OriginalSunny Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Hi, i want to add some columns to me table after other columns already exsistent in the table. I know the following command works:alter table tablename add column columnname ... first;This puts the column at the beginning of the table. How do i place it so its the third column in the table or so that it is after another column?? Thanks.
