Re: alter table add column question

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



First I should have mentioned that I'm using VFP6 (all free tables - old
program originally in FP 2.5 for DOS that only gets enough annual changes to
get the job done). I didn't do that in my post. Sorry about that to anyone
reading this.

> Just curious as to why you would want this?

Because it's easier for me to work with things during development when
columns are organized a certain way. Foxpro, SQL, Firebird, Jet, etc. all
have the ability to let you move columns up and down in the table structure
in the design of a table. Some let you move columns up and down
programatically or add them in at certain positions. So can VFP6 do this? I
can't find anything in the help file that suggests it's possible.

> Are you writing code that relies on column positions?

No. That would be a pretty bad design!
