What do you mean by "position" of the PK column?

What do you mean by"position" of the PK column?
|||Hi dilbert1947,
Based on my understanding, if you mean "the column sequence number" for "the position of the primary key column", then i think there is nothing you have to worry about. In my opinion, changing the column sequence of your primary key won't affect anything in your database schema.
Hope my suggestion can help

Ok let me put it this way. I had to add a primary key column (programmatically) to all the tables in a database. Now when you right click and view the table, you see the newly added primary key column as the right most column. After the primary key column was added, many foreign keys were also added in many of the tables. Now one way to change the column "position" is to manually right click on each table and click modify and then manually move the column to the top, so that every time you view the table, the primary key column appears on the left. Myself being a lazy person, I'd lprefer to write code that would do this in all the tables rather than manually modifying all the tables.
I hope that makes things clear.
