To add a new column to a table in Oracle database and specify its position, you can use the ALTER TABLE statement along with ADD COLUMN and either FIRST or AFTER keyword.

For example, to add a new field to the table and place it in the first position, you can use the following statement:

ALTER TABLE your_table_name
ADD your_new_column_name your_column_data_type FIRST;

You can use the AFTER keyword to place a new field in a specific position after existing fields.

ALTER TABLE your_table_name
ADD your_new_column_name your_column_data_type AFTER existing_column_name;

Please make sure to back up your data before executing the ALTER TABLE statement to avoid any unexpected events.
