Hello,

Can someone please help me on this.

I need to move data between columns in a table. Ex: Need to move all the data in column1 to coulmn2 and data in column2 to column3 and data in column 3 to column1.

Any help on this would highly be appreciated.

Thanks!
Alpesh

make a copy of your table ...
create table y as select * from x;
delete * from x;
insert into x (column1) select column3 from y;
insert into x (column2) select column1 from y;
etc...
