Can u swap the columns after creation of table

hi,
my doubt is --can u swap the columns of the table
ie..,
create table dd(f int ,e int ,g int)
table structure ;
f e g
1 2 4
now i want the columns to be swaped as : e f g
i know i can get the answer by using a select statement
select e,f,g from dd
but i want to get the table struncture as as e f g
when i write -- select * from dd
i have to get the structure as said above
then i have to insert the values can any one help me
satishIt is recommended to never do SELECT * or INSERT without column list in prod
uction code, which makes
that code independent of the order of columns in a table.
Anyhow, no, there is no way to change column order in a table without re-cre
ating the table.
