Re: [NOVICE] alter table table add column

Hi,

Sorry for doing the multiple mailing list recipient. Yes I know that
procedure but I would like to insert in between because I have at third
party software that will call the said schema and one of its
dependencies with the mapping is it should have the correct order with
what the receiving end will be use for the mapping. And in this case, I
can't modify the receiving structure (third-party) and the tables that I
will be using is in on production state. So would only mean that I have
to schedule a very fast maintenance, probably 5 to 10 secs just to
re-initialize the tables.

Anyway, thanks for your input, really appreciate it.
