Hi all,

Just had a quick question with regards to the order of the columns 
within a create table statement

I have a few tables that use the BLOB type for storing various lengths 
of binary data and I was wondering if its better (more efficient) to 
always declare columns of this type last within the create table 
statement or not. 

I'm not searching on these columns but they do have the chance of being 
updated with more or less binary data than was originally in them, so 
wondered if there is any penalty difference for having them at the end or 
in the middle of of a list of other columns within the table. Or does 
it not really matter given that any column can handle any data type ?


Thanks

Wayne
