Answer / bruhaspathy

You cannot add a column at that particular position that you wanted. Instead the workaround is that you add the column using the Alter Table command and then after the columns are created, you can go to object explorer and right click the table, select modify and then move the column to the desired column location you wanted.

Answer / soorai ganesh

Hi Buddy,

Its not possible in SQLSERVER. If u want to add column in
particular ordinal position you have to drop the table and
have to create again the same table with your ordinal
choice. Incase if u have data in table, get them into one
temporary table and drop the table and recreate the table
again. then restore the data from temporary table..........
