Your point? Specifically?
If I read the manual (refered to above) correctly, the only thing you can put after "alter table MEMBERS alter MEMBER_INFO" is either "SET DEFAULT literal" or "DROP DEFAULT". I think you have to use ALTER TABLE MEMBERS CHANGE MEMBER_INFO MEMBER_INFO VARCHAR(160) ...; with ... optionally NOT NULL and/or DEFAULT 'whatever' -- felix -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
