Does any of you have a good script for adding the column? I cannot use the alter table add column statement because the column to be added has to be between two existing column for the application code to work. I think if I use alter table add column, it will add the new column to the end, right? Right now I am doing create a temporary table with the new column, transfer all existing data to the temp table, drop the exising table, rename the temp table. I am wondering whether a script can be written in native dynamic sql which can take the table name as a parameter at run time. Thank you for your help! Rong

Use:
Accept tab_name prompt 'Enter table name: ';
Create table table_temp ......
Insert into table_temp as select (col1, col2...) from &tab_name;

Something like this will prompt the user to enter the table name from which to select the data and insert into another.

This will not work. Because the column list will have to change based on the table name input by the user. Thanks for replying! Rong
