I was slowly ramping up to run with them as a provider on the personal routers of my entire family. Mainly because it would have saved me the headache of setting up my own VPN provider. Shame, that. They seemed so promising.

MSSQL Server has had this capability since forever. You can even graphically drag-and-drop column order from within SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio), although it’s always seemed sketch AF to me, and I wouldn’t want to do this with a larg
