Rearrange column order in Sqlyog

Question

Is it possible to rearrange a table's column order in SQL yog?

Answer 1

Column order is irrelevant to a database, so there isn't any benefit beyond readability to reorganizing column order.

The only means of reordering a tables columns is to:

1. Rename the current table to something else, like [tablename]_ORIG. A database won't allow identically named tables
2. Create a new table with the column order you desire
3. Copy the data from the old table into the new one
4. Delete the old table

Answer 2

Yes. Table / More Table Operations / Reorder Columns (ctrl shift r)
