Details

    • Bug
    • Status: Closed
    • Minor
    • Resolution: Fixed
    • 10.9.1.0, 10.10.1.1
    • 10.9.2.2, 10.10.1.1
    • Documentation
    • None

    Description

      The documentation should state explicitly that ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN adds the new column at the end of the table row. If you need to change a column (for example, to change its data type), the only way to do so is to drop the column and add a new one, and this changes the ordering of the columns.
