Re: Rearrange Column

Rik,

Clearly, if you do

SELECT colA, colB FROM MyTable

vs

SELECT colB, colA FROM MyTable

you'll get the results in a different sequence. Obviously, using this
approach has not manipulated the underlying table (your interpretation of
what the OP is asking for), but perhaps the OP's question is that they're
wondering if the *reporting* tool (i.e., pgAdmin) could hopefully allow you
to rearrange the sequence in which a table's columns are displayed so that
when you do a

SELECT * FROM MyTable

pgAdmin will take care of manipulating the results of the query to
*display* the columns in a specified sequence.

Yes, the OP currently has the ability to craft a custom query, e.g.,

SELECT colA, colB, colZ, colT, colC, colQ, colD, colE...

to get the exact order they want, but it would actually be nice if the
reporting tool took care of this for you so you could just specify "SELECT
*" and get the columns in the way you want to see them, or, should they be
using "View/Edit Rows" pgAdmin would again show the rows in the prefered
order.

Cheers,
Dave
