当我们需要修改数据表名或者修改数据表字段时,就需要使用到MySQL ALTER命令。
开始本章教程前让我们先创建一张表,表名为:testalter_tbl。
root@host# mysql -u root -p password; Enter password:******* mysql> use TUTORIALS; Database changed mysql> create table testalter_tbl -> ( -> i INT, -> c CHAR(1) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.05 sec) mysql> SHOW COLUMNS FROM testalter_tbl; +-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | i | int(11) | YES | | NULL | | | c | char(1) | YES | | NULL | | +-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
