True - does not matter to the database but then neither do files created using DDS. It's the human factor when looking at the table. Makes more sense to me to have common files grouped together and if I add a new field in the future that makes sense to group with existing fields I like to do that. Yes a view can be created to rearrange the fields but most developers will look at the table and not a view. And the documentation tools (dspfd dspffd etc) are usually run against the table (at least around here). And it also takes two steps to add a field, add it to the table and then also add it to the view.

Subject: Re: Move fields in SQL created table

Very doubtful.

One of the tenets of SQL is that the physical layout doesn't matter.

Is there a way to move a column(field) in an sql created table(file)?  In DDS I would just rearrange the fields in the source and do a CHGPF and the fields moved. In iSeries Navigator I can move a column around before I create the table but once it exists it does not let me move the columns up or down.
