What do you mean by "in a middle of a table?" A relation is simply a set of attributes that _don't_ forcibly have an order, because sets are unordered.

In the SQL spec, columns are ordered, iirc, as sad as that is. Writing application code that depends on column order is asking for pain and suffering.
