Is there any option in SQL server 2016 to change column order still, without creating a temp table, and recreating/reinserting whole table? Link below is for 2005.
We have a 500 Million row table in data warehouse. We want to insert a column in the middle. Either we can recreate the table, or utilize 300+ views for all our tables, which have similar situation. The view becomes another meta data presentation layer we have to manage. Wish sql server is smart enough to change column orders easier like Aurora or Postgresql.
How to change column order in a table using sql query in sql server 2005?

No. Column ordinals in SQL Server control the visible order of the columns and the physical layout of the data.

I have MS Access which is linked to SQL Server
I'm typing on a keyboard with Kurdish Central layout.
Data in SQL Server is no problem, but in MS Access it's showing a column as
#Deleted
This problem is only in Kurdish.
What is the solution to this problem?
Thanks for everything ...
I don't believe this has ANY relevance in regards to the language used.
Make sure the server table has a PK id, and also add a row version column to the sql server table. (row version is called timestamp - but has ZERO to do with time - worlds worst name in history for a column type in sql server).
So, ensure the sql table has a PK column defined, and also that timestamp column. Now, rel-link the access table and try again.
I am working on SQL Server Management Studio 2012 where my database is situated, but my operating system runs on Access itself which is linked to SQL server. I have inserted some columns into a table on SQL, but when I want to add these fields into my existing Access report, these new columns does not show on the available fields to insert, although they do on SQL. What am I doing wrong or not doing?
What you miss is to relink the table in Access.
This will update the Fields collection.
In SQL Server 2014 Management Studio:
Unable move (click and drag) columns(priority) in table
Unable to drag relation (between tables) in 'database diagram'
The order of the columns in a table does not have any bearing on "priority". More importantly, the ordering of the columns in a table shouldn't have any significance to your application, the database, or your queries.
IOW, there's no reason to move them around unless you're querying your database with select * and addressing the fields in the result set by ordinals (fields[0],fields[1], etc.).
I have a table in sql server, and another table in ms access. The two tables are different tables. but one column in sql server need fresh data from the table in ms access. Is that possible that when ms access have update or new record, the table in sql server will be updated automatically.
Absolutely yes! Just link the SQL Server table in Access via ODBC (after setting up a DSN). On ribbon, see External Data tab (ODBC).
Then, run an append and update query in the After Insert or After Update VBA trigger event on form from the local table into the linked table.
I wants to build the tool to reorder the fields of already exist table with data in SQL Sever 2008 R2. Also I want to create a logic to add a column in any specific position. In Mysql or firebird they have the options and TSQL queries to do that.Any body please share whether we have that options in SQL Sever 2008 R2. If any smart logic available means share it to me. Thanks in advance.
Re-ordering the columns of an existing table is going to be a costly process. The table will have to be rebuilt from scratch. SQL does this for you by creating a copy of the table using the new order and then inserting the existing data into that table. Once this is done, the initial table is dropped and the new one put back in place.
A better solution would be to use a VIEW. They can be changed at will.
