Final answer:

Yes, it is possible to add a column at a specific position to a table.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, it is possible to add a column at a specific position to a table.

In most database management systems (DBMS), you can use the ALTER TABLE statement to add a column to a table. The syntax usually includes specifying the table name, the new column name, and the data type of the column. Additionally, you can specify the position of the new column using the AFTER or BEFORE keywords followed by the column name where you want the new column to be positioned.

For example, in SQL, the following statement can be used to add a column named 'new_column' after the column 'existing_column' in a table named 'my_table':

ALTER TABLE my_table ADD COLUMN new_column AFTER existing_column;
