Abstract

Online reordering for database table columns may allow a user to reorder the columns of a database table without taking the database offline. A mapping between different column orders for a database table may be generated and stored in response to a request to reorder columns in a database table. When a portion of the database table is accessed, the columns of the database table in the accessed portion of the database table may be reordered to perform the access request.
