Add Column on SQL Server on Specific Place?

Question

I would like to know if there\'s a way to add a column to an SQL Server table after it\'s created and in a specific position??

Thanks.

No.

Basically, SSMS behind the scenes will copy the table, constraints, etc, drop the old table and rename the new.

The reason is simple - columns are not meant to be ordered (nor are rows), so you're always meant to list which columns you want in a result set (select * is a bit of a hack)
