anatak Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Is it possible to change the order of the columns in a table after you created the table or do you have to drop the table and recreate it in the right order ? I have a table products with columns Id (primary key) ModelId Price TypeId I would like to put the TypeId column after the Id column but I am not sure if this is a good idea. It is not really important just something that nags me subconsiously and I was wondering if you could alter the table or not. kind regards anatak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I suggest reading this First' date=' consider whether you really need to change the column order in a table. The whole point of SQL is to abstract the application from the data storage format.[/quote'] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anatak Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Thanks, well as I said it is not needed at all for the application it was just for my piece of mind. I like things ordered in my DB. thanks for the link. topic closed anatak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
