Add Column on SQL Server on Specific Place?

Question

I would like to know if there\'s a way to add a column to an SQL Server table after it\'s created and in a specific position??

Thanks.

Answer 1

You can do that in Management-Studio. You can examine the way this is accomplished by generating the SQL-script BEFORE saving the change. Basically it's achieved by:

• removing all foreign keys
• creating a new table with the added column
• copying all data from the old into the new table
• dropping the old table
• renaming the new table to the old name
• recreating all the foreign keys
