>>>I alredy know the command ALTER TABLE .... to modify a table. I'm able to add fields, but they are always added as the last field.

This is just an idea, but should work:

Hi Houston,

Actually, I thought about it too, but:
1) What if the table is part of DBC?
2) What if it contains too many records?
3) How about indexes?

Quite a combersome solution... Pity, that there is no simple mechanism for doing that.
