Hello! I want to restructure a table called study. this table has the following structure:
Table "study" Attribute | Type | Modifier ------------------------+------------------------+---------- chilioid | character varying(80) | instanceuid | character varying(64) | id | character varying(64) | studydate | date | studytime | time | modality | character varying(2) | manufacturer | character varying(128) | referingphysician | character varying(128) | description | character varying(128) | manufacturersmodelname | character varying(128) | importtime | double precision | chilisenderid | character varying(80) | accessionnumber | character varying(64) | institutionname | character varying(128) | workflowstate | character varying(8) | flags | character varying(8) | performingphysician | character varying(128) | reportingphysician | character varying(128) | parentoid | character varying(80) | So , what I have to do is to move the column parentoid between chilioid and instanceoid. After that operation parentoid is the second column in the table study. Can I do any restructuring in the running database or should I dump the database and create a new changed schema and then put the data from the dump back? So this would spent a lot of time, otherwise it works sure. Is there any oppertunity to restructure the existing database without using a dump? Thanks in advance David
