I have TOAD for Oracle DBA Suite. I did have Embarcadero’s DBArtisan but decided to drop that license when we upgraded last year. I have one development group that requests adding a column to their tables and want the column in a certain position - I know they can handle this using queries and views so it is not really necessary. My issue is DBArtisan handled this very well - basically you just inserted the new column where you wanted it and DBArtisan would do the rest - rename the table, create the new table, load the table and create the indexes. Does anyone know of a place within TOAD DBA Suite that will do this easily?
Hello Linda, One of our developer’s asked this same question today and I showed
him how TOAD’s “Table Rebuild” feature would let him re-arrange the table
structure fairly painlessly. The feature will generate DDL that you may modify
and then use to rebuild and re-populate the table including all constraints,
triggers etc. Look for the Rebuild Table feature.
