Is there any way to select columns by ordinal position rather than by name?
Something like
Select t.[1] as col1, t.[2] as col2
FROM table t
The question comes because of a very specific situation where I've got 2 databases that have exactly the same schema at a column/datatype level but the column names are different. There are a few other ways to skin the cat but I'm interested if it can be done this way - without a join to syscolumns ;)
