How to add the new column to a specific position

Hello

My table looks like Fallows.

Select * from company

PRODUCT_ID COMPANY_ID COMPANY_SHORT_NAME COMPANY_LONG_NAME
11001An Inc.Long name A Inc.
11002B Inc.Long name B Inc.
11003C Inc.Long name C Inc.
21004D Inc.Long name D Inc.
21005E Inc.Long name E Inc.
21006F Inc.Long name F Inc.

My requirement is I would LIKE to add A NEW COLUMN AS COMPANY_LOCATION NEXT TO COMPANY_SHORT_NAME

How to get there.


I tried like Fallows alter company table add company_location varchar2 (100) after company_short_name;

but this query shows the error

ORA-01735: invalid option of ALTER TABLE

If the query I've tried is correct?

Give me your suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

As long as you're on 11 GR 2 or lower, it will not work.

There is no Clause "AFTER"in the alter table do not add column."

You have the chance to use dbms_redefinition (when no interruption of service is possible) or manually create a new table with the columns in the order you need and then migrate the data and then drop the original and rename a new.

In case you are already on 12 c, you have a chance to add the column to the end and then make visible columns and invisible status in the right order. This way your column will get to the position that you want it to be.

Kind regards

Carsten

    How to add the new column in existing table to our desired location?

    For example, I have to add the new column 'course' before the salary column in the emp table.

    places the data into a temporary table and recreate the table with the correct order of the columns, and then insert data to the table from the temporary table

  • With CVI SQL Toolkit, how to add the new variable param column in a table.

    Dear all:

    I used the CVI Sql toolkit to create a database, but now I don't know how to add a new column to a table in variable param.

    I know, to add a column with the name of constant column could be down by below:

    DBImmediateSQL ((hdbc, "alter table table1 add column1 char [100]");

    But if Column1 is a param variablae how can I write the code? Please advise?  It will be appreciated if you could give me an example.

    Best regards!

    HI -.

    If you look at the parameters that you pass to the SQL function, you can see that the second parameter is a string constant. In your code, you can create an array of characters (string). You can then use sprintf to programmatically determine what will be the contents of this variable. In the function call, you can put the variable instead of the literal string, and you will have a customizable SQL statement.

    Hope this helps-

    Hello

    As the General best practices. You do not direct operations on the ACTIVE database rather test the application in the test environment.

    on the other hand if your column is NOT NULL then it will affect your application otherwise no impact

  • Add the new column on BSE page

    HII ALL

    I have a search page when I search on this page with a few criteria
    It shows a region of array type on what it shows all records in the db, that match this search criteria
    now, I want to add a column at the end of this table on the EBS page that displays
    and I want to show some value related to this record that is displayed on this table

    How can I get this value db linked to some folder basis

    and how do I set new column at the end of the table?

    Hussain

    Here are the steps you need to perform.
    1) go to the page with this region of the table. Click on this link page
    (2) check the name of the VO attached with the region of the table and click
    (3) in this page, you can see all of the attributes that are present in the original Version
    (4) if the new attribute you want to display exists in the vol. note his name.
    (5) create a new column in the region of the table through customization and attach this attribute VO with her as well as the view Instance.

    If this attribute does not exist in the original Version, then you must go for the extension of the VO.

    It could be useful!

    Thank you

    I got the new tab next to open tabs button, but with a recent update of Firefox, the tab button disappeared. Went through all the help points, but how do I add the new Help tab is not listed. The only way to open a new tab is manually using the buttons on windows/t or opening the file and choosing the new tab.

    Hello

    It could be that he is hidden behind another icon. Please try this: right click on the empty space after the last tab and Customize.... With the mini window open, you can move the other toolbars and icons to check if the new tab button is hidden. You can also check inside the mini window customize the icon named new tab or click Restore Default Set that will be hopefully restore back. Please note that if nothing is uninstalled or disabled when you click on restore by default, you will have to redo all changes to manual/personal toolbar.

    You can add additional code to deal with closed_date = resolution_date and if are NULL, but it's a start:

    CASE
    WHEN closed_date > resolution_date THEN 'Y'
    WHEN closed_date < resolution_date THEN 'N'

  • How to add the new line?

    Hello

    I wrote a select statement, the data is displayed, and I want to add a new line, how do?

    There is no icon "more (add)" the above data.

    Then, you insert first a table, then in the other.

    If you choose multiple tables so you are most likely to join them in some way, and when joins between in the field (or even worse grouping functions) you're sure source of data you see actually (this is the reason why by default you cannot insert data from a select query), as it is perfectly possible to select only a single column in a single table , but if this table has multiple columns and one of them is defined as NOT NULL, and you're not selecting then you are out of luck and you cannot insert of your select query.

    There are cases when the insertion is possible and where it is not SQLDeveloper try even to guess if they can put your query, and is a good decision, when the data changes, it is always better to think first of my humble OPINION and you might forget that if edit you a query result grid.
