There is any way to include one or more columns in a specific order

  • 0

There is any way to include one or more columns in a specific order (after X column, for eg) in SQL Server 2005? Or something like change the master, or a sysobject, or a MODIFY command?

Please:

NOT MySQL (AFTER COLUMN doesn’t work)

NOT DROP TABLE-CREATE TABLE (I can NOT implement this option on production without put down the application)

I can NOT touch the application, it’s not my APP or APP.Team

I can NOT KNOW if there is somewhere in the application there is a SELECT * FROM so I must assume that YES, there is.

No, is not a desire, is an specific requirement, the table gets a feed from external source (app) through a job.

    You can only add columns at the end.

    And even that will use a schema modify lock for a short time, so in a very sensitive production environment, you should be aware of this.
