Hi,
The following code should work:
fields <- dbListFields(con, db.table.name)
reordered.names <- names(df)[match(fields, names(df))]
df <- df[ ,reordered.names]
But, you might want to try using the function 'dbWriteTable2' in the
'caroline' package. (In fact the three lines above have been copied
verbatim out of said function). It works much like the original
dbWriteTable but also addresses the column reordering frustration you
mention and more: na's in NOT NULL columns, length mismatches, adding NA
columns for missing fields, type checking as well as primary key support
for PostgreSQL.
I use it mainly with Postgres so I can't say for sure if it'll work for
you. But let me know if it doesn't!

hi
I need some help in dbWriteTable.
I'm not able to insert the rows in the table if the column order are not
same in the database and in the dataframe which i'm inserting. Also facing
issue if the table is already created externally and inserting it thru
dbWrite.
is there some way that we can sepecify the rownames in the dbwrite..or any
method which will solve my problem
