Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Reorder columns?
I once stayed up 24 hours straight rebuilding a database, only to have
the developers complain that it broke their apps because the apps were
dependent on column order. I was amazed that a large Oracle shop could
wind up with this situation, as it is so basic.
It's real important to understand that the order of columns returned is not guaranteed unless you specify it.
