Kim Haase updated DERBY-6010:
-----------------------------

    Attachment: rrefsqlj81859.html
                DERBY-6010.diff

Attaching DERBY-6010.diff and rrefsqlj81859.html, adding a paragraph to the 
ALTER TABLE topic. I hope this is sufficient.

M       src/ref/rrefsqlj81859.dita

I should mention that this doc issue results from the same discussion on the 
derby-user list that led to the creation of DERBY-6006, although the 
relationship of this issue to that one may not be obvious.

Thanks in advance for any comments.

> The documentation should state explicitly that ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN adds 
> the new column at the end of the table row. If you need to change a column 
> (for example, to change its data type), the only way to do so is to drop the 
> column and add a new one, and this changes the ordering of the columns.
