As an example, given a table with 2 columns, if I want to add
a new column "between" the already existing columns, is there
any way to use "alter table" to do this?
The only way I can figure out how to do this and preserve the
data is to dump the database and write a script to modify
the dump by modifying the table structure plus the insert
statements reflecting the change. This seems more painful
and I must be missing an easier way to do this.
I am trying to come up with an automated way to deal with
multiple revisions of a database structure.
Any help? Thanks.
