Hi,

I just want to make sure of something, since with Oracle 8i, some old habits are no longer needed.

On Oracle 816 is the position of a column in a table important ?

A lot of tables will change and most of the PK also. I will test the drop column a lot ;-)
and I'll add some fields who will now be part of the PK, does it matter if some mandatory fields are the last fields of a table ? Even with non-mandatory fields before them ?

No flame please, this phase was the last one under the duhveloppers responsability .
