Following statement gives me an error:
ALTER TABLE employee ALTER COLUMN Startdate datetime
Error:
Mysql error 1064
Mysql does not use ALTER COLUMN.
ALTER TABLE table_name
MODIFY COLUMN column_name datatype
Please Try the following
ALTER TABLE `DbName`.`table_name`
CHANGE COLUMN `column_name` `new_col_name` VARCHAR(250) NOT NULL DEFAULT '' ;

This is a good read :)
Sql keeps throwing me a syntax error and I can't seem to figure out whats wrong.
ALTER TABLE `productList` ALTER COLUMN `ASIN` VARCHAR(32);
The error is the normal sql syntax error
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'VARCHAR(32)' at line 1
Try this:
ALTER TABLE `productList` MODIFY COLUMN `ASIN` VARCHAR(32);
The syntax to change the column name is
ALTER TABLE tablename MODIFY COLUMN new-column-definition
You need to use MODIFY COLUMN instead of ALTER COLUMN if you want to change the column definition.
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/alter-table.html
It's modify, not alter column.
ALTER TABLE table_name
MODIFY column_name column_definition
[ FIRST | AFTER column_name ];
I am gettting a mysql error when trying to change the column names on these tables:
alter field_data_commerce_customer_address CHANGE field_mcaf_middle_name commerce_customer_address_middle_name varchar (255);
alter field_revision_commerce_customer_address CHANGE field_mcaf_middle_name commerce_customer_address_middle_name varchar (255);
This is my error
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'field_data_commerce_customer_address CHANGE field_mcaf_middle_name commerce_cust' at line 1
I checked the table and column names and they are correct. What am I missing
You missed 'TABLE' word:
alter TABLE field_data_commerce_customer_address CHANGE field_mcaf_middle_name commerce_customer_address_middle_name varchar (255);
alter TABLE field_revision_commerce_customer_address CHANGE field_mcaf_middle_name commerce_customer_address_middle_name varchar (255);
I get an error when using this command to alter my SQL table
Error message:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax;
check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near 'ALTER TABLE `report` AUTO_INCREMENT = 1, 30' at line 2`
Any idea of that?
So why would you say AUTO_INCREMENT=1,30 ?
It has to be one number, and not a comma separated list of numbers.
ALTER TABLE report AUTO_INCREMENT=1
or
ALTER TABLE report AUTO_INCREMENT=30
Reference: MySQL
I'm trying to change the existing column "time_sent" to default to the time during insertion. My SQL is:
ALTER TABLE `email_history` alter `time_sent` set DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
I'm getting this error though:
MySQL said:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'CURRENT_TIMESTAMP' at line 1
I've read the documentation and other (similar, but not identical) examples, and no luck.
My version of MySQL is 5.0.67 I believe.
It should be ..
ALTER TABLE 'table' MODIFY collumn_1 TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;
