Question

How do I add a column after another column within MS SQL by using SQL query?

TempTable
ID int,
Type nvarchar(20),
Active bit

NewTable
ID int,
Type nvarchar(20),
Description text,
Active bit

That is what I want, how do I do that

Answer 1

Add a column to the end of the table:

ALTER TABLE myTable ADD myNewColumn VARCHAR(255);

Add a column to the start of the table:

ALTER TABLE myTable ADD myNewColumn VARCHAR(255) FIRST;

Add a column after an existing column:

ALTER TABLE myTable ADD myNewColumn VARCHAR(255) AFTER myOtherColumn;

For additional options, see MySQL’s ALTER TABLE documentation.
