Hello,

is there a syntax to add a column not at the last place, but
somewhere inbetween or do I have to dump/restore the table?

For example if I'd like to add last_logout right after last_login:

 \d pref_users;
               Table "public.pref_users"
  Column   |            Type             |   Modifiers
------------+-----------------------------+---------------
 id         | character varying(32)       | not null
 first_name | character varying(32)       |
 last_name  | character varying(32)       |
 female     | boolean                     |
 avatar     | character varying(128)      |
 city       | character varying(32)       |
 lat        | real                        |
 lng        | real                        |
 last_login | timestamp without time zone | default now()
 last_ip    | inet                        |
 medals     | smallint                    | default 0

Thank you
