Hi!
How can I find out what the order of columns in a table is?
If I do a select * from tablename, the columns appear in a specific order.
The same order than they appear when I do a describe tablename.
I can even do an insert without specifying the columns in my VALUES
(.....,....) when they are in that specific order.
How and where can I find the order of the columns within a table?
Any ideas?
Yhis is 8.1.6 on Win2k.
Thanks,
Helmut
