| I am doing the following statement to return all the column names in the tableselect column_name from information_schema.columns where table_name = 'mytable' the problem I am having is they aren't being returned in the order that they are in in the table which means when I try and do an insert they are going to the wrong fields.How do I return all the fields in the order that they appear in design view for example? |
